A Super Mario Odyssey Retrospective

Super Mario Odyssey just had its fifth anniversary. To celebrate, I wanted to revisit the game and see if it was just as amazing as I remembered it to be. It has been quite a long time since we got a new 3D Mario game, so I am still hoping for a Super Mario Odyssey 2. But until then, here's a retrospective of Super Mario Odyssey INCLUDING a look at the SECRET mode you may have missed!

Look, don’t get me wrong. Odyssey’s a good game, but let’s be honest: there’s just no way it could top Super Mario Galaxy.

Super Mario Odyessey is a excellent game, but it is not the best. It has it's fair share of issues.

[@Bloom990]

Nah I disagree odyssey is overated. 64 is the best

[@perrytheplatypus4620]

Odyssey is truly a masterpiece. Can't wait to see this retrospective, Demeech!!

[@BlakeBuildsLEGO]

What I like about Odyssey is that if I don’t have a ton of time to play, I can sit down grab a few moons and shut it off. It’s really fun, rewarding and relaxing!

[@bananasmash6532]

Hot take, Mario odyssey is trash because most of the collectibles feel meaningless due to the crazy amount and how many are way too easy to get

[@theknightmarem64bros36]

Super Mario Odyssey is one of the best masterpieces out there! But the one thing I absolutely love from that game is the Mario 64 outfit! It's actually really impressive that Nintendo actually put that outfit in the game and it feels spectacular. Also Super Mario Odyssey itself, it's actually a remake of super Mario 64 of its own. Which means

Unpopular opinion but i prefer Super Mario 3D World + Bowser’s Fury.

I don't understand people's fascination with New Donk city. Personally I hate big city settings in games, grey, ugly, just metal and concrete. I thought it was somewhat interesting that they put Mario alongside those Sonic 06 kind of humans and this city is in the sky or something like that but I wouldn't say that I liked it.

[@zkoopa4445]

Odyssey is pretty overrated, the game is ultimately short unless you go through the painstaking challenge to grab all the stupid moons

[@nahidwin65]

This is an amazing retrospective. Even as someone who hasn't played the game, its still so entertaining to watch. Thx Demeech:)

[@lumi_2423]

Even though it's the best on paper, my favorite Mario game will always be Galaxy hands down due to its cinematic presentation and stellar soundtrack.

[@NotScared]

I agree, super mario galaxy 2 was my childhood but odyssey is simply the best

[@awesomeocelot7475]

I totally agree! It feels so rewarding to collect the tons of moons!

[@kirbystar35]

Personally I feel the moons should of capped at 500 because there you unlock the darker run which really test the skills you found out in the game. 999 moons seems much as you don’t get anything unless your trying to get 100% but doesn’t mean Super Mario Odyssey is a bad game

[@DaRealShowbiz]

I still remember getting this game for Easter and beating it in like 2-3 dsys and i still replay it to this day

[@kennydarmawan13]

I think the best praise I can give to Odyssey is how it shows that a game like Crash of the Titans can work. And the funniest thing here is that Odyssey revitalized Mario bigger than ever while MOM caused Crash to, well, crashed.

[@jasperhatdichlieb4593]

Best Nintendo game I've ever played, never will I regret the hundreds of hours I put into every single moon, secret coin etc. Its just a ton of fun, so versatile and beautiful.

[@ddnava96]

Don't get me wrong. Super Mario Odyssey is spectacular, but I believe it's biggest mistake is having so many useless moons. A casual player who only wants to finish the game would miss a lot of the most interesting areas in the game because they found more than enough moons just shining on the ground, but a completionist would get a bit bored of having to pick up all those moons that are just shining on the ground

[@montmito]

3rd favorite game in the series, love it so much
