ArthurEngine — At least I don't think so

Description I see that Super Mario Odyssey has received critical acclaim after its release. Especially because of Cappy, Pauline's return, the Donkey Kong references in New Donk City, the unique concept of Power Moons, Mario's outfits, racing the Koopas, and Mario using Cappy to turn into anything, like an enemy (even Bowser). 

I will admit, I do like those aspects of the game. But do I enjoy it as much as everyone else? 

The honest answer is...... no. I didn't find this game that good. 

There are the following aspects of this game I didn't enjoy:
-Bowser kidnapping Peach to force her into marriage.
-Collecting Power Moons and Purple Coins can get tedious and repetitive.
-Peach was portrayed as more useless than ever. She could've used those fights between Mario and Bowser as an opportunity to escape, but no. 
-That awful ending of the game.
-Pauline's "Jump Up, Superstar" song, while it can be fun to listen to the first time, gets annoying after a while.
-Wasted opportunity for Super Luigi Odyssey. 
-Wasted opportunity for characters like Daisy, Rosalina, Wario, and modern Donkey Kong to appear. Even if Wario, Waluigi, and Diddy Kong were only costumes.
-Bowser Junior wasn't at the wedding.

This is pretty much the reason I'd rather play stuff like Mario Kart, or Mario sports games than mainstream games.

However, I'm going to go out on a limb and say that this game is better than Super Mario Sunshine and the New Super Mario Bros. series. 

Mario belongs to Nintendo.

I'm guessing your fav is either Galaxy, 64, or a spinoff game.

I felt like including him.

If I made my ending to Odyssey:

Bowser jumps in after them and engages them in battle but is defeated. Mario, Cappy, Peach, and Tiara are reunited but soon discover that the area they are in is collapsing. Mario uses Cappy to capture Bowser and escape, with all of them eventually returning to the moon. Mario attempts to gift Peach a wedding ring, thus it makes Peach happy. Bowser is however to weak to see this as he has met his defeat. Mario makes his official proposal to Peach and she accepts it. Cappy and Tiara cheer happily. The game would end with the game's characters (except for the defeat Bowser) watching Mario and Peach's wedding vows. Mario and Peach would officially share their first kiss and Mario would jump saying "Yah-Hoo!" and gives Peach a hug. Then Mario and Peach would leave the wedding happily as they board the Odyssey along with Cappy and Tiara. All of the characters would wave goodbye to them as the Odyssey ship takes off. A beautiful choir music is heard as Mario and Peach stare into each other's eyes, slowly lean in for one more kiss. Outside the Odyssey would read THE END in cursive, then the credits start rolling.

That's how my ending would go.

I wouldn't go as far as to say horrible. It was just mediocre at best, and poor at worst.

In Peach’s defence, regarding the ending, they were stuffing flowers in her face. She had to make a stand somehow. The question is, will she ever forgive Mario for his actions on that.

The fact that Junior wasn’t at the wedding was totally off! How could Bowser not let his own son come to his wedding?!

So, in a way, we should be ashamed of Mario.

The excuse of 'he's too young' better not be the case.

My main problem with the game was how small and secluded the worlds felt. Like, all the worlds were just floating islands, and they felt kind of congested. At least Mario Sunshine felt more vast and inter-connected.


I also wish the costumes served more purpose than just aesthetic reasons, like maybe they each came with a minigame or special ability to get certain Power Moons.
