Like previous Mario games, the main goal of Super Mario Odyssey is to collect certain objects and save Princess Peach. Exploring the Mushroom Kingdom and beyond This game takes all the best parts of previous franchise entries and molds it into one beautiful platforming experience. Mario can still run, jump, and wall-kick his way around. Goombas can stack, Chain Chomps can crumble walls, and you can become a T-rex.
When using Cappy to take control of other creatures, players gain different abilities. Rather than just a bunch of costumes that give players powers, this design breaks that mold.īut don't worry! Costumes are still a thing, and Mario will still have different powers things just work a little differently in Super Mario Odyssey. You can also use Mario's new hat to reach new heights, cause damage, or as a temporary platform if you time it right. Mario can throw his pal at all sorts of objects and enemies to take over their bodies. Cappy is more than just a wise-cracking side-kick - he is the game mechanic. The storyline may be standard Mario fare, but the gameplay puts a new spin on things.
