Bringing the Adventure!
/Have you ever played on a switch or DS? If you haven’t, now is the time to try it. There are many games on the switch and DS that are fun to play, but tod ay I am going to review Super Mario Odyssey game.
Overview
This game brings new life to the Super Mario bro’s franchise. Odyssey does a great job of keeping some of the original things like music and mechanics for the characters. While bringing new characters and new costumes to the screen. To add to that, the game features 16 new worlds for you to try! All with unique challenges for tons of fun.
Goal:
The mission is still the same in Odyssey. Mario must save princess peach from Bowser. The only difference is that this time he intends to marry her. What we come to learn is that bowser went to the Hat Kingdom and took a tiara for Peach. That already spells trouble for the princess. I like how they changed it up a bit though because without it most players would know the story and it would become stale. Odyssey did well in avoiding that.
Characters:
As I mentioned, there are several new characters in the game. One of those being Cappy. Who is Cappy? Well, Cappy is a hat. I was waiting for something to happen with his hat because it is signature of Mario. Cappy has powers now. Some of his powers are spinning in place, Mario can run and Cappy springs him higher, and he can capture enemies. That adds a fun new twist for sure! This game does not have Bowser Jr, or Koopa’s. instead, it has four Broodals who are evil wedding planners.
Controls:
Mario still has most of his normal mechanics in Odyssey, such as he can still jump, run, triple jump, wall climb, and more. But unlike other games he can’t punch. Meaning he doesn’t get the fire suit and the game doesn’t have mushrooms. Mario cannot shrink or grow like in previous years. Instead, he has health points and you can get up to six in total.
Levels:
As you go beat a boss, you can not only move on to the next level but now you can choose to do puzzles like a side mission. Some of those vary from easy to very hard and you will be running around the world in tons of different places. Through lava, poison, among others. All to get something called a Power Moon. They allow you to move on to the next challenge but here’s the catch. If you don’t have enough power moons and you don’t give them to the Odyssey, you will have to move around trying to collect them. They can be hidden in plain sight, under some objects or you have look for them in a challenge. When everything is said and done you should have enough to do in Mario Odyssey.
My final thoughts are that if you have enjoyed previous Mario games, you will enjoy this one. It is a mix between and old for all ages and there’s something for everyone in Odyssey.
