Super Mario Odyssey

Super Mario Odyssey is an upcoming open-world, platform game for the Nintendo Switch set to release Holiday 2017. It is the sixteenth title in the Super Mario series, the seventh original 3D Mario title, the eighth 3D Mario title overall, and the sixth 3D Mario title on a home console after Super Mario 3D World. The game has Mario leaving the Mushroom Kingdom to reach an unknown open world-like setting, like Super Mario 64 and Super Mario Sunshine. Mario will be wearing a different cap in this game and it has eyes. A new mechanic in the game allows Mario to throw this cap as if it was a boomerang and he can also jump off of the cap in midair like a platform. Judging by posters seen in the announcement trailer, it seems that the game's story will involve, at least in part, Mario preventing a forced marriage of Princess Peach to Bowser, similar to Super Paper Mario.

References to other games

 * Donkey Kong: The location New Donk City looks to be a throwback to Mario's early origins as Jumpman. There are steel girders that resemble the ones seen in this game, and the taxi cabs have license plates reading "1981-ND", referencing the year Mario and Donkey Kong made their debut. The name New Donk City is also a reference to Donkey Kong himself.
 * Donkey Kong Country series: Characters' names from this series appear as street signs all over New Donk City.
