Mario Odyssey isn't afraid to break the Mario mould! Here are the biggest shake-ups that Odyssey brings, including a realistically modelled Shiba Inu, fabulous costume changes and crazy songs. Enjoy!
Luke: "Mario games rarely make much sense. I mean if Lakitu is the one holding the camera in Mario 64, then how are we seeing him here?" Lakitu: "Good afternoon, the Lakitu *Bros* here-" I'm sure that it'll forever be a mystery.
Thank you. I noticed that too. I mean initially ya I thought it was odd as well, but Lakitu literally mentions there is at least one other cameraman in the game ("The Lakitu Bros.", he says). Pretty cut and dry if you ask me.
Reason 1) You can possess people Reason 2) Is that mario over there? Reason 3) Wait... no Mario no! Reason 4) GET AWAY FROM ME Reason 5) GET THE CAP OFF MY HEAD NO Reason 6) ........... Reason 7) Itsa me! Caitlin!
That awkward moment when you’ve researched and got absolutely hyped about super mario odyssey but then you realise that it’s only on switch... which you don’t have. That’s a week of my life I won’t get back again.
Derek Hanna Because I read somewhere it was on other consoles, and I only really looked at gameplay, not the technical stuff. I wanted to know what it would be like.
If Mario's hat posses people....does that mean you're not actually playing as Mario but as his hat? Some unforeseen, extra terrestrial being is using Mario as a puppet from their nefarious plans? The split second before Mario posses another being he regains control only to lose it again?? He's forced to watch the destruction of places in flashes as he leaves a wake of smashed bricks, stolen so called "collectibles" and completed quests?? IS MARIO EVEN MARIO?? Look at what you've done to me Outside Xtra, I'm falling apart
Lucas M To a doctor in Dr. Mario, A race car driver in Mario Kart, A professional athlete in every single Mario game that involves sports, A gambler in Mario Party, Even a cavalry sniper in Yoshi's Safari! Anything is possible!
Luke:"here Ellen I will finally let you have the switch and Zelda" Nintendo:"mario odysses is out" Luke:"oh no I forgot um mick wanted you why don't I hold onto the switch"
6:13 I had a full on spontaneous dance party when this happened. Thanks for bringing back those sweet City Escape memories. This is why y'all are my favorite channel.
There’s so much simplicity in this game, but there’s also so many differences to literally every Mario game. But I just realized, the objects that you collect are based on space objects; moons, stars, and the shines in Sunshine are based on the sun.
Can't wait for later today! Still have a few more classes, and hopefully the game ships before work tonight. Hopefully I can tear myself away to get my homework done this weekend!
Nintendo being willing to call themselves out on how underutilized Waluigi is is probably my favourite bit of self referential stuff in the game. (Well, that or what I'm now using as my default outfit - though I am often picking my outfit for the world in the post game - of Mario's classic gear, that is red dungarees over a blue shirt rather than his iconic look.)
The main theme _is_ pretty nice...aside from the shrill foghorn blast thrown in the middle. I wonder what the composer was thinking when he threw _that_ in there.
Also, it’s hat-themed. Notice not only is there an entire race of hats, but they’re more focus on the mechanic of knocking hats off of enemies to control them.
Hey Oxtra! Not Mario related, but have you thought about playing some Jackbox games with the rest of the OX crew? Especially with the fourth pack coming out last week, I'd love to see a video or stream in those games!
I would love to see Luke 'fast travel' onto the couch on the Saturday show using a hat. Then again it could lead him down the path of M-Andy from last week... that was freaky...
Mario odyseey breaks ground by giving you choice between where you go, what you do and when you do it. Examples: Lake Kingdom or Wooded Kingdom, Capture Frog or do it hardcore first Area
0:48 There is a second Lakitu! Pause it when the text is up, it says “Good afternoon. The Lakitu Bros., here, reporting live from just outside the Princess’s castle.” Emphasis on “Lakitu Bros.”.
*asks if we've been playing a game that hasn't been released to the public yet* Yes. I've been playing it off and on as I struggle to decide if I want to use the TARDIS or the DeLorean this week. Heavy is the burden of being me.
The costumes do affect the game because there are some places you can’t get without dressed up as a certain costume( I don’t remember where I saw this but I remember that it’s a part of a game)
How does Bowser get his suit under his shell? That must really hurt. Also Mario can wear a wedding dress. Let's hope Bowser doesn't accidentaly marry him instead of Peach. That would be so embarrassing!
not to take away from these 7 reasons, but I kinda feel like the fact that Mario's hat possessing people is a major gameplay mechanic is wildly different than any other Mario game. Or have I just been playing them wrong this whole time?
Reviewers don't really get the sense of scale of this game, they just beat the story then review it, but odyssey is so much more than that, there's 70 moons in the second level! I couldn't find them all even after 7 hours!
I can't afford a switch, but I'm looking forward to playing this in 4 years after the inevitable tanking of the switch and it's being sold off cheap when the Switch U is released (allowing play on TV AND switch screen! so innovative). For now I'm off to play Sonic Adventure 2....
So... there are a bunch of new things that have basically no real effect the core Mario deal... How exactly selectable outfits that are exclusively cosmetic change anything?
So no mention of the possession aspect of the game. Huh. Is the hat possession of the frog is your subtle way of telling us you're possessed and need help?
Mario Odyssey isn't afraid to break the Mario mould! Here are the biggest shake-ups that Odyssey brings, including a realistically modelled Shiba Inu, fabulous costume changes and crazy songs. Enjoy!
Yes, but can you pet said realistically modelled Shiba Inu?
the highlight of this game has gotta be the photorealistic t-Rex with a small completely unrealistic moustache. Like really. It’s amazing.
Also the theme tune is gonna be top of the charts soon. I’m calling it.
Just wanted you guys to know, your channel is amazing.But you probably already knew that.:)
Ahh I remember when it was just( here we go) "jump, headbutt the box, get a mushroom, jump, get the girl" after
Luke: "Mario games rarely make much sense. I mean if Lakitu is the one holding the camera in Mario 64, then how are we seeing him here?"
Lakitu: "Good afternoon, the Lakitu *Bros* here-"
I'm sure that it'll forever be a mystery.
Thank you. I noticed that too. I mean initially ya I thought it was odd as well, but Lakitu literally mentions there is at least one other cameraman in the game ("The Lakitu Bros.", he says). Pretty cut and dry if you ask me.
2:50 mario is wearing a wedding dress. this so gonna fuck with bowser in the last boss fight
Oh, it totally will. And I love it. XD
Does Peach know about this?
Oh god please no
You know what the Internet does when it sees this type of comment.
Reason 1) You can possess people
Reason 2) Is that mario over there?
Reason 3) Wait... no Mario no!
Reason 4) GET AWAY FROM ME
Reason 5) GET THE CAP OFF MY HEAD NO
Reason 6) ...........
Reason 7) Itsa me! Caitlin!
Caitlin RC This made my day. Ha ha ha thanks.
What can we say? Mario is just so captivating.
Captivating. Cap-tivating.
why
We lost a good soldier today. Your memory will not be forgotten Caitlin. AH! She's trying to bounce off my head to kill me! Someone hold her down!
Quickly, put on your (Very stylish) Hats!
That awkward moment when you’ve researched and got absolutely hyped about super mario odyssey but then you realise that it’s only on switch... which you don’t have. That’s a week of my life I won’t get back again.
Should have got it on launch.
How do you research a game and not know what console its on? I call bullshit lol

Legal Variety you know too much. Step outside with me.
Mr. Capello *gunshot* What was that?
Anarchic Spirit
Shhh. They just went for a talk
Legal Variety hi
This is one of those comments that has been carefully created with the hopes of being seen but it will sadly never happen. R.I.P comment.
Mario: from a simple carpenter, to a plumber, and then to a demigod who can control anything he wants. All by the time he is 24...
Lucas M kids these days just don't have the kind of get-up-and-go that Mario does! Damn millennials.
Lucas M
To a doctor in Dr. Mario,
A race car driver in Mario Kart,
A professional athlete in every single Mario game that involves sports,
A gambler in Mario Party,
Even a cavalry sniper in Yoshi's Safari!
Anything is possible!
Don’t forget everything he turns into in the Galaxy series
The real question is.. how long will Ellen have to wait before she gets a turn?
I'd say about 3-4ever.
Or until Luke can handle the crippling depression of not having access to his new favorite game... and then creates another montage of his sorrows
Why do you think Ellen set Luke up to get possessed ? Dun dun DUNH!!!
Damn it, I'd just got Jump Up Super Star out of my head, and then you play it again. And Escape From The City.
Looks like you should escape from the damn good music city.
I've fallen in love with the Jump Up Super Star song
I bet "Luke" was wearing a certain red hat while doing this as the possession element was conveniently left out...
Damn if BotW wasn't enough to make me want a Switch, this is making want it more
KingluccXIII It's pretty good. I'd grab one if you can.
KingluccXIII seriously botw on its own might be worth getting the console. but you can play it on wii u as well.
Can't believe mario dies at the end.
What you don't play mario for the story?!
Soo... Apparently Luigi is now a cold-blooded sniper and Mario is a brain eating lovecraftian horror. What happened? Where did it all go so wrong?
The question is how long until I can play as an adorable shiba inu aka doge
"You're taking the shine off my explorations, here." Does that make Toad the shine thief?
Luke:"here Ellen I will finally let you have the switch and Zelda" Nintendo:"mario odysses is out" Luke:"oh no I forgot um mick wanted you why don't I hold onto the switch"
Mario Odyssey: 7 things that made Luke go aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
I LOVE that photo modes are becoming a standard in gaming. Like, you get me, gaming industry, you get me.
If Luigi was in charge the peach would never be captured, just saying
"the peach"?
That's what Luigi knows her as like if you ask Luigi what his name for Bowser is he'll say the Target
No she'd be dead
Why did that Dinosaur have a mustache? And where can I get one like that?
6:13 I had a full on spontaneous dance party when this happened. Thanks for bringing back those sweet City Escape memories. This is why y'all are my favorite channel.
Actually Nintendo said that all the levels have something to do with the wedding so I guess you could say the theme is a wacky wedding.
Can't wait to pick up the Mario bundle tomorrow.
There’s so much simplicity in this game, but there’s also so many differences to literally every Mario game. But I just realized, the objects that you collect are based on space objects; moons, stars, and the shines in Sunshine are based on the sun.
Look, i made a comment on a video at a time very close to when it was uploaded
Damn it, it took 15 years to get city escape song from sonic out of my head and you put it right back in.
I think that the theme of this game is somewhere between "world exploration" and "hats"
Harder to pin down than a greased up Dave Batista. Love it!
I never noticed the theme of Mario galaxy = guess I must have SPACED out :3
David Leonard Flanagan
No...
Sounds like you need a DOCTOR
(what, too nostalgic?)
Can't wait for later today! Still have a few more classes, and hopefully the game ships before work tonight. Hopefully I can tear myself away to get my homework done this weekend!
what I love about this game is that Mario's mustache is finally the same color as his hair
I’m a little shocked you didn’t mention the fact they don’t use the lives system anymore.
No 1-Ups.
Nintendo being willing to call themselves out on how underutilized Waluigi is is probably my favourite bit of self referential stuff in the game. (Well, that or what I'm now using as my default outfit - though I am often picking my outfit for the world in the post game - of Mario's classic gear, that is red dungarees over a blue shirt rather than his iconic look.)
This is like mario+skyrim. Does that make mario
Mariovakin
I hate you
The main theme _is_ pretty nice...aside from the shrill foghorn blast thrown in the middle. I wonder what the composer was thinking when he threw _that_ in there.
My favoured New Donl song is New Donk State Of Mind.
How dare you forget a classic like that!
It's official Toad is the one lighting all the torches in video games dungeons.
Honestly i still can't believe Mario is like 26 y.o....
RedCrystalify Video game aging. It happens in every sonic game.
Also, it’s hat-themed. Notice not only is there an entire race of hats, but they’re more focus on the mechanic of knocking hats off of enemies to control them.
Honestly, I’m secretly hoping that at some point we get some sort of stealth game where you play as Peach sneaking out of Bowser’s castle
Hey Oxtra! Not Mario related, but have you thought about playing some Jackbox games with the rest of the OX crew? Especially with the fourth pack coming out last week, I'd love to see a video or stream in those games!

0:48 There is a second Lakitu! Pause it when the text is up, it says “Good afternoon. The Lakitu Bros., here, reporting live from just outside the Princess’s castle.” Emphasis on “Lakitu Bros.”.
9:00 Wait there's going to be an Uncharted World?! I can't wait to possess Sully.
"Greased up Dave Bautista" huh? Looks like Luke's finally given into Mike and Andy's wrestling obsession.
"... harder to pin down than a greased up Dave Batista." You've been working hard on your wrestling references, I see!
I smiled when I saw the T-Rex, just because I knew how much it meant to Luke! Also.. A T-REX WITH A MOUSTACHE AAAARRRRRR!
*asks if we've been playing a game that hasn't been released to the public yet* Yes. I've been playing it off and on as I struggle to decide if I want to use the TARDIS or the DeLorean this week. Heavy is the burden of being me.
Toad is a Viking. He gets everywhere first.
The costumes do affect the game because there are some places you can’t get without dressed up as a certain costume( I don’t remember where I saw this but I remember that it’s a part of a game)
Mario in a wedding dress...there’s something I didn’t think I’d see again.
this just proves Nintendo has finally caught up with other modern games in style of features, can't wait to play this epic game!
0:47 um, this Lakitu explicitly introduces the 'Lakitu Bros.', so yes: there are two of them 😄
1:55: Wow, Much Game, Such Good
Chumpkins??? What are you doing here in Super Mario Odyssey? No don't blow up.
You kill'a my swan!
You can wear a wedding dress!? Best Mario game ever.
lol @ Luke's Batista reference. He really only does know two movie-star wrestlers at a time
The first Mario game to really let you go crazy with how you look
*Puts on Cowboy hat*
I'd say violent possession breaks the Mario mold
Dammit Luke I just got that song out of my head!
How does Bowser get his suit under his shell? That must really hurt. Also Mario can wear a wedding dress. Let's hope Bowser doesn't accidentaly marry him instead of Peach. That would be so embarrassing!
not to take away from these 7 reasons, but I kinda feel like the fact that Mario's hat possessing people is a major gameplay mechanic is wildly different than any other Mario game. Or have I just been playing them wrong this whole time?
3:33 Schettino, TORNI A BORDO!
Sorry, just had to let out that italian meme.
Is it wrong during the Bowser clip I expected his head to explode like a ripe melon? Sniper Luigi could save Peach so easily.
The only Toad that matters is Captain Toad!
oh i didnt know mario had done the whole possessing and killing of enemies before: i thought that was something new in the mario series
As a broke college student that just bought something that costs the same as this game, I guess I shall just live vicariously through your videos. T_T
If you pause the video at :48 the text box says "Lakita Bros" so I'd assume there is a second one
Reviewers don't really get the sense of scale of this game, they just beat the story then review it, but odyssey is so much more than that, there's 70 moons in the second level! I couldn't find them all even after 7 hours!
Well, crap. I *was* going to wait a bit for a review or 2.. Now I'm gonna have to go get this damn game in the morning!
I can't afford a switch, but I'm looking forward to playing this in 4 years after the inevitable tanking of the switch and it's being sold off cheap when the Switch U is released (allowing play on TV AND switch screen! so innovative). For now I'm off to play Sonic Adventure 2....
Here’s another reason why it’s different: the bosses are bunnies, not turtles :D
So... it's basically a Mario-themed Legend of Zelda game? Noice.
Hello dears! :D
edit: oh my God, Mario in a wedding dress? Never thought I'd see that...
"Photo-real T Rex"? Who's taking that picture?
Oh so that's Pauline singing, I was wondering who it was.
So... there are a bunch of new things that have basically no real effect the core Mario deal...
How exactly selectable outfits that are exclusively cosmetic change anything?
Dont let Jane get Mario's new cap!!
"The Lakitu Bros here reporting" literally yes at least two bros
I like that pirate suit
I like to see Knack top all of that....
I think you need to expand your music repertoire.
Realistically modelled Shiba Inu? Well looks like I'm buying a switch
Is the answer “the evil, heartless theft of souls”?
Seriously I was looking forward to Mario odyssey and you had to go play escape from the city, I'll be stuck playing sonic adventure 2 now for ages
2) It's Mario Creed: Origins.
So no mention of the possession aspect of the game. Huh. Is the hat possession of the frog is your subtle way of telling us you're possessed and need help?
too bad i have to wait until christmas sigh.... that also means avoiding a bunch of spoilers
Well you don't have to save princess peach I think...
1 & ½ hours left!!!
You cannot fast travel when enemies are nearby
Anyone remember when moons where just 3 lives?😂😂
Here we are once again can't you see it's time to raise a sales it's you don't like you never know that song I can't get it out of my head
OW! My Nostalgia.........
dead.
Aren't most modern Mario games like 50% reference to older games? That's not new...
Let us ask the big question, how long will Luke make Ellen wait to play this Switch game?
Mario is like a bird
He flys away?!
0:49 There are two, because it says the lakitu BROS.
