mario odyssey chat, featuring spoilers
Laugh please
This is funny to me because of a glitch I saw in a wrestling game that led to the player just waiting for the game to do something after a match ended.

there's a moon called "A Treasure Made From Coins" where you're supposed to jump into deep woods, locate the coin purse guy (who I never even noticed was there before), possess it, and shoot your coins at a plant. I actually did notice the plant in the river and figured it was something to do with that cause there were coins laying next to it, but if you never notice the coin purse guy, you'll never figure this part out.
Also, even once I looked up the solution and knew what to do it still took me like 20 minutes of running around to find the stupid coin purse guy, and to top it all off you have to shoot like 800 coins into the damn thing to get it to spit the moon out.
Yes it is neat. You are right.
100 jumps
Damn thing took me like an hour.Slimeman01 wrote: ↑6 years ago Ok, I just started the Hardest Odyssey level yesterday, and holy crap. That's all I'll say (mostly to keep it a secret from everybody). If anybody else has attempted this, they'll know exactly how I feel
the pokey bird section near the end. I already suck at controlling those things as it is, I had no idea how to handle flinging him off of swinging boards. As soon as I got past his section the first time I completed it. But that was the main blockage for me.
them taking a leaf out of Sonic's book for the insanely cheesy finale music.
It's pretty funny but I don't think they could get away with it a second time.

I think there was something else I was gonna say but it has escaped me.
I swear I was totally thinking the same thing the whole time. The corny music playing as a backing track to the finale felt so Sonic to me, it was really uncomfortable. I had a few issues with the ending. That was a big one, but also like, the way the Mario/Peach/Bowser relationship is presented at the end.
I always figured Peach was Mario's girlfriend. But the ending seemed to present their relationship like Mario and Bowser are both approaching trying to get Peach's returned love with different but equal methods. The fact that Bowser kidnapped Peach and traveled the world, ruining kingdoms 1 at a time and tries to literally force Peach to marry him is suddenly thrown out the window and Peach seemingly has no gratitude to Mario for saving her. I suppose it falls in line with Nintendo's more recent idea behind the Mario gang, that they're not real characters in their own universe, just like a gang of actors that do performances for each of the games. But it felt so wrong at the end when Mario and Bowser are both trying to give Peach flowers and she gets mad at both of them and then just about leaves them both behind stranded on the moon. Since when was being Mario such a thankless job? Has he been in the friend zone this entire time? Does Peach view Mario and Bowser exactly the same? I felt some sort of Mario blue-balls or something, I don't know.
I didn't get that impression from the ending at all.Ashan wrote: ↑6 years agoMata Hari wrote: ↑6 years ago I beat the game and dunno how to feel aboutthem taking a leaf out of Sonic's book for the insanely cheesy finale music.

"Peach seemingly has no gratitude to Mario for saving her".
Why? Just because she didn't kiss Mario on the nose like she usually does at the end of these games? I think because of absurd situation they were in at the time, it made more sense to go for a gag scene like that than a sweet "Thank you, Mario! *smooch*" scene.
It's not that she was mad at Mario and was gonna leave him there. Just that she had to take charge and bring Tiara and Cappy home to safety since Mario was acting like a goofball and started copying exactly what Bowser was doing. And obviously she knew Mario could easily jump up to the Odyssey as it was taking off, especially in the lowered moon gravity. There's no way she was thinking of taking off without him.
In fact, in the post-game kingdom revisits, Peach is completely over the whole thing and is still as happy to see Mario as ever whenever you run into her. I actually think this was the best characterization of Peach yet in a mainline Mario game.
Peach just got done being rescued, and here's Mr. Hero acting like a dope on the level of Bowser with how that scene played out. By the time she got on the ship, Mario (and Bowser since it's a game for everyone) was forgiven, but plumber boy came off in poor form there with how he was acting. You ain't entitled to anything, video game hero. I got a huge laugh at Mario consoling Bowser though. That was great. Ha-ha.
When someone has had a traumatic experience of kidnapping and forced marriage, what you don't do is declare your undying love immediately afterwards. That's just not a winning play.
There is also the fact that, as brave and loyal and talented as Mario is, he's also a weird little malformed runt who probably isn't all there mentally
This bugged me too for the exact same reasons! Why are Mario and Bowser just pals all of a sudden!? We saw him doing evil things! Suddenly the entire premise of the game is like "hah, yeah Bowser learned his lesson and we're still pals." I didn't run through a dozen or so kingdoms and travel to the moon to reason with Bowser and make up, I came to kick his face in and leave him stranded on the moon!
That damn bird section is the main blocker of that final stage. As soon as I got past it my first time I was able to finally finish. I just don't know how to control those things.
Also I don't even know what the UFO is there for. I always just ran past it, haha
Hah, yeah I have no idea why you'd need one that early.
Man some of those bonus moon levels are brutal as hell!
