Let me hit you with this: After the ending of the first game with everyone trying to marry her, Peach gets fed up and goes on her own vacation/sabbatical to a far-off destination. But a few weeks pass and she doesn't come back on time. She's lost, through no fault of anyone. Mario and Bowser both hear about this, and out of both genuine and feigned concern for her, both set out to find and rescue her. - This puts another spin on the kidnapping trope, but most importantly puts Mario and Bowser *alongside* each other for the whole game, in direct competition and perhaps even begrudging cooperation. - This also lets you completely break the linearity, because if you're just trying to find where Peach got lost, you could basically start the search anywhere and go from there. - And (I think you brought this up with Paper Mario) it also gives Peach some agency and also hey hey! The ability to play as her during intermission chapters, in some wild jungle that she's trying to find her way through

This. So many of odyssey's kingdoms just felt a bit boring to navigate, but a multileveled, broken down boo mansion has so much potential to be a great playground to move around in and explore. On the outside, it'd look less like a traditional boo house, and more like an overdesigned, misshapen victorian mansion, with extra rooms, ledges, balconies, and towers jutting out of it all over the place. As you explore the mansion and find a path up to the top, you could find yourself moving along both its inside and outside, and this irregular external structure would help to make that more interesting.

Bowser’s Kingdom in Odyssey was basically a Galaxy level. The electric poles you use to travel between segments served the same purpose as launch stars.

[@ChesuMori]

Rather than moons, I think the things hidden in random spots that reward your exploration should be, like... some kind of customization items. I like the idea of buying souvenirs and costumes with coins, I want them to keep that, so the hidden things could be, like... I dunno, artifacts? Maybe make the Odyssey 2 a big ship with several rooms and allow you to decorate it however you want. Allow you to buy or find gifts for Peach.

[@derekw8039]

The gifts for Peach could be how you unlock her. You have to appease her enough that she finally revokes her friend-zoning on Mario!

[@danielarputharaj9918]

I started playing Hollow Knight a few days ago and one thing I've noticed in it is how there's a whole variety of different types of collectibles/objectives in there - charms, geo, containers for masks and soul, the spells, movement options, the nail arts, relics, essence and so on - and all of them have their own value and purpose (even the rancid eggs) yet it doesn't feel convoluted at all. Instead, whenever I get an item, I feel like I've progressed as the item will help out in the long run for sure (yes, even the rancid eggs). As a result feel satisfied and feel whatever journey or challenge I've made in order to get that item is made worth it. The whole variety of items covering different aspects of the game such as exploration, combat, and the economy means that whenever I get an item, I'm always excited at the chance it helps me reach new areas or make a boss easier or allows me to upgrade my nail, et cetera. Thus, every item feels worth getting. This is something I'd love to see a "Mario Oddysey 2" or just any mainline Mario in the future do: make it feel like areas you explore and items you collect as result have a lasting impact on the feeling of progression in the game. Coins in oddysey don't hold any real weight as you can't truly lose coins except from spending them (or being exceptionally bad at the game but that's unlikely) as well as the fact that most of the things you buy with coins are purely cosmetic. Moons obviously have more importance than coins, yet still have weaknesses. As standardised collectibles they don't give unique sense of accomplishment at the end of the day. As a hard moon to get has the exact same value as an easy moon, which isn't too much of a problem in other games, but in Oddysey with how easy a lot of moons are to find, it's harder to feel accomplished about getting a moon from doing a difficult challenge when you can also find moons just sitting in the trash (literally). This wouldn't be so bad if it was like spirit orbs in botw - there, the more you had, the more health or stamina you'd have, so you'd always want more of them. However, you only needs a certain amount of moons from each kingdom to get to the next kingdom ,and some kingdoms just don't require moons at all, so it doesn't really matter if you decide to go for the hard ones or not unless you go for 100 % completion. Combined with the sheer amount of them, they feel really low value as a result, especially compared to the collectibles of past 3d games like 64, galaxy and sunshine. (Doesn't help that you can buy as many moons as you want and that each moon is only 100 coins). So, TL;DR isbasically just agreeing with why having unique items with justifiable purposes is gud

You could even ask Cappy for tips and change your outfit. They could even add a telescope so you could explore your surrounds! And you could decide which kingdoms to go from there.

[@datenegassie]

[@theoaremevano3227]

Conversations do tend shift on big releases, mostly just because people get fed up with the other point of view dominating the dialogue. Breath of the Wild has the same thing. Even some years back, there were videos going over the problems with it. It's a balance that should exist anyway, but since people are so prone to going all in on one point of view OR the other, opinions tend to go really hard one way for a while and then get a backlash in the other direction later.

[@chrange9714]

Don't know why. The game wasn't structureless at all and is very rewarding. People like to blow the whole "meaningless moons" thing WAY out of proportion. There's only like three or four I can think that were just out in the open. Odyssey's not a perfect game, no game is, but it's an extremely good one. Some people just make little gripes into huge problems because there's not much bad to say about the game.

[@trueNahobino]

@@chrange9714 Yeah but those three to four were reused in nearly every single kingdom and even reused multiple times in the same kingdom. Ex: moons where you groundpound a random spot or catch a bird. If they had half as many moons, they could have put a bit more effort into making them more fun to collect.

[@HypeVoiceActing]

I'm just saying. Peach has Tiara. She can function just as Cappy. She has her own selection of outfits like Mario does. You'll satisfy people who don't want Peach to be another damsel. It's too good an opportunity to pass up, Nintendo.

A story about uncovering artifacts (moons) from the ancient hat civilization, or something that gives answers for the random elder souls dragon. It could be everything Arlo is asking for.

If you want to stick with the coins, how about 100 coins or make it costomizable so you can chose how harsh it will be. - Multiple playable characters. - Multiplayer. At minimum, you should be able to play with someone on a different switch.

[@nerdy_crawfish]

On the merging sandbox and linear Mario games, they just need to use A Hat in Time's format. Have multiple different worlds with multiple levels in each where some of the worlds are more sandbox and others are more linear. A Hat in Time also solved the too many moon issue by having yarn as a 'middle tier' collectable tied to progression (unlocking hats) that could fill the areas that were too easy for a time piece but needed something to reward exploration.

Cranky starts to sniffle and Donkey Kong places his hand on Cranky’s shoulder, they both share a look at each other and then they sit together and look at the horizon, are they expecting something? Suddenly they see a boat in the ocean, it’s definitely coming this way! They stand up and hurry to the beach to receive the visitors. Once the boat that’s getting closer they are immediately disappointed, there isn’t any monkeys on board but they can definitely recognize some faces, It’s Mario and Pauline and they are riding the Odyssey on the water. Cranky gets frustrated and starts to leave before the Odyssey could arrive. Donkey Kong stays to receive Mario and Pauline, they arrive and tell Donkey Kong they want to talk to Crank and him about DK Jr. with a concerned look on their faces. Donkey Kong panics, Mario reassures Donkey Kong and tells him that DK Jr. (who lives in New Donk City as the head accountant at city hall) is ok but has become a bit of a workoholic. DK Jr. is basically living in city hall working everyday and Pauline was trying to get him to take a vacation but he just won’t budge. Mario and Pauline want Donkey and Cranky to go to New Donk City and talk to DK Jr. into taking a vacation. Cranky, who was hiding hearing their conversation, comes out and start yelling at Pauline, “this is your fault!!!” “My boy won’t visit because of you!!! “You’re overworking him, he shouldn’t be a slave he should be free!!!”. Cranky’s words echoes, Pauline takes a step toward Cranky and he steps back, Pauline stops and says “DK Jr. is our best accountant, he chose to work for city hall on his own, and he can leave whenever he wants but chooses to bury himself with work. Every year I tell him take a break, go visit your family, please they must be worried sick, but this year, he just doesn’t want to leave work. Please he needs your help, come with us and talk to your son”. Cranky gather his thoughts, “I can finally see my son? But that accursed place, the last time I was there-“ Mario interrupts, “Cranky, I know you have some bad memories about New Donk City but I promise I won’t force you to do something you’re uncomfortable with, I’m a changed man, truly, and I want to help you.” Cranky stays silent, Donkey Kong looks at him in the eyes and says “it’s been so long since I’ve seen my dad, let’s go visit him, grandpa” Cranky responds “yes, let’s go visit your father” with a smile on his face. They all board the Odyssey and head towards New Donk City... I was thinking that when they get to New Donk City, DK Jr. is either kidnapped or rampaging because of mind control, I like the latter because Pauline could write and sing a song about DK Jr. to snap him out of the mind control. Anyways that’s enough fan fiction for one day.

[@scarletspdstr_]

My guess/hope as to why it’s taken so long is that it was planned as DLC before they switched to making a sequel, they had to pause development for 3D World+Bowser’s Fury, and are now back to work on Odyssey 2.

[@epiccow478]

Here's and entire pitch for Super Mario Odyssey 2: I think one thing to add to Cappy's movement would be "cappy surfing". Cappy surfing would make it so Mario could jump onto cappy, but instead of him bouncing up, he would ride cappy like a hover board for like 5 seconds. This would add a whole new layer to SMO speedrunning. Also, for SMO 2 story, bowser would kidnap peach again, but this time, Bowser is trying to collect all of the "ultra hats". Ultra hats are hats which would kinda function like the emeralds from the sonic games. If you collect every ultra hat you would transform into something similar to Super Sonic. There is one ultra hat in every kingdom you play through in SMO 2. Mario will collect every ultra hat, but at the end of the game, bowser will take all the ultra hats from mario and become *ultra bowser* [He'll look similar to Giga Bowser from smash bros]. For boss fights, you will fight the Broodals again, but they will be competing with the Flockers, which is a another group hired by bowser, to stop mario. The Flockers are an all birds group consisting of a turkey, chicken, hen, rooster, and a robotic chicken. Also, instead of having the mother broodal, they should instead put the father broodal for this game. The last kingdom for the original SMO was the mushroom kingdom, I think this time the last kingdom should be the Delphino Kingdom. Now, alot of people thought of this too, but didnt really have an idea of how it would work. I think that instead of just having the entire delphino island to explore, the entire island would be flooded with water. This would make sense, since in the original SMO it showed delphino to be covered with water on the map. The only remaining parts of the original delphino island would be the volcano and delphino plaza. The rest of the kingdom will be completely brand new. There will be like 30 islands scattered across the large body of water. Meanwhile, under water, there will be plenty of things to explore including, the brand new, delphino city which is a futuristic city under water. The delphino kingdom will be 3 times the size of Sand Kingdom. Now the last thing I have to say is, people really want use F.L.U.D.D. again. I think, in order to incorporate F.L.U.D.D., there will a robotic Mario with F.L.U.D.D. on his back, that you can capture. On land, F.L.U.D.D. will work just like it did in Mario Sunshine, But under water, F.L.U.D.D. will work like an under jetpack that you can use to maneuver through the large space of water in Delphino Kingdom.

5:03 the solution of the moon issue should be borrowed from zelda games. Each stage should have 6-8 chapter quests like mario 64/sunshine/galexy. Each give a full moon. All other moons should be "moon pieces", like heart pieces in zelda. Collect 4 to get one full moon piece. That is how zelda does it, get a new heart container for milestone achievements like completing a dungeon, get heart pieces for exploration rewards.

[@Buglin_Burger7878]

The problem is that Zelda isn't a game about gathering collectables... that design doesn't work as well in platformers as the pieces directly compete with the containers. Generally that doesn't work well as if the fragments are too plentiful it still invalidates Moons. The solution is a 2nd collectable. Spyro 1 does this by having Gems and Statues where the gems are used to unlock progression while so are Statues. Spyro 2 also expands on this by giving you a major collectable for reaching the end of a challenge while it gives you another one needed only at the end of the game for participating in challenges. If the game uses only 1 set of collectables then unless you 100% the game every run it leads to the game being about finding the best route through stages to get as few as quickly as possible and avoiding content that is less enjoyable even if it is still fun. In a way the game still ends up poisoned by the 1 set.

[@MatthewDoesThisNow]

Imagine this: -Luigi is playable from the start, with him and Mario having little differences in their gameplay and even interacting with each other. When playing as one, the other could follow you around, giving you the option to switch anytime. There could be puzzles where only one bro can complete them, giving insentive to use both. Plus, I’d love for them to actually talk to each other in cutscenes and during the gameplay, talking about things involving the kingdom around them. This mechanic could serve as a good way to bring people in too. -Wario and Waluigi are secondary villains, serving Bowser purely for the money. However, when Bowser refuses to pay them, they defect to your side in the final sequence, allowing you to play as them in the rest of the game. This would be Wario’s first mainline appearance since the super Mario land games and Waluigi’s first mainline appearance ever. -Delfino Plaza and Toad Town return to the series as kingdoms, with Toad Town presenting a different look at the mushroom kingdom away from the castle. You can explore Mario and Luigi’s home in the outskirts of the town, where the Odyssey would be parked, and a large market could be going on in the town itself to make it feel like a unique kingdom. Delfino Plaza would pretty much stay the same. There could even be little voice lines between the bros about how Luigi’s never been there before, as a nod to his absence in Sunshine. -Kingdoms like New Donk City return from the original Super Mario Odyssey, to add a bit more to connect the games. -Goomboss and Petey Piranha return as kingdom bosses for Toad Town and Delfino Plaza respectively, stating that they owed Bowser a favour. King Boo could also return for a haunted mansion Kingdom, to mirror Luigi and Mario’s levels of familiarity with Delfino Plaza by swapping it for the original mansion from Luigi’s Mansion. And that’s all my ideas. Essentially, I’d like the next Odyssey game to feel a little more connected with the Mario Universe as a whole, bringing back a bunch of older locations and revamping them to give them the Odyssey treatment. That and making this game a little look into how Mario and Luigi act with each other in regular scenarios, especially in postgame content.

Spitting 100 coins at the vine in Deep Woods is completely fine and pretty cool. Have no clue why you put that one there.

I feel like the best way to please both kind of fans is to let each style exist separately, and the folks who like a given style can get that particular game.

[@catmario-_3170]

For Super Mario Odyssey 2, I want the game to look more Marioified. Odyssey 1 lack elements that made Mario, Mario. A 3D World look would be nice. I want more traditional enemies. Koopas, (Yes they're in the game, but as NPCs not enemy) Thomps, Spike, Boos, Monty mole, pokeys, Bob bombs, boomarng bros, Magikoopas, Shy guys, etc. These enemies would work perfectly as captures. So much more opportunities can be used. I want the game to have of course new Kingdoms. And I have a few ideas. Haunted Kingdom. Pirate Kingdom (A pirate themed kingdom. Were you can go ship to ships, and explore some sand areas.) Mountain kingdom Sugar Kingdom (A dessert/candy themed kingdom) Big House kingdom (I got this idea from Nathaniel Bandy, but it works so well. For the big House kingdom, the mass of the kingdom can so huge as if you're a toy. And there could be an illusion were the sky becomes the roof of the house.) Jigsaw Kingdom (It's a Kingdom that's just a puzzle jigsaw themed. This could work very well and a lot can be done. Being able to capture puzzle pieces, and solve a jigsaw to get a moon would be neat.) And Isle Delfino. (This can be a throwback level like how Galaxy 2 had a throwback level from 64, Odyssey 2 could do the same. Petey Piranha can return as a boss, and maybe be able to be captured. Imagine Bianco Hills as a throwback level along Delfino Plaza as a throwback hub world.) Returning kingdoms from the first game. The Ruined Kingdom, cloud kingdom, and Snow kingdom should be expanded on more. I want to see Bowser Jr, and Kamek in this game. For this game's plot, Bowser hires the broodals again, but has Bowser Jr to take control over them. Broodals could return. Or even maybe the Koopalings can appear. Each koopaling could be a boss for kingdom. Here me out, I know they're reused a lot in NSMB games, but that's 2D Mario. Koopalings in 3D Mario could actually be expanded and be even better than their boss fights in the 2D Games. Koopalings can replace the Broodals, but the Broodals can still return as like secret bosses. Or could be the other way around. There could be another dark side like level. In Mario Galaxy 2, in World S, there's level called boss blitz. And it brings back Galaxy 1 bosses. So Odyssey 2 could do that exact same thing and bring back bosses from Odyssey 1, and those bosses are the broodals. I wanna see more characters make cameos in this game. Toadette, Pauline, and Toad were in Odyssey 1 as NPCs. I would love to see Daisy, Wario, Walugi, and Donkey Kong all as NPCs. Or maybe a reference to Wario and Walugi as Easter egg. New Donk City had many areas 80s arcade DK themed. I would love to see Donkey Kong himself in the game. Or at least a Easter egg. Donkey Kong Island could appear on the globe as a reference. Not playable, but there as a Easter egg. And lastly, I wanna see Luigi playable. Maybe for this game's plot, Cappy could have a long lost brother, and teams up with Luigi. Or just another Cap kingdom citizen can team up with Luigi. Either way, I wanna see him playable. And Multiplayer co op that has Mario and Luigi. Edited, I have one more thing I want the game to have lives and a game over screen.

Actually, I last year dreamed with Super Mario Odyssey 3. It started on a (lazy) final battle area set up high in the Sky, above a mountainous location (like Sonic Heroes's first Sonic CGi, but way too high above it, to the point the second half of the background was just the Sky almost at night). The platform itself was just a big circle with a purple carpet, and around there were ¿floating ropes? holding candles with fire. Bowser had a Roller Coeaster skeleton like machine, and he used it to throw Mario way too far away to the left corner of the map, making him land on an snowy area. The map was like Breath of The Wild, everything was interconnected. The Snowy area had a gigantic green pipe, as in gigantic enough to fill a complete Mall in there. Also, Mario was able to get back to the final battle area practically whenever he wanted to, just climbing between "?" Blocks placed around the world. I actually awoke while I was jumping the last set of blocks to return to the fight.
