Super Mario Odyssey Dev. Talk - ft. Mr. Koizumi

[@BoundaryBreak]

Thank you for clarifying the Hat vs Head debate!

[@Dashx64]

Shesez eyy shesez! So weird we actually got an official answer lol, see you next boundary break!

[@jarodaily]

He actually did not clear it out lol but if there’s something inside it then probably it’s a hat lol and yaaaay to boundary break!!

[@Dashx64]

J Daily I mean its probably his brain thats inside his head...just a guess

[@VinnimonCinnimon]

jonea.T. cupcake That show isn't Canon nor affiliated with any of the official Mario lore.

[@indiexcorex2]

Shesez now that video about toad is now outdated

[@FriskyCrispies]

From the very first question, you know this is gonna be good.

[@bawbehh]

aka Mr. Koizumi skillfully dodges every single question

[@emmajensen7774]

Bawbeh yup basically

[@cian2168]

Hey, at least we have an answer to the toad hat/head debate. And I was always on team head. DANCE FOR ME, MEASLY HAT PEASANTS

[@Carlos1515]

He's a magician. Art of misdirection

[@paradox4878]

He could be an American politician!

[@gdsaurmanex8804]

Paradox **Applause**

[@lukospicturehouse]

koizumi: "I wouldn't want to spoil it for people who haven't beaten it yet" video: *shows Mushroom Kingdom*

But what about the other thing?

[@92alois]

I think it was obvious that theres the Mushroom-Kingdom (sorry for my bad english i'm from germany)

[@ABlob]

@trialois: Not the Mushroom Kingdom with Mario 64 stuff.

[@albertthepeacock8020]

The Mushroom Kingdom is a staple in the series tho

[@The_Pikaboi]

Read carefully and listen to context. He said "for those still playing", so that can be speedrunners, and other people exploring. Second of all that was referring to finding secret areas, not the story kr new worlds.

[@Pau-sp9yp]

"I don't want to spoil anything for the fans who are still playing it" And then they show the mushroom kingdom...

[@gabrielamurillo9610]

Pau Gabarro Gabarro Hernandez LMFAO

[@AsecasJavi]

October

[@andremartins9605]

Pau Gabarro Gabarro Hernandez *LOGICC*

[@AniStormSonic]

But he's not about the mushroom kingdom, he's talking about something that we haven't found yet.

[@greenkidd529]

He is probably my talking about the coin stack above the stone building in underground temple

[@uhohspegettos7534]

Mario doesn’t have a belly button because he wasn’t born, he was delivered by a stork

[@aymenghanmi-wk1cq]

He was born then adpoted

[@shingosawatarihgx8345]

"thank you for playing super Mario odyssey". no, thank you for creating it.

[@aidangordon2713]

Shingo Sawatari/HGX Agreed.

[@NintendoFan]

So, team "Head" wins... I always rooted for team "Hat" but I'm ok with it, I guess. Also, Mario's belly button could be hidden under his shorts.

[@Gestersmek]

I dunno, the waist band on the shorts is too close to his pelvis for his navel to be there.

[@FuzueTV]

Você por aqui??? Ahahaha

[@TreeckoEnjoyer]

Wait so toad rips his head off in super Mario brothers super show?

[@-BEN-]

Red Falcon Jackson uhhhhh..........well......no one said toad wasn’t strange

[@TreeckoEnjoyer]

Ben Riley Toad is probably a special being who can live without his head and detach it as he please.

[@caliklepto1316]

LOL starting out with a meme

[@jackm3692]

just like the sidon one

[@tvuserjt]

1:04 At least he doesn't say "Peach hates Mario, left him of the moon and went on vacation to get rid of him" like everybody else.

[@Fodimin]

I love how they put coins in unexpected areas like that, it shows how much they respect the people who go out of their way to maximise their exploration of the game. This game's amazing.

[@Rickby]

I love this game so much, I hope they plan on adding more kingdoms and moons in the future

[@durkadur27]

Sequel > DLC

[@commanderv23]

durkadur27 yes, however dlc comes sooner than a sequel. I’d rather wait 6 years for a sequel and get some dlc than 5 years for a sequel with no dlc

[@javyon]

Ye

[@Eli-uq1ff]

@rigby I think I’ve seen in the flamingo/Albert comment section. HI

[@durkadur27]

not if they do what they did with Galaxy

[@ABlob]

!!Spoiler warning, it spoils the endgame of Odyssey!! Anything after question 4 should be avoided if you don't want to get spoiled.

[@toucjason9564]

Not all heroes wear capes. ... Unfortunately, I didn't see this comment sooner. Haha!

[@fryoneside6719]

You're a true hero.

[@stru1006]

Technically the game its self spoils the mushroom kingdom since at the beginning when mario is fighting bowser on the airship you can see the mushroom kingdom clear as day

[@lincolnbeckett8791]

A Blob Too late 😖

[@javyon]

I should avoid you

[@magiciansapphire9278]

Thank and the entire Nintendo Team for Super Mario Odyssey.

[@mimakos]

ITS HIS HEAD MATPAT

[@Crewgasm]

But hey, remember, it was only a theory

[@casplays2318]

Thank you for creating such an amazing mario game, first mario game I have loved since mario 64!

[@MetaWulfTV]

Mario wasn't born from biological parents though. He was brought by storks, Along with his brother Luigi. That right there explains him not having a belly button.

[@toadrice]

And why he is so short, and have a huge nose compared to other humans, like Peach and The New Donkers.

[@_Fuscous]

@@toadrice Because the New Donkers aren't humans. They're New Donkers.

[@paedofilegaming]

@@_Fuscous "because Mario isn't a human, he's Italian"

[@portal4ever257]

Nintendo you’re incredible before odyssey I hadn’t played a new mario game since galaxy 2. No other mario game had interested me since then. So I thought I was done with the franchise. But you weren’t done with me, Odyssey was not only one of my favorite games of 2017, It brought back the inner child in me the one who grew up playing your games. Thank you🙂

[@marcovi2806]

Mr. Koizumi should co-produce the Mario movie.

[@wandererman21]

This guy is really special and I hope to see more of his games very soon.

[@supaoofta]

I'm Reggie for Super Mario Odyssey 2

[@prox8437]

I'm Reggie too

[@Joe-ou8pn]

Yea and with Yoshi plz

[@ArikaPF1]

The bit about the bugs and hidden areas makes me smile every time lol

[@sakariske]

I really love Mario Odissey, full of secrets and an excellent gameplay

[@viewtifuljoe99]

I love how crazy these questions are for an official Nintendo video. A different era that's for sure.

[@moldingthegalaxy]

Controversial Opinion: Koizumi >>> Miyamoto While Miyamoto's a legend veteran, Koizumi has always integrated a bizarre and new creativity into every game he has worked on (Odyssey, Majora's Mask, and Links Awakening to name a few), a creativity never really seen in other Nintendo games. I respect Miyamoto, but even I cant deny his influence has lead to the downpoints of many modern nintendo franchises due to his rigid belief on game design.

[@jonolucas9935]

Totally agree, since the start of his career he has helped sneak in new ideas to gameplay and story development. All the games he has worked on have such unique concepts and designs. I did not even realize the gravity of him being a head director till now. Thanks for the enlightenment

[@RetroActionLP]

He turned Rosalina into a three dimensional character, by writing a whole backstory about her on his own in a single night (I think)!! Isn't this awesome? :D

[@metashade4218]

Completely agree. In fact I'm actually really glad Miyamoto wasn't in charge of making Odyssey. Because if he was, he would've given it the Sticker Star/NSMB treatment. Have all NPCs as toads only, only contain enemies from the NSMB games, have the bosses be the koopalings only, have Bowser turn giant for the millionth time etc.

[@Jdudec367]

that's not true at all and I mean what's wrong with the NDMB series?seeing as ow he is basicly the master or king of Mario and even Zelda he remember that he was the execudive producer for galaxy whitch still no koopalings in the 3d games I wish they would appear atleast once

[@Hero_IK]

Hold on, HE WORKED ON MAJORA'S MASK?! Dang, now I both appreciate the game and him even more.

[@KindOfAShadow]

Nice too see a Dev. Talk but it really feel someone on the editing team sped up the footage.

[@invock]

The most important question of 2017 finally gets an answer!

[@davidabbott8967]

You are a genius my friend, thank you for this glorious game

[@CrystariumNet]

THeres are the deep questions, the ones that keep you up at night... trippy...

[@VonFirflirch]

"How do they put the M on -the M&M's- Mario's cap?"

[@AlfredKamon]

He didn't really tell much, haha. Thank you for creating this game anyway, Mr. Koizumi. (psst, new Direct please?)

[@lightlytoastedrye]

Luke Stuard Why did you copy paste the definition of patience

[@lukes.854]

TableLegs because people need to learn and gain it

[@lukes.854]

Fire Fenix yeah, it took so much time to put in the words "definition of patience" and copy/paste it (sarcasm)

[@QT_Jeanne]

The real question is... where's Daisy in Super Mario Odyssey??

[@gisming]

Daisy is the best

[@Lodekac]

Super Mario Odyssey is my favorite game ever!

[@Kezuegi]

Zelda is 1000x better! #beef

[@xplayer1280]

Nope, Mario will always be the best one on the videogames.

[@reneruyssenaars4631]

??? ??? Yeah. Thats kinda obvious

[@JuciyMangoArt]

Nah fam It about that *VROOM IN THE NIGHT SKY* 10/10 GOTY!

[@Marku912]

RandomHunter 28 OMG......savage.........not.

[@therealZThaDon]

So when Toad took off his "hat" in the Old Cartoons(Super Show And 3 because Mario World didn't have Toad) it's Actually his Head!!!! That's One Messed up Mushroom

[@Makochips]

Toad: *IM THE BEST*

[@therealZThaDon]

Fixed Fun Ik I was just joking around about what happened in the past. Plus There a little Canon because they reflect of of the games of that time. (Super Show-1 and 2) (The Adventures of SMB 3- SMB3) (Super Mario World- SMW) But to sum it up I was joking

[@nickolias7292]

One of the best interviews I've ever seen.

[@SwitchKraftMan]

Amazing to see the inner workings of such a great game. Inspired me to be a KZbinr! I’ll be streaming this game soon!

[@memoryman3586]

The most important video about games in 2018 (so far)

[@gamefreaksmosh7]

Where's the "Its Toad's Head" Crew at?

[@DumplingDoodle]

Right here buddy, right here.

RIGHT HEREEE!!

[@gdsaurmanex8804]

Here

[@Dead_by_Design]

Esketit!

[@jackeroni216]

In the reply section!

[@KenLinx]

Some say Koizumi is still wearing the Super Mario Odyssey attire to this day.

[@sirTyperys]

That's afro that toad has on his head.

[@JonathanMartinez-xp7wc]

That explains everything

[@wonderfulone2902]

I loved his reaction to the volleyball question. We can all relate to that I'm sure!

[@damoni6197]

Wasnt expecting that first question

[@kawaiigoomy3487]

Thank you, Mr.Koizumi & team, I hope you live long happy lives. ^-^

[@perry9393]

In the next update, we want the belly button

[@SmashyPlays]

Egoraptor? Wait no

[@perry9393]

SmashyPlays An egoraptor fan

[@jayo1212]

And a hairy chest for good measure!

[@strifeexcalibur]

@2:18 I actually like that, if people find those types of places or errors, also depends on the difficulty to achieve them, instead of fixing them, it instead rewards you for finding those areas.

[@benbaez6044]

Toad's head is actually filled with Jelly yeah

[@Squantle]

I adore this game and am proud to say I 100%ed it within the month of November. Despite that, I constantly revisit it to try crazy challenges and jumps. Also, that thing on Toad’s head is totally a fungal infection

[@Mario-rc4oc]

Squantle but Toad is a Mushroom Person

[@Aqua_Toad]

The next president of Nintendo, everyone!

[@smg5333]

Aqua Toad he already is

[@djinnhoopa7599]

smg 5 No he isn't

[@justadragonnamemarcus1751]

NOPE

[@AlphaTheKoolKid17]

This man knows how to dodge questions like a pro

[@Daidus]

Whoever thought Toad's head was a hat; I bet you're the same people who like pineapple on pizza

[@gisming]

Yup

[@WunderwaffePrime]

Nice video, I'd love to see more in this style where the devs talk about games such as Splatoon. :)

[@RussellSmith91]

Big love to the play testers and debugging team there. They go where they shouldn't be able to go? Big ol' stack of coins. Well played.

[@swagkirby3449]

Ever since I was a kid I always knew that Toad's mushroom wasn't a hat

[@KirbyMaster]

IT’S A PARACHUTE!!! (as confirmed in the Super Show)

[@gdsaurmanex8804]

The super show doesn’t count lol

[@KirbyMaster]

Oh dang

[@arinwolfe4853]

0:39 FINALLY AN OFFICIAL ANSWER THANK YOU MR. KOIZUMI!

[@lukes.854]

Doesn't want to spoil a hard to find moon Then the video proceeds to spoil the mushroom kingdom

[@MonoKamado]

Such a great person. Love him!

[@TheNintendoGuy]

Nintendo, just admit it. Mario and Peach love each other and if you were honest, they would be married right now.

[@aidangordon2713]

Ivan Um... I think "Moongate" sort of ruined that. Example: Peach goes on vacation WITHOUT MARIO immediately after her return. Doesn't that seem suspicious to you?

[@TheNintendoGuy]

But that's just out of character. It's honestly pretty stupid, they keep hinting and hinting and then they break our hearts by giving us this.

[@trentoninnewjersey]

I first got this game Christmas Day 2017. I beat the main story mode in 4 days with about 165 moons. About a week later, I got to dark side and beat the Robo Broodal. A month later I got to Darker Side of the moon and spent about 2 weeks trying to beat it (I was only 11 years old at the time). After beating it, I took a break for the game, though I’m not really sure why. I came back at the beginning of quarantine in 2020 and was immediately reminded of how much fun I had back when I first got the game. For the next month and a half, I went from the 503 power moons that I had after first beating darker side, to getting all 880 collectible story moons, got 999 power moons, found and spent all purple coins in every kingdom to get all stickers and models for the Odyssey, got all costumes, and fully 100% beat the game. I had never felt so accomplished. During December 2020, I even went back to do the infinite jump rope glitch to get 99,999 jumps in the metro kingdom jump rope minigame. This is one of my favorite mainline Mario games, and still holds a special place in my heart. It was the most hype I’ve ever had for a video game.

[@Rigbone64]

LMAAAOOO THAT'S THE FIRST QUESTION???? 😂😂😂

[@sameold23]

In the cartoon back then, it was a hat for toad when he used it to safely land on the ground.

[@r3n3gad33]

Galaxy > Odyssey

[@hebi-snake1846]

Galaxy = Odyssey... it's my opinion

[@mondothegrunt7649]

Fight me

[@Sam-se5vs]

Galaxy 2, maaybe. But galaxy 1? Nah

[@villabong11]

Haha good one buddy

[@toucjason9564]

Yeah, we get it. Structure, story, engagement, it's all in Galaxy, but Mario Odyssey is something else that's equally as wonderful.

[@wendydoyle8393]

Yoshiaki Koizumi thank you for the perfect Super Mario Odyssey ( I had to look at the box to spell that! ) It was one of the best games I've ever played even though I can't beat the Darker Side yet, It's still amazing. My favorite kingdom was either: Wooded Kingdom (Steam Gardens), Seaside Kingdom (Bubblaine), Snow Kingdom (I forgot the name) and Moon Kingdom (I also forgot the name). Some of my favorite music is: Bonneton, Steam Gardens 8-Bit, Lake Lamode Underwater Passage, Tostarena Night 8-Bit, New Donk City Night 1, Bowser's Castle 2, Mollusque-Lanceur Battle 8-Bit, RoboBrood Battle, Run Jump Throw! 2 8-Bit, Subterranean 1 8-Bit, Subterranean 2, Caves, Another World and RC Car (Because it sounds like a Mario Kart track). Thank you so much for this stunning game that in my oppinion is very successful!

[@andrewsouthward7946]

I LOVE MARIO ODYSSEY❤❤❤

[@Nexils]

That's actually pretty cool that they confirmed that it was Toad's own head all along. And it's something I actually wanted to believe from the start.

[@KingDanieltheDandy]

They ask the real questions at nintendo

[@inklingmario5974]

Thank you Mr Koizumi for making an incredible Mario game.

[@nixie9568]

NINTENDO DIRECT!

[@enriquepinero707]

Can we have Luigi as a 2nd playable character in coop mode?

Go, Luigi!

These are actually good questions

[@OnurArda]

0:08 Is this even a question?

[@solareclipse15]

Arda Karadoğan yes

[@ABlob]

They also forgot to end the bracket so the whole rest of the video was in a bracket.

[@riikonen1884]

No no! Its Steamed hams!

[@solareclipse15]

Real Deal Genius

[@SuperMarioSignature]

I though Nintendo was family friendly. This deserved a R rating

[@CTimmerman]

The Adventures of Super Mario Bros. 3 ep "Tag Team Trouble" shows Toad without his hat.

[@waheedabdullah6371]

My question to everyone is, who gave up trying to get 100 jump ropes and bought a Power Moon? Just wanted to see if I wasn't the only one

[@Sanoku71]

Waheed Abdullah That doesn't really do much considering you don't need every power moon to progress to the end of the game and also if you DID want to 100% the game you have to get all the actual moons anyway. You can't just buy moons, you need all 880 of the actual acquirable ones. So purchasing just one moon in substitute of a hard challenge really doesn't make sense or mean anything. Either way, it was a little hard I suppose.

[@Sanoku71]

SinVex That wasn't my point. I never said you could 100% the game without buying moons. You have to buy 119 of them. But anything over 119 is wasted money since you have to get the 880 physical ones. My entire point was that the dude's comment was asking people if they gave up on a specific moon and just bought it. As in... one moon. As in... That's kind of pointless lol. Also, you can't turn the Odyssey's balloon color gold unless you get those 880 moons anyway (which in turn is part of "100%"). You can get 999 moons through buying them, but if all 880 physically acquired ones aren't part of that, you'll just have the regular color. Of course, you can still go back and get them even at 999 moons to make it go gold, you just won't see a number increase past 999 and it's wasted money essentially. Then there's the postcard, costumes, all the purple coin items, hat on top of Peach's castle, etc.

[@Sanoku71]

SinVex What exactly am I not getting according to you? My entire point was that skipping a moon at any point stops you from getting a true 100%. He has to purchase 119 moons either way yes, but his entire comment was asking people "hey did anyone think the jump rope was too hard and did you end up just buying the moon lol?" And i said that comment makes no sense because for casuals who just want to experience the story or get to the next stage, you only need a small portion of the level's total moons. You can beat the game with like 200 or whatever. And if you're a completionist, you can't skip any moons, so you wouldn't skip it. What about that didn't make sense?

[@FireSonicYT]

i got the 100 jump ropes

[@danielleallen3149]

I did the jump-rope glitch

[@lazo8709]
