Put in 12 hours today and made it to New Donk City. Game is shaping up to be my new GotY. So many amazing moments, and the score, my god what a score. Been mainly trying to get as many moons per kingdom as I can. They do start to become really hard to find when you get down to the last 10 or so moons (looking at you Desert Kingdom). Probably got 80% of the moons in each kingdom and stopped tonight at New Donk City.
Minor complaint, the motion controls for up hat throw I can’t do for the life of me, but other than that the controls are fine. It will be hard to sleep because I’ll be thinking about how great the game is.

What's your favorite kingdom so far? Mine's Lake Kingdom, its atmosphere is unmatched, so fun and relaxing.

Have not been this hooked on a game for a long time. Smashed out the Story and a bit over 200 stars over the weekend, have loved it. Can't believe there is so much content waiting to be discovered.
By batong Go To PostI'm running around in a cowboy hat killing goombas, because, why the fuck not.I prefer the boxer shorts and Koopa skull personally, but yeah, lots of silliness to be had.
By Laboured Go To PostSorry lads, turns out the game is bad, actually.6 idiots found this helpful.
By joefu Go To PostGUys… what the heck, this game is amazing. ahhh when can we have a spoiler thread for this game?Go ahead and make one. I'll join soon. Still just in the lake kingdom
By Method Go To PostGo ahead and make one. I'll join soon. Still just in the lake kingdomI'm not done with the game yet either. But phew the stuff on the way towards the end is awesome haha
By Vic Go To PostThat event in New Donk City…Yeah it was a great tribute to Sonic.
Tears came up instantly. Too much happiness.
I don't want to do the event in new donk. The song is so good. Why can't it play on the title screen?
Game's been pretty damn good so far, "beat" the game already with my girlfriend on one save, and I'm going back through on my own to get as many moons as possible. Some of the moon challenges are well, challenging.
By Nori Chan Go To PostI don't want to do the event in new donk. The song is so good. Why can't it play on the title screen?If you have a 3ds there's an odyssey theme that plays the song with lyrics as the background music. I kinda want to drop the $2 for it lol.
By Nori Chan Go To PostI don't want to do the event in new donk. The song is so good. Why can't it play on the title screen?im sure youll be pleasantly surprised later on then
Game is pretty fun. Have just around 150 moons, playing to go through the game, not really collect everything right now.
Made it to Bowsers Castle, and am sort of pissed that the Ruins level is just a boss fight.
That shit looked like it was straight from Castlevania.

By Vic Go To PostThat event in New Donk City…Yup. Glad you can replay that anytime you want.

By ratcliffja Go To PostYeah it was a great tribute to Sonic.Was thinking the same thing on that screen. WTH we paying tribute to Sonic. Then I remembered it was the king of 16-Bit platformer and Nintendo just wanted to make sure everyone knew that.
By noquarter Go To PostYup. Glad you can replay that anytime you want.

the only thing Sonic is the king of is disappointing fans.
Alright, just beat Bowser, the final sequence is great, might be my favorite ending sequence to a Mario yet, even beating out Cat Bowser in 3D World.
Post game spoilersReally glad they have the rematches for the bosses and really like the throwback to Mario 64 for them. Lots of game left, which is really nice.
I feel they did a good job in this game making something new and pulling in the nostalgia heart strings. Seems like every time I'm impressed with something new, they toss in a throwback to another Mario that surprised me. Lots of little musical cues and sound effects that are just enough the same, yet different.

Anyone else trying to do absolutely everything they can in one kingdom before moving onto the next? I spent a long time in Cascade Kingdom and Sand Kingdom trying to get all the Power Moons that I could, basically used the Hint Toad & Talkatoo to figure out if I have anymore I can discover in the Kingdom or not before I move on.
Ohhhhhh my gooooooood
I’m absolutely stunned by (end Game spoiler)
The ending playing as bowser and the post game content. Holy shit is this game packed.
I’m freaking out

If you guys are interested in an analysis of the game's graphics engine, I made a thread here

I spent a long time in Cascade Kingdom and Sand Kingdom trying to get all the Power Moons that I could, basically used the Hint Toad & Talkatoo to figure out if I have anymore I can discover in the Kingdom or not before I move on.I usually do the same in games like this, but with how much there is to do, I thought it was best just to keep moving once I got tired/bored/whatever in a level. You can always go back and some things don't show up the first time, making it seem like you can't get all of the moons the first time anyway.

I spent a long time in Cascade Kingdom and Sand Kingdom trying to get all the Power Moons that I could, basically used the Hint Toad & Talkatoo to figure out if I have anymore I can discover in the Kingdom or not before I move on.That's how I typically play, but once I tried to see if I had enough moons in Cascade Kingdom it forced me to go to the next one. After Tostarena, it did't let me go backward to Cascade. Does it let you travel back at some point or not until you beat the story?
I know you dont have to wait to the end to go back, though I thought you could right away. I know it is weird, if you have Moons and put Cappy on the globe, it takes the moons, so you have to put him on twice usually to move. It will open up the map and let you choose between what you have available if you arent holding any moons. And like you said, if you have the Moons to go forward, you just go forward and can't stop the sequence.
I was grinning like an idiot after the trumpeter joined the band and during the following festival.
What a game.
What a game.
Is there a Mario Odyssey Photo OT? Should I create one? I'm sure we all have bomb ass photos of our Odyssey ventures. We can spoiler tag the later kingdoms too.

By FatRiker Go To PostI think my copy of SMO is glitched. Instead of New Donk City I ended up in New Jack City.I laughed.
I think I'm nearing the final few worlds, judging by how many sections of sail are left on the Odyssey. I'm trying to get everything I can in the world, but knowing that there's a lot that can't be had until you beat the game I've decided to get every Moon I can possibly get, while collecting all the Power Coins. Once I have all Power Coins, then off to the next world!
I was super hyped to bring my Switch to work today and play on the sly, so I packed it in my backpack while getting ready. Well, as soon as I rolled into work I realized I forgot my backpack. And, of course, it's been a super dead day.😭
This game really is what gaming is all about. I got my wife setup on her own Switch account now so she could start the game. Turned on assist mode for her and she is loving it.

assist mode was such a great idea by nintendo
I've just finished New Donk City and it was awesome! Definitely my favourite world so far. This game is amazing, it puts a smile on my face every time I play it.

Seeing that it takes about 40-50 hours to 100% the game. It's so good that I want to enjoy it for as long as I can, why can't it be Witcher 3 length? (I know, I know, it's more of a rethorical question)
I just finished a 4 1/2 - 5 hour bender of Odyssey. Damn, this game is wonderful! The use of colors is phenomenal, with each stage having its own unique pallete. I in awe when I reached the Luncheon Kingdom.
I’ve got ~315 Power Moons. I’ve been very conscious to steer clear of the final tally, so I don’t know how much I have left to do. However I’m sure it’s still a lot. 😜

By LFMartins86 Go To PostOdyssey already sold 2M copies in the first 3 days.So well deserved. This game is something else.
By ratcliffja Go To PostYeah it was a great tribute to Sonic.What was the tribute to Sonic? I think I missed it.
i'm honestly quite bummed out that there is no more of this game to enjoy. i really hope we don't have to wait half a decade for a new one. Odyssey 2 pls.
Question about post game:
Is there a limit to the amount of Moons you can buy from the shops once you finish the game?

By SchuckyDucky Go To PostWhat was the tribute to Sonic? I think I missed it.In the New Donk Cityfestival, there's a curved surface that looks like you're going through a Sonic-style loop.
By SchuckyDucky Go To PostQuestion about post game:

No, I think it's an option for players that are not good enough to complete everything. Also, apparently (spoiler of number of moons in the game) there's a prize at 999 moons even though you can only get 880 through regular playthrough.

Also, apparently (spoiler of number of moons in the game) there's a prize at 999 moons even though you can only get 880 through regular playthrough.Ok cool, I'll be careful with them then. I want to get as many as possible through my own skills. Thanks!
