Let's keep this party going! Lake Lamode seems to be pretty easy to clear out, though I think we're gonna wind up leaving a handful behind...

Man, you cleaned this place out. That's some good collectathon instincts. Some... thonstincts? I think at the end Talkatoo was telling you about another moon in that flower-bounce area where you died a whole bunch? That's generally true of any place with its own load screen - there's a secret or a harder version of the minigame.

Every challenge area has 2 moons in it. One at the end of the stage and a secret one.

ricdesi posted:ooooooooof, that deserves a golf clap Don't worry about the big cubes you find in the worlds, you can't do anything with them until the post game. Related to that, I believe it is literally impossible to get every moon in a world on your first visit (plus there are also closed off sections that you can't reach in any other way than by going in through a painting found in another world).

Yeah, honestly I don't think I ever would have found that without the Moon's name, that was absolutely ridiculous (and like... the least assuming one there.) And now, we reach the second act of the game! Or rather, the "midpoint chunk" as we're sort of calling it. Time to speak now, or forever hold our peace! Part 18: "Battle of the Hats, Bitches" | 092 | Nimbus Area, Cloud Kingdom / Forgotten Isle, Lost Kingdomhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HYfOve2Svec So sidebar, I'm actually on vacation until the end of next week (hopping on a cruise! gonna be a good time), but videos should still be going up uninterrupted. I don't know that I'll be able to jump on each day to update the thread, but I will try to drop in periodically if I can't. Super Mario Odyssey will in fact be the only series we're expecting to run through next week (and next week is entirely dedicated to the kingdom after Lost Kingdom, it's a real treat!), so it should be rad. ricdesi fucked around with this message at 02:09 on Dec 15, 2017 |

Greetings from Tostarena! Er, I mean Cozumel! Decided to hop on and update the thread before I get ready to meet up with folks, and ironically the week I'm spending outside the US is the week we land in the Metro Kingdom at Mayor Pauline's New Donk City.

I still can't tell if she doesn't recognize him, or if it's just that she's so distracted with all the city's problems that she's not really acknowledging him much. She does seem to be at least somewhat familiar with him later on, so... who knows? Anyway, I heard the "Jump-Rope Genius" Power Moon was supposed to be one of the harder ones in the game. ...oops? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Part 22: "No Wonder You're Winning" | 115 | New Donk City, Metro Kingdomhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i5TMI9ygsFw Part 23: "What's Wrong with Taking the Back Street?" | 124 | New Donk City, Metro Kingdomhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rCv2LBMwg40 ricdesi fucked around with this message at 02:13 on Dec 15, 2017 |

God drat, between Jump-Rope Genius, the skyscraper climb, and the world's highest cannonball, you were ON FIRE out there. Now you just have to master the hat dive (cap hold, dive on it, cap hold, dive at it, but you can't catch the second one) and you've got the skills to pay all manner of bills.

That cannonball was fantastic. It was all worth it for that. I gotta say, though, I'm with Lindsey on this- all of the running around on girders makes me legit nervous. I'm totally fine with jumping around on all kinda fantasy bullshit a million miles in the sky, but being up on actual human structures looking down hundreds of feet and more puts a wrench in my stomach every time.

The sad part is that as a viewer, I can't backseat game, keep noticing stuff and going ughhh  I can't believe you didn't try to hat the parked taxi!I loved the design of the city world, it's so god drat tall and with the no-fall-damage-mechanic, the player is actively encouraged to do crazy stunts like the ones you pulled. Great stuff.

It feels like a summation, which is often what happens during a finale. Also there's this exciting new character who is Mario's talking hat, and when has that ever gone well? The thing is, though, this is arguably the first Mario game made by people who grew up playing Mario. They might just be putting in everything they like.

The Mario franchise makes way too much money for them to end it here. There'll be more. I'm just wondering if Nintendo can keep up these huuuuge gameworlds like BotW and Odyssey. I really have no idea what's next. Zelda is even harder to predict than Mario though.

I'm sure Nintendo will be making Mario games until the end of time, it's nice that the gimmick they chose for this game works so well. I'm also curious about what the hell they can do next for both Mario and Zelda.

I can run up and down stuff all day long at all angles no problem- I used to do basically the same thing to people when I showed off the old Playstation Ghost in the Shell game, which allowed to you scale any and all walls at speed and rotate around however you wanted. Rotations don't bother me at all, but jumping around extreme heights in "realistic" games does. The Festival was pretty adorable, though the background audio doesn't come through very well for me at least; I had to watch another video to actually hear the song and all. Pauline's face next to all the other NPCs definitely treads well into uncanny valley.

One of my favorite water levels in video games is Undertow, in Ristar. I don't think it actually slowed you down much at all, and you could just mash on A to jet in any direction. It was a way to give you more maneuverability, and I think as long as you've got a Cheep-Cheep to hat, that's what both of the water levels here have been. ...I also like how on the world map they're called kingdoms, but you're going to a specific place in each of them. Fossil Falls in the Waterfall Kingdom, Tostarena in the Sand Kingdom, Steam Gardens in the Wooded Kingdom, and so on. You could make a Mario Odyssey 2 just by going to Donk Francisco and Perrier-by-the-Sea and such.

I would absolutely adore a sequel that explores nearby areas in each kingdom a little more. When I was labeling where we went in all these, I wasn't sure whether it would have different areas per kingdom, but they could definitely get away with some expansion.
