Hackers love a good data mine, with the naughty practice often revealing unreleased content or incoming feature not yet made public by a game's developer. One recent deep dive into Super Mario Odyssey's code has unearthed a set of costumes that were completed, but never officially released into the full game.
These include an awesome zombie costume, a racing costume (and helmet) and a full 8-Bit Mario costume. There's also a Conductor set and a Santa set for the holiday season. None of these costumes ever saw the light of day, and while we can understand Nintendo getting cold feet on an undead theme, the 8-Bit one would suit SMO perfectly.
Let us know what you make of these unreleased costumes below. Would you have used them if they were included in the full game? Share your take below...

I just really want the 8bit one
They will slowly release these as they have with the first broodal costume not long ago
There's gameplay footage of the unreleased outfits in question.

What's most interesting to me is that the outfits were actually unlocked and used on hardware itself, showing how far Switch hacking has gone.
I hate to be that guy but...
This is old news! Nintendo Wire reported on it a while back. Like, a while while back.
Ah well, I'm not gonna be a Debby Downer. This looks super cool! I just want some more substantial DLC (new kingdoms?) to bring me back into the game.
Ugh.... Zombie Mario ?!
8 bit Mario ??
im interested in the 8bit one.
the others (Santa, Zombie) are useful for the holidays. (if they are even planned to released them during Christmas and Halloween)
I've got no problem with new costumes if they're a reasonable price in the game, but all the ones that need me to grind for thousands of coins are just really annoying.
I'd much rather pay for some DLC kingdoms, if that also takes the moon count to 999 then it would have the additional benefit of removing the grind to buy moons from the store!
I know all the moons and costumes are optional, but when it comes to Mario I like to do it all. I can't finish Mario World without unlocking all 96 exits or Mario 64 without all 120 stars!
More the merrier surely... 8bit and Racing one are cool - racing one id use.
Never understand why some content gets finished and put into the game but never actually released without cheating. Like actually catching Arceus in Pokemon's 4th gen games. Instead of releasing the item that would have let you climb Spear Pillar and battle and capture it, they just gave you Arceus as a freebie - never actually allowing people to do it.
Hopefully Nintendo will actually release these at some point.
These suits will most likely be released eventually, probably one at a time, just like the Satellaview suit and the Topper suit.
The zombie is HORRIBLE. Poor Mario! Santa Mario is cute tho
I’ll take the zombie and 8 bit Mario. Santa looks pretty cool too.
They're all pretty neat. I like the zombie and 8 bit ones the best
I like the 8bit one
Has a data miner ever found a whole level buried in a game?
Between seeing this article and the article about the trademarks, I'm surprised these companies can keep anything a secret these days.
Boring lol costumes suck, why bother
The 8-bit mario looks awesome, I would love to see what it's like playing like that.
Yeah I would love these costumes. Would love some new content too so I have a reason to replay the game
@outsider83 Ninty wouldn't put anything big in beforehand, the costumes are here so they can quickly release them when they need to instead of adding new assets every time.
Why is the last picture so blurry?
