LostSoldier20 I had literal nightmares of capturing hundreds of sheep, in mario odyssey! (There were only six sheep in the game, but it's so frustrating getting them!)
When you said that you're going to rank them on being kingdoms, I honestly thought for a moment you would talk about their infrastructure, politics and the such.
@@HungryWardenand it most likely also has the best economy and definitely the best infrastructure, the only thing where it’s not at the top is defense, which probably goes to bowsers, but that’s still great
Cloud Kingdom was definitely a huge letdown. It is STUNNING and my heart just sank when I realized that there wasn't going to be this beautiful cloud world to explore.
Yeah he says it's not a kingdom and just a castle, but in my opinion the cloud kingdom is just as boring and doesn't have the great atmosphere to help it.
But it’s the potential represented by the atmosphere that just fizzles out. When I got there in game I was in awe of the setting. Such a jaw-dropping art piece with a difficult boss battle, only to find out that’s basically it for that kingdom. The cloud kingdom is just a cloud arena, boring. I didn’t finish the collecting, so I didn’t play dark or darker. But I had such high hopes for ruins, which Nintendo ruined
Its also great how the "carbonated water" that makes up the sea in the Seaside Kingdom always makes the controler rumble a little when youre in the water!
Cloud Kingdom is the worst for me. It's basically just an arena with a bowser fight and that's pretty much it. They could have made at least a bit platforming before the fight. (Nope that 3 hat clouds don't count)
Cloud and Ruins shouldn't count as "Kingdoms," since they just serve as boss stages and provide a handful of objectives. They're more like mini-hubs rather than fully fledged kingdoms.
"Alright level, you get one fuzzy" "But butt but...I have penguins!" "I don't care, you still only get-" "🐧" "Ugh, fine, your penguins get a fuzzy too...>.>"
My problem with the seaside kingdom is that once you defeat the boss, the kingdom turns from sunny and bright to a sunset theme, which feels a lot less exciting and fun. I wish there was a way to turn the sky back to normal
Yeah even though I do like the post bossfight version of seaside better, I do wish that you had the option to revert kingdoms back to their pre boss fight state. Like metro could go back to night and snow could go to blizzard, ect...
Honestly I feel like I love all the kingdoms and each have their highlights. Honestly I can’t decide which is the best from sand, metro, wooded, or luncheon for me. I do think cloud is the worst as for me it’s really hard to see with my brightness settings and it’s look isn’t as interesting as ruined. The rest of the kingdoms I really Love
i think the ranking of worst was because it broke Ceave's heart with unfulfilled expectations, to which i kinda relate. I wanted to capture the epic dragon and getting inside one of those towers with edgy dark enemies would be epic.....still disagree with ceave's decision: I think the cloud kingdom was the worst.
I think the tease factor is what lowered its rating. I’ll admit I was disappointed with that one more than the cloud kingdom. At least the cloud kingdom can be taken at face value.
The Metro Kingdom is probably my favorite because I love platforming on top of and through the buildings, and I actually live really close to New York City, so it's cool to see it in a Mario game.
I feel like it's kinda unfair to rate the kingdoms after the story ends. The kingdoms you rated the lowest were amazing, but not in an exploration kind of way. Cloud was the first time you fought bowser, ruined had an amazing battle with a friggin dragon and darker side had a challenge that took me weeks to complete. I get that you wanted to put every kingdom on the same field, but not including the purpose of the kingdom feels like such a waste...
Those kingdoms you named, he ranked them low because they were a let down, they are just used for boss fights, i wish they were boss levels and full fledged kingdoms
I know, right? The game has tons of unique, original versions of all the classic Mario settings, but the sky area isn’t even as exciting as New Soup sky levels.
Read the map descriptions for cloud kingdom. While it's really lackluster on content there's a lot of lore they put into it. The arena is a moon phase themed one and it gets it's name as a kingdom from being the host to an ancient civilisation. The overall aesthetics packed into it are really good as well. I just wish there was more to it.
I kind of don’t like how he did the Darker Side dirty, not counting the whole point of the stage. That’s like not considering the boss in a kingdom that is a boss arena. *Oh wait-*
I apologize for disagreeing but I just don’t think Wooded Kingdom is all that memorable. I swear if you put a screenshot of it and asked me which Mario game it is in, I would think it was a galaxy from Super Mario Galaxy. I don’t know why but I feel like the objectives, atmosphere, and captures aren’t as fun and more tedious in this kingdom. (I still love the stretchy plant captures though). This still doesn’t change my mind that Mario Odyssey is by far one of the best 3D Mario game. (It is near perfect with a few less than noticeable flaws)
I agree on Sand Kingdom. When I first played the game, I spent 3 hours collecting as many moons as I could in that stage before moving on to the next stage. Super engaging!
Man. I’ve been watching you for years, and I STILL love your overly eccentric tone and thick accent. You’re fun to listen to, dude. Keep up the good work. Edit: If you ask me, it seems a bit unfair to rank Ruined Kingdom as the worst based on what it _isn’t._ In my opinion, Cloud Kingdom is the worst due to it being just a completely empty, not very visually appealing space used for one Bowser fight. The Ruined Kingdom on the other hand is beautiful and is home to one of the most APESHIT bosses in Mario history.
Actual love for lost kingdom?? Its one of my favorites. Very compact with so much to find, love the atmosphere and weird music. It also feels the closest to how stages would be in super mario 64. Something about it just works. Also, my favorite kingdom is luncheon.. mostly because the music is awesome and the level theme is just perfectly goofy.
This has to be one of my favorite videos by you. You rarely make videos about pure video game design, and this one is so well made. It’s polished, presents clear but intelligent analysis, and doesn’t shy away from criticizing design choices you disagree with. **please** make more videos like this. They are excellent.
my favorte is wooded i love the aesthetic and everything.. luncheon is my second favorite actually but i respect your opinion. sand is third its really good yeah i find cloud the worst because it barely has anything going for it. ruined at least has some pretty interesting lore even if there was Nothing done with it
“Cascade Kingdom is missing something at the top like a giant dinosaur skeleton.” Literally the next shot shows the dinosaur skeleton that is at the top of Cascade Kingdom.
The Accidental Hipster Mario goes to Egypt, the Bermuda, Easter Island, and China. I dunno, sounds like cultural appropriation to me. That's not very PC, Mario. No wonder Daisy has forsaken this cursed land.
Speaking from my experience, I LOVED Snow Kingdom. I loved its different take on the formula, its citizens and would rate it a 5/5 fuzzies. Its my second favourite kingdom in the game after all.
I liked snow stages because there is no snow here so the only times I see snow is if Im outside of my country which doesnt happen a lot so at least I can see snow in the game
Switch the four fuzzy levels with the 5 fuzzy levels and I’m perfect with this list. Bowser, Lost and Wooded just had so much atmosphere and fun, the best captures, the areas felt more dense and had a ton of variation to them and stuff hidden better. 4 stars > 5 stars for me.
using your list, my least favorite of the kingdoms nominated is cloud. I always forget it exists until i need to fight bowser 1, and that speaks for everything. there is nothing to do, with, from what i recall, less than 10 total moons even with the moon rock. ruined is so aesthetically pleasing and surprising, i dont think anyone can forget it. Darker is safe due to the final challenge nature of it, mixed with all the feels in the beginning and end. excited going into it, and nostalgically sad leaving it. also, "no platforming challenges built into seaside kingdom"? i dare you to play "the water is lava" and make a lap around the outer ring of islands surrounding the central glass. it is possible, and quite a fun self-imposed challenge.
I love the Wooded Kingdom for one major reason. It reminds me of Planet Wisp from Sonic Colours and Sonic Colours is actually the first ever videogame I remember playing, so it’s always held a special place in my heart.
The deep woods was a total surprise. I had no idea it existed until I went back after beating the game. So I really enjoyed it as a secret, mysterious area.
I feel like the most interesting kingdom themes were the ones delegated to boss arenas. Like a ruined castle & clouds would’ve been cool level times if they were fully explored.
Bowsers kingdom is my favorite though. The atmosphere, the way you climb up, the peaceful island halfway with crazy cap, the way the music and atmosphere gets much more dynamic near the main courtyard entrance, the hakama plus the Luigi cap are my favorite outfit combination, and that’s easily my favorite. Also the ruined kingdom is in my top 3 kingdoms despite it being empty. I just love it so much. I don’t even play games like dark souls or games with this type of art style. Also I kinda hate sand kingdom. It was the most annoying to 100% and every time I started 100%ing it, I abandoned cuz it was just so annoying. For me, ruined is better.
You nailed the best stage. I told my friend right when I finished playing this game two years ago: "nothing quite lived up to the sand kingdom for the rest of the game"
Cap Kingdom: Small, yet simple. Each part is easily recognizable but also doesn’t feel boring. Favorite Part: The Town Least Favorite Part: Having to use the ParaGoomba a lot Cascade Kingdom: Bigger, and a lot more fun. Great music, fun boss, and just great to find secrets in. Favorite Part: Playing as a T-Rex Least Favorite Part: The Small World Levels Sand Kingdom: Amazing to explore in, many ways to get around, and very iconic. Favorite Part: Tostarena Town Least Favorite Part: The underground sections Wooded Kingdom: More Compact, but still great to explore. Awesome combination of forest and factory. Favorite Part: The well designed branching paths Least Favorite Part: The Deep Woods Lake Kingdom: Small, but still fun as no section feels unnecessary or slow. Favorite Part: The Underwater Dome Least Favorite Part: The frog poison mini level Cloud Kingdom: Barren and also small. Lost potential for a fun sky level. Favorite Part: Fighting Bowser Least Favorite Part: Everything else Lost Kingdom: Small, but still fun. The branching paths kept the kingdom from feeling too linear. Favorite Part: The tropical wiggler Least Favorite Part: The poison Metro Kingdom: Every area is great to explore, fighting the MechaWiggler is awesome, and jumping on the roof tops is thrilling. Favorite Part: The festival Least Favorite Part: Jump Rope Challenge Snow Kingdom: The town is cute, but the Main Land and Bound Bowl races aren’t fun. Favorite Part: The town Least Favorite Part: The Mainland Seaside Kingdom: Waaay too many areas and isn’t fun to explore. Even the boss is just alright. Favorite Part: The Beach House Least Favorite Part: Swimming Luncheon Kingdom: Amazing theme and fun to explore. The lava bubble capture is ingenious and all the areas are recognizable. Favorite Part: The cooking Carnival Least Favorite Part: The peak climb Ruined Kingdom: Lost potential and way too small. No fun to revisit either. Favorite Part: Fighting the Lord of Lightning Least Favorite Part: Everything else Bowser’s Kingdom: Great Theme and the linear design is great. Really builds up the final battle. Favorite Part: Pokio Least Favorite Part: The purple coins Moon Kingdom: The mainland is kind of boring but the moon caverns and final battle are awesome. Favorite Part: The ending Least Favorite Part: The mainland feels too barren Mushroom Kingdom: Great references and simple to get around in. The castle was awesome and playing as Yoshi was fun. Favorite Part: The Mario 64 callbacks Least Favorite Part: Toadette’s achievement moons
The Sand Kingdom is my favourite kingdom because I'm absolutely in love with all the cultural panache they put in. From the Dia De Los Muertos styled inhabitants to all the ruins and the ice deity as the boss! The only bad part about is how badly some parts of the lore are handled. For example, who is Knucklotec? Why didn't they give him a little context? Like someone mentioning him in-game. He appears everywhere, meaning he is extremely important to the inhabitants. But he gets destroyed. Nobody questions it. He was the guardian of the FRIGGIN' RING. Not even the guide mentions him. All the things we know about him are from the art book and that's it. Other than that, it's such a fun atmosphere to explore. I finished it 100% just for that. I absolutely adore the SeaSide Kingdom as well. I despise Metro Kingdom tho. Y'all can kill me now.
Ceave, when you showed the nominations for the worst kingdoms, the 3 kingdoms showed up on the screen in order: left, middle, right. And then the middle kingdom (Ruined) got chosen as the worst. But for the best 3 stages, you put them in the order middle, right, left. And the middle got chosen again. Did you switch up the order on purpose? Because you wanted the middle one to be chosen both times? Sneaky...
My favorite is seaside because the seascapes are beautiful and I love how the boss fight takes place around the whole kingdom instead of having a little sub area for the battle
I’m really glad someone else disliked the luncheon kingdom. It’s probably my least favorite because of the reshuffling of the layout and just the awkwardness of said layout in general.
Luncheon was my least favorite level that I didn't finish until the very end of the game. I hated how the whole area is full of lava and there was no easy way to recover from a mistake. I spent too much time falling in lava, not being able to get back to safety, and just waiting for Mario to die. It's really alienating to people who don't play games very often.
My favorite kingdom is the Wooded Kingdom. The rustic arcological aesthetics, the beautiful natural vista juxtaposed with the machinations, the sheer verticality and the different areas offering a slew of places and new discoveries while retaining their raw beauty, and the music echoing in the background for an oddly enjoyable if misplaced beach music. Really, the level is all over the place (pun definitely intended), and that's why I love it so much. There is nothing else quite like it for me, but Sand Kingdom and New Donk City are quite close. Now Snow Kingdom on the other hand... Hands down the absolute worst. Extremely boring, uninteresting palette and level design, nothing much to do, and very closed in without much personality to it. Had they gone with a full-scale sandbox Christmas-themed level, it could have been amazing, especially with how auroras and festive lights could have been implemented into the level's atmosphere. In terms of wide-open sandbox levels go, then Luncheon Kingdom is the worst in that regard. Very boring, uninteresting, and extremely disappointing considering the equally large levels that come before it.
The inconsistency between all the kingdoms is really just the strangest thing. Some are massive, and some are just boss arenas that get categorized as an entire kingdom for some reason. Some have a ridiculous amount of effort poured in to their atmosphere, and some are just absolutely bland. Some have really clearly planned structure, and some seem just haphazardly thrown together.
I am angry at the odyssey team for ruining ruined kingdom :'( it's so unique to a Mario game. New Donk City wins best, and sand kingdom wins second best.
@@theemblemhunter I feel like it's a half hearted excuse, honestly. Not everyone used community captions either, but they were essential to some. Even then, they still took it away. Maybe not so much an excuse as it is a stupid reason.
Hey Ceave I beat Mario Odyssey while only crouching. 100%ing is is impossible like this though, but I think Darker side of the moon is possible while waddling around.
The intro music, Shunshine music combined with Ceaves voice makes these videos very relaxing. Like a Podcast almost. I love them you can just put them on while playing a game or going for a walk or even just chilling in general, since the video itself *basically* is not required, just his voice really. Very good videos, well done
I personally really loved the atmosphere of Lost Kingdom, and the art style is super cute and appealing to look at too. For me that is the far best kingdom in game.
I’ve seen this video about two or three times, and I never noticed the “lava bubble being slow” point, but now that I have, I feel like I need to tell you that you can swim faster by holding Y (or shaking the controller i don’t remember which). I know it’s almost a year old, but just wanted to say it anyway.
Someday, Ceave will catch us all off guard and rate one really bad thing with five awful coins instead of one fuzzy.

This has to be one of my favorite videos by you. You rarely make videos about pure video game design, and this one is so well made. It’s polished, presents clear but intelligent analysis, and doesn’t shy away from criticizing design choices you disagree with. **please** make more videos like this. They are excellent.
Metro Kingdom: **Home to the song "Jump Up, Super Star"**
Ceave: **Chooses the Sand Kingdom as the best one**
This is incredibly *Odd to see*

OOOOOOOOH! I GOT IT!! Hehehheheheheehheeheheheh
@@megalampada2372 i dont get it, could you please explain
Bruh
odd to see Odyssey
my favorte is wooded i love the aesthetic and everything.. luncheon is my second favorite actually but i respect your opinion. sand is third its really good yeah
i find cloud the worst because it barely has anything going for it. ruined at least has some pretty interesting lore even if there was Nothing done with it
You said everything I thought about this video
Yes
Me too
That's why it hurts the most. The name is a little too literal.
Ceeve is just disappointed with ruined kingdom he wants to explore all the other towers
The sand kingdom gets 0 out of 5 fuzzies because it’s course, rough and gets everywhere
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
I actually hate sand. Dead serious. I can't move my toes without flinching
just like glitter, sand is an invasive species
I hate sand. It gets everywhere

“Cascade Kingdom is missing something at the top like a giant dinosaur skeleton.”
Literally the next shot shows the dinosaur skeleton that is at the top of Cascade Kingdom.
Ikr

It is missing something at the actual top. The skeleton is a small baby thing on the side that involves, like he mentioned, no platforming at all.

Speaking from my experience, I LOVED Snow Kingdom. I loved its different take on the formula, its citizens and would rate it a 5/5 fuzzies. Its my second favourite kingdom in the game after all.
What’s your first
I like the idea of the Snow Kingdom, but it was a disappointment
I do like the snow kingdom but it does lack a little bit of exploration
snow kingdom best
what a trash opinion
Ceave: “The Seaside Kingdom is home to my favorite capture: the gushen.
Oh my gush!”
*I see what you did there*
Not gonna lie, snow kingdom my favorite
I'm a sucker for winter/Christmas stages,and this gives me the winter vibe
I liked snow stages because there is no snow here so the only times I see snow is if Im outside of my country which doesnt happen a lot so at least I can see snow in the game
At the very least it has the best music.
What is your problem? :(
Cláudio Vieira ?
I live in North Dakota. I already live in the snow kingdom.
Switch the four fuzzy levels with the 5 fuzzy levels and I’m perfect with this list.
Bowser, Lost and Wooded just had so much atmosphere and fun, the best captures, the areas felt more dense and had a ton of variation to them and stuff hidden better. 4 stars > 5 stars for me.
4 fuzzys > 5 fuzzys
using your list, my least favorite of the kingdoms nominated is cloud. I always forget it exists until i need to fight bowser 1, and that speaks for everything. there is nothing to do, with, from what i recall, less than 10 total moons even with the moon rock. ruined is so aesthetically pleasing and surprising, i dont think anyone can forget it. Darker is safe due to the final challenge nature of it, mixed with all the feels in the beginning and end. excited going into it, and nostalgically sad leaving it.
also, "no platforming challenges built into seaside kingdom"? i dare you to play "the water is lava" and make a lap around the outer ring of islands surrounding the central glass. it is possible, and quite a fun self-imposed challenge.
So you dont wanna keep your fuzzys? I mean im not selfish, but giving a fuzzy away, is..... Fuzzys are the best thing and id wanna keep it.

I love the Wooded Kingdom for one major reason. It reminds me of Planet Wisp from Sonic Colours and Sonic Colours is actually the first ever videogame I remember playing, so it’s always held a special place in my heart.
Same here actually

Cappy when mario is dying in lava : "dead end I think"
Mario litterally dying : "YEAH I BELEIVE SO"
Wooded kingdom will always be my favorite because of its cool setting and chill ass surfer theme music
Honestly wooded kingdom was my favorite kingdom. It’s just so massive and sprawling. I can genuinely get lost and I love that feeling.
The deep woods was a total surprise. I had no idea it existed until I went back after beating the game. So I really enjoyed it as a secret, mysterious area.
Finally someone who likes the sand kingdom more than the metro
You only like sand kingdom because of "diversity"
I feel like the most interesting kingdom themes were the ones delegated to boss arenas. Like a ruined castle & clouds would’ve been cool level times if they were fully explored.

"Winged Goomba with Wings." Does he have wings? You really should clarify this.
Nah, I think it has very large wing-looking feathers
Again, it's a paragoomba
You should have said
"Excuse me for gushing about gushon
I think he did say "oh my gush".
I would still give wooded kingdom 5 fuzzies even though I have the deeper woods section but, ok... you do you
Bowsers kingdom is my favorite though. The atmosphere, the way you climb up, the peaceful island halfway with crazy cap, the way the music and atmosphere gets much more dynamic near the main courtyard entrance, the hakama plus the Luigi cap are my favorite outfit combination, and that’s easily my favorite. Also the ruined kingdom is in my top 3 kingdoms despite it being empty. I just love it so much. I don’t even play games like dark souls or games with this type of art style. Also I kinda hate sand kingdom. It was the most annoying to 100% and every time I started 100%ing it, I abandoned cuz it was just so annoying. For me, ruined is better.
@Breya Burgess except for the three coins that were on the edge of the map, finding the purple coins in sand wasn't bad, maybe even fun.
Haven’t watched the video yet but I expect “number of fuzzies in kingdom” to be a primary factor.
It is 🤓
You nailed the best stage. I told my friend right when I finished playing this game two years ago: "nothing quite lived up to the sand kingdom for the rest of the game"
sameeee :)
Man, I'm loving all the GameCube music, especially the SMS tracks. Sunshine is one of my all-time favorites.
Cap Kingdom: Small, yet simple. Each part is easily recognizable but also doesn’t feel boring.
Favorite Part: The Town
Least Favorite Part: Having to use the ParaGoomba a lot
Cascade Kingdom: Bigger, and a lot more fun. Great music, fun boss, and just great to find secrets in.
Favorite Part: Playing as a T-Rex
Least Favorite Part: The Small World Levels
Sand Kingdom: Amazing to explore in, many ways to get around, and very iconic.
Favorite Part: Tostarena Town
Least Favorite Part: The underground sections
Wooded Kingdom: More Compact, but still great to explore. Awesome combination of forest and factory.
Favorite Part: The well designed branching paths
Least Favorite Part: The Deep Woods
Lake Kingdom: Small, but still fun as no section feels unnecessary or slow.
Favorite Part: The Underwater Dome
Least Favorite Part: The frog poison mini level
Cloud Kingdom: Barren and also small. Lost potential for a fun sky level.
Favorite Part: Fighting Bowser
Least Favorite Part: Everything else
Lost Kingdom: Small, but still fun. The branching paths kept the kingdom from feeling too linear.
Favorite Part: The tropical wiggler
Least Favorite Part: The poison
Metro Kingdom: Every area is great to explore, fighting the MechaWiggler is awesome, and jumping on the roof tops is thrilling.
Favorite Part: The festival
Least Favorite Part: Jump Rope Challenge
Snow Kingdom: The town is cute, but the Main Land and Bound Bowl races aren’t fun.
Favorite Part: The town
Least Favorite Part: The Mainland
Seaside Kingdom: Waaay too many areas and isn’t fun to explore. Even the boss is just alright.
Favorite Part: The Beach House
Least Favorite Part: Swimming
Luncheon Kingdom: Amazing theme and fun to explore. The lava bubble capture is ingenious and all the areas are recognizable.
Favorite Part: The cooking Carnival
Least Favorite Part: The peak climb
Ruined Kingdom: Lost potential and way too small. No fun to revisit either.
Favorite Part: Fighting the Lord of Lightning
Least Favorite Part: Everything else
Bowser’s Kingdom: Great Theme and the linear design is great. Really builds up the final battle.
Favorite Part: Pokio
Least Favorite Part: The purple coins
Moon Kingdom: The mainland is kind of boring but the moon caverns and final battle are awesome.
Favorite Part: The ending
Least Favorite Part: The mainland feels too barren
Mushroom Kingdom: Great references and simple to get around in. The castle was awesome and playing as Yoshi was fun.
Favorite Part: The Mario 64 callbacks
Least Favorite Part: Toadette’s achievement moons
I mostly agree with everything, but my least favorite part of Seaside is the volleyball.
The Sand Kingdom is my favourite kingdom because I'm absolutely in love with all the cultural panache they put in. From the Dia De Los Muertos styled inhabitants to all the ruins and the ice deity as the boss!
The only bad part about is how badly some parts of the lore are handled.
For example, who is Knucklotec? Why didn't they give him a little context? Like someone mentioning him in-game.
He appears everywhere, meaning he is extremely important to the inhabitants.
But he gets destroyed. Nobody questions it. He was the guardian of the FRIGGIN' RING.
Not even the guide mentions him. All the things we know about him are from the art book and that's it.
Other than that, it's such a fun atmosphere to explore. I finished it 100% just for that.
I absolutely adore the SeaSide Kingdom as well.
I despise Metro Kingdom tho.
Y'all can kill me now.
Metro Kingdom is my favorite one!
Ceave, when you showed the nominations for the worst kingdoms, the 3 kingdoms showed up on the screen in order: left, middle, right. And then the middle kingdom (Ruined) got chosen as the worst. But for the best 3 stages, you put them in the order middle, right, left. And the middle got chosen again.
Did you switch up the order on purpose? Because you wanted the middle one to be chosen both times?
Sneaky...
there's a reason for that
if the lost kingdom was bigger, its be the best one, no doubt
imagine Boo Hoo's in this kingdom
I love watching videos rating how good are parts of a game that I've never played
Well then you need to get Odyssey!
My favorite is seaside because the seascapes are beautiful and I love how the boss fight takes place around the whole kingdom instead of having a little sub area for the battle
I’m really glad someone else disliked the luncheon kingdom. It’s probably my least favorite because of the reshuffling of the layout and just the awkwardness of said layout in general.
Luncheon was my least favorite level that I didn't finish until the very end of the game. I hated how the whole area is full of lava and there was no easy way to recover from a mistake. I spent too much time falling in lava, not being able to get back to safety, and just waiting for Mario to die. It's really alienating to people who don't play games very often.
@@Sanorace there is lava bubble/porta boo dude
I like seaside because you can easily travel in the air and underwater
Snow Kingdom should've been an instant 6 fuzzies because of the Shiverians

Sand Kingdom Review: Starts
Ceave: Starts playing Tee Hee Valley OST
I love you Ceave
My favorite kingdom is the Wooded Kingdom. The rustic arcological aesthetics, the beautiful natural vista juxtaposed with the machinations, the sheer verticality and the different areas offering a slew of places and new discoveries while retaining their raw beauty, and the music echoing in the background for an oddly enjoyable if misplaced beach music. Really, the level is all over the place (pun definitely intended), and that's why I love it so much. There is nothing else quite like it for me, but Sand Kingdom and New Donk City are quite close.
Now Snow Kingdom on the other hand... Hands down the absolute worst. Extremely boring, uninteresting palette and level design, nothing much to do, and very closed in without much personality to it. Had they gone with a full-scale sandbox Christmas-themed level, it could have been amazing, especially with how auroras and festive lights could have been implemented into the level's atmosphere. In terms of wide-open sandbox levels go, then Luncheon Kingdom is the worst in that regard. Very boring, uninteresting, and extremely disappointing considering the equally large levels that come before it.
The inconsistency between all the kingdoms is really just the strangest thing.
Some are massive, and some are just boss arenas that get categorized as an entire kingdom for some reason.
Some have a ridiculous amount of effort poured in to their atmosphere, and some are just absolutely bland.
Some have really clearly planned structure, and some seem just haphazardly thrown together.
I am angry at the odyssey team for ruining ruined kingdom :'( it's so unique to a Mario game. New Donk City wins best, and sand kingdom wins second best.
My rating:
* Hat: 3
* Fossil Falls: 4
* Dessert: 4
* Lake: 2
* Forest: 5
* Cloud: 1
* Lost: 3
* Metro: 5
* Snow Kingdom: 4
* Seaside: 3
* Lunch Kingdom: 2
* Ruined Kingdom: 2
* Bowsers Kingdom: 5
* Moon: 2
* Mushroom Kingdom: 5
* Dark Side and Darker Side: 1
I'd say, the winner is Forest.
When just talking about your three favourites, it's Metro.

Hey Ceave I beat Mario Odyssey while only crouching. 100%ing is is impossible like this though, but I think Darker side of the moon is possible while waddling around.
Snow kingdom sucks, and it was the first and mostly only kingdom I didn’t like playing, but I’ll be honest, the bouncy ball minigame is really fun.
Snow is good and your opinion is shit
The intro music, Shunshine music combined with Ceaves voice makes these videos very relaxing. Like a Podcast almost. I love them you can just put them on while playing a game or going for a walk or even just chilling in general, since the video itself *basically* is not required, just his voice really. Very good videos, well done
Wooded kind of reminds me of Ratchet and Clank series' typical level design.
true
I personally really loved the atmosphere of Lost Kingdom, and the art style is super cute and appealing to look at too. For me that is the far best kingdom in game.
Stages with Fuzzies should get an extra Fuzzy
I’ve seen this video about two or three times, and I never noticed the “lava bubble being slow” point, but now that I have, I feel like I need to tell you that you can swim faster by holding Y (or shaking the controller i don’t remember which). I know it’s almost a year old, but just wanted to say it anyway.
Ruined kingdom deserves at least two fuzzies! It is still just a boss fight kingdom, but it is infinitely better than cloud!
