Areas in previous 3D Mario titles usually featured ten or less objectives to complete. Large and open, they encourage exploration more than any entry in series history.
Super Mario Odyssey’s worlds are to credit for most of this. While Mario may be able to occupy the bodies of numerous baddies and inanimate objects this time around, the experience feels more like Super Mario 64 than any of his other adventures. Gone are the polarizing FLUDD from Super Mario Sunshine and the gravity-warping planetoids from the Galaxy games. It’s wrapped around a concept featuring sentient hats, enemy possession, and Bowser making wedding preparations, but actually playing the game feels very familiar. Make no mistake about it, Super Mario Odyssey is a weird game. Everything looked set to be Mario’s most surreal adventure yet. Pauline from Donkey Kong is suddenly back, and is now a mayor and the lead singer of a swing band. He strolled through a city alongside human figures with realistic proportions. He inhabited frogs by throwing a ghost hat at them.
At this year’s E3, Nintendo surprised many with a Super Mario Odyssey trailer that seemed insane even by Mario standards.
