30 Things that Don't make Sense in Mario Odyssey 

Part 2 is Out Now! ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-RAx-cFJAtFQ.html

You see, mario can breath perfectly fine in space beacause there is no water in space which would prevent him from breathing

Also the interior of New Donk City Hall makes no sense structurally. It's just a hollow shell with no stairs or elevators; the only way up is through a few scant platforms and poles. Glad I don't work there. And no, this is not some wacky castle that Bowser built, this is an office building built for the people of New Donk City.

If I remember correctly, the map in Cloud Kingdom has a reason for the standing on clouds thing. They were some sort of different material I think.

The shadow below Mario is probably just to help with 3D perception. I think it debuted in Mario 64 when 3D hit

3:08 I never wanna see this again

At #17, there are 2 possibilities: The locals could utilize the warp paintings if they're in a kingdom that has one, or they could ride in/borrow from the kingdoms that do (like the Toad Brigade's shop ship or the airships in Cap Kingdom). (Also applies to Hint Toad, Peach, Luigi, etc.)

3:42 don’t worry him breathing in this IMPOSSIBLE place to breath in area carries over to the two Mario Kart 8 games where where every character breathes under water

For the needing moons to go to next kingdom ones, I believe that is the amount of fuel needed to discover the a new kingdom and map a route to go to it, that is why when you preview a kingdom through a painting, the Odyssey isn't there, because the location and the route to the kingdom isn't registered yet.

2:25 To be fair: Not all Toads are residents of the Mushroom Kingdom. And even if they are, they probably don't care too much because they have to be very adept at self-government by now...

About the bunny situation in Mario Odyssey, Undertale can relate. There's this one bunny in Undertale that has a normal-looking bunny on a leash by them, that the not normal bunny claims is related to them. One is a bunny "monster", while one bunny that's hooked onto a leash just looks like a normal bunny

Yoshiaki Koizumi (producer) said that Toad's mushroom is his head. The cartoons are not canon (as much as there is a Mario "canon"). Or maybe Toad just ripped part of his head off.

My full list of rebuttals for these: 1. The supports are supposed to be floating, because they are connected to the bridge, and are simply for decoration 2. The land on the other side was removed 3. The water isn’t deep enough 4. The odyssey is simply a universal being, that appears everywhere 5. The residents of Cap Kingdom are ghosts, because they died, so the ship was built before + Bowser destroyed the kingdom 6. Local currency is rarer, and they opened the shop before everyone disappeared(?) 7. Same reason you need money to pay for gas 8. My guess is that the odyssey only needs power for places it’s never been to, and the fastest route back is simply to take the route before, therefore saving energy; ALTERNATIVELY, the energy the moons created are built for different kingdom travelling 9. Toads’ ears are microscopicly small, like bugs, and the TV show is non-canon 10. The broodals broke the doors, duh 11. He has natural resistance to the space 12. The doorways to exit is really long, like the entrance to bring you back up 13. Peach is OP 14. Yoshi is tired of being ridden on also he can respawn indefinitely 15. Different materials 16/17/18. Again, the NDC’s roads are unfinished/were destroyed and yes the residents are stuck 19. Natural destruction, duh and the wires between kingdoms are to connect electricity 20.DIFFERENT SPECIES 21. The rooms were closed down 22. The question mark thing has magic 23. Invisible wires 24. Double shadows are due to lighting 25. Double shadows here are normal 26. The balloon is either a projection or it’s less dense enough to be passed through 27. Clouds blocking the bottom 28. SPECIES, THEY EXIST and Yoshi has always been able to eat mushrooms 29. There are multiple Luigis and Peaches 30. The motorcycle is made of a different material, and so are the gates

Here’s my ideas for why this stuff is in the game 1: The support is for decoration and has spikes to look edgy 2: The doors are simply for decoration and cant open 3: Maybe Mario only feels pain if his head feels it? Idk about this one 4: Odyssey has a autopilot mode that isn’t mentioned? 5: The chairs are for decoration or visitors that aren’t Bonnetons 6: Tourism 7: Moons are like gas, it costs money because it’s an energy source 8: The more moons you collect, the more power you have, so maybe some areas are farther away but since the last time you visited you collected so many moons that it isn’t a problem 9: The 2 spots on each side of his head are ears 10: The Wooded Kingdom has a opening for tourists, the Broodals broke in some how or bypassed security 11: Maybe this moon is diffrent from ours so it uses breathable oxygen 12: The cave is made differently so the gravity is different? 13: Peach likes to take risks 14: Mario never cared about Yoshi 15: Some platforms are made to look like clouds to blend in 16: Not sure about this one actually 17: The residents are just stuck or there is a transportation system such as flying taxi’s 18: They use the flying taxi’s OR the people live there lol 19: Internet?… 20: The Broodals are Mutated rabbits made by Bowser 21: Some doors are hidden so random people don’t go in 22: Cappy is too lazy to capture certain things 23: Invisible wires to make them less obvious 24: Mario is so chubby he leaves a shadow in shadows 25: The goombas feet make shadows?? 26: The odyssey is cheaply made 27: Floating Islands 28: Those are poisonous mushrooms 29: They secretly follow Mario around or they are illusions 30: They’re just cheap dumb scooters I have no idea why I made this comment these are just my assumptions. By the way, great video Infinite!

About double shadows, that's actually possible on certain lighting situations. Like, in the gym at the school I used to go to, due to how many lights and their placements in there, I casted two shadows while inside it. I don't think though, that the same situation can be applied to Mario Odyssey, so, you're correct it makes no sense

What's more impressive is that developers wanted you to fly through the balloon because you can see actual structure like metal.

4:18 dragon was brainwashed by bowser dragon good boy

3:35 Same In Sonic Games Tho

3:00 the tv show is NOT cannon to the mario universe that this game takes place

Another weird thing in Mario odyssey is that when cappy first turns into Mario’s hat, he magically knows to throw him and knows exactly how. 🤨

Here's another thing: When Mario captures, say a Goomba, how can enemies tell that it's him while characters like Toads think he's the real thing?

My theories for each of these: 1. Bowsers castle is on top of either a huge mountain or just a huge platform in the middle of nowhere, it’s so high up you can’t see below. The support beams for the bridge are just for decoration 2. New donk city’s main theme is construction, so they aren’t actually finished building the city. New donk city probably originated not long ago, so they are working to rebuild their city. 3. He is cold, but his entire body isn’t fully submerged in the water, the shallow parts of the water are warmer and once Mario goes farther, he starts to freeze due to the high temperatures 4. During the cutscene when you go to another kingdom, you can see mario and Cappy aren’t controlling the vehicle. The odyssey obviously has an autopilot mode, and mario or Cappy probably set some command to the odyssey telling it to go to the kingdom in the painting before they went in. 5. The residents of cap kingdom not only live in the odyssey’s, they also drive them. It would make sense that they have companies who sell odysseys to other residents of kingdoms, the chairs were probably invented for the people that bought the odyssey (considering many kingdoms local people have legs) 6. Green toad is probably stranded in lost kingdom, he transformed his odyssey into a shop, hoping to raise local money to return to mushroom kingdom 7. Yeah, peach is kidnapped. Still, that doesn’t mean that the toads can give away free stuff in the shop. It could lead them to being jobless. there is not many jobs to work in mushroom kingdom. They still need to raise money for their families. 8. The odyssey doesn’t need a certain amount of power to enter a certain kingdom, the odyssey doesn’t lose power so mario and Cappy could easily travel back to previous kingdoms. I think this whole “collect a certain amount of power moons” is just a goal Cappy is setting. The more power the odyssey has, the more faster it flys. So Cappy just wants to power up the odyssey to make their mission quicker. Imagine sailing across the ocean on a sail boat with half a sail, it would be like that if mario and Cappy did not collect power moons. It could also be an Exuse Cappy made so he can explore each kingdom. 9. The super mario bros super show is not cannon. Toads mushroom is part of his head. Like some animals, toad probably has some muscle inside his head that allows him to hear. 10. This one’s tough, I think mario and Cappy were let into the wooden kingdom by the locals, the broodals though, probably broke the dome by crashing into it. 11. In super mario galaxy, mario can also breathe in space, I think Rosalina is watching over him and adjusting the atmosphere so that he can breathe and save peach. This one confuses me, feel free to tell me your theories in the replies! 12. Once again, I don’t know. I think it’s Rosalina once again making sure mario doesn’t die on his journey to save the princess. 13. Bowser abandoned the dragon, I don’t think he cares since he isn’t being payed any more. I’m gonna keep updating this, so hopefully I awnser everything. Feel free to make fun of my opinion down in the reply’s 😀

4:07 the moon ain’t a planet bro

Man I've been waiting so long Mario Odyssey 2, I need it now. Also great vid!

6:07 The people in new donk city have cars with saiks on them that can fly. Im not kidding.

Congratulations on 1 million views!

Number 20 is like: why do monkeys exist. I mean… humans already exist so monkeys shouldn’t.

1:13 2:33 5:10 5:26 6:29 7:31 9:44 It makes the game function 4:25 Bowser controlled him throu the thing on his head that you break in the fight The dragon is NOT a minion

Something that doesn't make sense to me is how can mario literally jump on a hat and it still be fine but in the ending cutscene (spoilers alert) cappy can't lift up mario from falling in to bowser's pit trap.

Toad having a hat was actually retconned. Nintendo confirmed a few years ago that’s his head, not a hat. I still don’t know how he hears anything though.

I think the fact that you’re able to possess people is weird, because when you possess them, What happens to there soul? Does it just wait around until Mario decides to go and steal another persons body?

0:45 I think this is a pass. I could be wrong. But if where to stay still in the cold, you'll won't be too cold.

7:48 because it’s Bluetooth

5:09 the one you stood on is cloud, the one you fell through is fog (like from cap kingdom).

i think the fact in most mario titles that when Mario touches lava he insta dies, yet in Odyssey , he just bounces up and is like is but is on fire

Maybe it might have to do with how many moons there are in the game. (Really the only flaw. This game is beautiful!)

I have always wondered if there is like a secret civilization under all of the landscapes full of people or things that fell off

The taxis in the Metro Kingdom just drive around in circles. They don't even stop to pick up passengers. What kind of business are they running?

Heres something that dosent make sense: Why cant you see any stars in Moon Kingdom? You can see stars in places like Dark Side, Darker Side, and Lake Kingdom so its not like stars dont exist in SMO. In kingdoms like Cap, Sand, Wooded, Metro, Snow, and Ruined you cant see any stars but thats probably just because of the clouds blocking the way, or in Sand's case its just not late enough at night. But in Moon Kingdom there are no clouds to block any stars.

This series is awesome! I’d love to see it continue with games like Splatoon, monster hunter rise, and Metroid dread

I believe that for 21, that Bowser used the magic of the Power Stars to modify Peach's Castle in order to hide the power stars. Odyssey is what the inside of the castle should look like. Just my little theory though.

As stated by Shigeru Miyamoto, Toads mushroom head is apart of his body. The TV show is not canon to the actual games.

Answer 8: The Odyssey does not use moons in the same way a rocket in our world uses fuel. Rockets in our world burns the fuel and uses the energy from that reaction to propel the rocket forward. So once all the fuel is burnt out, you can't go forward anymore. The Odyssey puts the moons in some sort of reactor, and both the energy and the physical products of this reaction are used to physically strengthen the sail of the ship permanently. And since the density of the atmosphere is slightly higher in the next world compared to that of the last, you need the sail of your Odyssey to be stronger each time you want to reach the next world. So it's not that the energy from burning the moons makes you go forward like they do in our rockets (since that would mean you'd need more moons just to backtrack to previous worlds like you said). It's that the materials and energy generated from burning the moons in the reactor allows you to physically strengthen your sail permanently which means you can now fly to further away worlds with denser atmospheres and back whenever you wish. You would only need more moons if you want to go even further away since you would then need to have an even stronger sail since the atmosphere would be even denser.

5:58 you forgot about that flying taxi here

honerable mentino at 3:30 the residintes of metro kindon are NOT GETTING FROM THE HELMET you need a suit to breat on space not just a helmet?😤

8:12 well you see, the further the object thats blocking the sun has weaker shadows, because of light reflecting on certain objects. And because the part of you is closer to the ground than the rock, it has stronger shadows

Why can't the octopuses dive? They're octopuses! And why can you reach as many places with 999 moons as with 500? Shouldn't the potential be twice as high?

9:48 Luigi used his balloon.

“Alright I’m off work” “Okay bye bro” “See ya” “Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh” “Bro you okay”😅

1. What happened to the fuel in the motorcycles, oddesy and the cars in the metro kingdom? Is there a secret petrol station or something? 2. Also what do people eat in oddesy like the only time we EVER see food in oddesy is in the luncheon kingdom, how do people in metro travel to luncheon and back to get food?

8:17 the way he said that sentence is just so funny to me 😂

I love this series please make a part two

"There's a giant dome around the entire map" Yeah, it's called a skydome.

1:06 I like that you just don't mention going through a painting

1:23 Pretty sure there is auto-pilot as the cutscenes of Mario and Cappy sailing through the Odyssey, but teleportation???

2:51 it must be the distance increasing between kingdoms (for example, sand is closer to cascade than lake/wood)

This entire vid sums up one word: SUPERNATURAL

The doors in wooded kingdom must’ve been an automatic door

The shadow thing is because light reflects off of other surfaces, casting indirect light, and Mario makes a second barrier, diffusing the light even more.

1: new donk city is built on water 2: there are flying taxis (for some reason)

i know why you cannot ride Yoshi. Mario punches his head to get Yoshi's tongue out.

Love the videos!

2:30 I know it seems weird that you can fly back with no power but the reason you can do that is the moons make the sail they aren't fuel.

All facts explained 1 maybe it's Minecraft:D 2 the suicide way 3 it's not the water it's the nipples 4 it's always there 5 it's just there to be fancy 6 well makes more money:) 7 peach more like 💰 money 8 it's more far from the ones you have 9 don't think about it 10 they broke it obviously 11 Mario is not human 12 it's underground:) 13 she does not care 14 show off 15 they look different 16 it's a clone 17 they were born here and be here forever 18 same as 17 19 for Mario:D 20 dark magic Bowser dark magic 21 it's DLC 22 they don't like it 23 cheap ships 24 a 2 sub world 25 that's Mario's 26 it's not solid 27 underworld 28 1 ups are not in this game 29 he explained it 30 it's a scam duh 🙄

About the breath on the moon thing IF you go out of a door/pipe that leads into water and dont move at all he can apparently breath underwater

For the cloud one it says in the game that's it is made of some unexplained metal

Toad with his “hat” off has scarred me for life

4:30 it says that dragon is actually female on the map.

You call a princess being kidnapped by a God damn turtle normal?! Hogwash!

I think that Nintendo said that the Toads have big mushroom heads and that they don't wear hats! And they didn't make any of the 'Super Mario' cartoons! XD

6:45 What if the bunnies have moons or some other kind of powerful thing or have they eaten/drank something?

6:59 They should of used Bowser Jr & the Koopalings instead.

Bro, there are fire breathing turtles, dragons, mushroom people, and giant rabbits, what did you expect?

Did you have a closer look at the water and lava in this game? In Lake Kingdom, the water just stops at the dome even tho there are holes in it. But in the pit in said dome (where you find Captain Toad at the bottom) it's suddenly there again. And in Luncheon Kingdom.. The liquid appears to be hot but looks like bubblegum. And it just seems to float in the air in the weirdest shapes in some places. Walking seaweed. Period. Some plants need water to grow, others grow on their own without any care.

31: how peach can change her dresses super fast when you go in a loading zone in the mushroom kingdom?

This is the first time I have ever seen a video from you and I thought the channel thumbnail slightly moved 😱😱

Nintendo has gone on record that 1. The tv show isn't canon 2. Toads don't wear hats

“Now you can make him jump off by himself, that’s just” *BROODAL*

To be fair the Glydon can apparently talk in Lost Kingdom, so maybe he is can buy stuff at the shop?

All this weirdness makes me really appreciate the physics of Mario's universe lol

Actually, Nintendo confirmed it is his head, not a hat. Seems like they changed their mind after disregaurding Mario cartoons entirely. It would be funny if it was though, considering it's the "cap" of the muahroom

It's like Animal Crossing: New Horizons. You talk to human sized animals, including human sized birds but you can buy a bird cage with a normal size bird in it. Mmmm.

The mutated bunny's could be hiring the little bunny's to hide the moons so that mario couldn't find the moons.

Luigi has a balloon, so he can fly. Off camera i bet it takes mario 1-15 hours, giving luigi time to get to the destination.

That no. 14 though. Now you can just make Yoshi walk off the cliff to his doom.

hear me out, Peach and Tiara travel together, Tiara is the same species as cappy and their species has flying hats (odessey's) maybe Peach also has an odessey not shown to the viewer

"he might be a superhuman" he is! he can eat a fire flower and use its power, eat a mushroom to get big, AND HE HAS A SAUSAGE ON HIS FACE

Mario can't breathe underwater, but he can breathe in space because there is no water in the way.

3:02 ah yes, the *Super Mario Bros. Super Show.* the most accessible thing we’ve ever seen of mario. Just gonna ignore the fact that bowser is king koopa, the koopalings have different names, and a whole bunch of inaccuracies? People just see this one image and instantly believe it.

Since nobody else seems to have said it: No, toad isn't wearing a hat. That misconception was cleared up years ago.

1: the Mario cartoons aren’t canon 2: Nintendo’s confirmed that that’s Toad’s head

The TV show is non-canonical, that is in fact Toad's head. I assume he just senses the vibrations through it directly into his brain instead of needing ears.

7:19 My Theory is that Peach thought that these paintings in the room were too dangerous so they Removed the doors.

Mollesque lancuer’s (octopus guy) second fight. Like what’s with the Evaporation on those clouds. The squirty things can refill using them, WITHOUT EVEN TOUCHING EM.

What doesn’t make sense is you can have all 40 or more outfits but the closet is so small

HE SAID IMPOSTER AT 9:53

Boy it's cap toads not wearing a mushroom hat on!

Mario can breath on the moon because Rosalina gave him the ability to survive in space. It is said that he kept this ability even after Super Mario Galaxy despite the luma leaving. That is not confirmed, just a simple explanation. Mario did actually need a spacesuit back in Super Mario Land 1 (or 2, I don’t remember) where he went to space

Asking how Mario can breathe in space is like asking how sonic can breathe in space

12 YOU ARE closer to the core. Mario has to climb/take a pipe to reach the surface of the moon again
