It’s Been Three Years Since We First Embarked On A Super Mario Odyssey

<p>When was the last time you went on a nice long trip? Thanks to one thing and another this year, it’s probably been quite a while, although it’s hard to believe that <em>three years</em> have now passed since we first grabbed our caps and went on a kingdom-hopping jaunt in <strong><a href="https://www.nintendolife.com/games/nintendo-switch/super_mario_odyssey">Super Mario Odyssey</a></strong>.</p>
<p>It is, however, entirely true: Nintendo UK even tweeted about it to remind us:</p>

<p>If that hypnotically looping gif above featuring the principal characters boogie-ing looks familiar, that’s because it’s adapted from a video put out to celebrate <a href="https://www.nintendolife.com/news/2018/10/nintendo_celebrates_the_first_anniversary_of_super_mario_odyssey">the game’s first anniversary</a> in 2018.</p>
<p>Looking back on the game, it’s perhaps a little odd that it never got any meaty DLC. Yes, it was periodically updated with <a href="https://www.nintendolife.com/news/2018/11/super_mario_odyssey_adds_two_new_outfits_to_celebrate_the_holiday_season">free costumes</a>, some <a href="https://www.nintendolife.com/news/2018/05/rumour_super_mario_odyssey_is_getting_some_snazzy_new_snapshot_filters">new snapshot filters</a>, and it got that nugget of <a href="https://www.nintendolife.com/news/2019/04/hands_on_super_mario_odyssey_vr_-_a_non-essential_but_pleasant_return_trip"><strong>Labo VR</strong> content</a> (not to mention <a href="https://www.nintendolife.com/news/2018/02/luigirs_balloon_world_is_now_available_in_super_mario_odyssey">Luigi’s Balloon World</a>), but of all the games that <em>do</em> get paid DLC, a new locale or two to explore is something we would definitely have coughed up for. So many memories!</p>

<p>Perhaps there’s something in that, though. Could Nintendo be channelling all those ideas into a straight sequel, <em>a-la</em> <strong><a href="https://www.nintendolife.com/games/wii/super_mario_galaxy_2">Super Mario Galaxy 2</a></strong>? After all, everyone could do with getting away from it all again — now more than ever, no?</p>
<p>We can but dream (and cross our fingers, legs and other limbs until we look quite silly). While we wait for Mario’s next adventure — one that we didn’t already enjoy on Wii U, that is — let’s raise a glass to his last truly epic journey.</p>
<p><em>Apologies for mentioning Galaxy 2 (we know <a href="https://www.nintendolife.com/news/2020/09/feature_so_what_happened_to_super_mario_galaxy_2">it still smarts</a>). Feel free to share your own memories from three years of Super Mario Odyssey — and your hopes for the future — below.</em></p>
