The Best Level in Super Mario Odyssey

This single level is why Super Mario Odyssey should be Game of the Year

From the level "A Traditional Festival"

>When Peach has rejected you for 32 years but Pauline made a festival about you in the few seconds you were in the metro kingdom

This whole sequence feels like such a heartwarming tribute to the origins and success of Mario. It was beautiful to experience.

I love it when friends prepare a death trap in my honor.

Fun fact: when she's singing out oddysey she's actually doing her damsel in distress animation from Donkey Kong.

Best way ever to celebrate Mario's legacy. I couldn't help crying when I reached that point of the game. Absolutely mesmerizing. Thanks for uploading this.

It's funny how one of the citizens in the beginning says "jump man, jump" because jumpman was Mario's first name. Nice little Easter Egg.

I fully agree that this is hands down the best level of the entire game. I took my time on that level and I even let the song play a couple of more times before talking to Pauline to complete the level.

I literally had tears in my eyes while playing this level 😭

[BadGamingBros]

While playing this I kept telling myself, "Don't die, this part is easy, don't die and ruin the best part of the game..."

Suffice it to say I died 3 times

[schaefer]

This is by far the greatest "Thank You" level I've ever seen in any video game

Another reason why Super Mario Odyssey is my favorite game

Damn, she went some some pixel that no-one cared about, to our waifu

[josiahgarber]

I had a huge smile on my face the entire time I played this level. What a game!!

[cthulublade]

Is there a way to erase my memory so I can experience this for the first time again?

Turns out you dint need a shit ton of cinematics to make a good game just really good gameplay and a coherent story.

[CriticaHonesta]

0:01 "Wow, lady, you're *really* excited to see me, huh?"

[unicorntomboy]

I love the way this level seemlessly integrates both the 3D sections and the old traditional 2D sections all in such a slick and seemless way, especially with 2D sprites with a 3D CGI background. It is fantastic level design

[Fleis]

From some of her "moans" during her dialogue scenes, Pauline seems VERY happy to be there. Who else watching this in public had to turn the volume way down after the first 15 seconds for fear people nearby would think you were watching porn?

[goat_se]

This is certainly my favorite level in the entire game.

[xydis..]

So… Pauline went from stereotypical damsel in distress to becoming mayor of a large city and a celebrity

Meanwhile, Peach still remains princess of a kingdom where its only line of defense is a fat, Italian, now-former plumber…

I actually cried playing the first time I played this level. When I was a kid, my dad would always watch play Mario sunshine and we'd laugh about the game together. He passed away somewhere down the line, and this level and game reminded me of those days. Wish he could've seen this level; I know he would've been amazed too. This game brought out the kid in me and I thank Nintendo so much for continuing to bring out the children in all of us <3
