Customers highly value Super Mario Odyssey for its fun and challenging gameplay, beautiful graphics, and family-friendly nature. Many appreciate the open-world gaming experience and the ability to play multiplayer with friends and family. Some customers, however, find the two-player mode less enjoyable and feel that collecting coins and moons can become repetitive.

Super great game! Single player is my favorite mode. 2 Player is not as much fun. The game is challenging and fun! Excellent work Nintendo!

Introducing Cappy...

You can play this as one player or two player. If two player, one player plays as Mario and the second player plays as Cappy (his hat). This is one of the first games I've played that where it makes good use of the Joy Cons, where I prefer the Joy Cons over the Pro Controller. I think it's really creative how they implemented movements of the Joy Cons with buttons to create actions in the games. For me, this game was a lot like Super Mario Galaxy on the Nintendo Wii, which I loved. This game offers fun, entertaining 3D gameplay.

I bought this during the Mario Day sale in early March for my 6-year old son's Nintendo Switch. He really enjoys playing it, and I enjoy playing the two player mode with him to help him if he gets stuck. The game features Mario and his new sidekick hat, "Cappie." The game has lots of fun puzzles, and mixes well the ability to play in an open 3D area against enemies that 30 to 40 year old parents will find familiar, if not downright nostalgic, from their childhoods.

Ok I wasn’t convinced at first. I didn’t really care for the game at first, I was bummed out because I heard it was the best switch game. I took my switch on vacation with me and during the flights I played super Mario odyssey. I really got into the game, its fun, exciting and something new. I wish maybe there was a separate thing for multiplier because the second person only gets to be a hat. Try this out you won’t regret it.

Super Mario Odyssey is Pure Magic!

If you like Mario, then buy this game. Just stop reading here and get it.
Super Mario Odyssey recaptures the magic of Super Mario in surprising new ways. It brings with it a return to the game play of Mario 64, wherein the world is explored instead of completed. (Unlike Mario 64, the level doesn't end when you obtain a Power Moon; you can keep playing.)
In traditional Mario-style, Peach is yet again kidnapped by Bowser, who is planning a wedding to marry her! Mario tries to stop him, but is beaten back to the Cap Kingdom. Mario meets a local, Cappy, whose girlfriend (a tiara) is worn by Princess Peach. Together they begin their journey. to save their respective sweathearts.
Cappy is with Mario throughout the game. He can be thrown horizontally, vertically, and even in a circle! He serves as an attack, a way to collect coins, to deflect or destroy projectiles, to act as a platform, and to capture enemies! This final technique provides the most variety for the game, as Mario essentially becomes the captured creature/enemy! Mario can capture a LOT of characters from frogs, to turtles, to fish, to Bullet Bills!
In order to go from one Kingdom to the next they find and repair their hat-shaped ship, the Odyssey. Power Moons are required to do this.
The goal then, is to collect enough Power Moons to upgrade the Odyssey to travel to the next kingdom. These Power Moons are scattered all over each kingdom, and there's no required order in which to collect them.
The game starts off quite easy and gives you plenty of time to explore at your leisure. This makes completing the game relatively easy, and I found I finished the story without too much difficulty as only 124 moons are required to complete the story. However, there are a total of 880 unique Power Moons waiting to be discovered. (During the course of the story, a second set of Power Moons are unlocked.) The post-story gameplay of finding and collecting Power Moons kept me playing for many more hours. Some of these moons are quite challenging to collect!

Fantastic game, loads of stuff to collect and plenty challenging enough for a quick run through an area. Good laughs and set design on each planet along with costume changes that are purely cosmetic (unless you're unlocking further progress, but still.) Not recommended to play on a switch lite due to the joycon twirls being pretty useful but it can be done.

Mario Odyssey is a game that particularly fits well with the Switch's handheld nature because you're constantly being rewarded with moons and other collectibles throughout your journey. Most other Mario games have their missions built with longer sessions in mind (which I personally prefer), but there is definitely merit in the way this game is structured. The movement options are fluid, the bosses are well designed, and the capture mechanic helps set Odyssey apart from the other 3D Mario games. If you're looking to get someone into 3D platformers, Odyssey is a great entry to start with.

I just recently got a Switch, and of course Odyssey at among the games at the top of my list to get! I haven't played any Mario games since Mario 64. Like most people, that game holds a special place in my heart, and I was curious about this new current-gen Mario game. So far, it does not fail! It is a ton of fun, the right amount of quirky, and super easy to pick up and go!

This one doesn't disappoint. The depth of the game is found in that the after-game (after having beaten Bowser) is even more involved and deep than the main game. So many things to do, various minigames. It's quite fun.
