Dark Side actually has a bit of story. If you don't skip the Broodals' dialogues, we find that one wants to steal the Odyssey, and another wants to take revenge on Mario for them not getting any work after Bowser's failed wedding.

[@autismandgaming4532]

Yeah Dark side is essentially a broodal revenge fantasy

[@theearthkingdom7537]

The ruined kingdom is easily one of the most missed potential things in any Mario game. I love the idea but I wish the kingdom was just a little bit bigger so there was more to explore with the creepy aesthetic

[@ninjamaster9094]

I remember someone saying that the Ruined Kingdom would have been a great place to introduce boos and bring back Boo Mario in a way, which would have made for some cool puzzles. It also would have been neat to see some lightning puzzles that require you to move metal objects (or metal enemies) to conduct the electricity and power stuff, or if there was a climbing segment on a crumbling tower, not necessarily as a timed mission, but just the idea of climbing around ruins, especially with Odyssey's superb movement options, would be so cool.

Imagine how good the Cloud Kingdom could have been. Make the aesthetic somewhat like Sky Garden from Mario Kart Super Circuit, and the captures things like spiny-throwing Lakitus and Ty-Foos. The NPCs could be a cloud people of the sky, and it could be an exploration based kingdom. That would be AMAZING, right?!?

Ruined Kingdom was such a massive missed opportunity, but I still can't forget the moment I saw a Dark Souls dragon in a Mario game.

[@derpyface3602]

If ruined kingdom was bigger, you would capture the dragon after the fight and fly to different island structures across the place to do different stuff That’s my idea at least. Edit: there could also be Boos and dry bones to capture. Dry bones for smash, as a certain KZbinr once said.

[@JAProductions494]

The Honeylune Ridge theme is such a weird theme for me. It’s not a bad song by any means however, depending on the kingdom the song can have different meanings. When it’s in the Moon Kingdom it has that build up especially with the church bells but after you beat Bowser it just feels really calming. Darker Side also makes the song feel really relaxing after you beat the gauntlet. However, I personally think it sounds really ominous in Dark Side. It’s the mix between the muted colours, the bottomless pits and the music which is why I personally find Dark Side quite creepy. Anyone else feel the same way?

i think none of their aesthetics are typical mario. thats why i like cloud kingdom. its giving me a dream feel with the pastel rainbow ish colours and the grey white. i like the other small kingdoms aesthetics more but i dont think we should be dissing it so quickly. cloud kingdom just make me feel lonely and dull and i think thats exactly what they wanted. its obviously boring and if they added rainbows and pastel coloured pipes it would probably be my favourite kingdom aesthetic.

[@raphaelchan7574]

Ruined kingdom is my very least favourite kingdom in the game. The reason is simple: *it begs more questions than it answers.* While cloud is empty, it is presented and intended to be empty. It's meant to be this way, with no more of a story than a "This is an empty arena in a random place with no lore or background." Ruined kingdom, on the other hand, has this dramatic camera angle in the opening, yelling "Check me out, I have an edgy atmosphere and a deep backstory unlike anything else in the game". And then it slaps you in the face when you realise there is 1 platform, leading to another one. They had our expectations set so high and then give us nothing in return, like they could have unlocked just 1-2 other towers to explore after the fight and it would have had way more to offer. But instead we're left with a wasteland which takes like 20 seconds to explore.

[@taiyaki_emu]

If I were to make a list, it'd be... 4. Dark Side I have like....0 memories of Dark Side. I've completed it twice, and both times were many months ago. The one thing I do remember about it is the hint art. I'm not the biggest fan of the hint art, but OH MY GOD I LOVE THAT LUNCHEON SPOT THE DIFFERENCE ONE! It's a perfect mix of difficulty and fun and only took me 5 minutes to figure out. I also just really like spot the difference. 3. Darker Side I just completed Darker Side for the second time a week or so ago, and it was fun! I also may or have may not used Glydon skip because I hate that area with the spiky guys and Pokyo, but uhhhhh great kingdom! Very fun. 2. Cloud Kingdom I like the aesthetic of Cloud alot. I've always loved the thought of just being so high up in the sky that you can't see the ground. Very pretty kingdom, 9/10. 1. Ruined Kingdom Scream at me all you want for putting Darker Side at number 3 and Ruined at number 1, but I love this kingdom! it's my favourite kingdom in Mario Odyssey, actually.........mostly because of the dragon but who doesn't love dragons? Not me, I love dragons, and you'd know that if you seen my profile picture because it's a Wings of Fire OC. (not anymore lol, thank you to that person who replied so i can update this comment) Not only does it have a dragon, but I love the aesthetic alot, and I always like to come back to it. Hey, I even collected every moon in Ruined like last week. Amazing kingdom, very pretty, has a dragon, 11/10.

I think that at cloud kingdom after jou beat darker side a new pipe will apear with a bowsers face on it and if you can defeat him you can walk around the cloud kingdom. you can go to places what are blocks who only bowser can destroy and do new things.

The part where you were talking about the long climb up the grayscale version of New Donk City Hall reminded me of one of my favorite games of all time, Phantasy Star Online. In that game, the final section of the final level of Episode I ends with a massive room full of many enemies that you must defeat to get to the boss room (except in later versions, where this is bugged so only one wave spawns most of the time, resulting in a very anticlimactic final room). There is then a very long hallway that you have to walk down to get to the boss teleporter, building the player's anticipation and giving them a chance to think about their massive achievement of completing such a long and tedious level in one go. Then the final boss itself has three phases (two in the Normal difficulty), and is very challenging, making the anticipation well worth it. Phantasy Star Online may be a rather dated game in terms of the MMO genre, but it has many principles of good level design that you highlight in this series. It's one of SEGA's best and most underrated titles in my opinion, and a free-to-play rerelease of it can still be played using dedicated fan servers.

tbh i couldnt agree more, ruined kingdom has one of the best if not the best mario setting and it was such a missed opportunity to only make it a boss arena because im sure i and alot others would’ve enjoyed walking around a cascade kingdom sized ruined kingdom, and personally the dragons like one of my favorite mario bosses too, it dont fit but like u said thats prolly what makes it so cool

Basically, it had the aesthetic of Cloudtop Cruise from MK8, being set on not only clouds but on rainbows and on giant vines growing out of massive Brick Blocks and ? Blocks. I’d say it was a combination of Cloudtop Cruise, Gusty Garden Galaxy, Rainbow Road, Rainbow Ride and the cloud kingdom we got. There would also be the occasional airship alongside the gargantuan beanstalk and wispy clouds, some of which would have been overgrown by the vines. It would make use of all of the other kingdom’s captures in creative ways. For example, there would be a giant ? Block that Mario can’t hit, and you would need to capture a Banzai Bill and hit the Block with it to make the vine sprout out of the top. Another part had you capturing a Gushen to water a seed and make it grow. At the top there would be the area seen in the concept art, a vast expanse of islands atop a sea of clouds, mountains and waterfalls all supported by the clouds. Ahead would be the castle seen in the artwork, which would be inhabited by Lakitus. Some common captures would be Ty-foos, Bullet Bills, Wigglers, Octoombas, Stingbys, normal and fishing Lakitus, and Bloopers with the main capture being Flopters, which were enemies from 3D world. You could use it to jump high into the air and glide down slowly, similarly to the spin platforms in NSMBDS or the tornados in the Galaxy games. You would also do the drill spin like in NSMBDS when you ground pounded while spinning. Some other enemies included Fuzzies, the Angry Sun, Choppahs, and Thwomps.

You can make Mario Odyssey perfect, just uninstall the DLC with the Rosalina sprite :)

[@RedTHedge]

Okay but like why can't you appreciate the reference to Galaxy since Mario's on the freaking moon?

[@traviscunningham7062]

He hates Galaxy.

[@geraldgreg5370]

It makes since why the Cloud Kingdom is a mini kingdom because even though it's had it's own actual Worlds before like in New Super Mario Bros, most of it's iterations before were just sub areas within levels.

[@benjaliaanimations9860]

Really good video. Hope you make more in this series

[@thedubstepdoge]

The level by level series is soooo good!

[@goddy0_038]

I like how Odyssey is one of the few youtubers that actually read and reply to comments. Also, great video!

[@Odyssey_Central]

Thanks! I have a lot of fun reading comments so it always confuses me why others don’t seem to, maybe they just get a lot 🤷‍♂️

[@goldenyoshistar1]

47:13 Imagine if there were separate challenges that represented other captures that you could take? Maybe a section where you have to use the Gushen or Bullet Bill

[@dalegoodrem7151]

Odyssey central: the hardest hint art. Me: THE FRICON KEEP ONE BRO, AND HE FREAKIN KEEP ONE

[@cianoreilly9958]

Very enjoyable video discussing Mario Odyssey my favourite Switch game.

[@LucasDanielCab5]

I understand if you don’t make more long videos for a while but I enjoy them

[@waluigi1228]

I really like this video this is the video that got me introduced to you and I love rewatching it

[@JC02official]

When I first saw ruined kingdom, I thought it was going to be some sort of ghost kingdom where you can possess boos. A ghost possessing a ghost would be weird but amazing.

14:59 *Laughs in multiplayer*

[@Legithiro]

I’m gonna say this, besides the ending all you said about darker side’s story isn’t story it’s design

[@cretter54]

ok so idk if this is a well known fact but i just realized while looking at the cloud kingdom in this video that the little circle areas that bowser stands on have shadows that represent the phases of the moon and its such a neat detail

[@javiervina63]

I´m a new subscriber, love the videos, specially the Odissey content

[@peggyleong7494]

Please even if this does bad please do more because I really like these.

[@junkjingle5190]

I forgot you have 75k subs You deserve like 10 mill.you spend so much time on these vids

[@UngoatedTippyTipson]

I feel like both ruined and cloud should have at first seemed to be mini kingdoms but when you came back to them after the story mode there would be more areas in both kingdoms and it would be revealed that they were kind of like a yin-yang situation

[@stilyankiryakov6310]

**Conspirsy Theory** what if the ruined kingdom is not from mario's universe and from so other game? Also very interesting video, keep them going, Central!

[@PinkBread14]

Man I love your videos so much!

[@Alekspfg]

I love steve's simplistic smash moves (as in how they are animated)

[@notjebbutstillakerbal]

The music box in darker side hit me like a speeding truck of emotion.

[@turtleturtleturtleturtle]

44:18 I didn't even notice that they existed

[@fuhbox]

No, I didn’t know clouds existed in real life, thank you so much for teaching me this

[@bitonic589]

Lmfao

[@cytos]

14:33 Funny that you included Champion's Road as an example, even though you can literally skip the whole water section of this level.

[@charismaentertainer1657]

Honestly when you talked about dark sides story if didn’t really feel like you talked about to e story, more the boss fights and gravity. You didn’t at all mention how this is the broodals getting their final revenge on Mario, or how we were basically at the doorstep of their home. Not that it was great, but it bothered me.

[@arnaujor14t91]

That Goomba at 31:36 was hilarous.

[@RoadbloxGamer-uo8rc]

I hate cloud kingdom mainly cuz I feel like it had so much potential and that it didn’t need a moon rock but that could of been implemented if it was bigger and had more moons it was used once for a fight then never again and I think ruined does this better because it gives you a multi moon and has more moons. Edit: I think darker side is the best cuz it’s final dialogue and moon is sad but it’s not really a “mini” kingdom it’s all just one big sub area.

[@mattbarker97]

I'm surprised almost two years later i still didn't find a comment talking about the fact that cloud kingdom doesn't have the Mario picture match. Like...yeah, it doesn't count for that kingdom because it's not there - it's in the mushroom kingdom

[@DblTheTruth]

Why is the smash banner there at 7:52

[@JocaPlays87]

Yea ruined was such a missed oportunity, they could have made the kingdom a lot better if after breaking the moon rock, some plataforms appeared that led to a new area with the dark liquid on the bottom and a broken town with some moons here and there

[@WillowDaRobot]

Cloud Kingdom is just a really good Bowser Arena that shouldn't have even bothered to be its own kingdom. Also, Darker Side is my personal favorite kingdom in Super Mario Odyssey, and Long Journey's End is my favorite Power Moon.
