WAHOO!
It's-a-Me!
It has a town area and an npc!
@123akis mario!!
Please please PLEEEEEEASE be like SM64 and Sunshine. Please.
I thought they said that this game is 2 player co-op, since one player can play as the hat?
This is going to be the best Mario game ever can't wait to play it Nintendo still the best!
@JarJarBlacks it is. It wasn't released until e3 that you could do that but they wrote this before-they have yet to update it.
Ever since I was younger, Super Mario Galaxy has always been my favorite 3D Mario game. And judging by the trailers, I believe that this game could possibly turn out better! What do you guys think?
Wahoooooo
I seriously want this game. Hurry up, October 27th!
@DrewCola You must still be young. Super Mario 64 was the best 3D Mario IMO and Odyssey looks like it will be just as good. Yahhoooo!!
Less than a week. I'm so weak
So my copy arrived yesterday!!! its AMAZING!!!
ed today at 18pm. Played for 7 hours not stopping (now). This game is... get it. Do a favor to yourself and GET IT.
Who else here is getting the Switch and Odyssey?
This game is so much fun! It took me a long time to realise you can play mario music you have discovered on your travels. Once I'd been to 'DKC festival' & heard the version with lyrics I can play it anywhere on my travels got this song on repeat!
I got 700 power moons so far... It is so AWSOME. Just like SUPER MARIO 64
Hello, im Donk Of the Wild. and i just created a Discord for all things Nintendo Switch!

I Hope Nintendo Make Mario Odyssey DLC!
This is my Favourite game EVER!
Simply great, made me come back to Nintendo almost full-time...
Perfect. Mario strutting his stuff in 3D, 2D, 8bit and HD.
This is the best videogame of the past ten years.
First quarantine video game achievement: All 999 moons! I've never beaten a Mario game fully until now.
This was the first game I played start to finish on the switch and it is my go to game. This is a game almost anyone will love. It is my favorite game on the system.
Favorite game ever made. No exceptions.
I love this game it was my first switch game i ever played and still its my fav. W game
It was fun at first, with all the cool outfits and the concept of Moon Stars, but then the game got far too hard and boring.
