Super Mario Odyssey

Super Mario Odyssey (, Super Mario Odyssey) is a platforming game for the Nintendo Switch, it is the eighteenth title in the Super Mario series and the eighth 3D Mario title overall. It was released internationally on October 27, 2017.

Development
Development for Super Mario Odyssey began right after Super Mario 3D World was released in late 2013. Miyamoto wanted the game to contain the more sandbox-styled gameplay, as in Super Mario 64 and Super Mario Sunshine. The developers also had several ideas for the game, and the capture ability was one of them.

As of the kingdoms, each location was based on real-world locations, like the Sand Kingdom, which contain elements from Kenta Motokura's experiences during a trip to Mexico, and the Luncheon Kingdom's food aesthetics was inspired by Italy and other European countries.

Gameplay
Super Mario Odyssey has gameplay similar to previous 3D Mario games, specifically Super Mario 64, Super Mario Sunshine, and Super Mario 64 DS.

The game is structured in an open-world setting, similar to that found in Super Mario 64, Super Mario Sunshine, and Super Mario 64 DS. Mario uses a ship named the Odyssey, a hat-shaped flying vehicle to fly to the game's many kingdoms. He retains many of his moves from the 3D games, such as the Long Jump, Roll, Ground Pound, Ground Pound Jump, Double Jump, Triple Jump, and the returning Dive.

Mario additionally has some new techniques, including one where he can throw his hat and use it as a platform. The hat can also be used to take control of enemies, which plays a very important role in the game.

Unlike previous open-world Mario games, Mario only has three sections of health, similar to Super Mario Galaxy and Super Mario Galaxy 2. Mario also doesn't have any lives from this game. Instead, he will lose 10 coins upon dying.

Cappy can also be controlled by a second player in co-op mode, similar to the co-op from Super Mario Galaxy and Super Mario Galaxy 2.

Capture mechanic
The Capture mechanic is a new mechanic introduced in Super Mario Odyssey. By throwing his hat at certain enemies with Y, Mario can take control of them. This mechanic is used throughout the game and is an integral part of it, replacing the traditional power-up system in prior games.
