One of the most charming features of Super Mario Odyssey was the ability to change Mario’s appearance in dozens of different ways, giving player’s ample control over how to style the famed plumber. Whether it be neat throwbacks like the Super Mario 64 outfit or rather strange ones like Peach’s wedding dress, fans have loved the diversity on offer and Nintendo has pledged to continue expanding the wardrobe through occasional free DLC updates.
The latest of these updates has gone live, bringing with it two new costumes: Satellaview and Baseball. The baseball one is rather self-explanatory, but the Satellaview one is an interesting reference to Nintendo history. The Satellaview was an add-on to the Super Famicom in Japan which brought basic online capabilities to the system, allowing users to download games, magazines, and even an early precursor to DLC. Both costumes are available for purchase in the store, so get grinding on those coins.

Ooooh....!!
Baseball Mario ?!
I want that costume !
Next, Shirtless Boxing Mario please. 😁
That’s cool, I need to go back and collect more stars. Now in a baseball costume.
@Anti-Matter We need more freeing of the nips!!
@XenoShaun
And Mario's abs.
Who knows if he has "Hidden" six packs ?
I should get back to that game sometime. So much to play though.
@Anti-Matter All that jumping and running has to tone something!
I’m hoping we will eventually get the rumored Link suit since we’ll be getting more of these costumes
@Deku-Scrub Agreed. Bring in the rest of the Nintendo franchises too. I want to see Samus' armour and maybe even Shulk's costume.
These aren't that interesting to me. I would be more hyped if we got some cross-over customs with other Nintendo IPs like Zelda, Pokemon or Splatoon.
The whole costume thing in Odyssey seemed pointless to me. Glad others enjoy them though.
Love that baseball uni..... will be getting ASAP.
I just have him wear his normal clothes with the Sunshine Shades now. It was fun dressing him up during the initial playthrough though.
Just working on getting to rank 50 in Balloon World. Rank 46 so far, but it has become a grind since rank 44, where easy rank ups kind of just stopped. I've even purchased 99 Moons in every Kingdom at this point. lol
I'd love to see more retro suits! Gimme Frog & Hammer Bros. suit from SMB3 (Tanooki too, but the others need more visibility), and Super Cape from SMW. Other than obvious ones like that, how about Punch-Out!! referee suit... and a Birdo suit! 😆 Kuribo's shoe would be fun, but may look weird lol!
Cool and all but I want new kingdoms based on old Mario games. I'll pay whatever it takes, Nintendo.
@Anti-Matter I prefer shirtless Link tho
Baseball is my fave outfit yet.... hockey and basketball next please!
Would love them to add other playable characters
yeah, another useless costumes
If y'all want to know what's coming, data miners found all of the planned costumes so far. Spoilers abound of course, but it seems like there's some cool stuff coming!
I want a new world, or more of the Ruined Kingdom. Coolest Mario world in a long time
@SwitchVogel
What ?
Really ?!
So, Baseball costumes were just only Beginning ?
Anti-Matter
How come your posts are always related to you being horny for some dude? I mean even when playing games which aren't striving for fan service... and a Mario title. E gads dude. Like do whatever but hearing about your libido in every page is getting weird.
Haven’t been on Mario since xenoblade 2 came out 😳
@OptometristLime block him. More tolerable that way.
Satelite view costume is really awsome. Allways wanted Nintendo to do VC or a collection of those games, been interested in checking them out. Atleast this is kinda an acknowleding they excists.
@OptometristLime If he ain't complaining about violent games, or fanservice games with female characters instead of dudes.
@LUIGITORNADO
Bye !
@LUIGITORNADO it is a shame that the coolest world in Mario ever is also the shortest one
I don't get it. Why aren't these behind a microtransaction loot box system?
Brats in the comments section here. Nintendo gives us arguably the best game of 2017, one of the best games of all time, a near infinite supply of collectables and discovery, BUT we still hear negging and nitpicking. Spoiled, that's what we all are, spoiled.
@Pazuzu666 I read that with Pazuzu's voice, from the first Exorcist.
Baseball Mario looks really nice, but I just want to stick to Doctor Mario. I'll probably get it but I don't know if I will ever use it. I like Dr Mario too much.
I generally like Nintenso's way of assimilating contemporary game trends.
"People like dressing up and customizing characters? Let's give Link and Mario a million outfits to mix and match with."
It's going to please those that dig, while it can't hurt those that don't care. Except in Zelda my OCD doesn't allow me to not fully upgrade all the gear.
Do we know how much coin is needed to purchase
@Lord I want to say it's beteeen 6,000 and 7,000 coins for both outfits and hats.
So... Maybe 20 minutes of Balloon World.
@Joekun It gave special coin hunting and reg coin collecting a sense of actual reward and some costumes themselves unlocked special areas in the game. Also I was finally able to play as my preferred red overalls blue shirt Mario.
I get the Baseball one, but I don't understand the other one even after it's pointed out to me. Does it represent a costume or character from a game that played off of the Satellaview? It doesn't look like the Satellaview!
I wonder if this means all those other outfits that dataminers found will come to the game eventually.
@dkxcalibur There was an ad for the Satellaview with Mario in that outfit.
@Kiolu100 That's the info I was looking for! Thank you.
@dkxcalibur No problem!
this makes me a want a new mario baseball similar to aces with actual baseball outfits SO bad
I rather have an actual good baseball game for the Switch. I didn't collect most of the ones in the game in the first place.
@EvilRegal those are some great suit request!
@tobibra: "Always wanted Nintendo to do VC or a collection of those games, been interested in checking them out. At least this is kinda an acknowledging they exist."
@Everyone_Else: Just looking at the costumes, before I read (the article), I knew that was the Satellaview Mario ad costume.
From a youtube video back from '11, the system/sub-system didn't allow true 2-way communication. It allowed only 1-way from satellite to cable box. The system also featured live voice acting over some games. The subsystem has, to my knowledge, been emulated properly, as can be, minus the live broadcast nature of the some of the games.
How do you get the bowser suit?
