2001: A Mario Odyssey

Let ME post it. >:(
 
Just realized the Sombrero and the Skeleton Outfit would make a great combination for Dia De Los Muertos. oof now I want to get the Skeleton outfit quickly
 
Boy oh boy the sound design on this game is fantastic.
 
i think this is probably the best mario platformer to be made, at worst, maybe tied with 64.

since im older, im definitely being a lot more critical on it; the lack of hub world, and its more linear gameplay are something im trying to get used to. but they probably did switch up the formula for the better.

i love the plethora of new characters/worlds/items introduced, it'll be really cool to see them return in spin-offs and later games, and I really love how many references to past titles there are
 
I got this game yesterday, and I've played it for about 12 hours so far I believe, and it is so fun. I love how exploration-based it is (even if a few moons are a bit hard to find). I love the references to other games, and it might be cool to see some DLC for the game, but I'm not sure about that.
 
i definitely do love the exploration aspect; it makes it feel more like banjo-kazooie than mario 64.

You know a thing I really really like and that Banjo-Kazooie (and Tooie) did but SM64 and SMS didn't?
Not necessarily quitting the level after you get a story-related power moon or multi moon. Even though this potentially made the levels less versatile (although in this case Odyssey doesn't seem affected at all, with nighttime and rainy versions of the levels), it prevents having to repeat whole section of levels every time a main goal is reached and also gives the impression of playing a single, cohesive adventure.
 
To be honest, I think a race course based on Crumbleden with the Lord of Lightning attacking the drivers with his lightning bolts would suit the realistic style seen since Mario Kart 8, not to say that there's quite some potential for putting antigravity sections.
