Super Mario Odyssey, Nintendo Switch

Join Mario on a colossal, globe-spanning 3D journey and harness his extraordinary new abilities to gather Moons that fuel your airship, the Odyssey, and save Princess Peach from Bowser’s matrimonial schemes! This sandbox-style 3D Mario escapade, a successor to the much-loved Super Mario 64 from 1996 and the iconic Super Mario Sunshine from 2002, is brimming with enigmas and astonishments. With Mario’s novel maneuvers like cap throw, cap jump, and capture, you’re in for thrilling and exhilarating gameplay experiences that are a cut above anything you’ve relished in a Mario game to date. Brace yourself to be transported to bizarre and wondrous locales far removed from the Mushroom Kingdom!

Embark on this grand adventure with Mario, the world-renowned plumber with a knack for saving the day. This time, the stakes are higher than ever before, as Princess Peach has been whisked away by the notorious Bowser, who is intent on marrying her. It’s up to you to traverse through strange lands, meet friendly faces, and overcome challenging obstacles to foil Bowser’s plans and bring Princess Peach back home.

In this game, you’ll explore a variety of unique kingdoms, each with its own distinct theme, challenges, and characters. From the bustling streets of New Donk City to the eerie quiet of the Moon Kingdom, there’s always something new to discover. Along the way, you’ll encounter a host of familiar enemies and allies, as well as some new ones. You’ll need to use all of Mario’s abilities and the power of his trusty cap, Cappy, to navigate these diverse environments and come out on top.

One of the key features of this game is the ability to “capture” objects and enemies using Mario’s cap. This allows you to control them and use their abilities to solve puzzles and overcome obstacles. Whether you’re controlling a towering T-Rex or a lowly Goomba, each capture presents a unique gameplay experience and opens up a world of possibilities.

In addition to the main story, there are plenty of side quests and mini-games to enjoy. You can race against the clock in time trials, hunt for hidden Power Moons, or even play a game of jump rope in the park. There’s no shortage of things to do in Super Mario Odyssey, making it a game that truly offers something for everyone.

Super Mario Odyssey also introduces a new feature: the ability to customize Mario’s appearance. Throughout your journey, you’ll find shops where you can buy new outfits for Mario. These outfits aren’t just for show - some of them grant special abilities or allow you to access areas that would otherwise be unreachable.
