'''''Super Mario Odyssey''''' is a platforming game for the [[Nintendo Switch]] released 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 eighteenth title in the ''[[Super Mario (series)|Super Mario]]'' series and the sixth 3D ''Mario'' title on a home console after ''[[Super Mario 3D World]]''. The game has sandbox-like elements and revolves around [[Mario]] exploring [[Earth]]-based settings, similar to ''[[Super Mario 64]]'' and ''[[Super Mario Sunshine]]'', with his new partner, [[Cappy]]. Unique to this game, Mario is able to throw Cappy onto certain enemies and objects, allowing Mario to [[Capture|take control of them]]. Mario can also dress in different costumes, several being based on previous games.

The game allows for two-player co-op, allowing a second character to use a single Joy-Con to control Cappy independently from Mario. The game also has online functionality, which allows players to compare their times/scores in certain events. In addition, [[amiibo]] can be used to unlock certain costumes early as well as obtain free hints towards the locations of [[Power Moon]]s and [[regional coin]]s.

==Story==
[[File:SuperMarioOdyssey_story01.png|thumb|left|upright=1.1|Mario encounters Bowser on his airship.]]
Beginning "in the skies above [[Peach's Castle]]," Mario and [[Bowser]] are seen fighting one another on Bowser's [[airship]], with [[Princess Peach]] on board as well. Bowser punches the ground as Mario jumps backward. Bowser jumps at Mario and shoots fire at him, which misses. Bowser then throws his hat at Mario, which misses while knocking [[Mario's Cap|Mario's cap]] off his head, and then turns around, hitting Mario, sending him flying. Bowser then takes his airship towards the skies, as he prepares a forced marriage to Peach. He leaves Mario's cap adrift into the ship's back propellers, shredding it in the process. A piece is obtained by a [[Bonneter]] named Cappy, who eventually finds Mario in Bonneton, located in the [[Cap Kingdom]].

[[File:SuperMarioOdyssey_story02.png|thumb|upright=1.1|Mario meets Cappy.]]
Afterward, Cappy pokes Mario. Mario wakes up, surprising Cappy, and catches up with him after he flees. Then Cappy introduces himself and explains to Mario that Bowser not only had attacked the kingdom, destroying its airship armada, but had also kidnapped [[Tiara]], Cappy's sister, using her as Peach's wedding headdress. Mario and Cappy team up to stop Bowser's plans and save both Peach and Tiara, and using the piece he collected, Cappy transforms into the Mario Cap, allowing Mario to use Cappy's abilities. Cappy also informs Mario that they may be able to find a usable airship in the next kingdom, accessible from the Top Hat Tower. However, upon reaching the top, Mario is encountered by the [[Broodals]], who were hired by Bowser as his wedding planners. After defeating one of the Broodals, named [[Topper]], Mario and Cappy use a [[spark pylon]] to travel to Fossil Falls of the [[Cascade Kingdom]], where they find the airship, named the [[Odyssey]], which uses [[Power Moon]]s as energy to travel. Soon after, Mario and Cappy find and defeat [[Madame Broode]], the boss of the Broodals, and her [[Chain Chomp]]. Using the power of the [[Multi Moon]] obtained from Madame Broode, the Odyssey is ready for sail, and Mario and Cappy use it to chase after Bowser and the Broodals.

[[File:Mario vs Bowser Odyssey.png|thumb|left|upright=1.1|Mario and Cappy confront Bowser in the Nimbus Arena.]]
Mario and Cappy travel through several kingdoms. After going through Tostarena of the [[Sand Kingdom]], Lake Lamode of the [[Lake Kingdom]], and the Steam Gardens of the [[Wooded Kingdom]], they encounter and defeat Bowser in the Nimbus Arena of the [[Cloud Kingdom]]. Bowser then shoots at the Odyssey, causing it to crash and land in the Forgotten Isle of the [[Lost Kingdom]]. 

[[File:Ruined Dragon Encounter.png|thumb|upright=1.1|Bowser prepares to attack the Odyssey again with the Ruined Dragon.]]
After Mario rescues Cappy from a [[Klepto]] and collects more Power Moons to restore the Odyssey, they travel through New Donk City of the [[Metro Kingdom]], Shiveria of the [[Snow Kingdom]], Bubblaine of the [[Seaside Kingdom]], and Mount Volbono of the [[Luncheon Kingdom]]. They then attempt to enter [[Bowser's Castle]] in [[Bowser's Kingdom]]; however, they are encountered by Bowser before they get there. Instead of fighting Mario and Cappy, Bowser orders the [[Ruined Dragon]] to attack the Odyssey. This causes the ship to fall to Crumbleden of the [[Ruined Kingdom]], where Mario and Cappy directly fight and defeat the Ruined Dragon. After restoring the Odyssey again, they finally go to Bowser's Castle and find Bowser with Peach. Bowser reveals that he plans to hold his wedding on the [[moon]], and leaves Mario and Cappy to fight the Broodals in the [[RoboBrood]]. 

[[File:Mario in the Wedding Hall.png|left|thumb|upright=1.1|Mario breaks into the Wedding Hall.]]
Mario and Cappy destroy the RoboBrood, sending the Broodals flying as they recover another Multi Moon. They then head off to Honeylune Ridge of the [[Moon Kingdom]] to stop the marriage between Bowser and Peach. They interrupt the wedding as Bowser is attempting to put the [[Binding Band]] that was previously stolen from Tostarena on Peach. Bowser then stomps the floor, revealing a trapdoor under Mario and Cappy. Cappy grabs Mario by the fingers and tries to pull him out of the trapdoor, but his hands slip, causing him to drop Mario and fall into it himself. Bowser jumps in after them and engages them in battle, but he is defeated. Mario, Cappy, Peach, and Tiara are reunited but soon discover that the area they are in is collapsing. Mario uses Cappy to capture Bowser and escape, with all of them eventually returning to the moon. Mario and Bowser then simultaneously propose to marry Peach, with Mario offering a [[Rocket Flower]] and Bowser offering a [[Soirée Bouquet]]. However, Peach rejects them both and leaves with Cappy and Tiara. Mario and Bowser get upset, but Peach then calls from the Odyssey, saying, ''"Let's go home!"'' As the ship takes off, Mario and Bowser run after it. While Mario successfully jumps on it, he stomps on Bowser, leaving Bowser stuck on the moon.

[[File:SMO Bowser VS Mario Impressing Peach.png|thumb|upright=1.1|Mario and Bowser fight for Princess Peach's approval.]]
The Odyssey later lands in the [[Mushroom Kingdom (Super Mario Odyssey)|Mushroom Kingdom]] near Peach's Castle, where Cappy says that he enjoyed the adventure and wishes to continue traveling with Mario to collect more Power Moons. They do so, going through the Mushroom Kingdom, as well as Rabbit Ridge of the [[Dark Side|dark side of the moon]] and Culmina Crater of the [[Darker Side|darker side of the moon]] in the process. Meanwhile, Peach and Tiara travel the kingdoms on Peach's "own terms," while finding Power Moons themselves that they give to Mario when he meets up with them.

==Gameplay==
''Super Mario Odyssey'' returns to the explorative sandbox-like gameplay seen in ''Super Mario 64'' and ''Super Mario Sunshine'', where Mario explores various areas in order to collect Power Moons to power the Odyssey airship to fly from kingdom to kingdom. There is no central hub world, as the Odyssey is rather used to move from one location to the others. Mario maintains his moveset from previous 3D titles, including the [[Triple Jump]], the [[Long Jump]], the [[Side Somersault]], the [[Backwards Somersault]], the [[Roll]], the [[Ground Pound]], the Ground Pound Jump, the [[Spin Jump]], and the returning [[Dive]]. 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]] for a long-range attack. He can use Cappy as an extra platform to bypass obstacles, use Cappy in conjunction with his dive move to cross large distances, and also use Cappy to "capture" certain objects and enemies to take control of them, replacing the traditional power-up system seen in the previous ''Super Mario'' games since ''[[Super Mario Galaxy]]''. There are 52 capturable targets in total.<ref>https://m.imgur.com/kvntP40</ref> 

The game also features a co-op mode. During this mode, the second player as Cappy automatically hovers over the first player's head until they press the {{button|ns|Left}} button, where they gain independent movement, where they act as an animate [[Cap Throw]]. When the second player is hovering over the first player's head, they can move the stick on their Joy-Con to move Cappy 360 degrees. When the second player is hovering over the first player's head, the first player can still perform all actions with Cappy as in normal gameplay; however, they cannot perform these actions when the second player is not hovering above them. If the second player, while being independent of the first player, presses the {{button|ns|Left}} button again, they will automatically travel back to the first player's head until they press the {{button|ns|Left}} button again. The camera follows the first player in this mode, and due to this, the second player can fly only a certain distance away from the first player until they are stopped by an invisible wall. When the first player walks a certain distance away from the second player, the second player will be pushed towards the first player.

Mario's life meter also returns with three health, similar to in ''Super Mario Galaxy''. Additionally, there are no [[Extra life|lives]] (and, by extension, [[1-Up Mushroom]]s and [[Game Over]]s) in the game, making this the only 3D ''Mario'' game not to feature them, as Mario instead loses ten [[coin]]s upon dying. The coins that Mario collects serve as currency. There are two types of coins—global yellow coins, which can be found and used in any kingdom, and purple [[regional coin]]s, which are different in every kingdom and can be used only in the kingdom they were found in. Mario can spend his coins at the [[Crazy Cap]] stores to buy items for the Odyssey and costumes. [[amiibo]] support includes Mario, Peach, Bowser, and a new character called [[Uncle amiibo]], which unlocks more costumes, including ones based on [[Luigi]], [[Wario]], [[Waluigi]], and [[Diddy Kong]];<ref>https://www.nintendo.co.jp/hardware/amiibo/chart/index.html</ref> others reveal Power Moon locations on the map, though the latter four amiibo also do that before unlocking the costumes. This is also the case for the new "wedding" variants of the former three amiibo.

The game features a "[[Snapshot Mode]]," where players can suspend the game with {{button|ns|down}} and take screenshots. Players are also able to alter the shot by zooming in and out, tilting the camera for a vertical shot, or applying one of several filters, such as blurring the surroundings, adding a sepia tone, changing the camera to a fisheye lens, or applying an [[Nintendo Entertainment System|NES]]-, [[Game Boy]]-, or [[Super Nintendo Entertainment System|SNES]]-styled color scheme.

''Super Mario Odyssey'' is playable in 13 languages: English, European French, Canadian French, German, European Spanish, Latin American Spanish, Italian, Dutch, Russian, Japanese, Simplified Chinese, Traditional Chinese, and Korean.

===Balloon World===
[[File:Mario with Balloon SMO.jpg|thumb|Mario hiding a balloon in the Cascade Kingdom]]
{{main|Balloon World}}
Balloon World is a minigame similar to {{wp|hide-and-seek}} that was added to ''Super Mario Odyssey'' in a free update released on February 21, 2018. In order to play, Mario must find [[Luigi]] in a kingdom and talk to him to begin. Mario is given a balloon that he can hide in spots around the kingdom for other players to find. Mario can also find balloons that other players around the world have already hidden. There is a time limit for placing and finding the balloons.

==Enemies==
Certain enemies will wear different gear depending on the area they are found in. Enemies whose use is mandatory to advance, such as capturable enemies, respawn shortly after getting defeated or after being captured. De-capturing an enemy leaves it in a short dizzy state, which offers the player another chance to capture it before it disappears and respawns at the place it was first encountered.

|A prehistoric giant found in either very dark or sunny areas. Though a few exemplars are harmless as they are always sleeping (and can be captured immediately), others roam around a set path, chasing Mario down when they spot him. In order to stun a T-Rex, it has to be lured into a large wall or tree as it charges at Mario, leaving it dizzy and ready to capture. While captured, the T-Rex can be used to effortlessly rampage through fossil blocks and large numbers of enemies. The enemy can only be temporarily used, as Cappy claims it is too large to handle. The only way to defeat a T-Rex is by having it drop into an [[pit|abyss]].

==Kingdoms==
There are seventeen named locations that Mario can explore, most of which are in what the game calls "kingdoms." Each location has a specific theme, some being similar to themes seen in previous ''Super Mario'' titles, others being original themes. Some locations are based on a real-world location (e.g., Metro Kingdom's main area, New Donk City, is based on {{wp|New York City}}). Bowser is after various items in some of these locations, which all tie to his preparations for his wedding.

==Development==
[[File:3D Mario Infograph.jpg|thumb|upright=1.4|Official infographic 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.]]

===Background===
When asked about "coming home" to the ''[[Super Mario 64]]'' and ''[[Super Mario Sunshine]]'' style of gameplay, [[Shigeru 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.<ref name="Treehouse Live January">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>  After ''Super Mario Sunshine'', their focus reshifted to more accessible, casual gamers, hence encouraging them to make ''[[Super Mario Galaxy]]'' with more progression-oriented gameplay corridors.

<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. [...] 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.

As ''Super Mario Odyssey'' was developed alongside the Switch hardware, Yoshiaki Koizumi encouraged the game's developers to share their requirements and suggestions with the hardware development team.<ref name="Metro.co interview">[http://metro.co.uk/2017/06/19/super-mario-odyssey-interview-with-yoshiaki-koizumi-and-kenta-motokura-please-look-forward-to-it-6718082/ Super Mario Odyssey interview with Yoshiaki Koizumi and Kenta Motokura – ‘Please look forward to it!’] ''Metro.'' Retrieved September 27, 2017.</ref> This directly led to the inclusion of the two motion-sensitive controllers and the HD rumble feature on the Nintendo Switch hardware, which became a prominent part of ''Super Mario Odyssey'' gameplay.

===Early ideas and prototypes===
Development for ''Super Mario Odyssey'' began right after ''Super Mario 3D World'' was released in late 2013.<ref>[https://www.kotaku.com.au/2017/06/i-played-30-minutes-of-super-mario-odyssey-and-it-sure-is-impressive/ I played 30 minutes of Super Mario Odyssey and it sure is impressive]. ''Kotaku''. Retrieved September 24, 2017.</ref> Miyamoto sought more senior developers and staff teams who had been involved in past 3D ''Mario'' titles, in order to really "go back to the roots" of ''Super Mario Sunshine'' and ''Super Mario 64''.<ref name="Treehouse Live January" /> As a result, Yoshiaki Koizumi was made the game's producer, and ''Super Mario 3D World'' director [[Kenta Motokura]] again took on the role of director. Miyamoto remained with a consultative role throughout development, and although he contributed a lot of feedback, he was also very accepting of the development team's ideas.<ref>[http://www.gameinformer.com/b/news/archive/2017/06/13/how-shigeru-miyamoto-influenced-mario-odyssey-s-development.aspx How Shigeru Miyamoto Influenced Mario Odyssey’s Development]. ''Gameinformer.''

<blockquote>[The capture ability] was just one of the ideas that came up, but we worked on it for two or three days, and it just instantly turned into something that was really fun, and we decided [that it should be] the center of this game.
</blockquote>

Many of the other different prototype ideas were still included, providing for the diversity in-game mechanics throughout the game's stages, known as "kingdoms." These "fully realized worlds" were said to have been inspired by the Japanese hakoniwa box gardens, that bring rich landscapes to life in a miniaturized form.<ref>[https://nintendotreehouse.tumblr.com/post/161799433482/whats-in-a-box What's in a Box?].

===Design decisions===
''Super Mario Odyssey''<nowiki>'</nowiki>s theme is highly focused on "surprises" and "travel," and the developers incorporated many of their travel experiences around the world.<ref name="Nintendo Treehouse June" /> For instance, elements of the [[Sand Kingdom]] were derived from Kenta Motokura's experiences during a trip to Mexico, and the [[Luncheon Kingdom]]'s food aesthetics was inspired by Italy and other European countries.<ref name="Gamescom Cologne">Nintendo UK. (August 23, 2017). [https://www.youtube.com/watch?time_continue=4&v=6UE7gj7wbug Super Mario Odyssey - Luncheon Kingdom showcase with Yoshiaki Koizumi (Nintendo Switch)]. ''YouTube''.

[[File:Nintendo Treehouse June - Motokura and Koizumi.jpg|thumb|upright=1.4|[[Kenta Motokura]] (left) and [[Yoshiaki Koizumi]] (right) being interviewed as part of a Nintendo Treehouse segment for E3 2017]]
The developers recognized that when people travel to foreign countries, something that really has an impact is the different currencies. Therefore, they wanted to have Mario collect and use different [[regional coin]]s in each kingdom. Since the player travels outside the Mushroom Kingdom, the diverse art style between all the different kingdoms aimed to recreate the feelings of surprise and discovery when visiting foreign lands. It was also noted that a lot of time was spent in getting the right balance between familiar ''Mario'' concepts and completely new ones.<ref name="Nintendo Treehouse June" />

An example was the realistic [[T-Rex]] that is able to be captured by Mario. The developers looked back for inspiration from familiar ''[[Super Mario World]]'' elements in [[Dinosaur Land]], although they wanted to use a design that was "unseen" in a ''Mario'' game.<ref name="Nintendo Treehouse June" /> Familiar gameplay elements include the "8-bit" side-scrolling areas of the kingdoms, reminiscent to ''[[Super Mario Bros.]]'' in which progress is more "confined" and "precise." This was intended to be an engaging contrast to the 3D sandbox environments.

The developers knew that they wanted to have a city environment in the game that would resonate with players. As ''Donkey Kong''-inspired elements in the city came about, Pauline's presence in the series inspired the team to have her be the mayor of [[New Donk City]]. Some character development for Pauline was required in her transition from a damsel in distress to a major character, and it was decided that she would have an interest in jazz.<ref>[https://www.reddit.com/r/NintendoSwitch/comments/6h9s6l/hi_im_mr_koizumi_producer_of_super_mario_odyssey/ Hi, I’m Mr. Koizumi, Producer of Super Mario Odyssey. AMA!]. ''Reddit.'' Retrieved September 27, 2017.</ref> This led to the composition of the game's theme song shown in the E3 2017 trailer, titled "[[Jump Up, Super Star!]]" which was made to give the game energy and help get the audience excited.<ref name="Nintendo Treehouse June" />

To develop the game's camera system, the team looked at previous 3D ''Mario'' games. 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 is "very difficult to find the right balance."<ref name="Treehouse Live January" />
 
<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.

==Nintendo Labo VR==
Through the version 1.3.0 update that was released on April 25, 2019, ''Super Mario Odyssey'' features compatibility with the [[Nintendo Switch#Nintendo Labo|Nintendo Labo]]'s Toy-Con VR Goggles in the mode "Playing in VR," which allows players to experience a small variation of the game in virtual reality. The experience includes three mini-missions set in the [[Cap Kingdom]], [[Seaside Kingdom]], and [[Luncheon Kingdom]]; another [[Metro Kingdom|New Donk City]] Festival performance; and two cutscenes. The player can choose not to use the Toy-Con VR Goggles and instead play the mode with the normal view.

In each mission, Mario must find all three musical instruments and deliver them to the correct musicians in the area. Each instrument is revealed after finding a treble clef and collecting all of its [[note]]s. The objective is marked complete if all three musicians have been recruited and Mario has collected at least 100 [[coin]]s. Like in Assist Mode, Mario cannot be defeated, and if he falls into a hazard or goes out of bounds, he is encased in a [[bubble]] and brought back to stable ground.

*'''[[Find Band Members in the Cap Kingdom!]]''': This objective is set in the Central Plaza. It is unlocked after clearing the Cap Kingdom in the main game.
*'''[[Find Band Members in the Seaside Kingdom!]]''': This objective is set on the kingdom's beach in the daytime. It is unlocked after clearing the Seaside Kingdom in the main game.
*'''[[Find Band Members in the Luncheon Kingdom!]]''': This objective is set in [[Peronza Plaza]]. It is unlocked after clearing the Luncheon Kingdom in the main game.
*'''Concert Hall''': [[Pauline]] and [[the Super Mario Players]], as well as the musicians recruited in the previous objectives, perform "[[Jump Up, Super Star!]]" at the New Donk City Hall Auditorium. This option is unlocked after clearing all three missions.
*'''Theater: Opening''': The game's opening cutscene but without the "In the skies above Peach's castle..." text.
*'''Theater: Ending''': The game's ending cutscene. It is unlocked after beating the main game.

==Glitches==
{{main|List of Super Mario Odyssey glitches}}
===Camera===
====Talkatoo Camera Lock====
If the player performs a Cap Throw at [[Talkatoo]] and talks to him at the same time, the camera will lock into place.<ref name="scykoh">Scykoh. (November 18, 2017) [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tWBqJgGnVVA Super Mario Odyssey - Glitchfest]. ''YouTube''. Retrieved 21 December 2017.</ref> Additionally, if the player performs a [[somersault]] and quickly turns the camera to face Talkatoo, he will be standing in midair. This glitch can be used to cheat the [[Jump-Rope Challenge]] in the Metro Kingdom and get a maximum score of 99,999 jumps. The player can return to regular ground by shaking their controller or pressing {{button|ns|Y}} and can end the glitch completely by entering another area such as the [[Crazy Cap]] shop or by speaking to someone else. If the player performs this glitch and performs a Cap Throw at a [[Scarecrow]], the screen will move the position as it normally would and freeze there instead. If the player performs this glitch and captures a pair of [[binoculars]] or a [[spark pylon]], the screen will not move, and inside the binoculars, the vision is that of what is usually inside a pair of binoculars.<ref>https://twitter.com/Raltseye/status/948563348269903872</ref>

As of the February 21, 2018, update, this glitch has been patched, with the worldwide and friends rankings for the Jump-Rope Challenge having been reset.

===Physics===
====Dog Jumping in Air====
If the player bounces off the [[Nintendog]] when it is in midair, the Nintendog will remain in midair for a while before jumping again. Consecutively repeating this glitch allows the player to gain immense jump height as long as they keep performing Cap Throws in between to maintain their height. This glitch can be performed in any kingdom where the Nintendog appears.<ref name="scykoh"/>

====Take Letters Anywhere====
In New Donk City's park, if the player captures the [[letter]]s in the Metro Kingdom and lines them up so at least one is on the boundary of the park and the "M" is facing towards the [[Odyssey]], they can use a [[Motor Scooter]] to push said "M" into the other letter. By doing this, they will be able to capture the letter and take it out of bounds, letting them bring it anywhere they want in the city. This then has various effects throughout the level.

[[File:SMO Pre-release Grand Moon.png|thumb|The pre-release version of the Multi Moon collection screen]]
The pre-release box art of the game featured Mario wearing a sombrero and poncho in the [[Sand Kingdom]]. The final box art was changed to him being in the [[Lake Kingdom]] due to [[List of Mario-related controversies#Super Mario Odyssey box art change|supposed criticisms]] about the appearance of a "Mexican Mario" on the box art and being described as a negative stereotype of the Mexican people.

During the E3 playthrough of this game, certain items had different names. [[Multi Moon]]s were originally called "Grand Moons," and the [[Binding Band]] was simply referred to as the "Wedding Ring," which were literally transliterated and translated, respectively, from the Japanese original. The [[regional coin]]s of the Sand Kingdom and [[Metro Kingdom]] were called "Pyramid Coins" and "City Coins," respectively, but they are not used in the final game. Additionally, the mission [[Showdown on the Inverted Pyramid]] was named "Inverted Pyramid Showdown."

During the Nintendo Switch Presentation trailer, Cappy was not shown with eyes. Similarly, during the Switch Presentation and E3 trailers, Peach's tiara is shown as a regular tiara rather than [[Tiara]] herself. Both were most likely done to avoid revealing the characters too soon. Also during the Switch Presentation trailer, the electronic billboard for [[Wooded Kingdom|Steam Gardens]] found in New Donk City showed that the location was originally named "Kogwald."

There were also minor details that were changed, such as the hat on the door of the [[Odyssey]] being much smaller, and the Metro Kingdom's Power Moons being more bronze than brown. Several of the quotes uttered by NPCs are different than in the final game, such as the RC Car driver in New Donk City originally saying, ''"Is there a better way to spend free time? Nope,"'' before it was changed to ''"How are my kids so good at this?"'' The HUD during the E3 demo did not feature the instructions to press {{button|ns|minus}} to view the map and {{button|ns|plus}} for the menu, or the compass underneath the [[Health Meter]]. When there is only one hit point left, the Health Meter flashes differently than in the final game. When the player acquired a [[Life-Up Heart]], the extra health meter was colored green alongside the first one instead of light blue.

In New Donk City, there are signs present in certain areas that are not in the final game, and the Mayor Pauline Commemorative Park has a rocket ship taking the player to a bonus area. In the final game, the player must first find a hidden room inside a building and reach the pipe at the end, and they will be taken to a hidden area with said rocket. The rooftop pool beside the top of city hall was significantly deeper in the E3 demo, with the water level being just over Mario's head; in the final game, the water level approximately reaches Mario's neck.<ref>https://twitter.com/game4brains/status/946182614653681664</ref> It is likely that this change was due to the original water level leaving Mario susceptible to drowning, as demonstrated in a YouTube video uploaded by gaming news site Polygon during E3.<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bixxb8jSxSg</ref> Additionally, an unused sprite of an 8-bit Metro Kingdom regional coin exists in the game's files, but it was left unused in the final game due to the minimal presence of 8-bit sections in that kingdom.

==Reception==
===Critical reception===
''Super Mario Odyssey'' has received widespread critical acclaim. Prior to its release, EDGE Magazine gave ''Super Mario Odyssey'' a perfect score of 10, praising the game for "taking big risks with an established formula and having them all pay off handsomely."<ref>[https://www.rllmukforum.com/index.php?/topic/302369-the-next-issue-of-edge-is-delayed/&page=3 EDGE issue showed up in stores]</ref> Ryan McCaffery of IGN had a similar view, also giving the game a perfect score of 10. Despite criticizing the camera controls, McCaffery was ultimately very impressed with the game, saying that it "is a brilliant adventure and love letter to the series that made Nintendo a household name."<ref>http://au.ign.com/articles/2017/10/26/super-mario-odyssey-review</ref> Phillip Kollar and Allegra Frank of Polygon also praised the game, scoring it 9.5 out of 10. While Allegra somewhat criticized the boss battles, the two reviewers ended with "''Super Mario Odyssey'' is almost certain to be counted among the best games in Nintendo's star series."<ref>https://www.polygon.com/2017/10/26/16551724/super-mario-odyssey-review</ref> Andrew Webster of The Verge called the game "A weird, wild world bursting with ideas," praising how the game was always surprising, saying, "Because each world is so different from the last, I found myself constantly discovering things I didn’t expect or hadn’t seen before."<ref>https://www.theverge.com/2017/10/26/16552118/super-mario-odyssey-review-nintendo-switch</ref> Peter Brown of GameSpot praised the game for its variety of platforming challenges and puzzles and how "The opportunities introduced by possessing others isn't just an easy source of laughs, but also works hand in hand with Odyssey's ever-present challenges," while criticizing how some of Cappy's actions require motion controls. He gave the game a 10/10.<ref>https://www.gamespot.com/reviews/super-mario-odyssey-review/1900-6416795/</ref> Dave Thier of Forbes praised how unique the game was, saying, "''Super Mario Odyssey'' is a wide-open challenge that never stops changing, even dozens of hours in," while heavily criticizing the game's motion controls. He gave the game a 9.5/10.<ref>https://www.forbes.com/sites/games/2017/11/02/super-mario-odyssey-review-a-perfect-game-with-a-problem/#25c565b21e48</ref> The game currently averages 97% on review aggregate site Metacritic (based on 67 reviews)<ref>http://www.metacritic.com/game/switch/super-mario-odyssey</ref> and 97.42% on GameRankings (based on 58 reviews), making it the third-highest-rated game on the latter website.<ref>http://www.gamerankings.com/switch/200275-super-mario-odyssey/index.html</ref>

|''Mario’s games have been around for almost as long as game consoles have been a thing, but thankfully, he’s always evolving. We rarely get the same Mario twice. Super Mario Odyssey delivers on that ongoing promise of originality and innovation: It distills the venerable series’ joyful, irreverent world and characters and best-in-class platforming action, and introduces a steady stream of new and unexpected mechanics. It’s all spun together into a generational masterpiece.''

|''For a character nearing 40 years old, it’s amazing that Mario has remained not only a beloved character but one whose games are generally expected to be great. From that perspective, it’s no surprise that Super Mario Odyssey is, yes, a great game. But more than that, it’s a fantastic, even fundamental addition to Mario’s legacy. From a plumber to a doctor to a tennis star to, uh, a Goomba, Mario has endured. No, this will not be the last Mario game, but it is almost certain to be lauded as one of his best.''

|''It’s a testament to the sheer creativity underlying Odyssey that, even after watching the credits roll and playing for more than 24 hours, I still regularly come across things I haven’t seen before. (The game opens up significantly after you complete the story.) There are coins and moons to collect and tucked-away nooks to discover. There are many moments in Odyssey where it doesn’t necessarily look like a Mario game, but more like the squat plumber has been transported into some other virtual realm. But it always feels like Mario — because it never stops surprising you.''

|''Odyssey is sustained beyond its major milestones not only through colorful worlds and hidden challenges, but through the sheer joy of controlling Mario, who's never felt more responsive or dynamic in action. Even with everything new that's been introduced, Nintendo's forward-thinking platformer retains the series' classic handcrafted appeal, which is even more impressive when you realize how densely packed each kingdom is. Mario's latest outing is big, bold, and bursting with new ideas, and like Breath of the Wild, is another instance of Nintendo going above and beyond to redefine our expectations. It's a shining example of refined creativity, and another crown jewel for Switch that is without equal.''

|''Super Mario Odyssey is a wide-open challenge that never stops changing, even dozens of hours in. It's of a kind with The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, which offered a similar sense of scope to Nintendo's other headlining single-player franchise. It's a world that feels huge at first, then small as you get to know it, and then huge again as you realize how fantastically dense it is with secrets and challenges. It gives you a simple set of tools and then asks you to do something different with them every ten minutes. Super Mario Odyssey is a fun game, an unoriginal observation that feels nonetheless vital in the modern gaming landscape. It is a game that tasks you with finding joy, and then lets you point yourself in the right direction. It is a game you should play.''

==References to other games==
*[[Game & Watch]] series: The silhouette of a hat-wearing [[Mr. Game & Watch]] appears on minigame icons.
*''[[Donkey Kong (game)|Donkey Kong]]'': The location New Donk City is a throwback to Mario's early origins. There are steel girders that resemble the ones seen in this game, and the taxicabs 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, and she originated from this game. The melody from the [[25m]] theme can be heard halfway through "[[Jump Up, Super Star!]]" as well as during the ending cutscene variation of "[[Break Free (Lead the Way)]]." The bassist can also be heard playing the 25m theme when Mario first finds him.<ref> RogersBase. (June 15, 2017).

[[Oil Drum]]s also appear, along with coins spelling out "DK." Pauline's original design (she was then known as Lady), as well as Donkey Kong's original design, also makes a brief cameo as graffiti art on a building. Pauline's purple sun hat in her standard attire may be a reference to [[Pauline's lost items]] from the game. In addition, the lost items were twice referenced in the side mission "Personal Request for the Mayor," one in regards to selecting a parasol, a hat, and a purse regarding her treasured items, while the other is hunting down Pauline's gift, with all options being the aforementioned items. In addition, in the same sidequest, one of her questions mentions what had happened in her past involved being abducted by a giant ape, referring to the plot of ''Donkey Kong''.<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VTHsCW3pmOg</ref> The Classic Cap and Classic Suit outfit is based on Mario's classic outfit in ''Donkey Kong''.
*''[[Super Mario Bros.]]'': Several parts of the game allow Mario to walk within walls from a 2D perspective, using sprites and sound effects from this game, as well as altering the stage music to an 8-bit variation. An arrangement of the [[Ground Theme (Super Mario Bros.)|overworld theme]] from this game plays in the New Donk City Auditorium. The castle theme from this game plays when Mario captures Bowser. With its sunglasses on, Moe-Eye sometimes hums the first few notes of the overworld theme as well as the ending theme from this game while walking around. A replica of ''Super Mario Bros.'' can be played at New Donk City where Mario traverses through [[World 1-1 (Super Mario Bros.)|World 1-1]]. The [[1-Up Mushroom|1-Up]] jingle can be heard in two separate parts when one pauses and un-pauses the game.
*''[[Family Computer Golf: U.S. Course]]'': Mario's Stars and Stripes outfit originates from this game.
*''[[Famicom Grand Prix II: 3D Hot Rally]]'': The Mechanic Suit and Mechanic Cap outfit originates from this game.
*''[[Super Mario Bros. 2]]'': Mario holds and throws [[vegetable]]s found in the [[Luncheon Kingdom]] the same way as he does in this game.
*''[[Super Mario Bros. 3]]'': The music that plays in the [[slots]] minigame room and the [[Picture Match]] areas is an arrangement of the minigame music from this game.<ref>AbdallahSmash026.

Retrieved June 19, 2017.</ref> The sound effect that plays when using a [[Rocket Flower]] is the sound effect that plays when the P Meter is full in this game. The final boss and its battle theme from this game plays when Mario captures Bowser. [[Jizo]]s in Bowser's Kingdom resemble the original design of [[Statue Mario]].
*''{{wp|Qix}}'': The Sombrero and Poncho originate from the Game Boy version of this game.
*''[[Super Mario Land]]'': A notable species is the Moe-Eyes, with glasses similar to the Moai statues and enemies found in the [[Easton Kingdom]].
*''[[Dr. Mario (game)|Dr. Mario]]'': Mario's Doctor Outfit originates from this game.
*''[[Super Mario World]]'': A piano arrangement of this game's [[Ground Theme (Super Mario World)|overworld]] and underwater themes can be heard on radios in New Donk City.<ref> Polygon.

Retrieved September 1, 2017.</ref> Sprites of [[Fuzzy|Fuzzies]] from this game are used when Fuzzies appear in 8-bit segments. An arrangement of the music that plays in this game during the bonus areas plays in some of the challenge areas.<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JTNVRCddwIA&t=43s]</ref> The final boss and its battle theme from this game plays when Mario captures Bowser. Yoshi's House is set up in the same way as it is in this game (with a fireplace and three trees acting as shelter), with the notice even starting with the words ''"Hello! Sorry I'm not home, but I've gone to."'' This reference was kept in the German and Spanish localizations but not the French.
*''[[NES Open Tournament Golf]]'': Mario's Stars and Stripes outfit is iconically used in this game.
*''[[Mario Paint]]'': Mario's Painter's outfit, Black Tuxedo outfit, and Conductor outfit from this game's artwork appear.

*''[[Super Mario All-Stars]]'': Mario's black top hat originates from this game.
*''[[Yoshi's Cookie]]'': One of Mario's Chef Outfits originates from the NES version of this game.
*[[Donkey Kong Country (series)|''Donkey Kong Country'' series]]: In addition to New Donk City being named after Donkey Kong, characters' names from this series appear as street signs, such as [[Diddy Kong]], [[Dixie Kong]], [[Tiny Kong]], [[Cranky Kong]], [[Candy Kong]], [[Rambi the Rhino]], [[Expresso the Ostrich]], [[Squawks the Parrot]], and [[King K. Rool]]. Diddy Kong is also the basis of an outfit and cap Mario can wear.
*''[[Mario's Picross]]'': The Explorer Hat and Explorer Outfit originate from this game.
*''[[Super Mario 64]]'': ''Super Mario Odyssey'' is considered a spiritual successor to both this game and ''Super Mario Sunshine''. The structure of the kingdoms carries over what was established in this game, such as the lack of a time limit and having areas change each time the player visits them, based on what the player has previously completed. This game also first introduced utilizing [[Mario Cap|cap]]s as [[power-up]]s. The number on Mario's football jersey and baseball uniform is "64." There is a minigame involving foot-racing [[Koopa Troopa]]s, much like with [[Koopa the Quick]]. Mario can jump into some paintings in specific kingdoms to get to other kingdoms. In the [[Mushroom Kingdom (Super Mario Odyssey)|Mushroom Kingdom]], the music that plays after Mario jumps into the painting and the two different actions of how Mario exits the paintings reflecting on if he won or lost are used. Mario's idle animation is similar to the one in this game, in which he falls asleep and begins to mutter about various kinds of pasta.<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o84QATgmKOo]</ref> [[Treasure chest]]s that need to be opened in a certain order to obtain a [[Power Moon]] return. In the [[Seaside Kingdom]], the "Treasure Trap Hidden in the Inlet" Power Moon has the same order to open the treasure chests as the "[[Treasure in the Ocean Cave]]" [[Power Star]] in [[Jolly Roger Bay]]. The jingle that plays when collecting a non-plot-specific Power Moon is similar to the "Course Clear" jingle from this game, though the original jingle plays when collecting a Power Star in the Mushroom Kingdom. The [[regional coin]]s in the Mushroom Kingdom have the design of the coins from this game. There is an outfit and cap, aptly named "Mario 64 Suit" and "Mario 64 Cap," respectively, that, when both are equipped, will change Mario's clothes and face to the polygon-like texture used in this game.<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AhYeVQ2MJtA]</ref> Another outfit and cap, called "Metal Mario Suit" and "Metal Mario Cap," respectively, changes Mario into his [[Metal Mario (form)|metal form]] in this game. Yoshi can be found on the rooftop of Peach's Castle in the Mushroom Kingdom just like in this game. [[Klepto]] snags [[Cappy]] just like how he snags Mario's cap in this game. The scene of Mario fighting Bowser in this game and the music that plays when fighting Bowser play when Mario captures Bowser, and the music can also be heard during a part of "Break Free (Lead the Way)." Mario can perform this game's variation of the [[Spin Jump]] when he jumps off one of the red, bouncy flowers found in-game. The backyard in Peach's Castle from this game returns, and it and the castle proper are set to an arrangement of the location's original music cue, "Inside the Castle Walls." The jingle that plays when the player has triggered an event returns. The water surrounding Peach's Castle can be drained like in this game. The Power Moon obtained from looking up to the ceiling in Peach's Castle is similar to how Mario looks up to the ceiling to access the course [[Tower of the Wing Cap]]. The map that [[Hint Toad]] consults is a map of [[Bob-omb Battlefield]].<ref>[https://twitter.com/Frying_Pants/status/926991088933629952]</ref> [[Torkdrift]] is also a notable [[Spindrift]]. Bowser being fought in the [[Cloud Kingdom]] probably references [[Bowser in the Sky]]. Finally, the post-credits ending screen reuses Mario's dialogue line ''"Thank you so much for-a playing my game!"''
*''[[Super Mario Sunshine]]'': ''Super Mario Odyssey'' is the first 3D main series game since ''Super Mario Sunshine'' to feature open sandbox-style levels. Additionally, Mario can once again slide while grabbing on a ledge. Mario retains this game’s version of the Spin Jump move as well. Some areas feature platforming challenges without the aid of Cappy, similarly to some of the secret courses in this game requiring completion without the aid of [[F.L.U.D.D.]]<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sZqXjYi79z4]</ref> The [[Gushen]] enemy capture grants Mario abilities very similar to F.L.U.D.D.'s various nozzles, including cleaning burning goop in the [[Seaside Kingdom]], being propelled forward upon the surface of a body of water, and providing a method of defeating [[Mollusque-Lanceur]] that is very similar to how numerous bosses in ''Sunshine'' are defeated (dousing in water by hovering from above). [[Isle Delfino]], the main setting of this game, is visually referenced on the world atlas present on a Japanese billboard advertisement for ''Super Mario Odyssey''.<ref>[http://nintendoeverything.com/super-mario-odyssey-advertising-starts-in-japan/]</ref><ref>[https://www.mariowiki.com/File:Super-Mario-Odyssey-Map.jpg]</ref> When Mario stands in smoke or the poison spat out by [[Poison Piranha Plant]]s, he gets covered in soot or the poison, resembling him being covered in goop from this game. Through an update released on February 21, 2018, Mario can receive the outfit and sunglasses like he got from the [[Sunglasses vendor]].
*''[[Super Mario Galaxy]]'' / ''[[Super Mario Galaxy 2]]'': The animation of Mario and Cappy getting a [[Multi Moon]] is similar to Mario getting a [[Grand Star]] in these games. The low health buzzer sound also plays when Mario is low on health. [[Ground-Pound Switch]]es also reappear. [[Captain Toad]] and the Toad Brigade, together with the Toad Brigade theme,<ref name="Comic Con">[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qb7VhfZcA7g]</ref> appear in the game. The [[Life-Up Heart]] functions exactly like the [[Life Mushroom]] from these games. Mario's idle animation of falling asleep is similar to the one in these games. The sound clip of Mario when he touches [[lava]] is reused from these games. The currency in the Moon Kingdom resembles [[Star Bit]]s and is described as such. The jingle that plays when the Odyssey is restored is reused from the jingle that plays when Mario collects a new power-up in these games. A few of Yoshi's sound clips are reused from ''Super Mario Galaxy 2'' as well as being able to find him in eggs. With its sunglasses on, Moe-Eye sometimes hums [[Gusty Garden Galaxy]]'s music from this game. Also, there is a musical [[Easter egg]] in the pause menu, where it plays one of few different notes; if one selects the right options, the player will hear the [[Comet Observatory]] theme from this game.
*''[[Super Mario 3D Land]]'': The [[Tail Tree]] appears in the Mushroom Kingdom. The invincibility theme, heard when tapping any Mario amiibo, is taken from this game. Bowser attacks by stomping to create fire rings and swinging his tail, similar to in this game. The regional coins of the Lost Kingdom look similar to how the [[Super Leaf|Super Leaves]] look in this game. Statue Mario's design appears when controlling the Jizos.
*''[[Mario Kart 7]]'': Some of [[Lakitu]]'s voice clips are reused from this game.
*''[[New Super Mario Bros. 2]]'': [[Gold Mario]] appears as an unlockable outfit.
*''[[Super Mario 3D World]]'': Some of the elements and sound effects are reused in this game. [[Cat Mario]] and [[Cat Peach]]'s [[Costume Mario]] sprites from ''Super Mario Maker'' can be seen on walls in many kingdoms. Captain Toad retains his design from this game. When the Broodals are defeated together, the fireworks of their faces explode in the sky, similar to how Bowser turns into a firework of his face when he is defeated in the final battle. The bonus areas in [[Dark Side]] are harder or alternate versions of previously visited bonus areas similar to the levels in [[World Mushroom (Super Mario 3D World)|World Mushroom]] and [[World Flower (Super Mario 3D World)|World Flower]] from this game.
*''[[Mario Kart 8]]'' / ''[[Mario Kart 8 Deluxe]]'': Mario's Mechanic and Racing Outfits feature some logos of sponsors appearing in the game, including [[List of sponsors in Mario Kart 8 and Mario Kart 8 Deluxe#Bowser Oil|Bowser Oil]].
*''[[Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker]]'': The Jaxi maze in Tostarena uses the same arrangement of the ''Super Mario Bros.'' underground theme from this game. Toadette returns and retains her outfit from this game. When the player encounters Captain Toad in the Lost Kingdom, he mentions he was dropped by a [[Klepto|giant bird]] but a different bird than [[Wingo|usual]].
*''[[Super Mario Maker]]'': The Builder Helmet and Builder Outfit originate from this game. Sprites of Cat Mario and Cat Peach can be found in hidden areas of most of the kingdoms, as well as a sprite of [[Rosalina]] on the [[Dark Side]], all from this game. Koopa Shells retain their spinning animation from this game's ''Super Mario Bros.'' style. An arrangement of the ''Super Mario Bros.''-style airship theme plays during cutscenes with Bowser (where his airship flies away). The sprite for Bowser in the 2D sections is the same as the sprite used when Bowser is seen when Mario collects a Big Mushroom in this game.<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IIjF1ZicnHc</ref>

==References in other games==
*''[[Super Mario Run]]'': An event was held in this game, featuring ''Super Mario Odyssey''-themed statues for the Kingdom Builder mode.
*''[[Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker]]'': The Nintendo Switch and Nintendo 3DS versions of this game include stages inspired by several kingdoms, such as [[Uptown, Downtown]] being based on the [[Metro Kingdom]].
*''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]'': Aesthetically, [[Mario Cap|Mario's cap]] has been replaced by [[Cappy]]. One of [[Mario]]'s new taunts has him spin Cappy around, which references Mario's Cap Throw action, as well as the Spin Throw. Mario's [[Super Jump Punch]] has a chance of producing [[regional coin]]s from the Metro Kingdom, which reuse the same sound effect when they are collected in ''Super Mario Odyssey''. When this occurs, Cappy's eyes peek out from Mario's hat. One of Mario's new costumes is his Wedding tux costume. Finally, [[New Donk City Hall (stage)|New Donk City Hall]] appears as a new stage, where [[Pauline]] and [[The Super Mario Players]] are visible in the background. Touching all of the Super Mario Players members, including Pauline, will have them perform "[[Jump Up, Super Star!]]" Mario (Wedding), The Odyssey, Cappy, Bowser (Wedding), Peach (Wedding), and Pauline also appear as [[Spirit (Super Smash Bros. Ultimate)|spirits]]. Bowser's [[:File:SSBU Classic Victory Bowser.png|congratulations screen]] possibly parodies the events of the game, while [[:File:SSBU Classic Victory Peach.png|Peach's]] references the early ending concept where Mario and Peach get married.
*''[[Mario Tennis Aces]]'': Pauline summons a platform resembling New Donk City Hall, as well as several New Donkers, for her Special Shot. Her voice clips are also reused.
*''[[Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games Tokyo 2020]]'': The Mushroom Kingdom and the Odyssey appear in the [[Dream Karate]] [[Dream Event]].
*''[[Mario Kart Tour]]'': Pauline's voice clips are reused. In addition, during the Paris Tour/Valentine's Tour and Ice Tour, the tour-exclusive characters Peach (Vacation) and Peach (Wintertime) each wear an outfit derived from the one she wears at the [[Sand Kingdom]], [[Ruined Kingdom]], [[Cloud Kingdom]], and [[Metro Kingdom]] as well as the [[Cap Kingdom]], [[Snow Kingdom]], and [[Moon Kingdom]], respectively, in the post-game. Additionally, some of Mario's outfits during certain tours, such as the Musician, Happi, Hakama, and Santa outfits, refer to some of his Crazy Cap outfits from this game. Pauline's status as mayor of New Donk City is indirectly referenced by her association with the [[New York Minute]] and [[New York Minute 2]] courses.

==Trivia==
*''Super Mario Odyssey'' is the first-ever ''[[Mario (franchise)|Mario]]'' series title to receive a B rating by the {{wp|Computer Entertainment Rating Organization|CERO}} in Japan. All other titles released prior have been rated at A. Similarly, ''Super Mario Odyssey'' is the first ''[[Super Mario (series)|Super Mario]]'' series title to receive "Everyone 10+" by the {{wp|Entertainment Software Rating Board|ESRB}} in North America. All other titles released prior have been rated E. According to the ESRB, this is because of the following content contained in the game: the ways the enemies are defeated, the capture of a cartoony military tank (the enemy [[Sherm]]) to fire large cannonballs at [[Mechawiggler]] and the large explosion that occurs upon the defeat of the latter, the various punches landed at [[Bowser]] during his fights, and the pink liquid trails that [[Cookatiel]] spits out towards [[Mario]] during its boss fight.<ref>[http://www.esrb.org/ratings/Synopsis.aspx?Certificate=35042 Entertainment Software Rating Board's rating for ''Super Mario Odyssey'']. Retrieved November 24, 2017.</ref>
*Although prior ''Mario'' media have featured Bowser trying to initiate a forced marriage with [[Princess Peach]], such as the anime ''[[Super Mario Bros.: Peach-hime Kyushutsu Dai Sakusen!]]'' as well as the ''[[The Super Mario Bros. Super Show!]]'' episode "[[Do You Princess Toadstool Take This Koopa...?]]" and the ''[[Super Mario Adventures]]'' comic, ''Odyssey'' is the first time such a plotline occurred in one of the games and the second to have Bowser and Peach marry, with ''[[Super Paper Mario]]'' being the first but with [[Count Bleck]] planning it instead.
*A browser game was released in 2017 on the [[Play Nintendo]] website called ''[[Super Mario Odyssey Fun Trivia Quiz]]''.
*To comply with the video game regulations in China, the Tencent Nintendo Switch release of the game features many changes or censorships.
**The skull and eye patch were removed from the Pirate Outfit, which was renamed along with the Pirate Hat to "Noble Outfit" and "Noble Hat".<ref>https://twitter.com/chinesenintendo/status/1258526341198000129?s=20</ref>
**English names on the world maps were removed, including coordinate numbers and letters. This change applies to the maps both in-game<ref>https://twitter.com/chinesenintendo/status/1258525046114447361?s=20</ref> and on the cartridge<ref>https://twitter.com/chinesenintendo/status/1259755144796712961?s=20</ref> and download cards.<ref>https://twitter.com/chinesenintendo/status/1259770285227565056?s=20</ref>
