Super Mario Odyssey Released Today For Nintendo Switch

Super Mario Odyssey Hat

If you never thought you’d see the day when the most beloved video game character of all-time could possess people and animals with his hat, today is going to be a weird one for you as Super Mario Odyssey lands on the Nintendo Switch.

The first mainline Mario title to have a mostly open playground since Super Mario Sunshine, Odyssey allows you to inhabit almost anything in New Donk City (yes, really), the Woodland Kingdom, and the Snow Kingdom. This is a Mario game, so you can be assured you’ll visit a lot of pretty places.

If you’re unfamiliar with the Mario storyline routine, Bowser has captured Peach and it’s up to Mario to save her. The new game comes with a twist, however: Bowser also has Cappy’s (Mario’s hat) beloved, Tiara. The pair must work together to save the day by boarding the Odyssey ship and trying to put a stop to the nonsensical wedding. Oh, and Mario will be able to possess a dinosaur at one point, so there’s that.

Critically, Super Mario Odyssey is certainly making waves – it’s already the best-rated game on OpenCritic of all-time. It has 20 perfect scores from the likes of Gamespot, EGM, VideoGamer, GamesRadar, and more. The lowest score so far comes in at an 8. Super Mario Odyssey is also sat at a 97 on Metacritic. Wooft.
