Customer Ratings & Reviews

This game is a must have. From the start, this game is a delight - you'll be glued to the game, smile on face. There are parts of Mario that are very familiar - collect Moons, get to Bowser so on and on. The twist here is the constant change in game mechanics - you become a frog, become a tank, become a Cheep Cheep (the jumping fish, remember?) and even go 2D. It's like a collection of mini-games, but without feeling disconnected or jarring. Run, don't walk.

This game is so much fun for the whole family! Very good for kids getting used to the Nintendo switch.

I remember when I first played N64, seeing mario in 3d for the first time and the wonder it brought. This gave me the same feeling for the first time in a long time. Other 3d Marios have been excellent in their own right, but Galaxy's incredible control scheme frees Mario to explore without fighting against the controller or camera. The amount of content is also spectacular, and is only increasing with additional downloads that Nintendo's releasing.

Mario oddessy is so much fun for all ages and easy to play and fast to learn! I absolutely love this game.

Mario has been extremely successful for so long thanks to its fantastic vibrant worlds, memorable level design, and charismatic characters. Having Mario return to a sandbox style game for the first time in 15 years is reinvigorating and something I've personally been waiting for for a very, very long time. Between this and Breath of the Wild, Nintendo will undoubtedly be fighting themselves for Game of the Year, and possibly game of this console generation.

It took me a moment to post a review because the first thing I did was start the download and jump into the game. I never flipped it, and it was the perfect time to pick it up. ^_^

You like Mario - you know you do. Maybe the stories, the old 2d versions, the open world versions, the gimmicks that were introduced to make a new one just a bit different than the last, maybe you like the puzzles or even hunting down every last <something>. This game has it - yes ALL of that. You are looking at this wondering if you need another Mario game, or if this will be as much fun as <insert mario game name here>. You do and it will be!

Totally love this game. Best Mario game ever so far. Definitely fun for everyone in this game and tons to do.

Fun game. Very cool graphics. Also very family friendly. A bit pricey.

Fun single and co-opt game. I thought the co-opt game would be limited due to the "half" joystick but was pleasantly surprised to find that even with the minimal half-joystick method, the two of us were able to carry out complex activities. And the game itself is fun and modifies its level of difficulty if the players (newbies like us) are having difficulty. Highly entertaining.

Mario odyssey is one of the best games in switch. It’s one of the best mario games period. 70+ hours of fun.

Loved this game! I play it in co-op mode with my BF and was so nice!

Fun game. Not overly difficult but not simplistic. Just some mindless fun

Great game but it feels like someone took Mario and recreated it into another game with mostly the same idea ,so it feels like there stretching to try and make a newer better game but getting away from what’s already great about the Mario games, there are some really cool new things about the game that are great but there are things that alienate you from it being a Mario game that just don’t feel like they belong , is it worth buying definitely ,but it will hit you with nostalgia and make question what the creators were thinking when putting the game together..

This game is a must-have! reminds a lot of the nintendo 64 version. Get to roam around and explore the world!

I bought this because it was on sale and I had rewards points about to expire. My son played through the game and I asked him what he thought. His response was overwhelmingly positive and he said, “I’d have paid $60 for this game… why did we wait so long to buy it?” Absolutely fun game that is a great spiritual successor to Super Mario 64.

It's a Mario game, but it is very fun and can be challenging. But totally worth it. If you are a fan of Mario, you will be a fan of this game! The best part (so far) has been the character takeovers when you use the hat on enemies. Haven't played two player yet, so I can't give an opinion on that. And the other switch game that I own is breath of the wild so it's a good game to swap between if you need a mental break from either if your stuck on a quest.

For any fan of the series, I would absolutely recommend this game. If you prefer a more linear game, I might suggest trying Mario galaxy, but for anyone else, this is a must buy. The new hat mechanics are a welcomed edition and the graphics are phenomenal. While the game can be enjoyable alone, I would suggest playing through it with a friend because it’s an experience worth sharing. Regardless however, any switch owner should give this game a shot.

Been a while since a good Mario game came out. Good graphics. Long story. Fun to play with others.

This is one of those games that everyone should get on the Switch. If you're a SMB fan, and don't get this, then you are missing a LOT! Mario's hat used as a weapon, lots of new moves, and it's the first open-world Mario game! Some people may not like that, as taking the rails off this genre may not feel right. I suggest watching a few letsplay videos, just to make sure. One warning - it's addicting!!! :)
