Super Mario Odyssey for Nintendo Switch is a collection-based 3D platform game that is simultaneously both comfortingly familiar and freshly new and exciting.
As with many Mario games, this starts with a highly familiar scenario: Bowser has kidnapped Princess Peach and whisked her away. Mario sets off in pursuit, playing and battling his way over worlds and regions that take him up in the sky and under the ground, facing enemies and obstacles along the way.
And this is where the differences come in. There are two types of collectibles in this game, the usual coins, and something new called a ‘power moon’.
