Customer Ratings & Reviews

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.

Love this game , so much fun I would highly recommend!!!

The Positives: + Great visuals that run beautifully + Fantastic and imaginative mechanics + Wonderful, catchy soundtrack + Level design is great and creative + The controls are outstanding... The Drawbacks: - ...though some require or are improved by motion control, which can be annoying - Speaking of annoying, the Broodals....just, the Broodals. - A large portion of the game may not present much of a challenge to the experienced Mario player Overview: Honestly, other than some small things, Super Mario Odyssey is an absolutely outstanding game. A must have game for fans of the plumber!

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.

Mario Odyssey is an excellent Mario title! Nintendo proves once again that you don't need top tier graphics to make an exciting and beautiful game. Every location you visit is gorgeous in its own way. The game's use of textures really make every little detail pop out at you. The platforming in the game is the best yet. The controls are tight and collectibles are challenging to obtain at times. You can play the game how you would like to play it. If you just want to beat the game and do the minimum, you're able to, but if you really want to take the time to find every nook and cranny, the game rewards you for that. I can't rave enough about this game. It's very open and, while some locations are linear, you often pick you own path and methods of getting to your destination.

Great game, alot of fun. My 9 year old son loves it.

Being a fan of all other 3D Mario games, this definitely meets all expectations and is very fun! Finding Power Moons is extremely satisfying and a fun way to explore all of the environments and learn game mechanics!

I have completed this game and yet still play it at least a few times a week. I have been an avid Nintendo gamer since long ago, NES and SNES were my first two systems as a kid and left a place in my heart for the world of Mario. My wife plays this game and has never played video games before in her life and is still able to complete the levels (granted a bit slower than I) and enjoys the game despite the frustration that comes with some of the more difficult puzzles/levels. Highly recommend the switch JUST FOR THIS GAME if you are a nintendo cast fan or just need a fun game that is story driven with fun side-quests and customization. This game really brings back memories of Super Mario 64 and Super Mario Sunshine, my two personal favorite Mario games.

Super Mario Odyssey is a stunning platformer, and a welcome return to the more open, exploration style of past classics like Super Mario 64 and Sunshine. There are so many great surprises and secrets in the game, and I’m not even close to being finished with the game yet. The soundtrack and visuals are wonderful, the former being among my favorite game soundtracks already. It is a very hard choice for me between this game and Breath of the Wild for GOTY, as I’m sure it will be for many people and media outlets. While ultimately I think Breath of the Wild will be GOTY for me, Odyssey comes awfully close. Quite simply, Odyssey is the best Mario game at least since the Galaxy games, and it’s on its way to surpassing them as my favorite 3D Mario game ever.

Got this for my son for his Switch! I grew up playing Mario and he loves it too! The game is fun to play and has all the same Mario characters you know and love with the addition of new themes, characters, and missions.

When I first started to play Mario Odyssey, it took me a while to figure out the controls and as with other Mario games my goal was to beat the game. The journey was wonderful with so many surprises and beautiful 3D and 2D worlds. Beating the game is not very hard, the journey is all smiles. After getting to the end, I took a short break and then a month later started it up again. I was very much surprised by home much fun I was having discovering more and more moons and revisiting kingdoms. With every new moon I was having more and more fun and I am still loving every moment. There are still plenty of moons for me to find and the game difficulty is ramping up and when you are able to finally go though a tough part, it is so satisfying.

Love this game....has both a classic and new Mario feel all in one. Plays flawlessly, and the new mechanic of cap possession to accomplish many goals is a fun twist! Many might complain that the game is too easy..and on its face value that may be true. If you only collect enough moons to move on you will breese through the game. But if want a challenge push yourself to try to find and then collect tha 900+ moons in the game! This is a way for the game to scale in difficulty without most people noticing, my daughter collects as many as she can and is having a blast. While I push to collect them all as a long time Mario vet and I am having just a much fun! I highly recommend this game for those looking for flawless platforming fun.

I bought it in digital version and it was quick; I had no problems at all. I received the email with the code to redeem it and entered it on my Nintendo Switch 2.

This game is absolutely fantastic. Everything about it is a joy. The worlds are expansive and varied, the sound track is spot on, and the amount of content is excessive. There is a crazy amount of power moons to collect while playing through the game, and the number doubles once you hit post game and further content is unlocked. The hat mechanism in the game is easy to pick up but also hard to master allowing for a lot of individual player skill growth until the player is able to pull off things that you would not even think possible when you first start playing. There are hidden things all over the stages, and the variety of gameplay presented with the possession mechanism is awesome. Highly recommend this game.

Really a blast to play and I usually don't enjoy platformers. Played this with my young daughter, who had so much fun. Great time!

Super Mario Odyssey has been a huge hit for my 4 year old. The colorful worlds and fun characters keep him completely engaged, and the gameplay is easy enough for him to enjoy while still offering plenty to explore. He loves discovering new areas, collecting moons, and jumping into each new adventure. It is fun, imaginative, and perfect for young players. Seeing how excited he gets every time he plays makes it worth every penny.

A must have for switch owners. Its lost its difficulty factor from the past marios. But its still a fun game. Beautiful level and finding the moons makes it challenging if you dont use toad or the amiibos.

Super Mario Odyssey is a joyful masterpiece that redefines 3D platforming. Bursting with creativity, its vibrant kingdoms brim with clever challenges, hidden secrets, and delightful surprises. Mario’s new pal, Cappy, adds innovative mechanics, making every capture a blast. The visuals pop, the soundtrack soars, and the gameplay is pure, polished fun. A must-play for Switch owners!

This is the perfect game for kids learning to play video games! My son is 6 years old and just started getting into video games. It is hard for them to navigate a joystick. He and I would play, I would play as Mario and he would play as Cappy. This helped him learn to navigate using a joystick effectively. The game is very fun! Using Cappy to take control of different enemies is a unique game experience that adds variety. The "open world" concept is cool for a Mario game! The only con I can think of is that the camera angle can be frustrating, but that's a minor complaint.

Absolutely the best hat-based Mario game ever made.
