Zombie Outfit Brings The Spooky Season To Super Mario Odyssey

E Gadd that's spooky.

Oh, Gosh....!
The leaked was Real.
Zombie Mario ?
No thanks, Nintendo.
I will skip that costume even still looked tame.

Had to do a double take haha! Didn't expect Mario to have an axe buried into his head !

Now you can play as an undead Mario with the weapon of his murder entrenched in his rotting flesh!
Rated E10+

wish there was a way for me to download all the Odyssey content without actually having to do the system firmware update

Won't someone think of the children!

Can't believe it's been almost a full year of Super Mario Odyssey....

@Wanjia it's the eyes that get me the most lol

@Decapre how many costumes are there in the game now? it's amazing that all this stuff is for free.

Can't remember last time I played Odyssey lol

@huyi I think there's about 50 or so total outfits now, but the price is rather grindy. Like the Zombie costume is 3000 coins for the headpiece & 5000 for the outfit.

Am I the only one surprised that Nintendo allowed A axe to be buried in to Marios head?

@Decapre you would be there for ages trying to unlock it all, i remember how much grinding i had to do to unlock the gold mario costume too.

but its' still impressive that this is all for free, anywhere else it would be paid dlc.

Hey at least this one is not melting. Zombie Wario would literally rot away.

@huyi Free except that it costs ridiculous amounts of in game currency, haha.

I'm surprised this one didn't get axed from the costume list

Very nice haha

I’m getting it. Love this costume.

Obviously a rubber axe right?

Looks spooky!

Oh wait🤔. That means you can throw the axe as well right? Yeah, I’m definitely getting this.

I've already beat the main story. but i'll pick this costume up the next i get a chance to play the switch again

How about a new DLC world? Perhaps one built around Boo and a ghost house seen as he's the only thing missing from the main game

@SetupDisk Children love this kind of stuff.

Excellent. Will get it next time I'm on. Love the free stuff. Love how it's grindy, gives me more of a reason to do luigis balloon mode.

Edit: typo

The snapshot filters are the most exciting additions and that's a bit sad but still, something

@huyi just do Balloon World. Trust me, it lowers the grind time to about ten minutes for me

@jhewitt3476 Why can't you do the system update? I suspect why.

would take more then a zombie skin to make me want to return to that game. Ive had about one moon too many!

That is just freaky, but still won't get me to pick the game up again for another year or so, as backlog is too big

Luigi did it.

Nah

@NintyNate same

@Decapre what's worst this and other released DLC outfits have been on the game card since it came out, modders had access to this months ago.

@Anti-Matter
I bet you're a real hit at Halloween parties.

So, did the villager kill mario?

Mario's a universe where the closet approximations of death are portrayed by flatting until the point of vanishing, falling very very far, magical disappearance in puffs of smoke, fully wrapped mummies walking about, or characters entirely constructed out of bleached white bones falling apart and re-assembling in a comical fashion.

The most brutal portrayals of death in the games have always been Mario's own, (drowning, anyone?) but when they go with a green, no-pupils, axe-in-head and torn clothes Mario for Halloween, I'd still call it a bit out-of-universe. Of course, there's no visible wounds, blood, amputations, decomposition, or other flesh-rending maladies, and he still seems bright and cheerful. So it's not an offensive or scary image as such.

But would Mario himself think this was a fun costume?

That's a killer Cappy!

I wonder if when you throw Cappy, you can see the gaping hole where the axe was sitting 🤣 I also wonder who put the axe in his head...I suspect Waluigi...🤣

Dear god, there's some real sissies here.

I like it. Never expected this from Ninendo. Makes me want to go back and find some of the missing moons.

I've already seen this costume somewhere a while back. Just forgot that it existed. Glad they made it official now.

@Yosheel Mario can at least jump...
Poor Wario would just fall through those grates... (Although, wasn't he invincible for a period of time?)

Looks like the Hammer Bros. Found a more effective weapon to hurl.

@carlos82 You're pretty much describing something that would be better for Luigi's Mansion 3 next year. Lol

@shonenjump86 Or, better yet, you throw Mario’s head.

@jhewitt3476 why would you not want to update to latest OFW I wonder.

Seems pretty likely that the 1.2.0 update content will be finished by The Game Awards, hoping DLC Kingdoms are a surprise announcement.

Wow, that's......unexpected. Nintendo is overprotective of how they portray Mario to a fault.....and then they officially release a costume pack for a mainline mario game with an axe in Mario's head.....

So =NEW= Nintendo Co. Ltd. continues to surprise. I'm waiting for next E3:
Super Mario Bros: Retribution (Rated M for Mature. [Blood, graphic violence, language, partial nudity, sexual content]

@Dan_Dan: Yes, but he's not interested in getting his axe back, since he has the golden axe now.

@Everyone_Else: It's slightly tame overall, but simultaneously specifically not for a Mario title. Honestly, I'm kinda curious if Nintendo is slowly experimenting with being slightly more mature-ish. I mean, there's this costume, which isn't very Mario-like, then there's Luigi getting killed in Simon's Smash trailer. Nintendo probably feels that they can, every now, and then, and that their Ips' images can take it.

@Reigestugatensho zombie Wario was completely invincible in WL3 as far as I remember

@FlimFlam nice 😁

@Ryu_Niiyama So how do you handle the lore on this one? For 30-some years I've slammed Mario off cliffs, into bottomless pits, drowned him in water, had him devoured by piranha plants, flung into reciprocating saws, dropped onto large circular saws, dropped onto spikes, crushed by heavy stone blocks, immolated in lava, scorched by flame throwers, shot by countless bullet bills, trampled by dinosaurs, mauled by insane catepillars, blown up by bobombs, destroyed by giant squid, and run through by ghost pirates.

And he has come through all this without as much as a scratch on his hat.

And now a single axe has rendered his clothing in tatters, killed him, and resurrected him undead.

The simulator Animus is fine.

Props to Nintendo for kicking up their willingness to push towards more grit in their video games' presentations. The axe imbedded in Mario's skull, just mortifying.

I wish this game had a more substantial(read : Luigi story mode) DLC. But I cannot complain about them offering outfits that would usually be behind micro transactions.

And of course the news just had to pop up while I was about to go to work: literally this morning, around 7 AM in my timezone.

Thankfully I had almost the required amount of coins when I got back home.

The Manga filter is also lit, I plan on doing some cool stuff with that.

It appears as though Mario was bit and turned into a zombie BEFORE he got an axe in the head. One doesn’t simply turn into a zombie by getting an axe to the head.

@NEStalgia you are poking fun but I already mentioned that games that don’t focus on lore/world building I just play. Villager got tired of mario being mr. Nintendo. I knew he was crazy.

I did finally find someone as (or more really) annoyed with mass effect as i am though. Also animus is not fine. At this point it is an unreliable narrative device/narrator? and the fact that any info for the modern day plot that is gleaned from it is almost impossible. “I made most of this up using a book to frame the scenario but it led me to a real world item” that’s like using Ikaros in the game to find sunken treasure and then going there and finding it. They flipped the table for no reason. And Ubisoft thinks its good at combat again... its not. This game plays alsmost as badly as warrior within.

@OorWullie
don't over-analyze why I don't want to update my firmware....you're wrong, my reason is I purchased my hardware and own it, not renting or leasing, it works fine as is and the fact they force you to update to be able to do the things it's already supposed to do, or suffer the consequences is called "extortion", it's principle for me

as for hacking/modding/cracking, ect., I have no interest, because I am a solid cartridge person and hate anything stored in system memory and/or sd card (when it comes to my game systems), so storing stolen games (that are probably infectect with some virus anyway) on a memory card on my expensive ass system ain't gonna work for me

so don't be so rude, that was a presumption that makes you look like a jackass

@Ryu_Niiyama lol.

Well, I geth I'll have to try Andromeda out one of these days and see just how bad it is!

Yeah it's amazing how the people behind for Honor and Tom Clancy games manage to get it so wrong with combat in ac. I don't mind much since i go all stealth. But yeah...

@NEStalgia
Andromeda ???
are you talking about the tv show ???

@jhewitt3476 to be fair, hacker issues aside, new firmware is often needed for addressing bugs and driver issues in the hardware, os, or apis that are needed for newer games to function properly, usually identified as issues by game devs, internal and external. All systems newer than snes needed such updates, they were just on the discs as needed. (Technically snes and before had updates too, but it was part of the roms on the daughterboard carts.)

Lol no, mass effect Andromeda..... Buti do happen to be a big fan of Roddenberry's as well! Well at least while Tyr was in it before it touched the third rail . Met Tyr in person once. He's just as cool in real life

@NEStalgia I mostly watched Andromeda for Lexa Doig (the computer), the rest of the show was just bonus material, the thing that made it difficult for me was I never saw Captain Dylan Hunt, all I saw was Hercules captoning the Andromeda, I just could never take the show too seriously

Eurgh I just wish SMOs Power Moon gathering wasn't SUCH A CHORE compared to previous collect-aphon Mario games as the new outfits would be a cool addition if I felt the need to play again...

I really hope they take SMO, give the development team a decent chunk of time, and then bring us SMO2 and make it the Mario game that we all wanted in the first place...

SMO is great, don't get me wrong. It just doesn't feel right... it was a single play through, complete main game experience for me. whereas ALL previous Marios I'd keep playing and 100%. It's just missing that magic I guess.

These outfits, whilst a really nice freebie, just don't bring any magic.

I really hope the sequel is a thing, and I have confidence that if it is, it'll be a truly great and magical Mario game.

@jhewitt3476 LOL Yeah, only saw Hurcules in the beginning to (and never really liked him or that show and never watched it), but he grew on me fast. Not the best actor....with not the best directors.....but he became likable, if a bit wooden.

I love that I still have so many moons to collect, cause it means I get to enjoy all this cool new stuff they're still releasing!

@jhewitt3476 My apologies for that comment and it does indeed make me look like a jackass. It wasn't really meant to come across that way, it was worded poorly. Even if you had hacked it, I wouldn't be bothered, I'll be doing it myself once the next gen arrives. I done it with my Wii in 2012. The only reason I've not hacked the Wii U since buying the Switch is because I lost my Smash Bros disc.

@OorWullie
I'm good bro, I just hate it when people (myself included) start making assumptions about people's motives on certain things

like when I started taking C++ classes out of nowhere, I work in physics, I make my $$$ and have enough to do, but people made assumptions I was going to start trying to hack stuff, when in fact, it was all about my love for the droids in Star Wars, I want to make a fully functional (with fully functional A.I. like in the movie) of BB-9e (the black version of BB-8), I've seen people do remote versions successfully, I just wanted to take it to the next level and have it hang out with me at U.S.A. while I'm working, LOL

But again, all good bro, take it easy and take it easy on others too

You guys need to grow some thicker skin.

This is what I picture what Zombie Mario would say in his sleep "Night-nighty. Ah, intestines. Ah, brains. Ah, mama mia.
