Interestingly, the 2D segments are the only place you encounter Koopa Troopas as enemies, as in the rest of the game, Koopas only appear as NPCs hosting mini games. These areas are a nice little throwback that bring out nostalgic feelings. Mario enters these areas from a 2D blocky pipe which is a nice touch. There are numerous sections in the game that feature 2D segments where Mario entirely turns 2D and resembles his look from the Super Mario Bros. For the most part, kingdoms are very large vast areas, but many moons are much shorter side quests that can be consumed in shorter gameplay sessions. Once you become immersed into the game you will naturally gain a sense of curiosity to check corners, and climb up walls to find moons. The gamer is empowered as there is often is no specific order to collect moons, it's flexible and you can play the way you like to play. Power Moons are all over the place, some are just out in the open, hidden in the ground, from enemies, from mini-games, to traditional platforming challenges. One of the main goals is to collect Power Moons to power up the Odyssey, which is the hat-shaped ship that flies Mario and Cappy around the world. There is no real concept of an overworld like in Super Mario 64 or Super Mario Galaxy, but most kingdoms have a lot of open space where you can roam around and perfect Mario and Cappy's moves. For example, there is the bustling and busy New Donk City in Metro Kingdom with yellow taxis and the dinosaur themed Cascade Kingdom. Each kingdom that you will encounter is unique and has different themes. SMO is indeed a game with wide open worlds, and the game mechanics are quite close to Super Mario Galaxy, but it is far less linear. Super Mario Odyssey has been described by the developers as a "sandbox style" game, similar to Super Mario 64 and Super Mario Sunshine. As you play and explore, you will find yourself throwing Cappy at almost everything to see what you can capture, and there are often surprises! Capturing something gives Mario a special ability, and is needed to complete certain tasks in the game. There are a few missions that require special caps and outfits, but for the most part they are just for aesthetics, that allow you to dress up Mario the way you like, or to fit the theme of a level.Ĭappy's main function is to be thrown as a projectile, which lets him "capture" some enemies, allies and objects. By default, Cappy appears in the form of Mario's hat, but later on he can take different forms of caps that can be purchased from the Crazy Cap stores, along with different outfits for Mario. Princess Peach and Tiara, get it? Heh.Ĭappy is a hat with special powers, he seems to have a body that somewhat resembles a Boo, but he allies himself with Mario. But this time around, he is planning to force Peach to marry him on the Moon, and the Mario needs to travel the world visiting different kingdoms to stop the wedding! In order to get to the Moon, Mario encounters Cappy, who is similarly trying to rescue his sister Tiara from Bowser. Mario games are always a significant milestone as there is often only one released per console.Ī little unspectacular in how Mario games go, but once again *drumroll* Bowser has captured Princess Peach. Nintendo has been going through a renaissance following the dismal performance of the Wii U. It has been a remarkable year for the Nintendo Switch since its launch in March 2017, and Super Mario Odyssey is one highly anticipated game that gamers were looking forward to.
