  • Can you imagine what it would be like to hate Super Mario Odyssey? I'm especially qualified to say "No," given how many thousands of hours of my life I've devoted to the enjoyment of digital jump gauntlets starring Mario. In the name of fresh video content, I thought-experimented my way into the mind of my own hypothetical worst enemy-a Super Mario Odyssey hater. Contained in this video are 9 terrible reasons one could dislike Super Mario Odyssey, if one were so inclined.

    So if you're jealous of someone in particular who's going to be playing Super Mario Odyssey all weekend-maybe you don't have a Switch; maybe you want to buy one and can't find one-here's a video dedicated to you.

    I have Super Mario Odyssey on my Nintendo Switch now. I'm going to eat some tacos and then play it all night, in the dark.

      The fact that it _is_ a joke is what's wrong with this video.

  • @theruder9
    @theruder9 7 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    You actually don't need the motion controls to perform those moves. There are just the ones I've figured out so far, but there's probably more,
    *Spin analogue stick in a circle, until you see Mario 'dancing', then throw the hat to do the spin attack.
    *Ground pound and immediately throw the hat to do the auto-targeting attack.

      0:58 seriously the 2d sections reflect your costume if its not mixed and matched and the default suit is the red & blue overalls there’s a classic nes suit in the game you that you can get with amibo or enough power moons then at the shop and that will have the classic look

    The only thing I hate about Mario games was the ending.
    I can predicted the story without spoilers that bowser had kidnapped the princess then Mario had to save the princess and finally Mario saved the princess and bowser failed the end.
    Serious Mario+rabbids and super Mario 3D world Wii u ending was way better than super Mario odyssey in my opinion

    • @bluerious5475
      @bluerious5475 7 ปีที่แล้ว +1

  • @codacious14
    @codacious14 7 ปีที่แล้ว

    It actually is an 8/10 for me. Too much running around and collecting moons, most of which I find by accident, gets tedious after a while. The cap gimmick is fun sometimes, but it tends to replace actual platforming. The art direction can also be really weird. I don’t want to see Mario jumping around in NYC with realistic looking people and cars, something just feels off about that. The Broodals are extremely forgettable. I’d rather play a more focused linear platformer like Crash, DK, or 3D World, rather than run around aimlessly collecting pointless moons.

      @newairnation6280 7 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      I'm not even sure what qualifies as a "typical 3D Mario game" anymore. 64, Sunshine, and Odyssey are sandbox games that focus on exploration, 3D Land and 3D World are linear games that focus on platforming, and the Galaxy games are a mix of the two. 3D Mario as a whole won't have a proper identity unless they stick to one of their formulas, because as of right now, they keep changing everything with each game.

      @sntfrancisco31 7 ปีที่แล้ว

      Insert Username not really, it costs 10 coins to die, but coins respawn when you die, so you can simply get 10 coins from enemies and then get the coins you lost dying.... So basically dying benefits you most times.

    • @ddnava96
      @ddnava96 7 ปีที่แล้ว

      Francisco Santos. Yeah, that's my main issue. There are sections where if you die, about 15 coins are respawned, thus you're actually getting more coins by dying. It would've been cool to have it be dynamic, as in, if you die several consecutive times in the same area, you lose more coins for each death
