Customer Ratings & Reviews

I'm a HUGE Mario fan and I have to say that this game is extremely fun. I like how challenging it is and how it's a mix between the old games and completely new. The way you can go between being in a 3D world to being in a 2D world is fun and makes me reminisce back. Obviously the graphics are awesome and overall game quality is what you'd expect for a game made in this time period. I enjoy the fact that you can play it 2 player and the dynamic in how you play it is different. 1 player is Mario and the other player is his hat. You'd think that wouldn't be as fun but it honestly is. It's an important rule. (similar to how Diddy and Donkey Kong are). 10/10 would recommend this game to new and existing Mario fans.

Such a great game with so much replayability. Mario games like this are great for all ages.

Mario Odyssey brings back the nostalgia and enjoyment of the previous mario games and mixes in the new generation of gameplay the Switch has to offer. You can play this on the go, or plug it into the stand and play it at home on your tv. The controls and gameplay are reminiscent of the 64 version of the game. Graphics are smooth and silky, especially in the Metro City Stage where it looks like Mario is ina place like New York. Story wise, it’s the same song where Bowser kidnaps the princess and Mario needs to save her as always. The game can be finished in about 8-10 hours, but there’s a lot of exploration that can be done. If you’ve been a fan of the series, this is a must play.

The game is all that I expected and more. It is very well done and polished. Both in Handheld and docked modes the game plays flawlessly and have not experienced any frame rate drops. For all of those that complain about the graphics are just hating on the game. The game is beautiful with all kinds of stuff to observe. While it may not take a large amount of time to get through a board, there are all kinds of areas to explore as well as items to get. Maybe you can get through the game in a few hours, but I have spent more than 20 hours solving puzzles and completing tasks. Don't listen to the haters, if you have a Switch it is a must buy, well if you are into Mario games.

This game is absolutely worth the money, its so fun to play, and the graphics and movement controls are just in sync with the game, and the design of the boss fights and other special currencies just make the game wonderful. I would recommend this game as 2 player.

It is an amazing game, looks great on Switch2 and it really fun to play with the family

Great game, easy for everyone to use.But hard to master

Stunning Visuals, Amazing Performance and an overall blast! This is Mario in its prime. The story is captivating and has a nostalgic and modern feel at the same time. The new mechanics give the Mario franchise a breath of fresh air, hours of fun for players of any age!

Clearly one of the best Switch games available. Arguably the best 3D Mario game ever made. Platforming feels clean and precise. The game is content rich and filled with plenty of platforming variety. Buying digital from Best Buy is incredibly easy. Get the code from your app and then input into the eShop website. Download should hit your Switch instantly.

I bought this for my nephew before getting it myself. I was hooked! This game makes you think, logically thinking as well as experimenting different ways to explore. I beat the entire game in 1 week. But this was just that, completing the game is much longer as there are many stars in each world that needs to be found and some are very well hidden. If you like adventure game and if like me you grew up with Mario 64- then you will enjoy this game.

An amazing game from start to finish. Super Mario Odyssey has beautiful worlds, creative challenges, and hours of gameplay. Capturing enemies adds a unique twist that keeps the game fun and engaging. One of the best Mario games ever made.

Bought Super Mario Odyssey as a digital download from Best Buy and the experience was great. The code was delivered quickly and redeemed with no issues on my Switch. Super convenient not having to wait for shipping, and the price was solid. Game itself is amazing as always. Would definitely buy digital games from Best Buy again.

Lat time I played a Mario game was in N64. Then I switch to PS2 and just came back for switch. This game is phenomenal. I thought I will get bored instantly but can't stop playing it. With backwards compatibility we're fortunate to be able to playing on switch 2 too. Very chill game, it's a must to decompress after a long day.

I bought the Switch specifically for this game and it was worth every penny. I'm about 10 hours into the gameplay, but from what I've seen so far this will be a classic that sits well beside the previous Galaxy entries. The visuals are stunning, music beautiful and gameplay solid like usual. This game is more of an open world and less linear than the galaxy games which I like as it encourages exploration. A lot of new & exciting twists and turns in the Mario formula that I won't spoil. Totally worth buying a switch for. Enjoy!

Mario’s latest adventure on the Nintendo Switch delivers vibrant worlds, tight controls, and charming gameplay. Its level design balances creativity and challenge, keeping players engaged from start to finish. With polished visuals, memorable music, and smooth performance, it captures the classic Mario magic while feeling fresh and fun for all ages.

Mario's been around for over 30 years, and it's equal parts shocking and amazing to see how well he's doing. Super Mario Odyssey is a culmination of everything that makes Mario, and Nintendo, great. It's a game that anyone from 1 to 99 years old could enjoy, especially with the new Assist Mode that helps younger plays know where to go next, and it's also something new gamers and experienced games can enjoy alike. The gameplay is blissful perfection, with extremely unique levels that are fun to play around in and explore with tight controls. The kinds of moves you can pull off allow you to play the game in infinitely more ways than intended. This is all done with Mario's new trusty companion, Cappy. Cappy is essentially Mario's sentient hat. You can throw him in any direction to "cap"ture enemies, jump higher or farther, or break boxes and question blocks. There are also so many ways to play the game. Interested in motion controls? Try holding both JoyCons controllers separately. You can throw Cappy with a flick of the wrist. Want to play with a more traditional control style? Try putting both JoyCons on the included Grip, or buy the Pro Controller (my personal recommendation). Every control style includes HD Rumble, which makes the rumbles in-game feel very realistic in your hands, and Gyro aiming, which means you just have to move the controller around to aim (there's an option to turn this off if you'd like, I think Zelda and Splatoon do Gyro better). The story is also really good. You may think it's nothing more than Bowser kidnapping Peach, and technically you're right, but there are so many specific moments within the game that I'd highly recommend not spoiling for yourself. Graphically the game is stunning. Even though it only runs at 900p, the art style really works in its favor. I've played this game on a 55' 4K TV and it's one of the best things I've seen on there. You can actually see the individual hair's in Mario's mustache! If you own a Nintendo Switch, you owe it to yourself to get this game. It takes advantage of all the Switch hardware has to offer, it's extremely fun to play with all its unique levels and tight controls, and it has a pretty solid story for a Mario game. It lives up to all the hype surrounding it, and it's highly recommended.

Great 3D Mario game. Beautiful graphics, with a great platforming mechanics, and great music tracks, that could* easily stand up next to Mario 64, and Super Mario Sunshine. *I say could because I only really have two gripes with the game. First is how short it is Story wise. I understand its a Mario game, and it can be hard to stretch out a story of rescuing a princess. Super Mario Odyssey just seems way shorter than expected. I was able to beat the story in about a day, only getting the bare minimum needed to move on to the next area. The second is the lack of variety with the bosses. You're introduced to the only 5 bosses you'll ever fight within the first few worlds, and then those 5 bosses are just re-used over and over for the rest of the story. Mechanics for these bosses don't really change either. they just add more things to dodge. Its for these reasons, I feel its not quite as memorable as Super Mario 64, or Super Mario Sunshine, but It's still a wonderful game, filled with nostalgia for old time fans, as well as a bunch of cool new content for new fans. All in all its a great game, just wish it was longer with a larger boss variety.

As a long-time fan of Nintendo games in general, and 3d Mario platformers specifically, I can say without hesitation that Super Mario Odyssey is my favorite so far. The controls and camera are exceptional. The motion controls provide a great supplement to the standard controls, and provide new abilities. I also never had to fight the camera, or take a "leap of faith". As for the level design, Odyssey turns to a more Super Mario 64 style of levels. The levels are large for a Mario title, and a have a mini-"Open World" aspect to them. Unlike Super Mario 64, there is no hub-world, so you travel between levels directly.. Each level has its own unique style, and is pure joy to explore. Behind virtually every corner are some coins, or a power moon, or some kind of Easter egg. Power Moons can be collected one after another, without losing your place, or being sent to the beginning of the level. Some are cleverly hidden, others unlocked by solving a puzzle, obtained by beating a boss, and half-a-dozen other different ways. You will likely find it a challenge to collect all of them. Hints are offered, but not foisted on you. Amiibo can help locate power moons, and the Odyssey amiibo offer particularly special benefits. No amiibo are required, however, to fully enjoy the game. It should be said that it is not a difficult game, nor is it intended to be. There is no level with punishing difficulty, and the boss fights are underpowered and even repetitive. Death's only penalty is a loss of a few coins. In my opinion, the ease of the boss fights do not ultimately take away from the supremely enjoyable experience of the rest of the game. However, some might be turned off by this lack of difficulty. If you are one who plays games for the innate challenge, I would recommend trying this out before buying, if possible. Challenge can be sought out, as a sort of aside from the main game. The controls and abilities of Mario in this title offer more than I've seen in previous titles, and virtually beg those with the skill to push them to the limits. Overall, I highly recommend this game to Switch owners. It is a fantastic platformer, with something in it for everyone. It hints and nods at nostalgia, but never relies on it. New gamers will be challenged to learn 3d platforming, but should find the learning curve to be a gentle slope, with rewards every step of the way. Experienced, and even expert gamers will find the level design to be varied, and a blast to explore. This is one title that will likely be in the libraries of almost every Switch owner.

Great game, bought for my family. Kids and wife love it. I love it because its a spiritual successor to Mario 64 and for us old jeads that was the pinnacle of next gen gaming. This brings back memories but also stands on its own merits besides nostalgia.

Super Mario Odyssey is a joyful, imaginative platformer that consistently rewards exploration and creativity. The fluid movement, inventive kingdoms, and clever capture mechanic make every moment engaging. It is a polished, charming experience that stands among the best Mario games ever made.
