First time I talked to toadette she gave me like 40 stars!

Honestly, one part of the postgame I find underappreciated is the Worlds themselves. It's great seeing all the stuff Bowser Stole being returned to each world and having residents from each world visiting ones outside of their homeworlds, and having Peach and Tiara visit them too.

Instant Joy: 1 - In Mushroom Kingdom, Cap-Ture Yoshi. 2 - Take Yoshi to the boom box and turn it on. 3 - De-Cap-Ture Yoshi. 4 - Position the camera where you'd like and leave Mario idle. 5 - BOOM! Mario AND Yoshi are DANCING!

Toadette is not only my favourite Mario character but also the line she says: “I hope you achieve all of your dreams” is so adorable

I just want a Isle Delfino DLC.

Ok where’s my 30 minute rant on how the Mario 64 costume is the best

After 3D All Stars, I appreciate all the more how Mario controls in Odyssey.

Yeah I got every moon. Loved it too. It was a magnificent experience Aside from volleyball

9:37 let's not go crazy here

Now I REALLY regret not having a Switch yet...

On the topic of the achievements... I wasnt too impressed with them, considering you will get them all just by going for 100% anyway. I don't ever recall actually ever looking at an objective from Toadette, and specifically going out my way to do them. I just got them without realizing. So it literally did not change the experience at all for me since I was already aiming to finish every kingdom 100%.

The endgame had me quadruple my play time easily. It was exactly what I wanted

You know how nice it is to boot up KZfaq and see Arlo has a new video out? Pretty nice.your positive outlook is always a welcome addition to my day, dude.

But where's the half hour analysis of the Mario 64 outfit and why it's objectively the best one in the game?

There are 3 words to sum up the darker side of the moon *Hell, Torture, Pain*

Everyone on Darker Side: *You can win, you feel great, YOU CAN DO THIS!*

I've never heard anyone talk about dance dance revolution mario mix, i had it and it was the shit, i really liked when you had a dance off with waluigi

my biggest issue with Odyssey...... not enough Luigi. There is never enough Luigi.

Good thing he put “(MARIO)” in the title otherwise Marvel fans might have something to say about his claim of “Best Endgame Ever”

The endgame feels like busywork to me

Maybe I'm insane, but I wanted more. Specifically, something between Mushroom Kingdom and Dark Side. The difficulty spike there was insane, most of the bosses in the Mushroom Kingdom were as difficult as the FIRST Broodal.

While the idea of achievements/goals was good, the implementation was pretty poor. Not only do you just naturally get them, but it takes forever to actually collect them. I sat there for over 10 minutes just mashing A, waiting for Toadette to stopping telling me I'd "gotten another achievement". I would have preferred challenges rather than achievements. Some you could get for free, but most would be something else, like doing a challenge without using the capture. Of course, if you get a bunch at once, there should be a condensed notification for it.

1:56 I’ve gotten so used to the Zelda BotW climbing mechanics, so when I saw that, I just though “Wait, how can Cat Mario do that!?”

Arlo singing dark side of the moon

I love the end stuff it kept the game alive for 3 times longer than it took me to beat the game, I beat the game with 400 Moons on Launch day! Then it took me 2 other days to 100% the game.

I love the amount of stuff in the endgame, but I just found the stuff in the dark and darker side of the moon to be just annoying rather than fairly challenging. Everything else about the game is fantastic though, except the jumproping, fuck that.

I just finished Odyssey and it Took me so long To finished the darker side of the moon. I was so happy when I did tho. I love Odyssey and its challenges. And yeah getting like 20 moons from Toadatte is so cool🔥👌🏾

"Up next on KZfaq, Joesph Anderson's 2 hour long video essay about all the bad moons in Mario Odyssey!" Bit of an odd choice there, KZfaq. To be clear on my opinion, I'm in the middle of these two viewpoints. I did get everything in Odyssey and enjoyed it 90% of the time, but I must admit that a lot of the moons are pretty filler. My favourite ones were always when I got some cool new platforming challenge to do, not so much the ones where I just pound the ground or something.

Butternut squash? Yes please!

But *grand* mario Classic cap+caveman shirt... Best costume

*Reads title* Avengers Endgame: ‘Hold my Mjölnir.’

I just got back odyssey after lending it to a friend for over two years. I have nearly 500 moons on my main account but instead of continuing that save file I decided to restart the game on a second account and will try to beat it before All stars 3D comes out. This game is just so amazing!!

Didn't expect DDR Mario Mix to be mentioned, but I loved that reference! It's a pretty fun Mario spinoff in my opinion.

I saw this video, I had not seen it yet, and I was like, "Oh boy, new Arlo stuff! _...Endgame!?_ Aw, man, I don't even have a switch yet, forget having beaten Odyssey already, and I don't want spoilers..." ...I watched the video anyway, and I hate myself and love the video at the same time.

Dude, you deserve more subscribers! This video was really, really good!!

So it's the best endgame ever...because you get more moons to collect...most in levels that you already beat. Uhh huh

"Shaking in my boots" Does Arlo wear shoes? Come to think of it, I've never seen his feet.

Butternut squash? Is anyone still doing this?

list of moons: exists me: well forget my plans! I got work to do twas a fun experience

I do like Mario Odyssey a lot, but I feel like the long, long path to getting every moon in the game is beyond tedious. Perhaps it's just me, but by the time I finished 100%ting New Donk City, I was so burned out and bored with Odyssey that I haven't played it for months. When you're scouring each kingdom for moons, it feels less like you're playing the game for a purpose and more like you're playing a grinding simulator (don't read too much into that). I'm also probably the only one who thought the game was better before the ending fight with Bowser. Then, in each kingdom, I felt like there was a reason to collect moons. I needed to power up the odyssey so I could chase after Bowser and save Peach. After that's done though, you just....kind of continue collecting moons because you want to. There's no reason to do so besides the fact that game wants you to. This is not me hating on Odyssey. I do like this game a lot. It's a fantastic game, and I'm grateful to Nintendo for putting so much effort in. But I simply found the endgame dull. I don't speak for anyone but myself. If you agree with anything I said, please respond below, beacuse I haven't met anyone else who agrees with me lol.

1 Weekend: Complete the story 2 Months: Still going

I honestly don't even consider it to be end-game when the "main game: is so short. Any end-game can be massive if the story is shortened so much.

Played it at launch. After messing with mushy kingdom I kind of moved on to another game. Glad to see there’s SO MUCH MORE to do. Thanks, Arlo.

At first I didn’t feel this way but before watching this, this year I finally realized what is the meaning of getting all the moons is about finishing the story/game u loved playing and watching I’m glad you feel the same way

I loved odyssey personally and all the moons in it but the coin grind for getting all the needed moons and costumes for 100% was sooooo loooong. That was my least favorite part of the entire game but I am still glad to have 100% done

i think the extra moons are sort of just chores. i needed more levels or challenges. the balloon one sounds awesome

I honestly never thought the post game content of Super Mario Odyssey would be so... Amazing. The fact that the moon rock breathe a bit more longevity into each kingdom as well the two bonus moon areas after Mushroom Kingdom pretty much makes the game harder to put down! Plus the addition of achieving feats results in more moons from Toadette is the most exciting thing of all! Oh, and the Mushroom Kingdom? I love how it is depicted in this game! None of that New Super Mario Bros stuff, just pure rolling grassy hills in the background!

This is one of my favorite Arlo videos. He just sounds so happy!

Can we take a moment to appreciate how Arlo syncs his voice with a puppet Unless Arlo is not a puppet but really looks like one

I never thought that I’d watch Cookie Monster talking about Super Mario Odyssey but ok

I was actually sad when I got through the darker side. The sense of discovery in this game brought back a sense of wonder and joy I had not had in a long time. Getting that last moon was bittersweet. It was kind of like I had to return to the normal world after being in Disneyland. Luckily I found A Hat in Time shortly after. 2017 was the best year in games for me it started with Nier and Horizon and just kept piling great things on. Now my backlog is so big it will likely take me all of 2018 to catch up.

Awww... I was really looking forward to the 30 min. analysis about why the Mario 64 costume was the best. lol Great video.

Given the rabbits, my go-to Dark Side joke was "Run, rabbit, run. Dig that hole, forget the sun."

It was insanely addictive, I've already 100 percented my first file and I wanted to play more after I'd finished, so I started a second file which I'm already 200 moons into!

I watched the review and was hoping there’d be an end game video just earlier today! Great video

I can't stand how cute this idea is of what you do with puppetry your videos. I'm legitimately a fan now of all your videos. And I'm really picky and I really want a plushie of you! Lol

I eventually had to quit when I went back to campus- it’s my brother’s Switch, you see.

I got 100% on this game in about 50 hours or so. First Mario game to 100% and I enjoyed every minute of it. All 999 moons, all the purple coins, all the outfits, every capturable creature, every playable soundtrack. There's literally nothing left for me to collect in the game, and that completion reward is oh-so satisfying.

That last Bound Bowl ALMOST broke my spirit. What made me give up were the jump rope and volleyball 100-point challenges, the "KEEP" hint art, and the "ring of pillars" hint art.

I just got my 999th moon last night, can wholeheartedly say it's my favourite mario game and definitely up there with one of my favourite games ever. Really felt like they gave it their all with this one

Hey! This video came out a day before my birthday! Happy birthday to me! Thanks Arlo.

Bound Bowl and Jump Rope Genius helped me realize that I'll be perfectly happy to settle for ~995 moons on any future playthroughs.

Ironic how a puppet holds the most honest, analytical and personality-packed gaming content channel I've seen in a long time.

For some reason I found myself getting really into the timed trials, like bound bowl. I kept wanting to just get a LITTLE faster, by the time I called it quits I think I was in the top 5000, which may not seem like that big a deal, but I'm proud of it.

Somebody who likes the achievement list. :> I don't care if the achievement is for something you already have to do, that the game acknowledges I'm doing it is much appreciated~

I must say that I completely disagree with you about Toadette being one of the best parts of the end game. I feel moons have no value once Toadette is giving you moons for GETTING moons. And there is no way to skip through all of the moon jingles! The moon rocks had great potential; they could of ramped up the difficulty sooooooooooo much! But instead, it was mostly busy work. They even SHOW you where the moons are on the map, which ruins the part of mario oddesy about EXPLORING.

Ending this with the best Rainbow Road track ever? You are a man of taste!

Isle Delfino DLC - adds Isle Delfino. You need 999 moons to get there, and it has the 1,000th moon. Once you collect the 1,000th moon, you get a copy of Super Mario Sunshine that you can run in a hidden GameCube Virtual Console.

Getting moons in oddessy for me feel like a chore tho

Huh, I thought the lacking endgame was actually one of the worst things about it, I loved the main game but it was rather short, when I got to the end it felt like it should've been twice as long, but I didn't really mind cuz I figured the second half of the game would be the post game, but it wasn't, you got one extra world with Peach's kingdom and 2 bonus-challenge worlds with the dark and darker sides of the moon but those didn't really interest me so it was pretty much just that one world, and exploring all the worlds again when I had already done that once felt boring, I wanted new worlds to explore, Galaxy 2 still has my favourite postgame easily even though that's also re-exploring old worlds, but that's cuz the game at large is of a more straightforward nature, so when the postgame added in a bunch of exploration which was missing from the main game I was stoked, but in Oddesy I already had my fill of exploring each world once, exploring them all again just felt like busy work, overall this is still my favourite 3D Mario game but it's definitely too short and either needed a longer main game, a longer post game, or both. Or it could've just costed 40 bucks instead of 60, then I wouldn't have minded the shorter length.

I like it ( I will post a video with more details at sime point in the near future ) . Also Arlo . Keep up the awesome work . I will go rewatch all your videos , When i have spare time .

Exactly how I feel Arlo, just 100% the other week, one of my favorite games of all time 😍

This may sound wired but I didnt like mario odyssey I liked the road up to endgame but after that it just felt like running around aimlessly trying to find the rest of the moons

The post game fan service was incredible. So many great moves by Nintendo!

another good thing is the online leaderboards, keeping me interested in grinding my time down as much as possible

When I got to the Mushroom Kingdom and saw the desert, mountains and fields out in the distance I couldn’t help but get the same feeling I got when I first started playing Breath of the Wild. Kinda made me wish all of that unseen part of Mario’s world was explorable.

A+ video for Pink Floyd alone

I feel this video encapsulates everything that Joseph Anderson missed in his video.

Arlo! Please make more stuff! I can't get enough of your videos! Love you man! (I don't have much money, but I thinking about funding you on patreon)

Well, it’s been 2 years and I finally 100%ish the game! I loved almost every second of playing, and that ending almost brought me to tears... we need odyssey 2, there are so many places on the map that i just didn’t realize were there that we could explore!!!!

*!ESALEP SEY* ?hsauqS tunrettuB read it backwards, you little blue-things! *-insert arlo's metroid prime screaming here-*

My brother broke the cap for the moon counter to the left of the screen with paintings....... he’s the best in our family

That last bound bowl did break my soul thanks for asking

that subtle video psychology lol, ending the video with n64 rainbow road for that nostalgia factor while comparing odyssey to past games lol

The award for getting all the moons in Odyssey is arguably a worse reward than getting all the stars in Galaxy

my body is ready

The Mario Odyssey endgame reminded me of one other endgame I ever played. Spiderman 2 for the Playstation 2. They both give you a ton of stuff to do after you finish the story so it feels like you can play it for hours and hours on end after finishing the story. It makes the game worth the money you put out for it, and you still have the joy of playing!

Gosh yes I’ve gotten almost every single moon and I just have to talk to toadette and pick up the last 40 stars but I’ve gotten them all. Toadette’s achievements were definitely a good reward because I got extra stars for playing the rest of the game and completing everything else like the purple coins. Heck you get extra stars for jumping and throwing Cappy.

I was enjoying a different video then i got the notification for this video. Me "forget this crap its arlo time"

8:01 „there is no grinding here“ ...wat? Some of the achievement moons are literally „jump X number of times“ or „collect X number of coins“. I mean yes some of those you‘ll get naturally by just playing the game but I‘d say some do require quite a bit of grinding to get!

I had no idea there was so much more in this game. I haven't competed it yet either. This makes me wanna pick it back up.

What I liked specifically about the post game of Odyssey is how relaxed it was. Peach is going on a trip around the world and you can follow her if you want collecting a good handful of the new moons as you pass by. All the citizens of the different lands going around on their own vacation having fun and just enjoying the sites... it's truly a remarkable experience.

I really loved Odyssey, but I think the cube moons were a big missed opportunity. There were a few challenging ones, but most of them were on the same caliber of difficulty as the normal game's moons. This is especially true because they're already all marked out on your map. I'm okay with Nintendo making the main game easy for the kids, but I feel like end-game content like this should be more of a challenge. To get to this point, you must already be good enough to beat the final level/bowser, so why not make the new moons at least that difficult? Even if some people struggle here, it's not like you'd miss out on much by not getting all the moons. And I have to totally disagree about the toadette achievements. That was probably the most blatant padding in the whole game. If you plan on 100%ing the game (like I was), then you'd be doing all of those achievements anyway. And if you're not planning on 100%ing, then why would you even care about getting those things listed? Most of them I had already achieved by that point in the game without even knowing it. And then the icing on the cake is that you have to talk to toadette for each and every one-it's just a big waste of time.

Whoa Arlo that thumbnail is a huge spoiler!

My favorite part of the endgame was running around each kingdom to find Peach. I loved that she went on her own little trip and even got some of her own unique outfits from it.

Mario Odyssey became my favorite game of all the time. I've already decided to 100% it again

Wait, is it just me or is Arlo a blue furry monster thing?

As much as I loved this game, I only have 55 hours in it. I liked Zelda more, and got about 450 hours out of it.

I agree completely with u said. The final bound almost did break me. I am at 973 moons and enjoyed everyone

I wish there was another Kingdom though. It would have been amazing to visit Rosalina's Observatory or Isle Deflino.
