Super Mario Odyssey is the 3D platformer Mario game equivalent of driving a Ferrari in a suburb. It is well polished, has an excellent array of movement, and a moving, dynamic camera that almost never fails in providing the best view. However, the worlds are mostly small and boring, but what’s even worse is how many moons are just filler. Moons that offer an interesting challenge to acquire are few and far between, and there are almost 1,000 moons in this game. Acquiring moons is the main goal of this game; the main gameplay loop is: go to a world, explore and collect moons, boss fight, leave once you have enough moons. So many moons, challenges, etc. feel like they are filler or are recycled content that make for an extremely bloated game. There are good ideas in this game with the hat possessions but they never get expanded upon and become difficult challenges. There are also sections that blend 2D and 3D platforming, which are great. For a game that offers such great platforming controls, it's a real disappointment that the vast majority of the game’s objective is just mind-numbing, tedious content and talking to NPC’s.
