'''''Super Mario Odyssey''''' is an upcoming platform game for the [[Nintendo Switch]] set to release on October 27, 2017.<ref>http://www.ign.com/articles/2017/06/13/e3-2017-super-mario-odyssey-release-date-announced?utm_source=zergnet&utm_medium=Web&utm_campaign=Zergnet_1782972</ref> It is the sixteenth title in the ''[[Super Mario (series)|Super Mario]]'' series, the seventh original 3D ''Mario'' title, the eighth 3D ''Mario'' title overall, and the sixth 3D ''Mario'' title on a home console after ''[[Super Mario 3D World]]''. The game has [[Mario]] leaving the [[Mushroom Kingdom]] to reach an unknown open world-like setting, like ''[[Super Mario 64]]'' and ''[[Super Mario Sunshine]]''. This new world has been stated to bear resemblances to the [[Earth|real world]]<ref name="Nintendo Switch Presentation 2017">Nintendo. (January 13, 2017). [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5kcdRBHM7kM Super Mario Odyssey - Nintendo Switch Presentation 2017 Trailer]. ''Youtube''. Retrieved January 13, 2017.</ref>.

The game's story will involve Mario preventing a forced marriage of [[Princess Peach]] to [[Bowser]].<ref name=E32017 />

==Gameplay==
Unlike recent 3D titles such as ''[[Super Mario Galaxy]]'' and ''[[Super Mario 3D World]]'', which were more focused on platforming, ''Super Mario Odyssey'' will return to the explorative open-world gameplay seen in ''Super Mario 64'' and ''Super Mario Sunshine'', where Mario will explore various areas in order to collect [[Power Moon]]s. Mario will maintain his moveset from previous 3D titles, including the [[Long Jump (move)|Long Jump]], [[Roll]], [[Ground Pound]], [[Spin Jump]], the [[Triple Jump]] and the [[Dive]], the last of which hasn't appeared since ''Super Mario Sunshine''. In addition, a new character called [[Cappy]] allies with Mario, and takes possession of his cap. Mario can throw Cappy as if he were a [[boomerang]], and it can also "[[capture]]" certain objects and enemies to take control of them.

Mario's life meter also returns with three health, similar to ''[[Super Mario Galaxy]]''. Additionally, there does not appear to be any [[Life|lives]], as Mario will instead lose ten [[Coin]]s upon dying. There will also be a new [[amiibo]] line based on ''Super Mario Odyssey'', with a formal Mario, Princess Peach, and Bowser, which will unlock more costumes. Other lines are also confirmed to be compatible.<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gA_OOasVK80</ref>

Co-op mode is also confirmed, with player one controlling Mario and player two controlling Cappy.<ref name="E3 2017 Co-Op Demo">Nintendo. (June 15, 2017).

===Kingdoms===

Currently, there are six known locations, which are known as '''Kingdoms'''<ref name="Kingdom map"/>. Each kingdom will be based on a real-world location (e.g. Metro Kingdom's main area, New Donk City, is based on "New York City"). Bowser will be after various items in each of the kingdoms, which all tie to his preparations for his wedding.

Nintendo has stated that there are more Kingdoms that haven't been revealed yet.<ref>https://twitter.com/mario_odysseyJP/status/874778653212631040</ref>

==Development==
[[File:3D Mario Infograph.jpg|thumb|right|250px|Official infograph showing the recognized difference between the progression-oriented, and the more sandbox-exploration style of the 3D [[Super Mario (series)|''Super Mario'' series]]. Or as put by Miyamoto, "casual" and "core" games. ''Super Mario Odyssey'' is considered to be the latter.]]
As part of the "[[Treehouse]] Live" event on January 13, 2017, [[Shigeru Miyamoto]] was hosted as a special guest, and interviewed for the ''Super Mario Odyssey'' segment.<ref>NinEverything. (January 13, 2017). [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QmV1JY4Tl9o Miyamoto on Super Mario Odyssey - Nintendo Treehouse Live with Nintendo Switch]. ''YouTube''. Retrieved January 15, 2017.</ref> When asked about "coming home" to the ''[[Super Mario 64]]'' and ''[[Super Mario Sunshine]]'' style of gameplay, Miyamoto explained that when he was developing ''Super Mario 64'' with [[Yoshiaki Koizumi]], they realized that the title would be more directed towards the "core gamer", rather than the casual, pick-up-and-go gamer. After ''Super Mario Sunshine'', their focus reshifted to more accessible, casual gamers, hence encouraging them to make ''[[Super Mario Galaxy]]''.

<blockquote>
Then in recent years, we made ''[[Super Mario 3D World]]'' and even though that's a 3D game, it's a little more accessible to everybody. And so speaking of casual gamers, we have ''[[Super Mario Maker]]'' out, and we also have ''[[Super Mario Run]]''. So when we thought about making a ''Mario'' for Switch, we wanted to make it [...] something a little bit more on the core side, that people who like action games can really get into.
</blockquote>

Miyamoto discussed how the 3D camera in ''Super Mario 64'' worked very well, as it had the joystick as well as the C buttons to adjust the automatic camera. ''Super Mario Sunshine'' had the C stick in order to "control the camera freely", although they received feedback that the camera control was "a little bit difficult". With later 3D titles such as ''Super Mario Galaxy'', the minimal control of the camera also attracted some negative feedback. Miyamoto added that it's "very difficult to find the right balance".
 
<blockquote>
With ''Super Mario Odyssey'', we made sure that the camera controls are really really smooth and easy to use, and the Switch controllers can really serve to that. [We] really made a sandbox-style game that's really easy and feels good to control.
</blockquote>

With all the different ideas that Miyamoto received from other, "younger" developers and programmers, some actually worried him about how well Mario would "fit in" to these different worlds, although he was "open minded" to all ideas that were presented. Miyamoto also sought more senior developers and staff teams who had been involved in past 3D ''Mario'' titles, such as Yoshiaki Koizumi, in order to really "go back to the roots" of ''Super Mario Sunshine''.

==Vocal Theme: Jump Up, Super Star!==

==References to other games==
*''[[Donkey Kong (game)|Donkey Kong]]'': The location New Donk City looks to be a throwback to Mario's early origins as Jumpman. There are steel girders that resemble the ones seen in this game, and the taxi cabs have license plates reading "1981-ND", referencing the year Mario and Donkey Kong made their debut. The name New Donk City is also a reference to Donkey Kong himself. Pauline can also be found here, who originated from this game. The melody from the [[25m]] theme can be heard halfway through the vocal theme song. The bassist can also be heard playing the 25m theme when Mario first finds him.<ref> RogersBase. (June 15, 2017).

*''[[Mario's Picross]]'': The Explorer Hat and Explorer Outfit originates from this game.
*''[[Super Mario 64]]'': The structure of the kingdoms in ''Odyssey'' carry-over what was established in ''64'', such as the lack of a time limit and having areas change each time the player visits them, based on what the player previously completed. ''Super Mario Odyssey'' is considered a spiritual successor to both ''Super Mario 64'' and ''Sunshine''. Mario relies on a [[Health Meter]] rather than [[Mushroom]]s. ''64'' first introduced utilizing variations of [[Mario's Cap]] as [[power-up]]s. The number on Mario's football jersey is "64".
*''[[Super Mario Sunshine]]'': ''Super Mario Odyssey'' is the first 3D main series game since ''Super Mario Sunshine'' to feature open sandbox-style levels, as well as Mario's [[Dive]] move. Additionally, Mario can once again sidle while grabbing on a ledge. Mario retains his [[Spin Jump]] move as well.
*''[[Super Mario Galaxy]]'': The animation of Mario and Cappy getting a [[Grand Moon]] is similar to Mario getting a [[Grand Star]] in this game. The low health buzzer sound also plays when Mario is low on health. The [[Ground-Pound Switch]]es that first appeared in this game also reappear. [[Captain Toad]], together with the Toad Brigade theme<ref name="Comic Con">[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qb7VhfZcA7g]</ref>, appears in the game.

*''[[Super Mario 3D World]]'': Some of the elements and sound effects are reused in this game. [[Cat Mario]]'s [[Costume Mario]] sprite from ''Super Mario Maker'' can be seen on the side of one of the skyscrapers in New Donk City and a building in Tostarena, and [[Cat Peach]]'s sprite can be seen behind the right black-colored wall in the New Donk City Auditorium. Captain Toad's design in ''Super Mario Odyssey'' was first introduced in this game.
