Customer Ratings & Reviews

Super Mario Odyssey is an excellent game for the Nintendo Switch. It’s one of the few, and best, games that really utilizes the most performance out of this game system. There are literally hundreds of hours you can put into the game combined with the story mode and extras. Highly recommend purchasing and keeping in the long run if you have a Nintendo Switch. It’s already a classic in my library that I will go back to every so often whenever I have some free time to game.

If you like Mario, then buy this game. Just stop reading here and get it. Super Mario Odyssey recaptures the magic of Super Mario in surprising new ways. It brings with it a return to the game play of Mario 64, wherein the world is explored instead of completed. (Unlike Mario 64, the level doesn't end when you obtain a Power Moon; you can keep playing.) In traditional Mario-style, Peach is yet again kidnapped by Bowser, who is planning a wedding to marry her! Mario tries to stop him, but is beaten back to the Cap Kingdom. Mario meets a local, Cappy, whose girlfriend (a tiara) is worn by Princess Peach. Together they begin their journey. to save their respective sweathearts. Cappy is with Mario throughout the game. He can be thrown horizontally, vertically, and even in a circle! He serves as an attack, a way to collect coins, to deflect or destroy projectiles, to act as a platform, and to capture enemies! This final technique provides the most variety for the game, as Mario essentially becomes the captured creature/enemy! Mario can capture a LOT of characters from frogs, to turtles, to fish, to Bullet Bills! In order to go from one Kingdom to the next they find and repair their hat-shaped ship, the Odyssey. Power Moons are required to do this. The goal then, is to collect enough Power Moons to upgrade the Odyssey to travel to the next kingdom. These Power Moons are scattered all over each kingdom, and there's no required order in which to collect them. The game starts off quite easy and gives you plenty of time to explore at your leisure. This makes completing the game relatively easy, and I found I finished the story without too much difficulty as only 124 moons are required to complete the story. However, there are a total of 880 unique Power Moons waiting to be discovered. (During the course of the story, a second set of Power Moons are unlocked.) The post-story gameplay of finding and collecting Power Moons kept me playing for many more hours. Some of these moons are quite challenging to collect!

Overall, I enjoyed this traveling adventure with Mario. Most of the worlds were interesting, the game-play was fun, and there were plenty of things to collect for those of us who enjoy such a thing. There were a few things that detracted from my enjoyment though, hence the not-perfect score. While I was able to finish the game, some platforming needed to get optional collectables needed absolute perfect timing (and I am well-past my twitch-reflex prime). Also, some of Mario's moves require motion controls, so if you are using a PowerA or similar controller, these will not be possible. Then there is the Luncheon Kingdom, which I gave up on moon collecting quickly for because of the frikin' lava. So, overall a good game, but you might want to tear your hair out if you try to go for 100% of collectibles.

Game was fun and has plenty of replay value. Reminds me of the first time I played Mario 64 when that first came out.

With Sunshine and the Mario Galaxy games, the mission structure of getting each star was very linear. With this game, it goes back to the open sandbox style of gameplay of Mario 64 where you can tackle almost any moon (star) in the area. There's a lot more freedom playing like that. Plus, there are all sorts of advanced tricks and techniques for the advanced player. Absolutely highly recommended as this game will definitely end up in a hall of fame one day. It's that amazing.

10/10 game. Super fun game! It can be single player or 2 player. Its actually kinda fun with 2p. Get the game!!!!!

Dope game, my nephew loves it! We finished the game in a few days lol thanks to covid

My wife and I have a lot of fun playing this together. It looks fantastic graphic wise and has a lot of neat quirks.

Funnest game I’ve ever played, very pretty worlds, tons to explore, highly recommended, you’ll have a great time!

IS the best game and the delivery was really fast!!

We still play Mario on our Super Nintendo. This is an amazing game with an open world concept and great graphics.

Great graphics and fun game play. Multiple players can play at once. Kids play at home and on the go.

Kids and I have been having a lot of fun playing this game. In fact, we finished the main story and are going back to get as many missing "moons" as we can. As the dad I enjoy playing as Cappy helping the kids who play as Mario. Great puzzles and not punishing if you make mistakes as it only costs you ten coins to be back in the action (does not have the traditional number of lives...as long as you have coins you are back an unlimited number of times). Highly recommend!

Very fun. Can get a bit boring at times, but ultimately pure fun.

Definitely one of the best Mario games to date. I could not stop playing it the 1st day I got it. It is so much fun

I remember the feeling of playing Mario Bros for the first time on the NES. Getting Yoshi in Super Mario. Loading Mario 64 and thinking the 3D world was incredible. Mario Odyssey gives the same sensation. The gameplay is great, graphics are beautiful and the game is clever. Motion Controls are unfortunately necessary but hardly detract from the experience. I've only put in a few hours so far but I'm excited to put in more time. This game will be a classic. It's obvious.

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 took me a couple worlds to really "get into" the game, but once I did it became seriously addictive. The semi-open-world style of being able to go after moons in any order and collect one after another without having to return to the level's start point each time is a welcome change to the Mario franchise. I also love that the game is instantly accessible to new players, yet seasoned gamers have found ways to make it super-challenging (speed runs, crazy jumps, etc).

Great Mario game wether you are new to Nintendo or returning. The open worlds are nice and the graphics are good.

Super fun game! Me and my wife have been loving it!
