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!

[@WyattW_]

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

[@mazzy_ivy]

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

[@Jelly_shy_guy_man]

Good mod

[@aireplane]

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.

[@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

[@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

[@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.

[@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!!*

[@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

[@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

[@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...

[@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 ❤️

[@desertyoshi_plays]

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

[@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.

[@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 😭

[@ninjmaster5609]

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

[@oddlynicole16]

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

[@PeachyFanboy]

These mods have always been insane

[@mysticat]

AXEM RANGERS REFERENCE!!! :D

[@Urlocalflop69]

:D

[@prolouis]

What the hi

[@FrogmallowArmy]

[@salladExists]

!!!!

[@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.

[@limzhixing2658]

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

[@albevanhanoy]

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

[@urwillyisrubbishbruh]

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

[@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

[@adamtadeuszklasek3106]

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

[@shadowtrell9961]

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

[@Dextergarfy]

loving your vids fir!keep up the good work!

[@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)

[@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.

[@Woomvee]

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

[@Cdawg6429o]

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

[@davidtv9036]

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

[@boyscoutaw711]

You are absolutely right

[@LethalEagleSW]

Yes sir

[@PixelGamer7890]

Yea

[@superintendentvergil9928]

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

[@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

[@coolguy_cr]

Hopefully Nintendo doesn’t take this down

[@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

[@bcsbernard]

It's crazy how far SMO modding has come tbh

[@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.

[@MUSIC-bo8rg]

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

[@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

[@wantedasylum1091]

The thumbnail alone, made my jaw drop to the floor.

[@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.

[@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.

[@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

[@protondium_8927]

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

[@drbjomama912]

Love the Zelda reference at 15:34

[@sketchartyst]

This looks amazing!!

[@benjaminbaranoff8334]

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

I worry about that title given the recent news with nintendo going nuts especially about mods.

[@Skulzsnipez47]

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

[@leabriana1223]

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

[@fussfuss7850]

this is insane because most of the Mario mods I have seen were retextured areas

[@PomadaGaming]

0:23 yooooo

[@skydorm1]

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

[@CreativeStoryteller35]

Just goes to show how many creative ideas people who dont work for Nintendo can have.

[@Awesomellama572]

The sub areas felt like entire kingdoms

[@tytheghost3024]

10:03 "I know it doesn't look hard but I promise it is hard" Just like me fr

[@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!

[@zephaku]

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

[@Nintendude1]

The ship in the second sub-area is from galaxy 1 I think

[@bobolovesoze]

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

[@joevuch7981]

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

[@GPcarbone1]

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

[@lennonbeckers9223]

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

[@perrytheplatypus4620]

Holy shit, these mods are amazing!!

[@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.

[@bonesmalone6532]

What can I say, those benches are comfortable

[@tortoiselifefun2753]

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

[@stormy2049]

Ever since people started making custom levels in SMO this is the kinda things I dreamt about

[@lsakfan]

I honestly hope Nintendo doesn't copyright strike this..

[@jjonesyjr]

I’m pretty sure the Ship from the sub area is from Mario Kart

[@UphillBridge]

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

[@thegreatmajora13]

and now we wait for the inevitable crossover of hide and seek with modded maps

[@thecriticalalchemist7620]

The Axem Rangers ship was sick!!!!!

[@ivanthegreativan_rodriguez4958]

The lava-related subarea looks like something out of the Super Mario Bros movie.
