It’s always a treat to find a suprise 2D section too, where Mario reverts to his pixelated form for a time. Like most Super Mario games, they’re locked behind various activities, including platforming sections, timed runs, Koopa races, an assortment of puzzles or merely just donning the right costume to unlock a secret area.
The main collectible in the game, Power Moons, are required to fuel your ship and keep you progressing through the game. And they’re not taxing in the first place, which makes you feel like progressing through the story isn’t exactly a chore.
There are only four of them, so prepare yourself for repeated battles that only get incrementally harder each time. Bowser isn’t doing all of this alone, and he’s enlisted help from a set of well-dressed rabbits known as Broodals, who’ll try and stop you from getting to the next Kingdom. How Nintendo took the Switch from unproven underdog to king of the Christmas line-up, in under a yearīut you won’t feel that frustration when fighting the bosses. Bowser’s stealing something precious from each one and you’re going to follow him. And that’s where the idea of the Kingdoms comes in. To get all that though, he’s got to travel to the places where they’ve got the best of the best. The best dress, the biggest diamond ring, the rarest flowers, the most delicious food etc and so on. But for this wedding of the century, he’s got to have the best of everything. Especially when paired with watching our favourite plumber (or is that former plumber?) lying face down, unconscious in the most monochrome world the Super Mario series has probably ever seen.īowser’s got this idea in his head, you see, that he and Peach are going to get married - whether she likes it or not. It might be the set-up for the entire game, but I wasn’t quite prepared for the amount of emotional anguish it would cause me. It’s in these first few minutes that you have to watch Mario’s trademark flatcap get turned into hamster bedding in the propellers of Bowser’s massive airship. The opening moments of Super Mario Odyssey though are rife with the feels - and not just with my anger over the whole Peach thing.
