5 Actual Beginner Tips You May Need:
1. You can long jump straight into a roll by holding crouch throughout. You can also boost in a roll by tapping Y.
2. Spend purple coins on the cheaper costume first. There will be super moons locked until you get their costume, and you don't want to be stuck having to find the last purple coins of a stage just for that moon.
3. When you are low on health, you can touch super moons for full health even if you already got those moons before.
4. Beach costumes keep Mario cool in the heat, while warm costumes like the pilot suit keep him from shivering in the cold. Use them if you dislike seeing poor Mario suffer in his idle animation.
5. When you travel to another stage through a painting, how is Mario's ship already there when you arrive? Sorry. This isn't a tip. It just really befuddles me.

I just started playing this game last night and it puts the biggest smile on my face. The last Nintendo console I owned was Nintendo 64 so it's been a minute since I played Mario.

This and 3D World and Bowers Fury are my favorite all over 3D games of the Mario Franchise. Frustrating that I can’t platinum the games (100% them) however mee playing them 3 and 4 years later love them!

Can't wait! I'm buying my Switch and Odyssey on Monday!

This contains a lot of missinformation. -> Do not be afraid of using the parrots tips or the amibo tips for finding moons. There are no limits for maximum use!!

What it is however, you can only get 3 tips at a time. Just a regulation of load. When you got one of those moons, you can go to the parrot and amiibo robot and fill up your empty tip slot with a new one. And just continue that way.

Coins Rule Everything Around Mario (C.R.E.A.M.)... Haha, nice #WuTang reference. :-)

It's also been as long since We've seen Pauline, however, wasn't Mario's first or one of His first 34 years ago, in the arcade, on Mario Bros?
