Mario’s more basic movements suffer because of the trickier, player implemented moves ruling his move set and becoming the centre stage of the gameplay. The control scheme is far from bad and is satisfying to get creative with but at times can be its own hindrance. His running speed looks slower than the animation implies it should be, long jumps never go as far as you’d expect and his jump is much less floaty than previous games which is awkward to adjust to as a veteran of the series when starting off. Mario also doesn’t feel as if he has much weight to him, it tends to fluctuate how heavy he is. They will take some getting used to, however, the dive being a combination involving the ground pound is quite frankly stupid and leads to an unfair amount of deaths. While his movement options have excellent variety that make the sometimes disappointingly simple worlds a fun time to travel through and explore. This is the most versatile Mario has been since Super Mario Sunshine. There is a novelty to controlling these classic foes, but most of them are just slightly different movement options that in all honestly you may as well skip because if you’re skilled enough with Mario you can easily do some fancy tricks to get around their sections or topple them completely rather simply. They’re all very simple to use, some a bit too simple and unremarkable unfortunately, but mostly they’re fun and engaging enough to enhance gameplay to an extent. Mario can now throw his hat at enemies to use their powers for unique puzzles and platforming challenges. The biggest addition to the game the possession mechanic. Mario Odyssey looks to be a huge stepping stone for the series and while it does get many things right, it does fall flat on some core aspects.
A return to the classic collect-a-thon platformer in similar set up to Super Mario 64 and Super Mario Sunshine fans have been wanting for some time now. However, the biggest game since release saw the arrival of Nintendo’s golden boy with Super Mario Odyssey. Launching with the lauded The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild followed by the likes of Splatoon 2, ports of popular titles such as Mario Kart 8 Deluxe and a consistent array of quality downloadable games on the e-shop. This could be down to its superior marketing, but its initial line-up of quality titles in its first year certainly helped.
In just ten months, the system has sold roughly 15 million units, beating the lifetime sales of the Wii U. The Nintendo Switch is enjoying a vast amount of success compared to its predecessor.
