- I'm gonna use your dog against you, girl.
What?
- This is definitely not the Super Mario I know.
- ♪ (8-bit intro) ♪
- Super Mario Odyssey.
- Is this the new Super Mario one?
Oh my gosh!
- I've heard of it, but I've never played this one.
I've played some older versions of Mario.
- I've been wanting to play it forever.
I love Mario and this looks so different and random.
- (FBE) This is Super Mario Odyssey, the most recent Mario
platforming game. This game comes out
36 years after Mario's first video game appearance.
- 36 years? Wow, I'm [bleep] old.
- This time he is paired up with his sidekick hat, Cappy.
- He has a name now? I just thought it was a hat.
- We are ready on this odyssey and this journey.
- "In the skies above Peach's castle."
- I'm about to fight him? I'm so small!
- I like how in each game, his ship just gets more massive.
- Are we still trying to save Peach? This girl gets in the most trouble.
Always trying to save her.
- RIP Mario.
- Princess Peach, no!
- This is so dramatic. Oh no!
- How's this hat gonna help me now?
- Oh no, dude. Oh, the hat gods came through.
- That looks like a ghost with a hat.
- This is the super hat world.
- So his eyes look a lot like the ones that
was on the cover.
- "Sorry for running away like that. You startled me."
- "And to make matters worse, the fiend has kidnapped
my little sister."
Is that Bowser's hat? Well, he wasn't little.
Oh, a Peach version. Oh, her crown!
- "Unfortunately, all of our airships were wrecked
in the attack." You're a [bleep] ghost.
Just fly up there.
- "Although now that I think on it, I'm fairly certain there's
a functioning ship in the next kingdom over.
I could get us there, if only I could reach
the top of Top-Hat Tower."
- "It seems we're after the same thing.
Perhaps we should team up."
- It's a good look for him.
- Oh, wow. Ooh, okay.
That's hype. That's cool.
- Cappy is now your companion! Okay.
"Try throwing me with Y." Oh.
- Oh my God!
- It's kind of like web swinging in any Spiderman game
where it's just a fun game mechanic to do.
- Oh. Little flick the wrist action.
- Ooh, those-- ah, how do you get those?
Ooh, look at me figure stuff out!
- I love the background music, too. It's so cartoony, enchanting
and kind of ominous at the same time.
- Top-Hat Tower. Oh, I'm in there.
- Ah, what?
- "That ledge is awfully high, Hm, I know.
Try throwing me at a frog."
- Wow, I'm getting such strong Pokemon vibes.
- Oh, does the hat give you the powers--
oh, that's crazy!
- Am I becoming the frog?
- From the perspective of Mario, Cappy didn't tell him
this would happen. He was just throwing a hat
and he fell into another dimension.
- Ribbit. I'm a frog?
I'm a frog. (laughs)
- It gained a mustache.
- "You captured a frog." No, I am inhabiting a frog.
- "L Y to dash. B to jump."
Oh my lord.
- This is such a better version of the powerups.
- I really like controlling a frog.
It adds a whole new dimension to the game.
How do I get out of frog? Oh.
It's all discombobulated.
- Okay, going in here.
- Oh, look it. We're here now.
- "His long eared henchmen are still on the Top-Hat Tower."
Okay, I'll get 'em fam.
- I feel so fulfilled that I'm getting all these coins at once.
- Boss fight. Let's do this, bros.
- Oh, shit. Is everything hat themed?
- Oh, he's a big boy. Get away, get away, get away.
- Ah, I'm not sure. Ah, he's gonna kill me!
Ahh, okay. Oh, I need to kill his hats.
- Jump on him. What are you doing?
- Okay, stop, stop. Ah, okay.
- Oh no.
- I'm trying to jump on him. Did I do it?
- Ooh, hand him the L. Oh, that's a KO right there.
- What the [bleep]? So that's how you move
to the new world.
- I like that. That was a good intro
to the game.
- "Cascade Kingdom. Fossil Falls."
- This is so much better than a zipline.
Maybe not for him.
- "Our first power moon." Oh, I hate those things.
- "There should be an old airship somewhere around here.
Let's see if we can find it."
- For some reason, I feel like I'm in a
Jurassic Park world.
- Oh, that doesn't look good. I have to fight that, huh.
- Ahh!
- Oh, I went the wrong way. Got it.
- I've spent 20 years of my life watching that happen,
and now I get to do it.
- Gotta fling this guy into that. Now I have a super moon!
- Aw, you got a moon!
- Okay, we got a moon and what's new.
Cool, convenient, convenient bridge right there.
- That was pretty dope. "Multi moon atop the falls."
- Okay, I got this.
- "What a lucky break. This will come in handy
to power our airship. Have you ever seen
anything like it?"
- We made it. The hardest part of the game.
- Yes, wait, I need you.
Just in case I die fighting those guys over there.
- Oh, not again.
- Maybe the next one.
Oh no.
- Maybe I can just sneak around them.
Is that an option? Is that a dinosaur?
- Whoa, I was way too busy focusing on the birds.
Oh, there's a dinosaur!
- Wake up. - (T-rex roars)
- Oh my God.
- Oh my God. Okay, L Y to dash.
B to attack.
- Why am I a dinosaur? It's so cool!
- This is definitely not the Super Mario I know.
This is some weird shit. Wait, does he have
a [bleep] mustache?
- Oh, sorry. (gasps) I'm gonna fall!
- Okay, hmm. Stomp.
Wow, okay, so he just destroyed everything, cool.
Oh, is that an old school minigame in there?
That's cool.
- Wow, and it's got the [bleep] jump noise!
Nintendo throwing it back to the OG shit.
- Ah, see? You just get near it
and it kills you.
- (gasps) What? This is cool.
Whoo! We got a moon!
We got a moon.
- Oh, wow, okay. That's sick.
That's so sick. I'ma go comp this game.
I don't even play video games. This is tight.
- That's so cool.
- Oh look, it's the chick.
- Okay, looks like it's time to fight again.
- Oh, Jesus, hideousness.
- "It sounds to me like someone wants to be a snack
for my adorable Chain Chompkins." Why thank you.
I know I'm a snack, but you don't need to say it out loud.
- Oh, oh [bleep]. This is gonna be hard.
- All right. Ooh, oh no.
- Ah! Ah, bless.
- Hoo, and I'm guessing I have to do that three times
'cause three is the magic number?
- Ay, I feel like a matador.
- I'm gonna use your dog against you, girl.
What?
- Stop it. In yo face.
- There we go.
- Try me, lady. Try me.
Get away from me!
- She's threatening to spank me.
I am not a bad boy! I'm a good boy!
Just kidding. I'm a bad boy.
- Let's go. Boom, and I just caught
me three moons.
- You got a multi moon.
- (FBE) And that is all we're gonna have you play today.
- But I wanna play more.
- Oh, really? We don't get to actually
do the whole airship thing? Man, all this work for nothing.
- It's so cool! You can use the things
that normally kill you to help you win.
- I've never had the experience of buying a system
specifically because of a game before,
but I'm going to for this.
- Thanks for watching us play Super Mario Odyssey
on the React Channel.
- What game should we play next? Or maybe more Mario.
Let us know in the comments.
- Bye guys!
- Hey everybody, Derek here, one of the React Channel producers
and thanks to Super Mario Odyssey, the hardest thing to do
in this job now is keeping track of this Switch.
Everybody just keeps taking it. Stop it!
It's not yours!
