Be Excellent To Each Other

This is a god damned masterpiece.

I hate you and all you stand for

It just keeps going as well. How far have you got so far?

Not far, I'm in Lake Kingdom, although I have enough moons to go to the next place. Mrs Doc is still in Sand Kingdom but she's unlocking more moons than I am.

What’s your beef?

I don't have a Switch yet.

I managed to break the Lake Kingdom a bit by not beating the boss before moving on (because I couldn't work out how to get to them). The game didn't seem to mind though and it all worked out ok.

I'm clearly just going to cave and buy a Switch shortly.

Good excuse to finally retire the old 720P telly as well, which despite over 10 years of heavy use, completely refuses to die or indeed go wrong in any way whatsoever.

I would call the switch-thread yet a 'mega thread'

But indeed, Mario odyssey is a masterpiece..

Apparently the umber 3 game of 2017, eurogamer said..

(just downloaded that edith game btw, which apparently is better)

I "completed" Mario Odyssey over Christmas. Or rather, I thought I had but once you've done the last boss it just unlocks a shitload of extra moons n stuff, so yay.

SPOILERS

I'm not sure "yay more content" counts as a spoiler

btw, have you all downloaded this http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/2018- ... io-bros-ds before nintendo takes it down?

It's a ROM hack (as opposed to a standalone like AM2R) so it's unlikely that Nintendo will issue a cease and desist. They also didn't take down Newer Super Mario Bros Wii which is by the same team. Then again, Nintendo being Nintendo, who knows for sure?

Yes! dlc with a balloon challenge! lets see if me can make some bezzie challenge out of it!

Tell you what, the music hasn’t been very good so far. I’ve done the first three worlds and I couldn’t hum a single song.

Just got 500 power moons and visited the kingdom.

Ha ha ha no.

It's not that bad.

That was my attitude too. Although I haven't done the one before it either yet.

Passed the 540 mark last night.

I've done the one before.

Yeah, I got told that the other day, I've just not gone back to it yet.

What follows it is worse

But at least it's not bastarding jump rope. (have I mentoned how very bad an idea that was?)

I think I'll move on to Zelda before doing the jump rope.

A wise choice. Zelda has no jump rope.

What's so hard about the jump rope?

balloons now available

For the 15 or so jumps required for the easy moon, not much. For the 100 jumps required for the hard one, which require very accurate timing for both start and length... Its just not fun and lasts forever.

I think my best is 50-something. MrPSB has 150 I think.

Yup. I got up to about 56 or so.

Its at that point, the timing is excessively tight,and the idea or doing twice as many as I've already done can go take a hike.

I'm aware there's a trick you can do to lock yourself in mid air and get however many you want, but not interested in that.

600!

46 on the jump rope, first try.

Can’t be arsed to do it again.

Crikey this game is amazing.

I had to stop playing it last night as Jnr said it was distracting her too much from building in Minecraft. 'It feels like I can't concentrate on Minecraft because I have to watch Mario'.

Pure videogame joy from the first screen onward.
