An absolute masterclass in pure mechanical joy. Super Mario Odyssey captures the spirit of exploration and movement freedom like no other platformer, offering a dense, highly creative sandbox that constantly rewards player curiosity.

Super Mario Odyssey is a joyous, highly creative 3D platformer that represents a spectacular celebration of player curiosity and movement freedom. Exploring a series of massive, themed sandboxes (ranging from prehistoric valleys to the bustling streets of New Donk City), the game's core innovation is Cappy—Mario's sentient hat. By throwing Cappy, players can 'capture' and control dozens of unique entities, completely altering the gameplay. You can capture a T-Rex to smash stone walls, a Cheep Cheep to swim without drowning, a Goomba stack to reach high ledges, or a zipper to open up secret paths. Traversal is exceptionally responsive, utilizing classic jumps, long-jumps, wall-jumps, and hat-bounces to chain together incredibly fluid movement. The primary loop is finding 'Power Moons' (over 800 in total) which are scattered everywhere: hidden behind pixel-perfect platforming challenges, awarded for dynamic minigames, or found by simply ground-pounding a suspicious spot. Perfectly optimized for Switch handheld and docked play, running at a flawless 60fps.
