The Genius of Super Mario Odyssey 

Hey! Wasn't entirely happy with this video a few weeks ago and decided to tackle Odyssey again to try and do it justice, as I felt this video didn't. Here's the think to the BETTER version of this video: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-7NYDQMbE_YU.html

This game made me want to become a game designer, and I'm pursuing my dreams to hopefully work at nintendo on mario games one day. Absolute masterpiece even to this day. It's like a magical feeling every time I play it

12:59 on my first play through of Odyssey, when I got to the castle, I remember thinking "wouldn't it be funny if I went to the wing cap stage like in Mario 64" and then immediately looked up, and when it gave me a star for that I literally laughed out loud because it was such a nice touch to include I thought.

Not only is this video so great with its points, but it highlights just how amazing this game is. Amazing work :D

People doesn't understand how important this game and Breath of the Wild were for Nintendo. After the Wii U failure this two games made the Switch launchement successful.

16:02 I just now remembered that there was a time when my little brother was so awestruck and mesmerized by the ending of this game that he actually began crying.

Every so often I come back to this game and fall in love all over again

This game gives me Sonic Unleashed vibes with the whole "globe trotting adventure" thing. And as someone whose favourite game ever is Sonic Unleashed, you can understand how much fun I have exploring this game

Im truly fascinated of how much effort did the company take for this game. Indeed, mario odyssey was supposed to SAVE the whole franchise, and eventually Nintendo too, that's probably why they cared so much in making the game groundbreaking

This game perfect. The nostalgia callbacks, level design, challenges, amazing music, and the true final level all culminates into masterpiece of a game.

16:13 That moment when you realize Bowser's size is canonically inconsistent... throughout the game Bowser's huge, and even during the part where you play as him Peach is small enough in comparison to ride on his shoulder. But meanwhile in the final cutscene he's suddenly only a little bigger than Mario.

MARIO ODDYSSEY IS 5 YEARS OLD ALREADY???? :O Man time flies....

Your channel is a hidden gem man, btw mario odyssey is just magic, i literally cried when i heard fossil falls song in cascade kingdom for the first time, cause i knew right there i was going to play a masterpiece

Started this last week. I’m blown away I went in a little skeptical whether a Mario game could suck me in like super Mario n64 did when I was a little kid now being 29 I wasn’t sure. But wow! I’m blown away it truly is an amazing work of art and I’m only just past the sand desert level 😂 my wife literally has to rip the switch out my hands otherwise I’d never leave the sofa. Amazing video too btw

I love all 3D Mario games especially since they’re a big part of my childhood but even as an adult when I played this game I had so much fun

i was so surprised when i left fullscreen and saw 1.4k views. you're underrated bro this was so entertaining

0:13 thank you for cropping the image so that my name is included

I just love how this game celebrates and rewards great movement and exploration. Like the massive pile of coins in the sand kingdom temple above the ring. Its those little things.

Aesthetically, the game is definitely a celebration of the whole series, but I was disappointed by the lack of platforming compared to the 2D games or 3D World. A defense often used is "This is a successor to 64 and Sunshine," but I seem to recall those games having a lot more platforming than this game, and with a lot more challenge.

wait wth do you have 3k subs, you’re incredibly underrated 😔

yooo the sunshine glasses and the skeleton body being specifically mentioned? that was my go to costume combo

Oh man this game is one of my favorite games ever made. I will admit it took me a little bit of time for this game to grow on me, but once it did I thought of this as treasure in the form of a video game. The only reason it took time for this game to grow on me is because I was a little overwhelmed by the throwbacks and yet again all the new and original stuff that I never expected to find in a Mario game and that took me a bit of time to process. That’s all. It’s like how when you get new shoes it sometimes takes a little time for you to break them in. By the way many moves when you talk about games with the most movement (which as of now this game is the one with the most movement by far) I will admit the 3D Mario games that came out between 64 and Odyssey have no moves to sneeze at. Super Mario Sunshine for example got rid of the long jump but it did have a spin jump so for that reason I’d say Mario has the same number of movements in that game for that reason not including the movements he can do with FLUDD. And Galaxy returns the long jump but instead of a dive he does the spin. He can also jump and spin in that game even though that’s no spin jump. Now 3D Land and 3D World I’m very disappointed with their lack of movements and the requirement of pressing a run button despite having a circle pad or control stick that can do more than the D-Pad. The run button in earlier games was to accommodated the fact that the D-Pad has no analogue feature. But this game. Now this game is just the value of a Ruby or a Diamond in the form of a video game. This game will go down in history as great art in the form of a video game.

I had this game a while ago, beat it just once and never went back for post game stuff, then sold it. I regret it, I think I’m going to buy it again and just enjoy it at my own pace and go into the post game

Now, about Mayor Pauline in "New Donk City", she was voiced by Kate Higgins during the Festival portion of the stage where she actually sings the Theme song of the game.

I discovered this channel a few days ago and I’m in love with it. Great stuff 👍. Subscribed.

Ground pound jump was in NSMBU, 3D Land, and 3D World. And roll was also in both 3D Land and World as well. But whatever I guess. Juat pointing that out.

Great video! I actually haven't really played Mario since SM64. I recently got a CRT and decided to play it again, and got an itch. Finally bought a Switch and SMO and I've been really enjoying the game. So much more to do than in SM64.

its just an amazing game

That flip and hat throw at the end of the game *chef's kiss*

Galaxy 1 & 2 are my two favorite games ever. The thing is, every 3D Mario except that thing on the Gamecube is in my top 15 favorite games ever. 3D Land even - I had a freaking blast playing that game. I simply don't enjoy most other games aside from Zelda as much as the rarely released 3D Mario title, and for good reason - they're masterpieces. Aside from that aforementioned Gamecube title.

5:47 why wouldn’t somebody want to look like a cool skeleton it’s simply the greatest thing to look like

8:34 I didn’t know about this method at all on my first play through, not even lying I used the leg things to climb up then stayed on top

this game literally make me cry. in the festival level i just remember growing up as a poor kid in the 90's, and that time what i wish more was play the new super mario game, the super mario world.

4:24 "F*#K PEOPLE"? Well that escalated quickly 😂

i for sure did not appreciate odyssey as much as i should have

this video deserves so much more views

There’s a reference to every Mario game in odyssey Super Mario bros: 2d sections Super Mario world: yoshi being a capture Super Mario 64: entire mushroom kingdom Super Mario sunshine: seaside kingdom plus sunshine outfit Super Mario galaxy: moon kingdom Super Mario 3d world: obstacles in levels (flipping platforms in luncheon)

I just bought this game today!! I was very late to the switch party and recently bought one for myself. I always loved playing Mario games growing up but it's been so many years since I played. Looks like I picked the right Mario game for switch to play first!

me as a dark souls fan i have to say you got me laughing hard after saying „crash landing in f**kin dark souls“

Break free leed is my favorite song EVER Mario odyssey is my favorite VIDEO GAME EVER

I love Odyssey but I prefer the Galaxy games.

I’m not sure why but I love the Lost Kingdom. It’s become my favorite of them all

October 27 2017 I was at the launch of the game at nyc I met Reggie I had a great time and I got the game on launch that was the only time I fully played through it not having anything spoiled and just watching the dragon and bowser battle go it was just magic and I knew odyssey was a weird game but in the best way

Actually is the 7th (8th if you count Mario 64 DS)

You did an amazing job making this video 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽💯

I’ve been a Mario fan since 1989 and have played well over 30 of the games in the series and I can comfortably say that Odyssey is the best work Nintendo has done with the series.

Loved the channel, new sub!

0:19 genius of the game but also bc there hasnt been another mario game release😂

I feel like it released a year ago

The thing that still makes odyssey inferior is the lack of punching and kicking

Super Mario Odyssey isn't a real breath of fresh air for the franchise. It's simply an evolution of the sandbox formula established in 64 and Sunshine.

Roll was in 3d land and world

I love this game so much

64 movement > odyssey movement ON GOD not being able to wallkick out of a long jump is such an L :/

The „sixth“ 3D Mario? I think you forgot either Galaxy 2 or 3DLand

15:21 - how so very ironic! Thanks for the spoiler warning.

4:05 4:48 oh wow he swore

The worst part about this game was the ending. Peach looked beyond ungrateful at the end and almost abandoned Mario

I like Odyssey alot but honestly prefer 3D World + Bowsers Fury. I think the Moon collecting got repetitive to me.

Excellent video!

Am not genius to play mario odyssey

I was so hyped for this game but ultimately, I didn't like it all that much. Collectathon Mario's just aren't for me. I much prefer Galaxy and 3d World.

I liked Galaxy 1 and 2 better tbh but this one is prty good :) it's quite long tbh

There's no way this game can be better than Super Mario Galaxy.

Good game but the galaxy series is the best of the mainline.

It's an decently good game and I respect your viewpoint but this title just has too much fluff to be truly amazing. Some core elements are cool but it's in the middle of the pack.

Positive comment

thanks for the spoiler warning

Another nintendo channel I can't watch with my daughter...

Why are you randomly swearing

Why do you gotta spoil the flowing dialog with cheap swear words?

its easy...thats why its popular

this game suuuuucks im sorry. i got to the dreadfully boring desert world and lost interest. theres so many moons i just dont care. there isnt any satisfaction in collecting them. it tries way too hard to be open world cuz ppl complained about the amazing galaxy 1 & 2 due to those games "being too linear hur duuur duuur!" The boring open worlds (that are inferior to 64 & sunshine btw) wouldnt be as bad if THE GAME WAS NOT SO DARN FREAKING EASY. Mario, in this game, is OVERPOWERED. the game completely lacks difficulty since mario can just absorb any enemy with cappy. like, how ppl like this game i dont understand.

Nah overrated game
