Talk:Super Mario Odyssey

I think the "lion" is a Qilin

I'm pretty sure the cat statue is an Olmec-style Jaguar. The level is a new world desert, so I think it's more likely it's based off of American culture.

The "Purple Circular Collectibles" are clearly nuts.

As in nuts and bolts.

Nuts.

I think the supporting character that appears to be a lion is in fact a Gao from Super Mario Land.

Also, there are some misplaced modifyers:


 * Hammer Bros wearing chef hats that throw frying pans
 * Small tanks wearing top hats that spit bullets

It should say "Hammer Bros that wear chef hats and throw frying pans" and "Small tanks that wear top hats and spit bullets". --166.137.14.51 23:04, 16 January 2017 (EST)

Globe Oddities
The planet on the box art is clearly Earth, but the globe seen in the trailer has different continents. Anyone know what it could mean?

EDIT: the box art was a parody. Nevermind, then.-- 20:46, 13 January 2017 (EST)

An action-adventure game?
The Super Mario platform games have never belonged to the action-adventure genre in the past, the are solely for the platform genre. Is there an official confirmation from Nintendo this game is actually categorized as an action-adventure game? I remember Nintendo saying it is an open world game and obviously still belongs to the platform genre but nothing about action-aventure. This ain't a Zelda game.

Forest/Lake/Metallic Structures location
The article says there are these three locations:


 * A forest
 * A waterfall and stream
 * An area with a lake and metallic structures
 * A circular area with flowers where one of the rabbit characters is fought
 * A reddish metallic tower

If you watch the trailer closely, however, you'll notice they're all the same level. --166.137.102.80 01:32, 15 January 2017 (EST)
 * No word on editing this in the article? :/ --166.137.14.51 23:04, 16 January 2017 (EST)
 * How can you tell that their all in the same level. We need details and sources because this is a new game and people could easily mislead us since we can't play the game ourselves. I'm not accusing you of that, but we need more than "watch closely"
 * 18:38, 19 January 2017 (EST)
 * From what I can tell, there appears to be two forests. One dark and another light. This could be just the time of day though. But then again it could not be. It is up to the reader whether or not it is true. Until the final game is released, there is no way to tell whether they are truly different or not. 18:45, 19 January 2017 (EST)
 * Nintendo mentioned "the forest" but not "the forests". At the beginning of the trailer, you can see a sign that has that rusty tower (aka "reddish metallic tower" and "metallic structures" as they're all rusty) and the watercan robot (it also says "Kogwald"). Each of those three supposed levels have the same type of grass and the same type of trees. The "area with a lake and metallic structures" has a stream that is the same width as the forest with "a waterfall and stream". It would make sense if following the waterfall and stream lead you to the lake. The scene with the upside down flower pot enemies makes this very apparent: you have the trees from the waterfall/stream forest and a reddish metallic tower which is the same type as the metallic structures at the lake. Finally, New Donk City and the Mexican town/desert having different times of day shows that it's the same forest whether it's day or night.--166.170.0.53 23:24, 20 January 2017 (EST)
 * Sorry that I reply only now, effectively, the trailer at the beginning introduces the levels that are then presented throughout the trailer. Unfortunately, the watering robots are not seen in the lake with the metallic structures, so it can be guessed that they are the same location since they are both in a forest, but we cannot be sure. I can only confirm that the metallic tower is found in the lake zone, as the glassy wall can be seen from the lake zone.--Mister Wu (talk) 21:56, 26 January 2017 (EST)

Gallery Page for SMO
It looks we're getting a lot of Screencaps from this game. Do you think we can have a gallery page for the article now? --LTIan (talk) 18:14, 1 February 2017 (EST)
 * I'm actually uploading the screenshots from the game's trailer Nintendo published on Twitter. I managed to obtain it and so I can do frame-by-frame advancements, save the indiviual frames as PNG files and then upload them here. I don't know if you would like me to upload more frames of that video. If you do, we can consider making a gallery page right now, the game will have its gallery page anyway.--Mister Wu (talk) 18:23, 1 February 2017 (EST)
 * I just made one for it. -- 18:39, 1 February 2017 (EST)

Quartet of Rabbits in Formal Clothing
I'm getting curious about those rabbit bosses, Do the four of them have official names at all or is Shigeru Miyamoto so absent-minded that he forgot to name them all? --Harold Roxby (talk) 00:46, 16 February 2017 (EST)
 * We don't know their names yet because not enough has been revealed about the game yet. 00:56, 16 February 2017 (EST)

Released date : Japan
How is the Japan flag ? (Japanese's released date) I edit.

Possible Release Date
On Amazon, there is a pre-order page for Oddysey, and the scheduled release date is December 29th, 2017. Could that be the official release date?

UPDATE: Yes, I wrote this. I just forgot to log in.

Amiibo
Amiibo has just announced to be used for this game. Just heard about it during the Treehouse Live. --RodneytheMiiGuy 12:57, 13 June 2017 (EDT)

Lyrics
A lot of the lyrics listed on the page appear to be misheard. Multiple listens to the song yield that these are at least somewhat closer to the actual lyrics in the song.

Here we go

Off the rails

Don'tcha know it's time to raise our sails?

It's freedom like you never knew~

Don't need bags

Or a pass

Say the word, I'll be there in a flash!

You could say my hat is off to you~

Oh, we can zoom all the way to the moon

From this great wide, wacky world

Jump with me! Grab coins with me! Oh yeah!

It's time to jump up in the air! (jump up in the air)

Jump up don't be scared! (jump up don't be scared)

Jump up and your cares will soar away~

And if the dark clouds start to swirl (dark clouds start to swirl)

Don't fear to shed a tear 'cuz

I'll be your 1-Up girl~

So let's all jump up super high! (jump up super high)

High up in the sky! (high up in the sky)

There's no power-up like dancing~

You know that you're my super star (you're my super star)

Now one else can take me this far

I'm flipping the switch

Get ready for this

Oh, let's do the Odyssey~

Odyssey, ya see (x7)

Odyssey, Odyssey~

Spin the wheel

Take a chance

Every journey starts a new romance

A new world's calling out to you~

Take a turn

Off the path

Find a new addition to the cast

Ya know that any captain needs a crew~

Take it in stride, as you move side-to-side

They're just different points of view

Jump with me! Grab coins with me! Oh yeah!

Come on and jump up in the air! (jump up in the air)

Jump without a care! (jump without a care)

Jump up 'cuz you know that I'll be there~

And if you find you're short on joy (find you're short on joy)

Don't fret, just don't forget that

You're still our 1-Up boy~

So go on, straighten up your cap! (straighten up your cap)

Let your toes begin to tap! (toes begin to tap)

This rhythm is a Power Shroom~

Don't forget you're the super star (you're the super star)

No one else can make it this far

Run a comb through that 'stache

Now you've got panache

Oh, let's do the Odyssey~

It's time to jump up in the air! (jump up in the air)

Jump up don't be scared! (jump up don't be scared)

Jump up and your cares will soar away~

And if the dark clouds start to swirl (dark clouds start to swirl)

Don't fear to shed a tear 'cuz

I'll be your 1-Up girl~

Now listen, all you boys and girls! (all you boys and girls)

All around the world! (all around the world)

Don't be afraid to get up and move~

You know that we're all super stars (we're all super stars)

We're the ones who made it this far

Put a smile on that face

There's no time to waste

Oh, let's do the Odyssey~

Stuff to add
Theres a new area in the game: Look at the cheep cheep scene in the trailer. Thats a new water area. Also, the Sand Kingdom is called Tostareena. Dont forget how when you collect a moon, it just jumps to the next mission, theres no mission select, although moons can be collected out of order. Dont forget about that dark village seen in the trailer, too. Also, ya know how they said stickers can be bought? Well check this out: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=sSVcuI0WXq0 Does this mean Peachs Castle will be a level?

Super Mario Odyssey confirmed to be translated to Traditional Chinese
http://www.nintendo.com.hk/ Also, can somebody copypaste the Traditional Chinese logo? Gold Luigi (talk) 05:33, 14 June 2017 (EDT)

Description problems
The description at the very top talks about how Mario's hat "may be alive" instead of directly referencing Cappy's character. (I'm a new member so I can't edit it myself) -Jonaho23


 * Thanks, it's fixed now.


 * 07:09, 14 June 2017 (EDT)

Topper
In the latest E3 presentation, during the fight with Harriet at the end of the SMO presentation, the hosts talk about their favorite Brudals. One of them mentions a Brudal by name, Topper, the short one with the green suit. Should Topper be added to the page? Or should we wait for more than a mention? 10:49, 14 June 2017 (EDT)
 * Even though we don't know the exact spelling, it's clear that the green Broodal is named Topper, so I added him. Thanks for telling us!--Mister Wu (talk) 21:06, 16 June 2017 (EDT)

enemy list errors
The "map" poster we use for a source of the Kingdom names and their main areas also give us many enemy names, such as "Goomba", "Bullet Bill", etc. If this is as reliable as we believe it to be, then we should change the source for "Frog" being an enemy to this poster, as the trailer it is currently sourced to has no implication that the frog is an enemy, whilst the poster lists it as one. We should also remove the T-Rex [as it is labelled on the poster] from supporting characters and to the enemy list, as the poster lists it as another enemy. Maybe we should also list the enemy names on the poster as well, which as sort of been done, due to the inclusion of Fire Bros and Chargin' Chucks on the enemy list. So, quite a bit of editing to do! 86.161.221.118 11:20, 15 June 2017 (EDT)
 * I'm inclined to agree with you. I also believe we should combine the "Supporting Cast" and "Non-Playable Characters" sections together, like on the Super Mario 3D World page. NPCs and Supporting Cast seem to be one-and-the-same to me. What are your thoughts on that? Nintendo101 (talk) 14:50, 15 June 2017 (EDT)

I don't know how to edit on here, but for the foreign names section, there needs to be an apostrophe in "Maliou" so it becomes "Mali'ou" because of syllable boundary technicalities in pinyin. I omitted the tonal markings for convenience.


 * Missed that. It's fixed now, thanks. 21:57, 15 June 2017 (EDT)

1 and 3 UP Hearts
the japanese odyssey twitter talked about those hearts with screenshots->https://twitter.com/mario_odysseyJP/status/875601500684247040 Would someone add it to the page for me, since I am not sure where tehy'd go best...?


 * The first one is a regular heart that restores one wedge of health, and the second is the Life-Up Heart that increases max health by 3. Both are already on the page. 06:40, 18 June 2017 (EDT)

Two other Broodals
There is one in purple named Harriet, and one in green named Topper, but what about the one in Blue and the tall one in orange? do they deserve names as well? Harold Roxby (talk) 14:02, 21 June 2017 (EDT)
 * Of course they do. We just don't know what they are yet. 14:04, 21 June 2017 (EDT)

Sand Kingdom before Metro Kingdom?
One thing I've discovered while searching for footage is about the Slots minigame. It appears that the Slots will appear in every Kingdom. Or at least they appear in both Metro and Sand Kingdoms.

The thing, in Sand Kingdom, the minigame has 3 wheels, while in Metro Kingdom the minigame has 4 wheels. So if the Slots minigame is harder in New Donk City than it is in Tostarena, could this be because Sand Kingdom will actually come before Metro Kingdom?

I know it seems weird, considering in general New Donk City seems to be more an easier tutorial stage, but that's one point for that theory.

What we know about the Odyssey Ship
If anybody wants to add information about the Odyssey ship to the article, I will list some of the things we know about the ship.

These facts come from the official Russian twitter on Super Mario Odyssey, but I'm pretty sure all these facts are on the Japanese page as well.


 * Mario can decorate the Odyssey using things he purchases from Crazy Cap store.
 * The Odyssey's door doesn't have a door handle. Mario must either throw Cappy at the door to open it, or enter via an exaust pipe.
 * The bright lights of the Odyssey allow flying even in the darkest nights.
 * The mysteryous Mast of the Odyssey grows bigger with Power Moons, allowing Mario to travel further.
 * The exterior of the Odyssey is made from aluminum.

Kingdom names in Russian

 * Metro Kingdom - Городское царство.
 * Sand Kingdom - Песчаное царство.
 * Luncheon Kingdom - Кулинарное царство.

Chargin Chucks in Super Mario Oddssey
I have seen gameplay and no Koopa Football Players in sight. Wariopig (talk) 11:55, 16 July 2017 (EDT)Wariopig
 * They are listed among the relevant characters of New Donk City in the official kingdoms' map. The E3 demo was rather limited in scope so I'm not surprised that we didn't see them yet. Once the final game is out we'll have to recheck everything of course.--Mister Wu (talk) 14:06, 16 July 2017 (EDT)

Why is this game rated E10+?
This is so fair the only main Mario game to be rated E10+ by ESRB. Do you have any reason why?


 * We're not the ones that decide what the game is rated :P No, as far as I'm aware, the ESRB has not given a listing of what to expect in the game that could effect the rating. 12:47, 14 August 2017 (EDT)

Broodal
The Broodals need a page...I think. B ron 3000  12:46, 15 August 2017 (EDT)
 * Eventually, yes. Let's wait for all the Broodals to be introduced first, though. 12:46, 15 August 2017 (EDT)

UI Changes
Gamescom footage has shown a few changes to the game's UI, including a monitor showing the number of Power Moons available in a Kingdom, as well as how many have been found. How should this be addressed in the Kingdom table, as well as the individual Kingdom pages?


 * We need to see the final UI first, then any differences that are noticeable in the various demos shown go in the prerelease and unused material section.--Mister Wu (talk) 12:37, 23 August 2017 (EDT)

Seaside Kingdom
Is the name of the kingdom "Seaside Kindom" or "Spacide Kingdom"? In the source provided for "Spacide Kingdom", while it slightly resembles a "p", it also looks like it could be a body of water behind the "e", causing it to resemble a "p". -- 20:52, 23 August 2017 (EDT)
 * To me (going by this source), it looks like "Seaside Kingdom". It's a bit stylized, but it resembles the "E" above it in "Luncheon Kingdom". 22:08, 23 August 2017 (EDT)
 * It's probably "Seaside". "Spaside" isn't totally implausible, but it seems like a rather forced play on words and would be out of place in a list of otherwise straightforward kingdom names (Metro Kingdom, Sand Kingdom, Wooded Kindgom, etc). 22:13, 23 August 2017 (EDT)
 * Linking to this discussion: it does look like it says "Seaside" in the video I mentioned (the same one Time Turner linked), and does seem to make the most sense given everything that's been said so far, so I'm leaning towards that. 23:47, 23 August 2017 (EDT)

Looking at https://youtu.be/6UE7gj7wbug?t=16m18s I think it's actualy Seaside

It's actually Spaside

Was the 1080p setting there before? Must have missed it before, but it definitely looks like "Seaside Shore" at that resolution. 08:38, 24 August 2017 (EDT)


 * I'm adamant that it says Spaside. I'm looking at this, which shows a looped P.

 * 23:08, 26 August 2017 (EDT)
 * The lower rung of the E is hooked. Since it's over what looks like a patch of water, it's partially masked by the background, but compare it to the E in the nearby Luncheon Kingdom. 23:11, 26 August 2017 (EDT)

http://i.imgur.com/3bNDFnd.png

I still stand by "Seaside", as the "E" looks very much like the one at the end of the word, and in the word "Luncheon", as TT said. 23:54, 26 August 2017 (EDT)
 * Pretty sure that's an "E" and the smudge below it is an island. Looks very similar to the "E" in the same word. Also, if you take a look at where this screencap is on the World Atlas image, you can see an island directly under where the "E" would be placed. Not sure if that helps any, but hey, there's an island. 00:02, 27 August 2017 (EDT)
 * That definitely looks like an E. 16:09, 27 August 2017 (EDT)

Chef Bro
Have I missed something obvious, or did they ever refer to the skillet-throwing Hammer Bros as "Chef Bros"? 05:57, 31 August 2017 (EDT)

Not that I heard of, last time I checked. 21:25, 2 September 2017 (EDT)

Mushroom Kingdom Wedding Item?
In the "Kingdoms" section, is it safe to assume that Peach is the Wedding Item? I know that Peach isn't exactly an "Item", but Bowser's going to each kingdom to get stuff for his wedding, and he also kidnapped Peach from the Mushroom Kingdom. I'd say it's pretty safe to assume that Peach is the Wedding "Item" from the Mushroom Kingdom. Should I add it in? -- 22:46, 13 September 2017 (EDT)
 * Eh, sounds a little too speculatory. 22:46, 13 September 2017 (EDT)
 * Yeah, I guess you're right. We'll just have to wait and see. -- 22:47, 13 September 2017 (EDT)

Enemy Names
This is technically speculation, but I think I can back this up. The names on the map showed prominent enemy names? Well they match up logically with enemies we've seen by now. Burrbo: The Hedgehog-looking enemy. It's covered in burrs, and has a similar body structure and mouth to a Kuribo. Furthermore, the locations match up. Glydon: The Saurian glider. It glides, and is based off of a Pterodon. The only thing that doesn't match is the location, but it could very well be multi-localled, as many enemies seem to be. Gushen: The purple octopuses, which seem to be the most prominent enemy in the Seaside Kingdom, given how often they appeared, and appear to have a boss version atop a stack. Furthermore, their attack pattern (and Mario's gained ability) is to gush water from them to move at high speeds through various "terrains". Just wanted to throw this out here. Should the article be changed, or is it to speculative? Doc von Schmeltwick (talk) 18:47, 14 September 2017 (EDT)
 * In my opinion you can add the names, but as Unknown until we receive the confirmation of their actual role in the game.--Mister Wu (talk) 19:56, 14 September 2017 (EDT)
 * The names are already in the section, just separate from descriptions that seem to match. Doc von Schmeltwick (talk) 20:15, 14 September 2017 (EDT)
 * My bad, I was indeed looking at the Unknown section because I expected to find them there. These kinds of interesting observations are usually added on the page of the enemies, to point out the likely reason why a name was chosen, so you can add them there when said pages will exist. For the moment I think you should just be prepared to edit when the connection between enemies and names will be made, hopefully the Twitter channels will make said connection before the game's release.--Mister Wu (talk) 21:06, 14 September 2017 (EDT)
 * How surreal, someone typed "becasue" that wasn't me. Doc von Schmeltwick (talk) 23:22, 15 September 2017 (EDT)
 * Gotcha, fixed that...--Mister Wu (talk) 23:29, 15 September 2017 (EDT)

Mystery Kingdom with lizard-thing and poison water actually Lake Kingdom
As Gamexplain recently pointed out in their Odyssey direct footage analysis, the purple/poison water is definitely a lake and it's could be assumed that since all the other kingdom's land masses seem to be based around key elements of that kingdom the Mystery Kingdom would fit perfectly as the Lake Kingdom as the Lake Kingdom resembles a tropical tree, Whivh the Mystery Kingdom seems to be full of. I'm nearly 100% Certain that they're both one in the same but what do you guys think? Seandwalsh (talk) 19:33, 15 September 2017 (EDT)
 * I think we should wait until we have some concrete information. 19:34, 15 September 2017 (EDT)
 * It's likely, but not yet certain, although if it is confirmed feel free to write about the shape of the land masses referencing elements found in the kingdoms.--Mister Wu (talk) 23:11, 15 September 2017 (EDT)

I don't think so. The Lake Kingdom is well above the area in the shape of palm trees, which would've been the tropical area seen in the latest trailer.

23:39, 15 September 2017 (EDT)
 * Umm, so? Seaside's unrelated to this discussion. Doc von Schmeltwick (talk) 23:52, 15 September 2017 (EDT)


 * I never mentioned Seaside...


 * 00:44, 16 September 2017 (EDT)
 * Tropical area with the palm tree? I thought you meant like "Tropical beach island," as that's where Palm Trees are most often depicted. Doc von Schmeltwick (talk) 01:31, 16 September 2017 (EDT)


 * Sorry, I shouldn't have assumed that you watched the Direct.


 * 01:58, 16 September 2017 (EDT)


 * I did watch the direct, and in fact added most of the new content to the page as it was going on. It's just that the area most prominently featured in the direct was the beach area. Doc von Schmeltwick (talk) 02:01, 16 September 2017 (EDT)
