Topic: Super Mario Odyssey

I've yet to find a race that was terribly challenging. And I'm far and away from being an expert Mario player.

@CreamyDream Mario 64 is a good deal more challenging for me. Mario is difficult to control, I'm constantly fighting the camera, and there are a lot of tiny platforms floating in empty space that are difficult to land on.

I agree the difficulty curve isn't a problem, though. Most 3D Mario games are easy to beat, but more challenging to fully complete.

Oh I enjoy the races. Of the ones I've done, they've been mostly fairly easy.

I also think it's safe in saying this has topped Galaxy 2 as my new favorite 3D Mario. Which was a tall order, but they managed it

The birds can definitely be a bit iffy. I've never had a problem getting the moon, as it's usually in the same position as the bird was when I hit it (ergo if I can hit the bird, I can get the moon). But I remember one of the Metro ones took a number of attempts to hit, and the wide path it look meant it took a while before I could get another chance.

I think the idea of the bird is a bad one but if I was able to reach the bird the first time, I could always get back to the same spot again for the moon.

But yeah I would have preferred the birds not be a thing.

Completely 101% Mastered.

All 883 regular Moons + 116 Moons from the Crazy Cap stores = 999 Moons.
41/41 Hats, 42/42 Costumes, 52/52 Capers, 43/43 Souvenirs, 82/82 Music Tracks.
Completed final Sphinx challenge.
Completed final Hard Bowser challenge.
Star on Save File.
65+ hours played.

10/10

Apparently people still think the ability to locate Purple Coins, get an extra heart and invincibility are locked to the Wedding amiibo only.

Did no one try the other Mario/Peach/Bowser amiibo? I've been using the Super Mario ones this whole time

I think overall the birds are a bad idea, only if they could have been replaced by another, more interesting moon. Otherwise, better than nothing I say. Usually they hit a low point somewhere, you just gotta find it. The warping actually resets their location too, so if you miss it and don't want to wait for it to come around again you can warp. Did that in the Wooded Kingdom. Btw, what did people think about the birds that sit at edge of the map and fly away when you get close? They were really annoying, and I could only get them by cheesing the game by loading them off-screen while cappy was there.

@CreamyDream Yeah, absolutely. There have been a lot of QOL improvements in Mario games over the years, so I could see SM64 being easier overall with more modern design sensibilities.

Except for those sliding levels. I always struggle with those!

I almost teared up a little when...

@MasterWario I found them annoying until I realized you were supposed to crouch walk slowly to them until you were within cap throwing distance. Then it wasn't so bad.

@SKTTR Wait, where can I see my save file? Also, by final Sphynx challenge you mean the one in the final challenge, right?

Hi,

I just beat the main story and absolutely loved the game. I know I have at least another 15 hours getting more moons and unlocking the remaining kingdoms but have they said anything about expansions for the game in the future? Since there have been 2 for Zelda and since early indications are that Odyssey will outsell BoTW I would think its highly likely but just wondered if anyone had any info on this.

Thanks

I figured if they were planning on it, they'd announce it pre-launch. But ya never know! Let's wait a bit, they may surprise us

The game has 5 save files per user.
Press PLUS to pause and check the options.

Yes, I mean the one in the final stage with the very last questions.
Man, I'm so glad I got that last question right on my first try after some debate with myself. I really didn't want to start over the stage again, I already gave every wrong anwser on the question before and had to restart. xD

Cake you, Nintendo! I can tell that the rabbits go easy on you by "getting tired" if you take too long to catch it. If I was so determined to catch it, why would you think I wanted an easy way out?

At 700 moons now, it's starting to get a bit tiring

@Maxz Aw, come on! You couldn't allow me to hold the record for the fastest time in Metro Kingdom's Koopa Freerunning Challenge among my friends? Lol jeez

EDIT: Ha. Beaten. That took frustratingly forever, though...

@Hawkstream the game screams out 'insert DLC here'... but personally I'd much rather see a Mario Odyssey 2. The cappy mechanics are very satisfying and flexible enough (just add more enemies to capture*) to hang another full game around without it feeling repetitive.

For some games DLC really makes sense but I don't think it's the best option in this case.

*Bob ombs might be fun. Boos have been done before in Galaxy 2 but why not again? They'd fit the more exploratory style like a glove. Dry bones could be interesting too in a Wario Land kind of way. More dinosaurs too - of course.

@SKTTR Huh, just tried to open a new game on the second slot but it still tells me that this will create a new save file. Can anybody confirm that this won‘t delete my save file? I mean, I‘ll just use my American username for subsequent playthroughs if it does delete your save file.
