Customer Ratings & Reviews

This game is a blast from start to finish. The colors, the music, the gameplay... all are great. There are a TON of moons to collect in this game, and while the bare minimum needed to proceed can be collected extremely easily, it's going after those hard-to-find moons that provides the most challenge and fun. Some of them really test your problem solving skills and platforming dexterity. The variety of locations keep things feeling fresh, and the new mechanics provided by the hat are excellent. Both the capture mechanic and new jumping abilities Mario gets from this sidekick add a lot of new potential to the "same old" Mario formula. It never gets old possessing enemies and figuring out how to use their unique abilities to tackle some new environmental puzzle or challenge. There's a lot here to love for all ability levels. It's also great for quick sessions (you can easily get a couple moons in 5-10 minutes to get a sense of accomplishment), or for longer sessions, clearing an entire kingdom in a few hours. Highly recommended for anyone!

I skipped the Switch but got the Switch 2 on the first day and after playing Tears of the Kingdom this was my number 2 in the list and what a beautiful experience, this is probably the best 3D Mario to the date. A lot of new mechanics combined with nostalgia from the NES, SNES, and N64 era make it perfect. SPOILER ALERT.................. the mushroom kingdom right in the childhood and the post-ending the story gameplay is like another game or a DLC. 10/10 no doubt about it.

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.

Far and away the best Mario game ever made.... and that's quite a bold statement in and of itself. So many levels and so many moons to collect. So colorful, vibrant, full of life. This game is easy to play for all ages. Couldn't say enough good things about it. Worth buying a system simply to play.

Coming into Super Mario Odyssey, I was skeptical if it would grip me. I've gotten older and thought I moved past the shine of the franchise; I was wrong. Super Mario Odyssey has got call backs from a lot of Mario entries be it via levels, enemies, costumes, or abilities. The ability to capture enemies and control them is simple game changer, yet very diverse and smooth. The story is minimalistic but it gets the job done. The world's you visit are all different and varied as you move with Cappy to rescue the princess and his sister. Each have a distinct theme and mechanics to progress and keep things fresh throughout. There are a ton of collectibles to find on each world as well which are both for progression and purchasing items. The controls were butter smooth whether I used the joy cons or the pro controller. Controlling Mario has never been so smooth and fun, imo. The switch has been doing great this year and Super Mario Odyssey around the holidays makes it a no trainer purchase this year.

You played Mario 64? Sunshine? Galaxy? Well, the smooth controls and genius level design is back now on Nintendo Switch, it may feel a little on the easy side at first, but once you start to collect all the moons and coins, the game really becomes a challenge. Recommended for children and adults

I love this game and how it combines not only a free world experience like Super Mario 64 but It has elements of old school 2D Nintendo Super Mario as well for a touch of nostalgia making it a game for newcomers and veterans of Mario to enjoy! Plenty of replayabilty due to the nearly countless Power Moons on each level to give an extra challenge to players even after completing the main story!

Classic switch game that is a must have to any collection! Mario games are always timeless and this has held up as a great time. Lots of fun levels and challenges to complete.

This game is amazing. It's the fun experience from previous Mario games mixed with the freedom of today's free roam games. It's simple and fun for anybody at any age. It has two player as well. If you are just getting a Switch, would highly recommend this game with it for a fun experience.

Im happy I was finally able to purchase this game! When I say I wasn't ready for the innovation, I really wasn't. Open world Mario is truly the way to go! Hopefully there is a sequel

Most gamers already know whether they like Mario games. If you dislike them, then Mario Odyssey won't change your mind. But if you do like them, then you can rest assured that this one is as great as any of the others. It doesn't quite live up to the insane hype around it, but it is still very good. This is the same style of cartoony 3d-platforming collect-a-thon as Mario 64 and the Galaxy games. The main storyline takes around 15-20 hours if you play at a normal pace, and it's fairly easy for the most part. However, there is a huge amount of post-game content that you unlock after that, and some of it is quite challenging. No DLC or microtransactions here...you can unlock everything without pulling out your wallet again. There are only a few real flaws in Odyssey, and none of them are very bad. If you're on the fence about this game, then I would recommend you give it a try. It's my #2 favorite Switch game behind only Breath of the Wild.

I really enjoyed the Wii 3D mario games in Super Mario Galaxy 1 and 2. Then, with Mario 3d World it kinda went downhill. However, I really enjoyed this entry in the series. It takes some of the excitement of surreal worlds and grounds them a little bit, bringing Mario into some of the most "realistic" worlds yet. Having already completed the main storyline, it is in traditional Mario fashion, no deviation from the status quo. For me, however, Mario games are more about the creative gameplay and boss battles than the actual storyline or cut scenes like in other video games. After completing the story, there is still so much exploring to do! I spent a solid two hours on one world alone trying to gather the power stars, and I was nowhere near close to collecting all of the stars there. Every single star seems to be creatively placed in its location; nothing seems to be by chance, but instead intentional. Overall, would definitely recommend.

Super Mario Odyssey for the Nintendo Switch is a must-play masterpiece. Its innovative "capture" mechanic, using Mario's hat Cappy to control enemies and objects, injects incredible creativity into gameplay and exploration. The diverse and vibrant kingdoms are packed with secrets and collectibles, encouraging you to explore every nook and cranny. While the sheer number of collectibles can feel a bit much at times, the core gameplay is polished, joyful, and constantly surprising. Odyssey is a triumphant reinvention of the 3D Mario formula and a delightful adventure from start to finish.

This game is so fun! I've been enjoying playing with my six year old daughter - we haven't taken it out of the Switch since October. Great level designs, tight controls, all around a wonderful experience. Feels like Mario 64 in terms of being able to explore freely.

Super Mario Odyssey has outstanding game play, story and graphics. The addition of Cappy makes for a new style of game play with plenty of new capabilities. The kingdoms are huge and offer a lot of things to collect such as power moons ,regional coins, outfits and souvenirs. You power up the Odyssey by collecting a minimum number of power moons that allow you to travel. between kingdoms. Each kingdom has plenty of power moons to collect in plain sight while others are hidden or you complete a task or activity. Some warp pipes and doors lead to game fields that range in difficulty. I like that I could decide which I would want to play without sacrificing progress or advancing in the game. This is unlike other Mario games were you could get stuck on a level or not have enough stars to continue beyond. There is even more game play after you defeat Bowser (and it is a lot more relaxing).

Super Mario 64 translated an iconic 2D platformer into a 3D world and redefined what a Nintendo experience could be. Super Mario Odyssey takes that a step further, playing around with the concept of an open world (albeit less so than, say, Skyrim or Breath of the Wild) where Mario can discover power moons just in the course of messing around. Yes, there are mini-bosses to fight; yes, there are puzzles to solve and secrets to discover; but there have also been times when I've gone "I wonder what would happen if I..." and have been rewarded for it. Not because there's a puzzle to solve, but because Odyssey rewards exploration and experimentation in a way no Mario game I've previously played has. I've immensely enjoyed every Mario title since Super Mario World in 1990, so I don't say this idly: Odyssey is the most fun I've ever had with Mario.

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.

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!

verio good mario game. plays well. fast ship.great price.

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.
