Mario Odyssey Custom Levels in 2023 are Insane...

Today I decided to try out one of the most impressive Super Mario Odyssey custom Kingdom mods I've ever seen. The mod adds in an entirely new custom kingdom called Bon-Bones Mountain featuring a train station town and sub areas that include themes like volcanic mountains and vine filled skies. I had a ton of fun giving it a try so I hope you enjoy the video!

It’s crazy how creative these mod-makers are getting, just shows how desperate we all are for a sequel to Odyssey…

Hi Amy!

You know a mod is good if it makes even Amy impressed!

[@mazzy_ivy]

Hi amy :D do it, we love all ur stuff

Good mod

[@rigelaireiluminmarcellana633]

Hi Amethyst! Love your stuff by the way :)

[@Marverickluigi]

22:24 the ship, the moon name and some other stuff in it is all a reference to Super Mario RPG a fantastic Super Nintendo game and a some what of a "inspiration" to the Paper Mario series And for some other people who were big into newgrounds or gaming sprite animation you might recognize the ship and the name from a interesting series referred to as SMBZ (Super Mario Bros Z) Either way i love that the creator put it there (both the Sprite series and the Rpg game were my childhood) Edit: 23:44 this gigantic living sword is also a reference to the Mario Rpg game (I'm starting to think that this whole sub area is a different take + reference to "Bowser's place" in the rpg)

[@TrueWolves]

I'm surprised Fir has never played Super Mario RPG!

[@jasonrogers1990]

Smarty pants!!!😅

[@aidensnyder2420]

I'm pretty sure Paper Mario was called "Super Mario RPG 2" early in development, but I may be wrong. also the sword's name is Smithy

[@bvoyelr]

I saw the big axe ship and shouted in surprise, "it's barrel volcano!" Haven't finished watching the level yet -- hopefully the axem rangers make an appearance.

[@bvoyelr]

@@aidensnyder2420 Smithy is the name of the final boss. The sword is Exor. I am ashamed to admit I had to look that up -- it is my favorite game, but I haven't played it in several years. I also had to look up the name of the axe ship's attack - it is the breaker beam.

[@aubeary190]

Tbh I thought the title was gonna be overhyping it but some of these moons like the moai ones were really cool, better than a lot of the filler in base SMO. I was blown away by the visuals and map design especially for that cloud area. 11/10 mod

[@RadiantSharaShaymin]

It's especially nice that there's something interesting with each moon, not just extras to boost the count

[@Chris.Batchelor]

That Above The Clouds area is what Cloud Kingdom should’ve been!

[@BabyMatiny]

and the castle ruins is what Ruined Kingdom could have been lol

[@Lyra_dragonal]

Came here to comment just this!!

[@Roxlecmc]

it’s literally just cloudtop cruise from mk8…not that it’s a bad thing

[@Nintenblox]

It would be great in cloud, and the upside down thing would be a great level idea for Mario wonder

[@Sable_ish]

I love how we can finally make entire games out of the Odyssey Engine now

[@thomascunningham7164]

RIght!? Because Nintendo doesn't seem interested in making more Odyssey content 😔

[@RedMadMichael]

​@@thomascunningham7164 they literally teased Mario news after the movie came out, just wait

[@ryanrevell6475]

​@@RedMadMichael i wonder what the news was???

[@Pixel_Perfect101]

The reason that the boss fight didn’t work because the sub area was the moon cave and that file had already completed the moon cave boss fight.

[@J_AllDay]

Fir has gotta be one of the calmest gamers you’d ever watch. Massive respect.

[@mysticat]

AXEM RANGERS REFERENCE!!! :D

[@SuspiciousTemmie]

Everybody's talking about the (extremely impressive) mod, but can we just take a second to appreciate the music choices in this video? They're absolutely *fantastic!!*

[@Bromasterplays]

Well gotta watch it quickly before nintendo takes it down

[@thatrandominternetgeek]

Gotta love how creative and entertaining these videos are. Let's get Fir to 300K for all his hard work ❤️

[@vvlaze]

The Blade from Mario RPG showing up was a nice surprise! I love little references like that in mods.

[@ChrisGamingNL333]

I like how the custom map makers basically created super Mario Odyssey Maker but without the random enemy spam levels

[@philipwindsor2929]

The first sub area was cool and the second was amazing but the last one was CRAZY! good job for whoever made this it just blows my mind.

[@ninjmaster5609]

I love the creativity of this person and I love the how different captures work together to get moons

[@Kaempfdog]

Not gonna lie, I thought the sub areas were more impressive than the hub world. What a great mod. If you guys can iron out the glitches, these will be GREAT hide n seek rounds

[@PeachyFanboy]

These mods have always been insane

[@jadejacobs2221]

2:23 OH MY GOSH THEY ADDED ANT TROOPERS INTO SMO (they're totally not just reskinned Goombas) I WILL TAKE IT I LOVE ANT TROOPERS SO MUCH. 2:40 IS THAT THE STAR EXPRESS FROM CAPTAIN TOAD? WHOA. Great addition!!!!! Everything in this whole mod is amazing. This is super creative!! Can't wait to see more stuff! I wish I could build things like this, but the most I could probably do is draw them...

[@desertyoshi_plays]

I can't believe this mod is so cool that it has a Mario RPG reference!

[@itzgalactica]

This genuinely feels like something Nintendo made.

[@halcyon_exb]

True, but saying stuff like this is risky grounds right now with how Nintendo has been about removing creative content lately

[@gamestar4705]

All the more reason to watch as many videos like these as possible

[@strombreakr]

I literally just watched PointCrow's video addressing Nintendo's tyranny, and I am scared for this video

[@sonate6516]

SAME 😭

[@oddlynicole16]

Love how they used assets from Cloudtop Cruise in that sky sub-area

[@limzhixing2658]

isn't this from the stream yesterday? man, your editing is FAST

[@urwillyisrubbishbruh]

modders nowadays legit scare me with their talent 😭 love ur content, fir!

[@user-mv5uz2ut4t]

That was awesome. You need to do a hide and seek there, but each round only one sub-area is available, as they are quite large.

[@albevanhanoy]

Imagine all the new hiding spots you could find in here 👀

[@Manu__]

The last 2 sub areas were probably inspired by Mario Kart 8 and this was a brilliant idea. The first one is really similar to Cloud Top Cruise (The Giant ? Block models are probably ported from this map, same for the ship that you thought was from mario galaxy). About the second one the creator used a part of the Grumble Volcano model, thats why there were some arrow signs near the floor. Btw this is probably the most impressive mod i have ever seen

[@royalprof5629]

Wow all those custom tilesets for details like the drybone and drybowser shells. Also the second area gives me the vibes of cloudtop cruise from MK8

[@davidtv9036]

You know it's gonna be a Great day when fir uploads

[@boyscoutaw711]

You are absolutely right

[@LethalEagleSW]

Yes sir

[@PixelGamer7890]

Yea

[@shadowtrell9961]

The ship in the clouds area is the ship from Cloudtop Cruise in MK8.

[@fishybiller7896]

Nobody else seems to be mentioning it, the train is from captain toad treasure tracker. tbh, this entire kingdom seems like a bit of a love letter to captain toad tt. underrated game

[@pressedlilac6105]

Amazing work by Skydorm1!

[@sapphireblue4031]

You guys should do another hide n seek with custom kingdoms! There are so many more new maps. Also bring back the paper cutouts soon please. I love you using them so much

[@Dextergarfy]

loving your vids fir!keep up the good work!

[@Awesomellama572]

The sub areas felt like entire kingdoms

[@MultiDakman]

The Axem Rangers was one of the main bosses in Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars and that was their ship Edit: Also the giant sword sticking out of the tower across from the boss arena was also a boss in Super Mario RPG

[@Bladethird]

Yep. The ship is the Blade. And the giant Sword is Exor, who featured prominently on the cover of the box.

[@SuspiciousTemmie]

This mod is absolutely incredible, and having Fir's amazing commentary to go along with it just makes it even better!

It's crazy how far SMO modding has come tbh

[@squibble08]

i love how when he goes in the train the music switches to "the conductor's train" (i love a hat in time music lmao)

[@tylerowens]

That ship in the last subarea is a reference to the Axem Rangers, one of the coolest parts (at least for me as a kid) in Super Mario RPG on the SNES.

[@mariothane8754]

These were a lot of Super Mario RPG references. Climbing the vines into the sky kingdom. The volcano where the Axem Rangers ship was. My assumption was the fire boss from that game was supposed to spawn for that arena but I can see that that would be a ton of work.

[@Cdawg6429o]

Ooh the train is a model of the one in Paper Mario: TTYD

[@benjaminbaranoff8334]

I like the reference to captain toad treasure tracker with the train especially since their in association with each other.

[@73Arathorn]

Just makes me want to see hide and seek in each of those areas.

[@treecotreeco4898]

The whole mod is a nod to captain toad. The spinning thing at 1:55 is from one of the levels. Same with the train at 2:32. Sub area 1 at 11:22 is 2-1. And the purple coin icon is the gems from captain toad.

[@leozhang8874]

15:00 sky sanctuary from sonic 3 and knuckles

[@drbjomama912]

Love the Zelda reference at 15:34

[@MUSIC-bo8rg]

Would love to see this in a hide and seek game!!

[@protondium_8927]

That subarea with the lava maze (lavrynth??) is so cool. I love this kingdom!!!!!!

[@Woomvee]

The train is from Captain Toad Treasure Tracker! The regional coins are from there too!

[@tafaricruickshank8699]

Is there a track list for the video?

[@skydorm1]

Thx for playin the map, next one coming in 10 years when we finally get SMO 2.

[@sketchartyst]

This looks amazing!!

[@BadLuckKidShinji]

Hide and seek group in this kingdom would be awesome

[@Seafowl]

This is honestly super cool, if I had to complain, my main issues would just be the moon's names aren't that great (and the capitalization) and also there's clearly some limits because they had to reuse assets from SMO, but I don't expect a guy to completely model the kingdom themselves

[@UphillBridge]

2:32 That’s the train from captain toad treasure tracker 😊

[@superintendentvergil9928]

If you told me this was a DLC, I would definitely believe you

[@happygamer787]

19:00 I might be wrong but it looks like the ship is the model from mk8, from cloudtop cruise.

[@leabriana1223]

man i hope it's possible for these to work with hide n seek. so cool

[@Chocolate_cooki3]

19:20 the ship is actually from one of the mario kart game

[@bobolovesoze]

The train interior looks like the train from paper Mario thousand year door!!! This mod looks so cool

[@TheFuriousNightFury]

The ship in the cloud area is the one from Cloudtop Cruise in Mario Kart 8! Just very small. You can see the track and jump on it!

[@laylabeiruti4793]

These mods are amazing

21:48 I couldn't hear the name well, what's the name of that Spyro kinda dragon? Fun mod, love how so many modders are active for so many games.

[@lennonbeckers9223]

This should be in hide and seek or freeze tag with one round for each area / sub area

[@boy1015]

The cloud textures and ship are from mario kart 8

[@poppytea3333]

Amazing mod and a fantastic video! I was wondering, what music was playing in the beginning? I cannot for the life of me remember the name of the song.

[@adamtadeuszklasek3106]

it would be my pleasure to point out, T-rex Fir 0:27

[@daryncollins7640]

hide and seek in this would be crazy

[@tortoiselifefun2753]

14:30 the huge beanstalk is probably a kirby triple deluxe reference

[@Skulzsnipez47]

The SMO mod makers are under appreciated, they create so much great content

[@shreds0190]

Super Mario RPG Legand of the seven stars sub area? Officially my favorite mod that I have never played.

[@GavinsGreatVideos]

Fun fact: that train was in captain toad

[@zephaku]

I think that cloud area is based off of Cloudtop Cruise from Mario Kart

[@GPcarbone1]

I like how the castle has a Mario RPG easter egg with the sword in the tower at the back of the castle

[@johnwalshe5418]

The airship is the one from cloudtop cruise in MK8DX

[@firewolf096]

I seen someone else play this well the desert part and the giant block area

[@MisterDragon]

Axem Rangers! the nostalgia hit! They're a boss encounter in Super Mario RPG Legend of the Seven Stars on the super nintendo. Classic game, one of Square's best RPGs and the ancestor game of Paper Mario.

[@cravonomire9971]

Like smash bros at first there were some model and texture changes but now people are making whole new characters from scratch for the game

[@Froyo_Yoshi]

In the cloud area, the ship is from cloudtop cuise in mario kart 8 deluxe

[@swileyhedrick2373]

14:29 huh cloud kingdom is cool now

[@joevuch7981]

the cloudy sub area gave me dark souls vibe. The distant ruins and more environmental platforming

[@Dough_user681]

The last sub area I think is a reference to the dark lands from the Mario movie

[@emerl2002]

0:10 what the song that plays here? It sounds familiar, but I can’t remember

[@justsomeguywhoneverdies9210]

The upside down is my favorite

[@irishmonkeycowthe3rd180]

Yooooo it references seven stars :) (I used to love playing that.)

[@hahafuni1183]

Hopefully Nintendo doesn’t take this down

[@pokeperson1000]

Assuming the rangers Mio was a reference to smrpg. I wouldn’t know though, I’ve never played it.
