Furthermore, in games where equipment gives bonuses, they should all have vanity options so that what players actually see can be different from what bonuses you want! Monster Hunter I'm looking at you! I was so angry when I found out that TWEWY didn't actually change any of Neku's clothes when you changed equipment, and I'm only going to buy it on Switch if this glaring flaw is fixed.

I think Monster Hunter World is doing this, finally. If nothing else they're going to have costume armor sets that are separate from your actual stats/skills, but I think it's also going to be a full cosmetic armor/transmog system too. I hope so, at least. One more reason to collect more armor sets even if I don't want their skills.

I do wonder if they might do DLC (they already have a patch coming up) or a SMG2 style sequel. Would kick rear end if they expanded on the Ruined Kingdom.

I finally got to the last level and lord above I am nowhere near good enough to pull off any kind of trick jumps needed to ascend that bugger. I wonder if it's actually a thing? Oh man this is like being seven again.

Do you have to get every purple coin to get enough souvenirs for the last power moon of that type from Toadette in Muhsroom Kingdom? I’ve got them all except artwork ones now and just trying to figure out how much time I’m about to waste this weekend figuring out which 3 purple coins I missed in each world.

Yes, you need them all.

Its actually remarkable that there exists an in-bounds area of the game that they didn't anticipate anyone actually reaching somehow.

I actually drove around like 5 different places looking for a Bowser amiibo to polish off the purple coins (when you're missing 3 in a level with 100 it's kind of a daunting prospect) but I just ended up using one of those online map + walkthrough things and it didn't take that long at all to get everything.

No you don't. I missed a ton of purple coins. But I also skipped a bunch of outfits so

You can skip a handful of expensive souvenirs iirc

Is it really that hard to find a Bowser amiibo? I think he has a ton of variants, between the Smash Bros one, the Mario one, the Skylanders one (really), and the Odyssey one. Then again down here they don't seem to have the ridiculous shortages that I keep hearing about in the USA.

Let me tell you about true luxury.

Honestly, while brutal, that guys video is pretty spot on. Odyssey doesn't even rate as a top 4 Mario game all time for me, whereas the new Zelda, with all it's flaws, was so excellent when it was excellent that it rates much higher relative to other Zelda titles. I hate to say it but in a year or so time I don't think I will even remember much of Odyssey.

Everyone's entitled to their opinion I guess, but Tropical Wiggler alone could probably keep Odyssey at the top of my list. Capture Abilities are so drat good.

Just have 100 on jump rope and volleyball, and those two nightmare moons on Dark Side (Bullet Bill hatless) and I’ll be complete

That's impossible. There are tons of moons that require you to capture an enemy to get them. The moons in Bowser's Kingdom for example that need the bird to shove its beak in the holes, you can't get them as just regular Mario. Or the Luncheon Kingdom moon with the notes in the lava and you need the Podoboo to reach them

You can't even complete the first world without captures.

The current min capture record just for finishing the game is 15 captures. At minimum the first world needs 1 capture because of the spark pylon at the very end.

Its however possible to beat the game without jumping.

Or at least without incrementing Toadette's jump counter.

Finally got moon 880! Last one was that stupid beach volleyball to 100 moon. I don’t think I want to grind out those coins to get 999 moons though. I think I’m done... tonight my profile switched over to 45 hours played. Pretty impressive length for a Mario game IMO

That one was rough, I ended up swapping to two-player mode and just moving around as Cappy to clear it. He moves pretty quick so it was just a matter of constantly maneuvering to be under the shadow before it landed. It isn't fun or fast, but it got the job done.

So I finally got my Switch this past Monday and cleared the Moon/Bowser/Unlock Mushroom Kingdom portion about a day ago.

I realized at a certain point that the game is so unapologetically Japanese that it's better for just going all-in on that.

I was in a Samurai-era Japanese Kingdom, controlling a Tengu, and fighting a Super Sentai Robot by pecking it to death.

I didn't even have to convince myself to buy in to the concept. SMO is so good at pulling you in on its locales & characters except that black dragon. WTF. Seems like it was a cutting room floor design from Bayonetta or something. that I didn't even think twice.

I think we're beyond spoilers, though your thoughtfulness is appreciated.

Bayonetta's a new comparison, usually people say :darksouls:, especially the world you fight it in.

Fun part about the giant robot is that it's made of wooden blocks.

I get liking Galaxy more. I think Galaxy 2 is probably the best 3D mario game, too.

I really don't get this 'Tech Demo' meme about Odyssey. It's a different sort of thing to Galaxy, but it is very clearly a fully featured Mario game with at least as much of a plot as usual, mandatory and optional goals and collectibles, fully orchestrated original music, new settings and enemies, fun boss fights..... what's missing? Not different, but missing?

Just shake your controller whenever you are using those power lines and you will automatically jump off the line to get whatever is near it.
