Honestly, one part of the postgame I find underappreciated is the Worlds themselves. It's great seeing all the stuff Bowser Stole being returned to each world and having residents from each world visiting ones outside of their homeworlds, and having Peach and Tiara visit them too.

[@wariolandgoldpiramid]

and ESPECIALY after Peaxh returns home, and all the residents come visit Mushroom Kingdom. I just love how they are all making their impressions of the kingdom. I love how they are hanging near their respective boss towers. And I just love how they are discussing their own kingdoms with each other. Having a New Donker talking about Jump Rope Challange, a snail about Volleyball Challange, and a mermaid saying "I don't do challanges, but I keep track of the Ranking Boards" is just one of those things that makes the world of Odyssey feel like big world, rather than completly seperate areas.

On the topic of the achievements... I wasnt too impressed with them, considering you will get them all just by going for 100% anyway. I don't ever recall actually ever looking at an objective from Toadette, and specifically going out my way to do them. I just got them without realizing. So it literally did not change the experience at all for me since I was already aiming to finish every kingdom 100%.

[@dinoman6481]

TheLonelyGoomba I guess that those achievements aren't really supposed to have an effect in completionists like you and me, they are supposed to encourage players that aren't completionists to play more of the game, and to me that is a really nice thing.

I´m with you. The Mushroom Kingdom was great... and then we had the two moon variations. I hate the moon kingdoms, which is a shame because I adore the rest of the game. I think having a Mushroom, Delfino, and Galaxy kingdom for the endgame would have been better.

[@theoldfinalchapters8319]

While the idea of achievements/goals was good, the implementation was pretty poor. Not only do you just naturally get them, but it takes forever to actually collect them. I sat there for over 10 minutes just mashing A, waiting for Toadette to stopping telling me I'd "gotten another achievement". I would have preferred challenges rather than achievements. Some you could get for free, but most would be something else, like doing a challenge without using the capture. Of course, if you get a bunch at once, there should be a condensed notification for it.

[@StupidMarioBros1Fan]

I think what should've happened is she tells you what Moons you've earned, play the Got Moon animation once, and all of a sudden tons of moon icons appear on the screen. The achievements idea was cool, but sitting there repetitively talking to Toadette and watching Mario collect a Moon was awful.

[@jonathanwilliams1271]

**coughGalaxy'scometscough**

[@dragonhunter8807]

what you describe is exactly what "good" achievements should be. Out of the way challenges. Not super hard, not tedious. Arlo got this wrong in my opinion, the mindless achievements are worth nothing for any game out there.

[@telekinesticman]

"Up next on KZbin, Joesph Anderson's 2 hour long video essay about all the bad moons in Mario Odyssey!" Bit of an odd choice there, KZbin. To be clear on my opinion, I'm in the middle of these two viewpoints. I did get everything in Odyssey and enjoyed it 90% of the time, but I must admit that a lot of the moons are pretty filler. My favourite ones were always when I got some cool new platforming challenge to do, not so much the ones where I just pound the ground or something.

[@LordEpos]

Maybe I'm insane, but I wanted more. Specifically, something between Mushroom Kingdom and Dark Side. The difficulty spike there was insane, most of the bosses in the Mushroom Kingdom were as difficult as the FIRST Broodal.

Dude, you deserve more subscribers! This video was really, really good!!

[@djdeadbeat4380]

I do like Mario Odyssey a lot, but I feel like the long, long path to getting every moon in the game is beyond tedious. Perhaps it's just me, but by the time I finished 100%ting New Donk City, I was so burned out and bored with Odyssey that I haven't played it for months. When you're scouring each kingdom for moons, it feels less like you're playing the game for a purpose and more like you're playing a grinding simulator (don't read too much into that). I'm also probably the only one who thought the game was better before the ending fight with Bowser. Then, in each kingdom, I felt like there was a reason to collect moons. I needed to power up the odyssey so I could chase after Bowser and save Peach. After that's done though, you just....kind of continue collecting moons because you want to. There's no reason to do so besides the fact that game wants you to. This is not me hating on Odyssey. I do like this game a lot. It's a fantastic game, and I'm grateful to Nintendo for putting so much effort in. But I simply found the endgame dull. I don't speak for anyone but myself. If you agree with anything I said, please respond below, beacuse I haven't met anyone else who agrees with me lol.

[@AEmyDeAngelis]

Jarin Reiswig 100% agree

[@chill395]

I just 100% the because i wanred and im a completionist so i cant do anything bout it

[@kumasama2449]

Honestly for me the funniest part wasn't to collect a moon in itself. The funniest part of finishing the game at 100% was that big treasure hunt with the paintings on the dark side of the moon or the little funny challenges that you've missed. That feeling of finding a moon is better with what i've done to have it, because yeah the moons are worthless after the darker side passed, but that's how i've get that moon that was interesting :) exactly like collecting strawberries in Celeste, it isn't useful but it's still funny. And that's why i don't understand critics that doesn't like this, because well yeah at the beginning of the game there is a lot of easy moons, but when you finish the story well they aren't that easy to get. But hey that's my opinion, and i respect yours even if i don't see how it's dull. ^^

[@inasznee]

I agree with you dude. When you have 880 moons you have to buy them to reach the 999 moons, and for that you should have like 9999 coins to spend. And after all what's your reward?

I honestly never thought the post game content of Super Mario Odyssey would be so... Amazing. The fact that the moon rock breathe a bit more longevity into each kingdom as well the two bonus moon areas after Mushroom Kingdom pretty much makes the game harder to put down! Plus the addition of achieving feats results in more moons from Toadette is the most exciting thing of all! Oh, and the Mushroom Kingdom? I love how it is depicted in this game!

[@Cookieglue]

I must say that I completely disagree with you about Toadette being one of the best parts of the end game. I feel moons have no value once Toadette is giving you moons for GETTING moons. And there is no way to skip through all of the moon jingles! The moon rocks had great potential; they could of ramped up the difficulty sooooooooooo much! But instead, it was mostly busy work. They even SHOW you where the moons are on the map, which ruins the part of mario oddesy about EXPLORING.

[@lugyd1xdone195]

The main game moons were there for you to get to explore and know each kingdom, especially the easy ones. But once you get to know it there isnt really a point of exploring it again, it would not be fun or enjoyable. The endgame moons are more supposed to be a challenge to collect rather than a chore to find. I really think its better to have that nostalgic feeling of: "Hey, Ive been there!" rather than "Oh, so here it is...", you know what I mean?

Why is it "?Butternut Squash" instead of "Butternut Squash?"

[@frostiikin8158]

oh crap lol, lemme fix dat

[@SticktheFigure]

Cheevos? Like that one guy who built his life around collecting them? God bless you, Arlo.

[@theletterm5425]

8:01 „there is no grinding here“ ...wat? Some of the achievement moons are literally „jump X number of times“ or „collect X number of coins“. I mean yes some of those you‘ll get naturally by just playing the game but I‘d say some do require quite a bit of grinding to get!

[@Sethalonian]

Getting all the costumes also required grinding. I had to spend 3+ hours on the Iceland special level collecting coins get them all. It was annoying.

[@theletterm5425]

Yep! That 9999 coin skeleton costume took me quite a bit of grinding to afford. Wasn‘t really worth it now that I think about it haha

[@danieldavid3766]

Good thing Balloon World exists now

[@Ben-sx6ew]

I am going through each kingdom one by one and collecting all the moons, and it helps to memorize each kingdom!

[@AbruptAvalanche]

I really loved Odyssey, but I think the cube moons were a big missed opportunity. There were a few challenging ones, but most of them were on the same caliber of difficulty as the normal game's moons. This is especially true because they're already all marked out on your map. I'm okay with Nintendo making the main game easy for the kids, but I feel like end-game content like this should be more of a challenge. To get to this point, you must already be good enough to beat the final level/bowser, so why not make the new moons at least that difficult? Even if some people struggle here, it's not like you'd miss out on much by not getting all the moons. And I have to totally disagree about the toadette achievements. That was probably the most blatant padding in the whole game. If you plan on 100%ing the game (like I was), then you'd be doing all of those achievements anyway. And if you're not planning on 100%ing, then why would you even care about getting those things listed? Most of them I had already achieved by that point in the game without even knowing it. And then the icing on the cake is that you have to talk to toadette for each and every one-it's just a big waste of time.

When I got to the Mushroom Kingdom and saw the desert, mountains and fields out in the distance I couldn’t help but get the same feeling I got when I first started playing Breath of the Wild. Kinda made me wish all of that unseen part of Mario’s world was explorable.

[@cosmickid6852]

Getting moons in oddessy for me feel like a chore tho

[@DingusBingus1]

I get what you’re saying about the value of getting moons, but it feels like Nintendo ran out of things Mario had to do for a moon and just said “Just stick them on a platform or something” It was tons of fun, but not even Nintendo can find 1000 unique and fun little challenges for the player to take on. And it got tedious doing the same thing in every kingdom for an extra moon or two. A prime example is the koopa foot races. But I found it more fun to completely forget about collecting moons and just moving through the levels aimlessly in search for purple coins that might be in that place I was already at 4 times already. When I hit a wall, I wanna find a way to jump it. When I see a gap between two places, I try to cross it. Simply moving in this game is exciting to me. As a result, I’ve only gotten about 600 moons in the month that I’ve been playing it religiously. In summary, there’s too many moons and not enough Pauline dialogue. Goofing off is just as fun as finding the good moons

[@Matthew.Morcos]

And then came Luigi’s Balloon World

[@thepredman9lol266]

This is one of my favorite Arlo videos. He just sounds so happy!

[@Renigade68]

Huh, I thought the lacking endgame was actually one of the worst things about it, I loved the main game but it was rather short, when I got to the end it felt like it should've been twice as long, but I didn't really mind cuz I figured the second half of the game would be the post game, but it wasn't, you got one extra world with Peach's kingdom and 2 bonus-challenge worlds with the dark and darker sides of the moon but those didn't really interest me so it was pretty much just that one world, and exploring all the worlds again when I had already done that once felt boring, I wanted new worlds to explore, Galaxy 2 still has my favourite postgame easily even though that's also re-exploring old worlds, but that's cuz the game at large is of a more straightforward nature, so when the postgame added in a bunch of exploration which was missing from the main game I was stoked, but in Oddesy I already had my fill of exploring each world once, exploring them all again just felt like busy work, overall this is still my favourite 3D Mario game but it's definitely too short and either needed a longer main game, a longer post game, or both. Or it could've just costed 40 bucks instead of 60, then I wouldn't have minded the shorter length.

[@dave_the_slick8584]

Ending this with the best Rainbow Road track ever? You are a man of taste!

[@ghettosteeve]

As much as I loved this game, I only have 55 hours in it. I liked Zelda more, and got about 450 hours out of it.

[@phoenix9531]

Ben Mitchell 55 hours is really long playtime for this kind of game. Thats like 5 times the main story takes to complete (10 hours). Zelda is an Open World Action Adventure and while it might not be an Rpg, playtimewise its definetly up there with Witcher and Skyrim games.

[@alexinabox6931]

Nah, you can't really compare them. And both of them are amazing.

[@axel1562]

Phoenix Except for that there is way more to do in Skyrim than in BOTW so I wouldn't say that they are comparable time wise.

[@alexinabox6931]

Axel I managed over a 1000 hours in botw, and 500 in Skyrim. But yes there are more extra things in Skyrim.

[@axel1562]

Alex Stilgoe How the hell did you manage to get 1000 hours in botw? Did you leave the game running when you did other stuff?

[@PickleKing2007]

Still waiting for the 30 minute analysis about how the 64 costume is the best

[@AmyAndTheMarbles]

Butternut squash? Yeah, sure.

[@IamLaTerry]

My favorite part of the endgame was running around each kingdom to find Peach. I loved that she went on her own little trip and even got some of her own unique outfits from it.

[@pikster2155]

This may sound wired but I didnt like mario odyssey I liked the road up to endgame but after that it just felt like running around aimlessly trying to find the rest of the moons

[@blueshellpunk]

I don't like odyssey that much. To me the worlds are so bland. The moons feel lile korok seeds and i don't lole that

@@pikster2155 I couldn't agree more with you on this game. It bored me after you beat bowser getting the rest of the moons. It didn't wow me all that much as a game.

I watched the review and was hoping there’d be an end game video just earlier today! Great video

[@vamtired]

Whoa Arlo that thumbnail is a huge spoiler!

[@alolanfigment9822]

well, i knew about it on day one because everyone couldnt keep everything out of THEIR ****ING THUMBNAILS

[@StupidMarioBros1Fan]

At this point the game has been out for a few months but I agree with minelol5, everyone was insanely bad about spoilers on the first day. In fact I stayed up all night just to beat the story because I _knew_ that KZbin would recommend me videos about the final boss and ending with spoilers in the thumbnail. Worst way to play the game by the way, so much better when you take your time to soak in the atmosphere. I honestly don't understand the people who say "you shouldn't have clicked on the video if you didn't want spoilers" Dude! The freaking thumbnail showed ***** and **** I was spoiled the moment the video popped up! I only clicked on the video to complain about the thumbnail! Had to unsubscribe from multiple gaming/movie/show news channels because they didn't understand the concept of "Spoilers in the Thumbnail & Title" If there was a spoiler or leak they'd make a video with the thumbnail & title going into detail which are the first 2 things I look at before clicking on a video. Only way to stop the cycle was to unsubscribe no matter how much I enjoyed their content.

[@alolanfigment9822]

But when i do that, like with sonic forces, youtube decides to **** around with me and put those videos in my recommended section, which you cant remove, youtubes like "oh, your search history tells me you watched 2 trailers for *insert game here* two months ago, now its out, here, have some videos about that new installment!" lets go back to my sonic forces situation, i bought the ps4 game, went back, put the disc in, got spoiled the moment i opened google chrome by reccomended videos, including all the reviews saying it sucks.

ARLO NEVER STOP BEING SO AMAZING

[@CarterTheDog]

As much as I loved Odyssey, and it’s endgame, I still like I prefer 3D World’s endgame. Both games have 3 new worlds. And while Odyssey does have new content in each kingdom, many of these moons are just lying around or aren’t particularly different that the original moons. If you ignore the “play with all 5 characters” mark, 3D world is great with its new levels, green stars, and stamps. Please don’t misunderstand, I prefer Odyssey as a game. It’s mechanics and structure are bounds more interesting than the linearity of 3D world. However, I believe that, relative to the games they support, 3D world has a better endgame.

[@mardini900]

As a Mario completionist, I felt like toadette didn't do anything except waste like 15 minutes of my time pressing A. Once I reached her I had already finished about 80% of her achievements and all I had to do to get the remaining ones was to just complete the game as I normally would have anyway. But hey I guess not everyone collects all the available moons and purple coins of a kingdom before moving on to the next, maybe that's just me.

[@jupoawp]

Odyssey endgame? Yes please!
