Snapshot Mode

Snapshot Mode is a special screenshot mode featured in Super Mario Odyssey. At any time during normal gameplay, pressing on the left Joy-Con will pause the game and activate Snapshot Mode. The player can then move and rotate the camera around, and apply filters to what is on screen before taking a screenshot of it using the Nintendo Switch's built-in screenshot function. There are 18 different filters available to use, detailed below.

Snapshot Mode cannot be used during cutscenes, when speaking with characters, or while viewing Hint Art (although normal screenshots can still be taken in all three situations), and has the same camera restrictions seen in normal gameplay. Snapshot Mode additionally removes the in-game HUD and all dialogue boxes from any nearby NPCs, and adds a white border around the screenshot.
