Mario can fling his cap out to a range of enemies and objects and “capture” them, a form of possession that opens up a range of different game mechanics. More often than not you’ll be in the midst of collecting coins or Power Moons when you’ll see something else that you want to check out, and before you know it hours have passed.Īccompanying the open levels is Odyssey‘s brand-new hook, which is the capture mechanic. Warp points make it easy to travel between different areas on the map, and, similarly to Nintendo’s other mammoth 2017 success, The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, there’s a satisfying density of points of interest. The return to Mario 64 style levels comes with a key difference, which is in how you collect the main collectible (Power Moons in Odyssey). In previous games most of the time you would revisit each area with a specific mission to tackle. In Odyssey each kingdom is a vast area that you can explore as you like, and Power Moons can be collected in almost any order.
Since Super Mario 64, Mario’s first 3-D adventure, Nintendo has tried various ways to make their 3-D games more accessible, such as dividing levels into small sections as in Super Mario Galaxy and providing clear paths to the end of the stage as in Super Mario 3D World, but for the most part Odyssey is a return to the open levels of Mario 64, something fans have been requesting for some time. Super Mario Odyssey has been released to universal acclaim, and it’s not hard to see why.
