Who makes Super Mario Odyssey?
Super Mario Odyssey is developed by Nintendo EPD Production Group No. 8 and published by Nintendo.
Super Mario Odyssey is a 3D platform game in which Mario travels between themed kingdoms with Cappy, a living hat he can throw to take control of enemies and objects. It was made by Nintendo EPD and first released by Nintendo in 2017 on Nintendo Switch, and it also plays on Nintendo Switch 2. It is sold as a one-off purchase from the Nintendo eShop and isn't available on Steam, PlayStation or Xbox.
How it plays
Super Mario Odyssey is a 3D platform game in which Mario travels the world aboard an airship, the Odyssey, to stop Bowser's wedding to Princess Peach. Collecting Power Moons powers up the ship and opens the way to new kingdoms, from ancient ruins to neon-lit cities and beach resorts.
Mario's new companion is Cappy, a resident of the Cap Kingdom in the form of Mario's red hat. Mario can throw Cappy straight, upwards, downwards or in a spin, use him as a brief platform, and hit switches and blocks with him. Throwing Cappy at enemies and objects Captures them, so Mario takes on their abilities, from stacking Goombas into a tower to crossing molten lava.
Two players can share the adventure with a Joy-Con each, one controlling Mario and the other Cappy. Assist Mode gives newcomers extra help, and each kingdom has minigames. Regional coins buy outfits and souvenirs, and after the story Luigi's Balloon World challenge has online rankings.
