![]() ![]() New Donk City is the centrepiece and stands out as the most awe-inspiring world in Odyssey despite its obvious similarities to New York City-but it takes Mario to the concrete jungle-a place Nintendo's premier mascot has yet to tread with its bustling busy streets, yellow taxis and skyscrapers-truly a sensational space for Mario to ply his platforming skill-especially when calamitous happenings ensue on a moped. The ensemble is comprised of kingdoms like the Sand Kingom, Lake Kingdom, Wooded Kingdom, Cascade Kingdom-all easily identifiable by the elements and behaviours they possess, as well as being easy to remember. Speaking of worlds, Odyssey crams in an eclectic mixture of outstanding dream-like worlds (hence the game's name), to its repertoire, so luscious and idyllic they should all be included as holiday postcards to your grandparents. MARIO ODYSSEY RED HAT GOOMBA FREEWhen you're done collecting all the moons, it's time to visit another world to progress in the story, but chances are there are droves of moons you haven't collected yet, so you're free to head back to another kingdom to scoop them up as and when you please. Each world requires a specified number of power moons and many can be captured by solving a puzzle, completing challenges or in exceptional cases-buying them from the Crazy Cap shop. ![]() Collecting power moons to gas up the Odyssey airship is your only true story-based objective as it is your sole transport option when voyaging from world-to-world. The stages and challenges are always fair and generous, steady and achievable road bumps demonstrating that putting a smile on your face is Odyssey's foremost concern-and it does so splendidly and plentifully. You can't lose lives in Odyssey either, instead you get a small monetary hit to the amount of gold coins you've collected-so Odyssey in about as an inviting as you can possibly get for a Nintendo platformer. Cappy throws up advice in speech bubbles to guide you, Captain Toad can be seen standing around offering you markers to hidden power moons for a miniature fee, and healing hearts are always in abundance. Leaping into Odyssey feels like bombing into a swimming pool in the glimmering pristine sunshine or tumbling and bobbling into a plastic ball pit-meaning there's a relaxing ease and rhythm to the gameplay, eager to let you throw your hair down whether stomping and thumping through tranquil island grounds as a T-Rex or wreaking bomb-laden havoc as a tank, without any laborious objectives to worry about-allowing your curiosity and discovery to lead the way. While the set up and general narrative weave is nothing out of the ordinary, Odyssey at least spruces the pageantry up with a white wedding and Bowser wearing a suit that fits him snugly.Īccessibility is king in Mario's latest 3D adventure. Along the way Mario will rub elbows with a quartet of rabbit wedding planners known as Broodals-who are essentially Bowser's wedding planners-but they're merely glorified henchmen and woman. After being unceremoniously dumped from Bowser's airship, Mario is left to his own devices to Frisbee his iconic red hat onto the squishy head of an amphibian to turn into one. Odyssey's adventure unwraps in a typically threadbare fashion, with Mario letting Princess Peach slip through his fingers (again), as Bowser abducts her to plan a huge wedding between the two in the Mushroom Kingdom's own bespoke interpretation of Beauty and The Beast. ![]() At once preposterously inventive and absolutely amazing, Super Mario Odyssey is an incredible achievement, bursting with life on Nintendo's latest hardware and is an unbridled joy from beginning to end. MARIO ODYSSEY RED HAT GOOMBA FULLSuper Mario: Odyssey is without a doubt a game brimmed full of ideas, charm and fresh gameplay innovations that it's hard to believe all the excitement from its E3 2017 trailer has been distilled into an 8 hour game. And no, mind possession isn't a metaphor here, Mario has the ability to vacuum himself into the brains of just about every creature impeding his path donning a hat whose sister has also been swiped by the nefarious Koopa King. It's time to jump up in the air once more with Nintendo's renowned moustachioed mascot as he dives deep into the minds of Goombas, Bullet Bills and Koopa Troopers in a bid to rescue Princess Peach yet again from the avaricious paws and claws of Bowser. ![]()
