Customer Ratings & Reviews

Over the years, I’ve spent more time playing Super Mario Bros than probably any other game I own. The classsic NES Game has been my go to and from time to time, I still find something new. I’ve been trying to beat the speed record for as long as I can remember and it’s still just as much fun today as it was the first time I played it. Now comes along Odyssey. This game is by far as much fun to play and enjoyable as Super Mario Bros. The graphics and sound are spot on, the gameplay is smooth and I’ve been addicted to it the above other great games out right now because of the fun factor it delivers. The kids are hooked and enjoy the modern feel it brings. I highly recommend this to anybody who remembers the old days. You won’t be disappointed.

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.

One of the best games on the Switch, hands down. The levels are creative, the graphics are vibrant, and the gameplay is pure fun. Whether you are a kid or an adult, you will enjoy this. The physical copy arrived quickly from Best Buy, sealed and in perfect condition.

Super Mario Odyssey on the Nintendo Switch is phenomenal. The graphics are crisp, the character animations are fluid, and the game runs at a consistent 60 frames per second. The new gameplay mechanic of using your hat as a weapon and temporarily possessing NPC's to creatively reach goals is very fun. Being awarded Power Moons for your efforts and the little animation that Mario does never gets old. The only gripe I have is that while not "required", some moves can only be done with the JoyCons removed and in your hands a-la Wiimotes. This makes portable play in handheld mode a bit more challenging, but it's still a blast. A definite must-have for any Mario fan and really anyone who owns a Nintendo Switch.

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.

Super Mario Odyssey represents a return to the classic exploration style Mario platformers like Mario 64 and Mario Sunshine, with the key improvement that completing challenges doesn't kick you back to a hub (though the major plot oriented ones do put you back at the entrance to the level). There's lots to see and do and each themed "Kingdom" is distinct with unique mechanics and inhabitants. There's dozens of challenges in each level (typically 50+) many of which require a combination of thoughtful exploration, puzzle solving and some quick reflexes. If the recent 3D Mario platforming games seemed too linear and you've been missing the open world style gameplay, this is the game you've been waiting for.

Great story, great graphics, great gameplay, definitely has a lot of replay value, this game is just so much fun to play! 2 player is fun with someone who might not be great at video games

After so many years and so many Super Mario games the possibility of the game becoming stale is a real possibility. Once again though Nintendo manages to deliver another great game with the latest outing for Mario. It is great new adventure and technical improvements with elements of older Mario games throughout that bring back great memories and feelings from the past. From the soundtrack to the game play old emotions will bubble to the surface. Even some of the frustration you hated. Thankfully they have included a mode to help get past some of the more difficult parts because i know my reflexes aren't getting better with age. A great game and necessary addition to the growing Switch library.

Visually, this is the best the series has ever looked, while the gameplay feels like it's based off of the best parts of Mario 64. While each level has a clearly marked main goal, they're made to lure you off course, letting you go after whatever catches your eye. The main story is designed to be fun for people of any skill level (there is a very helpful Assist Mode that you can use at any time if you're not sure what to do), but the later challenges push you to learn all of Mario's abilities. In particular, if you can learn to use the triple-jump-and-dive-bounce then you can leap across massive gaps or scale almost any wall. If you have a Switch, get this game.

The game is everything! It is so much fun for all ages! The process of buying online then picking up in the store was flawless and truly a time saver bc the line was wrapped around the store.

I'm new to the Switch and picked this up to relive Super Mario 64 nostalgia and Odyssey did not disappoint. It's a fun story and lots of exploring to do for completionist. I also really enjoy that there is a co-op mode.

I have always been a huge Nintendo fan when it comes to gaming. Super Mario games are usually among my favorites, from SMB3 on NES, SM64, SMGalaxy, etc. Odyssey has met and probably exceeded my expectations. The game play and mechanics are flawless (imo) and there are plenty of kingdoms/levels to play through with tons of hidden extras to keep you busy. Yesterday I became nervous when I thought that I was getting close to beating the game and that my fun would be cut short, but I checked online and realized that I was only about half way through! I will definitely be replaying this game multiple times in the future. Thank you NINTENDO!

AMAZING GAME! Great open-world experience and amazing gameplay. The only downside is that the story is a little short.

I bought this game remembering how great Mario 64 was, and oh boy did it not disappoint. This game is so much fun I haven't stopped playing every time I have a chance. The new hat mechanics are really fun and add something fresh and new to the Mario series without it feeling weird or out of place. This game as more stars (or power moons as they call it) than you can imagine, with more puzzles and hidden passages and mysteries than you can solve in one play through. I'm almost done with the main story, but I can already tell it will be really fun to go back to all the levels and finding every single power moon. I highly recommend it!

This game is beautifully detailed. The aesthetics to how Mario interacts with the worlds is nothing short of amazing. Story is again very simple where Peach needs rescuing but I don't really play Mario platformer games for their story anyway. Gameplay however is too good. Mario has a more diverse set of moves to traverse around the world with Cappy this time around and it is a blast trying to speedrun or reach areas that seem impossible. The main game is a little on the easy side but I hear that post-game ramps it up quite a bit so I am looking forward to that for sure. I definitely recommend this to anyone who has a Switch!

Super Mario Odyssey is a great game. The various kingdoms and their novel themes are some of the funnest and most aesthetically amazing environments in a Mario game to date. Pros: - Great Pacing: So much to do and you're never stuck doing the same thing long enough to get bored. - HUGE amounts of nostalgia throwbacks: There are a lot of nods to classic Super Mario Bros. & Donkey Kong games. - The new hat mechanic is a blast! - If you have enjoyed Mario 64/Mario Galaxy, there are a lot of familiar and welcomed returns to this series. - Pauline: Peach has friend-zoned Mario for far too long. Time to go back to the hot redhead instead (there's an awesome scenario in New Donk City that's well worth completing). Cons: - Enforcing motion controls to pull off some of the more advanced moves is a bad decision on Nintendo's part. - The lack of depth perception, 8-point directional controls, and weird slow-to-acceleration controls can often become frustrating as they may cause you to fail scenarios, miss jumps, or aim your hat throws improperly. - The cosmetic costumes, although great looking, don't offer any mechanical value (buying a snorkle/swimsuit doesn't make you be able to hold your breath under water longer or swim faster, the winter coat doesn't stave off the chilling effects of the cold any better than the boxer shorts, etc.). It makes pursuing these costumes kind of shallow and moot. - The main game is incredibly short: I thought I took the scenic route and yet won the main portion of the game in 2-3 days. Players ignoring the peripheral content could probably win the game in half that time. There's a huge collect-a-thon after the main game is won so at least you're able to keep playing but the story structure is crafted considerably worse. All in all, this is one of the best Super Mario games I've played and if you're a fan of 3D platforming, games the whole family can enjoy, and/or are thinking of taking the Switch plunge and are still wondering if there are enough good games on it yet - this will definitely be for you (see also: The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, Mario + Rabbids: Kingdom Battle, etc.).

Super Mario Odyssey is a throw back to Super Mario 64 and Super Mario Sunshine. It is a true to form throw back to 3d open world Mario games. There is a good difficulty ranges making it easy for kids to enjoy, while still as keep it interesting for adults. I was a little disappointed by the length, but the game really opens up after completion. The main story is around 15 hours long if you go straight through, but after completing the main story, the remaining content is massive. The "kingdoms" you travel to are gorgeous, well design, and full of secrets and easter eggs to find. The main story is the usual, bowser kidnaps Princess Peach, and Mario sets out to save her. Sunshine introduced us to F.LU.D.D., the water shooting backpack companion. Like Sunshine, Odyssey teams you up with Cappy. Cappy provides the main game play mechanics for Odyssey, with the main one being capture. Capture mixes up the game play, and lets you play as different characters/enemies, each with their own unique skills and weakness. These skills are designed to help you traverse the terrain and solve puzzles relative to the kingdom you're in. Each kingdom has enemies specific to it, with only some cross over. There is a huge variety of "baddies" in Odyssey, some new interesting one, and even more being recognizable from previous 2d Mario titles. Outside of Bowser, the majority of bosses in the game are the Brodals, a gang of giant miscreant Bunnies. You encounter these guys regularly, and are my main gripe with the game. They are boring, and IMO just a distraction. Thankfully, though these battles are over quickly. Odyssey also includes 8bit 2d mario mini levels in each kingdom. These are mostly used as a door to progress to another area of the map, or contain some collectible to find. The main collectible in the game are Power Moons. Odyssey has a lot of power moons, somewhere over 800, with most of which not being obtainable until you replay each kingdom, after completing the main story. Another collectible are coins specific to each kingdom, 100 in each. These are used to buy collectibles, and outfits. Outfits, while not adding any skills or stats, often are required to get access to specific moons. Standard coins, also used to be used to purchase items and outfits, are found in all kingdoms and act as your lives. Each time you die you lose 10 coins. This, however, isn't ever a problem, because there are just so many to be found. I really loved playing this game.

This is our first Nintendo Switch game and we love it. My 5 year old daughter really enjoys playing it. Great graphics and Mario takes me back to the 80s.

Odyssey is a great departure from the standard 3 dimensional mario games we have seen since Mario 64. Odyssey showcases its roots in ways that most Mario connoisseurs will not just recognize but will love. Odyssey is not so hard that you can't beat bowser in a day or two, but it also has plenty to do, to keep you coming back for weeks after. Playing Cappy is a neat twist, that gives some second player involvement similar to Mario U. With the best graphics ever, and Marios larger than life wardrobe, Odyssey has brought Adventure back to Mario. I think Odyssey is truly a super Mario!

Bought this for my son for Christmas so I have t actually played it yet. But as far as shipping speed and the order process everything was perfect. Super fast delivery
