Mario Odyssey's New Kaizo Mode is Insane

[@smojoycon8780]

Sick video, thanks for showing off the mod. For people in the comments, the mod is built on a difficulty curve so if it seems too easy/moons are only moved that’s why. Also all moons of this is like, a lot and has a lot of stuff that would just take way too long.

A massive thanks to yourself and the other devs. You all keep content creation of the game alive.

[@Zack207]

For anyone wondering since I'm not sure he actually credited them in the video or description, this mod was created by RedSlay9 and SMOjoycon.

I find it hilarious he gave your comment a heart, but then doesn't bother updating the description.

@@ScyrousFX Giving a direct link to get the mod is seen as advertising it - to my knowledge, SmallAnt has already gotten into legal trouble because of a BOTW mod, it's better to just favorite the comment than risk a takedown.

I love how half the challenges are genuinely well-thought out and creative and half the challenges are just "we put this thing in the stupidest place possible, go get it"

[@beeftips1628]

When you remake pretty much every moon in the game you have to cut some corners somewhere.

[@SomeGalNamedEve]

@@beeftips1628 Yeah, I wasn't saying it's a bad thing. I honestly love it lol

[@joshburns1777]

A lot of the stupid placements seem to be subtly very deliberate though - like they’re at the exact spot that an exact, specific, required trick jump will get you to

[@whackareal]

I mean its made by two min caps runners lol

[@m4rcyonstation93]

Omg it's some gal named eve

[@FartingSpider12]

38:54 If magmanightcrow81 hadn't pointed it out in chat, I probably NEVER would have noticed that it was the editor doubling the outlined "required" moons the entire time lol well done After that it became almost impossible for me not to notice the outlines that the editor outlined behaving and looking differently than the others

[@Edc128]

I noticed that too! That the editor had to double the outline, not that they behaved differently until you pointed it out. But it was such a nice touch that must've been a pain to edit. Shout outs to the editor

[@directrix777shinyshinyamyt4]

Wait WHAT?! Oh my god, that’s impressive!

[@jakko_]

Wow, I didn't notice that!

[@8unnylover]

Holy crud!! I was wondering if SMO somehow had like a "intended moon count" option or something you could toggle that i didnt know about lol, thats actually incredible editing

[@akkemaster]

I love how he does trick jumps thinking he's cheesing or skipping something but turns out it was intended

[@luna_eclipse93]

It's really subtle but I love the fade out from the moon get screen immediately to the coin counter going down after dying at 56:22

[@heimskr2881]

Ooh yeah thats cool. But I think its likely just a side-effect of editing the dialogue to flow better

[@luna_eclipse93]

@@heimskr2881 it looks like it's very much deliberate, because if you pause during the fade out it still shows the moon get screen, whereas if it was just cut alongside the dialogue you would see mario falling instead

[@maggiesharon9932]

1:28:19 give us part two

[@isaagamerplays]

That's what I'm saying!!

[@ScyrousFX]

I like how this 1h30m movie just... ends. No outro, no part 1 in the title, no end card suggesting there'll be a part 2 - nope, nothing. And there's a real possibility there'll never be a sequel to this video, because it's happened before on his channel.

2:36 Agreed, Smant gives off major Sun Wukong vibes whenever he plays Hide & Seek. And 49:30 They turned it into Only Up you say? Did you know that foreshadowing is a narrative device in which a storyteller gives an advance hint of what is to come later in the story?

[@GrimnirTheWhite]
