Customer Ratings & Reviews

Super Mario Odyssey has outstanding game play, story and graphics. The addition of Cappy makes for a new style of game play with plenty of new capabilities. The kingdoms are huge and offer a lot of things to collect such as power moons ,regional coins, outfits and souvenirs. You power up the Odyssey by collecting a minimum number of power moons that allow you to travel. between kingdoms. Each kingdom has plenty of power moons to collect in plain sight while others are hidden or you complete a task or activity. Some warp pipes and doors lead to game fields that range in difficulty. I like that I could decide which I would want to play without sacrificing progress or advancing in the game. This is unlike other Mario games were you could get stuck on a level or not have enough stars to continue beyond. There is even more game play after you defeat Bowser (and it is a lot more relaxing).

Super Mario 64 translated an iconic 2D platformer into a 3D world and redefined what a Nintendo experience could be. Super Mario Odyssey takes that a step further, playing around with the concept of an open world (albeit less so than, say, Skyrim or Breath of the Wild) where Mario can discover power moons just in the course of messing around. Yes, there are mini-bosses to fight; yes, there are puzzles to solve and secrets to discover; but there have also been times when I've gone "I wonder what would happen if I..." and have been rewarded for it. Not because there's a puzzle to solve, but because Odyssey rewards exploration and experimentation in a way no Mario game I've previously played has. I've immensely enjoyed every Mario title since Super Mario World in 1990, so I don't say this idly: Odyssey is the most fun I've ever had with Mario.

Bought this game for my 10 year old son. He loves it and so does the rest of the family. Game is top tier!

I skipped the Switch but got the Switch 2 on the first day and after playing Tears of the Kingdom this was my number 2 in the list and what a beautiful experience, this is probably the best 3D Mario to the date. A lot of new mechanics combined with nostalgia from the NES, SNES, and N64 era make it perfect. SPOILER ALERT.................. the mushroom kingdom right in the childhood and the post-ending the story gameplay is like another game or a DLC. 10/10 no doubt about it.

Fun Switch game for a 5 yr old! Kept him entertained and was easy enough for him to figure out on his own.

I have always been a fan of Mario games. I've purchased most of them. I have to say this game is awesome. I like that it has more of an open world field with things to explore. Coming from playing Zelda, this game was pretty easy to beat in comparison. Our first run through we were able to beat it with minimal "moons." Then you are able to go back to the worlds and find more moons, and do more challenges. Honestly that's one of my favorite parts because it reminds me of Zelda just a tad. We were adults playing it, with that said, I think it would be challenging for children not used to these games, and a lot of fun. If they have played other Mario Games it will have a similar feel with the controller. We only have tried 2P more once. Both of us didn't like it. I can see cool aspects to it if you get used to it, but it was more annoying for us than helpful.

Very fun game with a equally fun concept. It's definitely Mario 64-esque (which, spoiler alert, this game pays ode to). The only thing I would say is the ease of this game. I finished the story pretty quickly. Other than that, a great game nonetheless.

Great game. Easy to set up. My son loves the game

I had a big expectancy for this one. After playing Zelda Breath of the Wild, I was hoping for a big revolution with Mario formula. Mario Odissey wasn't this revolution. It was Nintendo going back to the platformers of the 90s (Banjo KAzooie or Mario 64) with a big bang. And they did a spetacular job. Graphics, music, gameplay. Actually, this is the best controlling Mario ever. It's a bliss to control Mario. My big grip is that Mario Galaxy had a better story and pace. The pace in this game is broken in my opinion. Some time you are going like crazy, than you stop everything to do another map which pace is much slower. And you don't get nothing to prepare yourself for this change. A simple letter from Peach telling something would do wonders. Anyway, I recommend it. It's pretty good, but not amazing 10. Amazing 9.5 is more real.

I have been waiting for this game for a long time and it was definitely worth the wait! This game is so addictive and fun. The controls are great, it looks beautiful, plus I got a free Mario coin for preordering at Best Buy. I am a happy customer!

One of the best 3D mario games out there even after this many years out

This game feels and plays like Mario 64, I love the open world and controls. The hat is so much fun and gives alot of added abilities Mario can do. I love searching for all the hidden moons and purchasing the outfits. This game is a must have !!

I came to this game with lower expectations, i wasn't a huge fan of the previous 3D Mario game. My wife really wanted this one so I got it in order to play with her (which really means, she'll watch as I play the game). I was very happily surprised as to how the game turned out. I was pretty immersed in gameplay and the level design was pretty perfect for my style of gaming. There were some easy challenges, mid level ones, as well as more difficult ones for those seeking more challenging gameplay. There are a plethora of moons to find in the game, and pretty unique kingdoms to explore. The new hat mechanics are a welcome addition to gameplay as well as it freshens up a well beloved franchise which has seen many iterations over time. We had tons of fun with Super Mario Odyssey, and there is still a lot left to do in post game.

Great game!! Kids instantly loved it. Hard to pull them away from playing.

Super Mario Odyssey for the Nintendo Switch is a must-play masterpiece. Its innovative "capture" mechanic, using Mario's hat Cappy to control enemies and objects, injects incredible creativity into gameplay and exploration. The diverse and vibrant kingdoms are packed with secrets and collectibles, encouraging you to explore every nook and cranny. While the sheer number of collectibles can feel a bit much at times, the core gameplay is polished, joyful, and constantly surprising. Odyssey is a triumphant reinvention of the 3D Mario formula and a delightful adventure from start to finish.

Even if you’ve played this game years ago or are just picking it up now, Mario Odyssey is by FA the best 3D Mario game out. Best Buy made this purchase easy and the delivery went without a hitch.

Great game,,I really enjoyed fun and still my favorite, Great game for Mario fans.

Super Mario Odyssey is the latest anticipated 3D platformer from Nintendo that lives up to the Mario series' lofty expectations. The game rolls all the positives of the series together in an excellent blend of platforming fun. There are multiple large worlds to explore with dozens of collectables items in each of them. You'll want to keep exploring these levels with the smooth controls the game gives you in the form of multiple types of walks, runs, jumps, and, thanks to your newest sidekick Cappy, transformations. There's plenty of new things to discover in the game even after you beat the story, making Super Mario Odyssey an easy recommendation. This game really is a must-have for owners of the Switch and both longtime Mario fans and newcomers.

This game is great! I actuslly have missed out on a lot of mario games but coming back into the games after getting a switch is definitely a great experience for me. Definitely would recommend for anyone with a switch.

Haven't been in awe of a game since Super Mario 64 when I was a kid. Over 20 years later and now I'm a kid - again. The controls and feel of the game are familiar and tight, but throw in some new concepts like captures (gaining control of a creature lets you use their abilities) and the double hat jump and I can't look at past Mario games the same way. The best part is that this game is so much more open. Instead of getting a star and having to restart to level, you collect power moons and when you pick one up gameplay continues right from that spot. There are 800 moons to collect so you're definitely getting your money's worth. If you enjoy video games at all, particularly platformers, you should own this game. And yes you should buy a Switch for it.
