The Genius of Super Mario Odyssey

- Super Mario Odyssey is an amazing game, one I'd say is probably the best in the 3D Mario series, not my favorite due to nostalgia for Mario 64, but one I can respect as the best. In this video I try to discuss the genius of the game, and how I think it an absolute masterpiece.
ALSO this is the last video in my 3D Mario retrospective series, unless I decide to do Bowser's Fury.

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: czcams.com/video/7NYDQMbE_YU/video.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
I commend your decision and bestow my best wishes for you
Not gonna happen
@nealios6712 thank you so much, i appreciate it 🙏
Isn't Nintendo based in Japan? Unless you're thinking about working for Next Level or Retro
@@yikes6969 Didn't ask
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.
@@edy1361 Not like an escaped lunatic, it was more of just a light chuckle as if I just saw something moderately funny. 😂
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.
Every so often I come back to this game and fall in love all over again
Not only is this video so great with its points, but it highlights just how amazing this game is. Amazing work :D
Wow😊
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.
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
ummmm nintendo and mario were never dieing before odyysey came out and if any game helped nintendo it was breath of the wild i mean i love oddysey but it was a small game compared to breath of the wild in terms of popularity and lasting effects in the world of gaming.
@@elijahyoung4355 totally true , i would even say Odyssey and BotW didn’t save them but actually helped them peaking
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.
Mabye he just ate a mushroom and then lost it when mario beat him
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
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
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
its just an amazing 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
i was so surprised when i left fullscreen and saw 1.4k views. you're underrated bro this was so entertaining
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.
A lot of the platforming parts are for additional moons in sub sections of kingdoms
I agree there’s not as much as 64 but I still love the game 😊
Also I think a lot of people use the cap jump as a substitute for traditional platforming but I think it is beyond my capabilities 😂
@@ropowo Also at least those platforming designs in Odyssey aren't nearly as obnoxious or repetitive as the ones in 64 & Sunshine where one slip up, than it's back all the way up or losing alot of health or lives.
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.
0:13 thank you for cropping the image so that my name is included
i literally did this exactly so you would notice this
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.
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.
yooo the sunshine glasses and the skeleton body being specifically mentioned? that was my go to costume combo
That flip and hat throw at the end of the game *chef's kiss*
wait wth do you have 3k subs, you’re incredibly underrated 😔
I discovered this channel a few days ago and I’m in love with it. Great stuff 👍. Subscribed.
That is literally the exact same thing as me
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.
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.
ground pound jump was not in nsmbu, 3d land or 3d world, roll was in 3d world but you couldnt continue it like in mario odyssey. but whatever i guess, just pointing that out
Ground pound jump was only in 3d world in the switch port
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!
i for sure did not appreciate odyssey as much as i should have
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.
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
You did an amazing job making this video 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽💯
this video deserves so much more views
Excellent video!
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
Loved the channel, new sub!
me as a dark souls fan i have to say you got me laughing hard after saying „crash landing in f**kin dark souls“
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)
4:24 "F*#K PEOPLE"?
Well that escalated quickly 😂
I love this game so much
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.
W
0:19 genius of the game but also bc there hasnt been another mario game release😂
Actually is the 7th (8th if you count Mario 64 DS)
I think he forgor mario galaxy 2
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.
Roll was in 3d land and world
The thing that still makes odyssey inferior is the lack of punching and kicking
The „sixth“ 3D Mario? I think you forgot either Galaxy 2 or 3DLand
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.
15:21 - how so very ironic! Thanks for the spoiler warning.
4:05 4:48 oh wow he swore
64 movement > odyssey movement ON GOD not being able to wallkick out of a long jump is such an L :/
The worst part about this game was the ending.
Peach looked beyond ungrateful at the end and almost abandoned Mario
I liked Galaxy 1 and 2 better tbh but this one is prty good :)
it's quite long tbh
I feel like it released a year ago
It’s aged so well
I like Odyssey alot but honestly prefer 3D World + Bowsers Fury. I think the Moon collecting got repetitive to me.
If Odyssey had the wall jump power from 64, it would be the definitive Mario game.
@@millabasset1710 the what
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.
Same here.
Positive comment
Good game but the galaxy series is the best of the mainline.
There's no way this game can be better than Super Mario Galaxy.
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.
It's the best open sandbox/collecthon at this point. Beating the crap out of 64 & Sunshine. But as core 3D Mario game? Not quite. I think the Galaxy games & even 3D World are better IMO.
thanks for the spoiler warning
the game is now 5 years old... if you don't want to get spoiled, don't watch videos of the game
I dunno, 999 moons. Nearly 200 you can buy and the other 90% come from tedious and repetitive things..
I felt disappointed with it after growing up with 64-Galaxy 2..
Another nintendo channel I can't watch with my daughter...
what
Why are you randomly swearing
Why do you gotta spoil the flowing dialog with cheap swear words?
its easy...thats why its popular
You say that like it's a bad thing!
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.
You didn’t even play most of the game 😂
@@Bubsack101 true but that's part of the problem! I never got bored and didn't finish a 3D Mario game before lol
Hetero
Same here. I find it boring as hell. Lame music, bad level design, no challenge at all, even the cap transformation thing is lame and grossly overused.
Nah overrated game
Why?
