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.

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.

Mario Odyssey is a joy. This game has many moments that leave you smiling. Mario is one of the few titles that can do that; its charm is unlike any other and even after decades, it still succeeds to leave an everlasting impression. Gameplay is FUN. The most important characteristic of any game... it's simply fun. There are simple mechanics to learn with the introduction of Cappy, but as you progress in the game, you realize there are many variations and combos one can do to accomplish a set goal. The world of Odyssey is also spectacular and each kingdom has its own unique personality. The story.. if any.. is more or less the same.. save peach, but its more about the journey that makes this game of one the best if not the BEST in the series. Music is also wonderful and there are few tracks I revisit out of leisure. Collecting moons can sometimes be underwhelming but other times... when you figure out how to reach that elusive moon... you feel very accomplished and thrilled. The replay value is also great. there's a lot to do once you think you've finished the game... NOPE... still a whole lot of content to explore. That is what makes Nintendo great... they offer full, complete gaming experiences. if you own a switch, this is a MUST. BUY IT!

I've played Mario Bros games since the very first Mario Bros. This game references every game and is the best open-world version!! It has everything for everyone!! My six year old can play on his own and can do enough to beat the game. My 12 year old has opened secret kingdoms, and I am still playing trying to get 100% completion!! It's amazing!!!

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!

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.

From the moment you boot it up, this game proves why it deserves a spot among the best on the Nintendo Switch. Visually, it’s one of the most stunning titles available on the system. The attention to detail, vibrant colors, and smooth animation push the Switch hardware to impressive limits, offering a truly beautiful and immersive experience whether you're playing docked or handheld.
The soundtrack is equally stellar, each track perfectly complements the mood of the gameplay, from high-energy action sequences to quiet, reflective moments. It's the kind of music that sticks with you long after you’ve put the controller down.
Speaking of controllers, the game plays like a dream. The controls are tight, responsive, and intuitive, making it accessible for newcomers while still offering enough depth for seasoned players. Every movement and action feels fluid and satisfying, creating a gameplay loop that’s hard to put down.
What really makes this game shine, though, is just how fun it is. Whether you're playing solo or sharing the experience with others (there is a simple 2 player mode), there's a genuine joy in exploring, discovering, and progressing through its world. It strikes a perfect balance of challenge and accessibility, making it an ideal pick for players of all ages.
In short, this is a top-tier Switch title that checks every box: breathtaking visuals, an unforgettable soundtrack, polished controls, and gameplay that keeps you coming back. If you’re looking for a game that showcases the very best of what the Switch has to offer, look no further.

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.

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!

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.

Easily the best Mario game yet! Brings back wonderful memories of Mario64. There's hours and hours of gameplay in this game, the worlds are big and creative. The first time you throw Cappy onto the T-Rex is so cool! It's so much fun and very addictive! Just get this game already! It's Mario, it's amazing!

This is just such a blast to play. Nothing like a flagship Mario title to get you excited about playing a Nintendo console. I'm a little old school so I can remember getting the NES with the first Super Mario game, then Mario 64 and Galaxy for the Wii. This gives that same level of excitement!

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!
