Nintendo switch: Super Mario Odyssey

Description

Embark on a “sharp,” globe-trotting 3D adventure that redefines the platforming genre in Super Mario Odyssey for the Nintendo Switch. In this grand sandbox-style journey—the first of its kind since Super Mario 64 and Super Mario Sunshine—Mario leaves the Mushroom Kingdom behind to rescue Princess Peach from Bowser’s most devious wedding plans yet. Accompanied by his new ally, Cappy, Mario gains the incredible “Capture” ability, allowing him to take control of enemies, objects, and even a massive T-Rex! From the realistic skyscrapers of New Donk City to the vibrant sands of the Tostarena desert, every kingdom is packed with hidden Power Moons, unique costumes, and surprising secrets that reward curious players at every turn.

• The Power of Cappy—Use Mario’s new companion to perform brand-new moves like the Cap Throw, Cap Jump, and the game-changing Capture. Throw your hat at a Bullet Bill to fly across gaps, or capture a Spark Pylon to travel through power lines.

• Massive Sandbox Kingdoms—Explore diverse, open-world environments filled with life and detail. Each kingdom features its own unique currency (Purple Coins) used to buy region-specific outfits and souvenirs to decorate your ship, the Odyssey.

• Classic Meets Modern—Experience seamless transitions from 3D exploration into 8-bit retro stages. Step into a pixelated pipe to play classic 2D platforming sections that wrap around the 3D environment for a nostalgic twist.

• Snapshot Mode—Freeze time and become a virtual photographer. Use a variety of “sharp” filters, stickers, and camera angles to capture your favorite moments, then share them directly to your smartphone or social media.

• Two-Player Co-op—Share the fun by passing a Joy-Con to a friend. One player controls Mario’s movements while the second player takes full control of Cappy, acting as a sentient shield and an extra pair of hands to collect items.

• Assist Mode for All Ages—Enjoy a more relaxed experience with Assist Mode, which provides extra health, guided arrows to objectives, and protection from falling off stages—perfect for younger players or those new to 3D platformers.
