    I've been playing video games since the 90s and Mario Odyssey is the only game to ever make me cry from actual happiness. It felt like a perfect celebration of decades of playing video games.

      Yeah I agree. In my opinion it’s definitely the best Mario game ever released. Mario’s never felt so incredible to control and each world is filled to the brim with secrets and gameplay variety. It nails what a Mario game should do in my opinion. 👍👍

      I think this game'is a masterpiece best left untouched. One thing I expect ti see in the future Is an open-world Mario game. Thus would be the concept of Mario 1 crancked up to 11, where instead of you being a One man Army conquering many different castles, you get ti help different factions at war in the Mushroom Kingdom, Like the Penguins in the new Mario film, for example.

    Thanks so much for making this. It's crazy but I actually think this game is underrated. It's head and shoulders the best Mario game imo, but I've noticed a lot of people firmly placing it as their 2nd favorite after 64, Sunshine, or Galaxy (2). Those are all great games, but Odyssey is a celebration of Mario in a way that those other games aren't.
    Definitely my favorite Mario game, my favorite game on Switch, and my game of the year that year.

    My favorite tiny detail was the text in the menu on the darker side of the moon that said, "Seeing the Bright Side - From here you can observe galaxies shining in ways you never could from home. Culmina Crater features vistas entirely unique from those you can find on the Dark Side of the Moon and Honeylune Ridge. If you're feeling down or disheartened, just take a look up at the Milky Way from here.
    You can see each star twinkle as they nestle closer to one another.
    it will all be OK - you are not alone."

    As someone who grew up with 64 and always placed it as my favorite 3d mario game, ever since Odyssey came out, it took the number one spot. Mario 64 was the blueprint and more influential but I believe Odyssey surpassed it. Its such an amazing experience and it does so many things right. Desperately needs a sequel imo.

    What a great tribute to Mario Odyssey! I started out on the NES / SNES games and Mario 64 came out when I was 6.

It’s an immaculate piece of software.
