Super Mario Odyssey's Mini Kingdoms: Which Is The WORST? | Level By Level
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 18 พ.ค. 2024
- Super Mario Odyssey is full of the best levels ever designed. Everything from steam gardens, new donk city, fossil falls, and more are all incredibly iconic kingdoms. Mario Odyssey does however have four kingdoms that don't quite live up to the others, cloud kingdom, ruined kingdom, dark side, and darker side. Since these are all smaller than Mario Odyssey's other kingdoms I have decided to call them the mini kingdoms. In today's video we are going to analyze all four of mario odyssey's mini kingdoms. We'll be looking at their aesthetic, design, story, captures, and moons to determine which is Super Mario Odyssey's worst kingdom?

I hope I will enjoy
Great video odyssey
great vid
It was great
we hit 75k!!!!
“Mario Odyssey is gone to some of the best levels ever designed in Mario” yeah, me and my Mario Maker 2 flat level full of 1000 hammer Bros and you have to kill all of them would beg to differ.
That map would beg for mercy
Wait, Little Timmy, you have a Google Account?
No
Your map is horrible everyone but little timmy will dislike your level

Dark Side actually has a bit of story. If you don't skip the Broodals' dialogues, we find that one wants to steal the Odyssey, and another wants to take revenge on Mario for them not getting any work after Bowser's failed wedding.
Yeah Dark side is essentially a broodal revenge fantasy
The ruined kingdom is easily one of the most missed potential things in any Mario game. I love the idea but I wish the kingdom was just a little bit bigger so there was more to explore with the creepy aesthetic
I remember someone saying that the Ruined Kingdom would have been a great place to introduce boos and bring back Boo Mario in a way, which would have made for some cool puzzles. It also would have been neat to see some lightning puzzles that require you to move metal objects (or metal enemies) to conduct the electricity and power stuff, or if there was a climbing segment on a crumbling tower, not necessarily as a timed mission, but just the idea of climbing around ruins, especially with Odyssey's superb movement options, would be so cool.
Ruined Kingdom and Snow Kingdom
@Ryan Crawmer Maybe even with some NPC's that regularly live there!
@Ryan Crawmer this is a great idea for odyssey 2! That is if it will even happen
I hope they return to cloud too. So much scrapped content
Its kinda sad how the ruined Kingdom is only a Mini Kingdom, felt like there was so much potential
That’s a reason why I rank it the worst
I mean, it is RUINED kingdom...
Makes sense as to why it’s the worst kingdom in the game. It’s RUINED potential.
The cloud kingdom too, it had so much unused content
@@solgaleo3533 cloud is better since it’s more varied in gameplay and even has overworld gameplay
Imagine how good the Cloud Kingdom could have been. Make the aesthetic somewhat like Sky Garden from Mario Kart Super Circuit, and the captures things like spiny-throwing Lakitus and Ty-Foos. The NPCs could be a cloud people of the sky, and it could be an exploration based kingdom. That would be AMAZING, right?!?
Mario RPG kind of did this idea actually, though obviously it's been so long since that game came out that it would be a good time to revisit it in a different way
@@thejedisonic67indeed, bring in an expanded nimbus land
I know Darker side is really small but it has some of the best platforming in the Mario series
I hate darker side its so misplaced
@@Tacocat-pv7ox It makes the most sense where it is.
@@Totemig-_- I know I just really don’t think it’s a good ending. It’s not like Mario at all
@@Tacocat-pv7ox It's not an ending. It's an additional challenge for the people who want it. Most 3d marios had that kind of challenge at the end. Have you ever completed one? Doesn't sound like it.
@@lebens3585 Ik and I have completed one
If ruined kingdom was bigger, you would capture the dragon after the fight and fly to different island structures across the place to do different stuff
That’s my idea at least.
Edit: there could also be Boos and dry bones to capture. Dry bones for smash, as a certain TH-camr once said.
Munchers for smash
Waluigi for smash
Drybones for smash
oooooh
i like
Just a thought, there should be a character based of the 64 version of Mario with his full move set as well as the Smash moveset unlocked at the end of the game.
Ruined Kingdom was such a massive missed opportunity, but I still can't forget the moment I saw a Dark Souls dragon in a Mario game.
this video is really well made - i hope it does well, good job Odyssey!

“Wing Mario over the Rainbow looks better than Cloud Kingdom”
So you have chosen death
Yeah but at least over the rainbow has some colorful rainbows scattered around.
While cloud kingdom is just W H I T E

The Honeylune Ridge theme is such a weird theme for me. It’s not a bad song by any means however, depending on the kingdom the song can have different meanings. When it’s in the Moon Kingdom it has that build up especially with the church bells but after you beat Bowser it just feels really calming. Darker Side also makes the song feel really relaxing after you beat the gauntlet. However, I personally think it sounds really ominous in Dark Side. It’s the mix between the muted colours, the bottomless pits and the music which is why I personally find Dark Side quite creepy. Anyone else feel the same way?
Yes
I love the pure white setting with a sunset sky of cloud kingdom. The layout is what kills the kingdom for me.
how did I never realise those yellow things in the Ruined Kingdom were swords lol
Probably the incredibly impractical handle design. Which is also probably what led to their wielders' demise.
Odyssey has become one of those youtubers who I watch everything from just because I enjoy their content. I haven't watched this one yet but I'm sure it will be a good one.
Edit: That was a really great video. I liked all of the smash references, and the Minecraft Minigames Music hit me with some real nostalgia. I still don't know why they didn't keep those around.
Minecraft console mini games are far better than any server’s mini games and no one can convince me otherwise
@@Odyssey_Central Can't argue with facts.
@@Odyssey_Central my man is right. I played the battle minigame for hours on end on my Wii u
Dark Side: "No heart refills"
Me on my way to cheese it by going in the odyssey to heal:
You can ?
Idk i did this 3 years ago i think
I cheesed it with Assist Mode
About the dragon in the ruined kingdom I always felt it was kinda funny having such a realistic dragon
Yeah, Odyssey's artstyle is all over the place. Honestly some of these models look like something you'd find in the Unity asset store.
@@ashtongiertz8728 especially in luncheon kingdom
Yeah, the low-poly models and monochromatic colors make for an odd experience.
I'm truly loving this series! Can't wait to see more!😃
Originally, I thought that the cloud kingdom would be Greek or Roman inspired. I literally thought that the arena was like the Colosseum. Then I arrived. I almost fried my Switch from crying.
I'm so glad you brought this series back! It's one of my favorites on your channel!
For me, it feels like this:
Dark Side and Darker Side are there for a boss rush and challenge, respectively.
Everyone wants to see Ruined Kingdom again, while no one wants to see Cloud Kingdom again.
yes
In the words of the great Heisenberg
“You’re goddamn right”
4 years after this game came out and I'm still learning new things about it. Never knew the frozen water skip. Also great vid
Same
Now it’s nearly five
You can actually refill your hearts on dark side, there’s a life up on the stalk of one of the stone vegetables that you can go back to at any point during the boss rush without losing progress.
Bro, I had no clue that level analysis would be so interesting. Just binged all the Level by Level episodes, they're so good. Keep it up!
Next level by level video: Which is better? Lake or seaside?
Seaside, no question
Obviously Seaside
Seaside
i think none of their aesthetics are typical mario. thats why i like cloud kingdom. its giving me a dream feel with the pastel rainbow ish colours and the grey white. i like the other small kingdoms aesthetics more but i dont think we should be dissing it so quickly. cloud kingdom just make me feel lonely and dull and i think thats exactly what they wanted.
its obviously boring and if they added rainbows and pastel coloured pipes it would probably be my favourite kingdom aesthetic.
I didn’t realize how amazingly designed Darker Side was until you described it. It truly does tie together the entire game; and it’s a perfect representation of the journey the player had.
I love this video so much! Easily your best. I love the criteria you critiqued the kingdoms on. Hope this video does well
No, I didn’t know clouds existed in real life, thank you so much for teaching me this

Dark Side mixes the Moon and Luncheon Kingdoms and I love it.
I've been waiting for the sequel, I love these kinds of videos and your analysis of the kingdoms is super interesting. hope to see another one in the future!
also I hope that if you do every kingdom you do a final ranking of them all with a little recap, that would be super fun to watch
This series is awesome I love it so much keep it up
I’m really sad these aren’t preforming as well as some of your other videos! This series is amazing!
Really good video. Hope you make more in this series
Nice long video! Awesome! Also thank you so much for using my name idea!
43:12 me still not able to find the moon while I have 840 moons: bruh
I had a dream once about Cloud Kingdom. Basically, it had the aesthetic of Cloudtop Cruise from MK8, being set on not only clouds but on rainbows and on giant vines growing out of massive Brick Blocks and ? Blocks. I’d say it was a combination of Cloudtop Cruise, Gusty Garden Galaxy, Rainbow Road, Rainbow Ride and the cloud kingdom we got. There would also be the occasional airship alongside the gargantuan beanstalk and wispy clouds, some of which would have been overgrown by the vines. It would make use of all of the other kingdom’s captures in creative ways. For example, there would be a giant ? Block that Mario can’t hit, and you would need to capture a Banzai Bill and hit the Block with it to make the vine sprout out of the top. Another part had you capturing a Gushen to water a seed and make it grow. At the top there would be the area seen in the concept art, a vast expanse of islands atop a sea of clouds, mountains and waterfalls all supported by the clouds. Ahead would be the castle seen in the artwork, which would be inhabited by Lakitus. Some common captures would be Ty-foos, Bullet Bills, Wigglers, Octoombas, Stingbys, normal and fishing Lakitus, and Bloopers with the main capture being Flopters, which were enemies from 3D world. You could use it to jump high into the air and glide down slowly, similarly to the spin platforms in NSMBDS or the tornados in the Galaxy games. You would also do the drill spin like in NSMBDS when you ground pounded while spinning. Some other enemies included Fuzzies, the Angry Sun, Choppahs, and Thwomps.
If I were to make a list, it'd be...
4. Dark Side
I have like....0 memories of Dark Side. I've completed it twice, and both times were many months ago. The one thing I do remember about it is the hint art. I'm not the biggest fan of the hint art, but OH MY GOD I LOVE THAT LUNCHEON SPOT THE DIFFERENCE ONE! It's a perfect mix of difficulty and fun and only took me 5 minutes to figure out. I also just really like spot the difference.
3. Darker Side
I just completed Darker Side for the second time a week or so ago, and it was fun! I also may or have may not used Glydon skip because I hate that area with the spiky guys and Pokyo, but uhhhhh great kingdom! Very fun.
2. Cloud Kingdom
I like the aesthetic of Cloud alot. I've always loved the thought of just being so high up in the sky that you can't see the ground. Very pretty kingdom, 9/10.
1. Ruined Kingdom
Scream at me all you want for putting Darker Side at number 3 and Ruined at number 1, but I love this kingdom! it's my favourite kingdom in Mario Odyssey, actually.........mostly because of the dragon but who doesn't love dragons? Not me, I love dragons, and you'd know that if you seen my profile picture because it's a Wings of Fire OC. (not anymore lol, thank you to that person who replied so i can update this comment) Not only does it have a dragon, but I love the aesthetic alot, and I always like to come back to it. Hey, I even collected every moon in Ruined like last week. Amazing kingdom, very pretty, has a dragon, 11/10.
I couldn't agree more!
I feel like both ruined and cloud should have at first seemed to be mini kingdoms but when you came back to them after the story mode there would be more areas in both kingdoms and it would be revealed that they were kind of like a yin-yang situation
41:34 you’re just standing on the poison
Odyssey central: says something good about Cloud kingdom
My brain: Wait that’s illegal
I love how darker side only has the story moon, given it’s the final place you go and it’s also the end. But that ending. The music box just makes it emotional.
Wow, clouds really exist in real life! I thought they were some fantasy
Me too!
This video was really well done, don’t worry I agree complete on the ruined kingdom... it really did feel like a wasted and not yet completed opportunity.
Have a good day.
i agree about the cloud
The level by level series is soooo good!
I really like this video this is the video that got me introduced to you and I love rewatching it
Lol you just talked about what I think about every of these kingdoms. Nice video!
The only reason I like cloud kingdom is that with the black top hat and black tuxedo you could recreate virtual insanity
Man I love your videos so much!
The dragon boss fight at ruined kingdom was EPIC
i enjoy a lot in this video you can rank levels in super mario sunshine becuase your videos is pretty good !
Odyssey central: did you know clouds exist in real life?
Me: NO I DIDNT THATS SO COOL NOW I CAN FLY TO A CLOUD AND FIGHT BOWSER!!!
The part where you were talking about the long climb up the grayscale version of New Donk City Hall reminded me of one of my favorite games of all time, Phantasy Star Online. In that game, the final section of the final level of Episode I ends with a massive room full of many enemies that you must defeat to get to the boss room (except in later versions, where this is bugged so only one wave spawns most of the time, resulting in a very anticlimactic final room). There is then a very long hallway that you have to walk down to get to the boss teleporter, building the player's anticipation and giving them a chance to think about their massive achievement of completing such a long and tedious level in one go. Then the final boss itself has three phases (two in the Normal difficulty), and is very challenging, making the anticipation well worth it.
Phantasy Star Online may be a rather dated game in terms of the MMO genre, but it has many principles of good level design that you highlight in this series. It's one of SEGA's best and most underrated titles in my opinion, and a free-to-play rerelease of it can still be played using dedicated fan servers.
I´m a new subscriber, love the videos, specially the Odissey content
14:59 *Laughs in multiplayer*
I really like the pink to yellow sky gradient in cloud, and even the plain white ground I think could be cool, but I think the layout hurts it. Just one circular platform is so lame, if it was like a big castle or something as a medium kingdom I think it could be pretty cool
The Joseph Anderson video is fantastic.
That gag was pretty good.
I still agree with his general criticisms of Odyssey.
That video of his was constructed very poorly and missed the point of the game entirely
Cloud was the first one I backtracked to post game 😬 i just liked it
29:52 i got a washing machine ad when the screen turned red lol
Honestly when you talked about dark sides story if didn’t really feel like you talked about to e story, more the boss fights and gravity. You didn’t at all mention how this is the broodals getting their final revenge on Mario, or how we were basically at the doorstep of their home. Not that it was great, but it bothered me.
Please continue this series!!
I love how he just went from being very peaceful then was just like well on to the captures
I think that at cloud kingdom after jou beat darker side a new pipe will apear with a bowsers face on it and if you can defeat him you can walk around the cloud kingdom.
you can go to places what are blocks who only bowser can destroy and do new things.
Same for the dragon if you completeted dark side you can go with the dragon (he will give you a ride) to new ilands.
Maybe in mario odyssey 2
26:20 I actually don't like Glidon that much. His gliding is something I've yet to be able to do successfully. It was the first section of the final section that gave me trouble
The Pokio's are another capture I dislike, and it was the Pokio why I had to use assist mode to beat the final challenge.
It makes since why the Cloud Kingdom is a mini kingdom because even though it's had it's own actual Worlds before like in New Super Mario Bros, most of it's iterations before were just sub areas within levels.
I love steve's simplistic smash moves (as in how they are animated)
Oh, Bowser Castle 8bit 1 does hurt your ears
Bro I watch Ceave and I most definitely enjoy your videos more! And I’ve been watching you for longer
9:30: best joke ever
No it's 44:11
ok so idk if this is a well known fact but i just realized while looking at the cloud kingdom in this video that the little circle areas that bowser stands on have shadows that represent the phases of the moon and its such a neat detail
The music box in darker side hit me like a speeding truck of emotion.
Ruined kingdom is my very least favourite kingdom in the game. The reason is simple: *it begs more questions than it answers.*
While cloud is empty, it is presented and intended to be empty. It's meant to be this way, with no more of a story than a "This is an empty arena in a random place with no lore or background." Ruined kingdom, on the other hand, has this dramatic camera angle in the opening, yelling "Check me out, I have an edgy atmosphere and a deep backstory unlike anything else in the game". And then it slaps you in the face when you realise there is 1 platform, leading to another one. They had our expectations set so high and then give us nothing in return, like they could have unlocked just 1-2 other towers to explore after the fight and it would have had way more to offer. But instead we're left with a wasteland which takes like 20 seconds to explore.
I’m gonna say this, besides the ending all you said about darker side’s story isn’t story it’s design
Off topic but I love your level by level videos can you make a ranking of all the kingdoms in Mario Odyssey.
I understand if you don’t make more long videos for a while but I enjoy them
44:18 I didn't even notice that they existed

Very enjoyable video discussing Mario Odyssey my favourite Switch game.
22:43
Could. It's more of a personal challenge than a joke here, if you're feeling experienced enough. Believe me, I struggled there a couple of times.
47:13 Imagine if there were separate challenges that represented other captures that you could take? Maybe a section where you have to use the Gushen or Bullet Bill
Love these vids
I'm sick, but this made me feel better
Please even if this does bad please do more because I really like these.
i remember first seeing ruined kingdom in promotional material when they first showed the dragon i was expecting this kingdom to be a ghost type of kingdom where its almost a big ghost house type level. even if it was going to be a small kingdom this would of made this area so much more interesting then a boss fight area
I did not know that clouds existed IRL! Mind blown🤯

Funny that you included Champion's Road as an example, even though you can literally skip the whole water section of this level.
what's the music playing during the 39:11 segment? tried finding it for so long...
Deku palace - The legend of Zelda majoras mask
Ruined was genuinely the best, (and my favourite), mario level idea I've ever seen, so it was extremely disappointing when it was extremely small, same with cloud, but ruined is the best.
Plus I love dragons
I forgive dark and darker side, because we got three moon kingdoms as one huge moon kingdom.
My problem with hint Art moons are how they count to the kingdom of the art, and not the kingdom you find the moon in
I really hope cloud and ruined return if we get an odyssey 2. Cloud had so so much scrapped content, and Ruined had tons of missed potential. Like, all those broken spires and stuff would’ve been so cool, as would those floating castles seen in the concept art.
personally i vastly prefer cloud kingdom to normal Mario sky levels, sure they're more colorful I guess but they feel pretty basic and cookie cutter visually: just clouds and a white sky and sometimes this generic mushroom hill things.
Cloud Kingdom on the other hand looks all dreamy and the sunset, the background cloud gate thing and the very visible moon make it look really pretty imo. It looks colorful but not a generic assets kind of way.
Odyssey central: the hardest hint art.
