As the title goes, I (finally) completed Super Mario Odyssey<\/em> today. Would had done it sooner, but I’ve been kind of procrastinating with other things. But anyway, the journey to complete the game was pretty cool. Finding the moons was a pain, but I liked the 8-bit parts.
\nI think my favorite part of the game, went to New Donk City’s celebration part, where you’re doing a long 8-bit section while “Odyssey” is being sung by the mayor. There was even a section that went back to the days of Donkey Kong. That was freakin’ cool.
\nThe second part I kind of liked (but I wish they would do more of) is the section before entering New Donk City, of dealing with a chaos dragon. Really would had liked to have seen more of this fight, than just jumping over AOE attacks (and dodging electric saw blades).
\nThe battles with Bowser were pretty intense, as sometimes it can be almost unpredictable what he would do.
\n–
\nThen there was the part at the end where I went to the Mushroom Kingdom. Super Mario 64<\/em> nostalgia right here– The Power Moons are stars (and the music\/animation when you grab one) is the same.
\nGoing to the ‘Goomba Woods’, I see fruit that looks very familiar– holy shit, is this the fruit from Super Mario World<\/em>?! That means.. yep. YOSHI is here (and he’s still on the castle roof from Super Mario 64<\/em>)!! \ud83d\ude00 Okay, best game ever.
\nBut what turned me off was doing an 8-bit section that looked like something from Super Mario Maker<\/em>. There are two sections where this black background moves. And if you don’t stay within that black background, you’ll fall out of the world and end up back in the 3D world. Not only that, but you got a fuckton of Bullet Bills coming at you from all
\ndirections, and platforms to deal with, while trying to get a hard to reach Power Moon! WTF?!<\/p>\n

Overall, it’s a cool game, but to me it’s not worth $60. There’s not really a lot of replayability (unless you hack your Switch, which I’m not doing). So I’ve sent it back for the game I got the Switch for; Super Mario Maker 2<\/em>. There I’ll play some of the levels that were made for Dashie (and rage the FRUUUUUUK OUT).
\nI’ll have to get my own meters. Perhaps a Meter Meter Meter (a Meter that meters Meters).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
