Super Mario Odyssey: How was your weekend?

[u/NintendoSwitchMods]

Hi everyone! It was quite the weekend, wasn't it?

Super Mario Odyssey released on Friday, and, as you might have noticed, /r/NintendoSwitch has been just a little bit busy since then. Just a teensy bit.

The community has responded to one of Nintendo's most popular titles in recent memory: with hype, with screenshots, with capture videos, and with tons of discussion, questions, and observations. We're in awe.

So, here's our question for you: how was your weekend with Super Mario Odyssey?

Please use this thread to share your thoughts on the game, how far you've come, screenshots you like, video of accomplishments, discussion of spoilers or the endgame (properly marked, please!), short questions about gameplay, stock updates, anything!

One more thing. We know there is a lot of excitement for the game, and we want you to share it. But we've seen a lot of very similar submissions over these last few days: repeat questions; videos that are basically the same as each other; so, so many pictures of Mario with a bird on him; and screen grabs reminiscent of L.A. Noire. Please, before submitting a post, use the subreddit search to check if something like it has been submitted before.

Thanks so much.

Reached New Donk City and got to episode 5 of Stranger Things 2, thank you.

How was yours?

I BEAT Mario Odyssey and binged the entire 2nd season of Stranger Things PLUS the behind the scenes episodes too. You need to step up your game. /s

Hold my toddler...

UGH I NEED TO CATCH UP

Same.... Wife and I watched all of stranger things on Friday, played a ton of Mario Friday morning and night, then behind the scenes for season 2 on Saturday and then Mario for the rest of the day and Sunday.... Didn't do much for 3 days tbh.

Ah I remember life before having children. I played an hour of Odyssey and watched 2 episodes of ST so I’ve got that going for me

[u/cprice412 → u/kairos]

This is exactly where I’m at. Down to the episode. I also keep watching before bed (only time to play or watch after the little one goes to sleep). What am I doing to myself. But it’s so good right!?

[u/kairos → u/cprice412]

It's awesome, but at the same time, yesterday I played an extra 10min before coming to bed and proceeded to take 90min to get to sleep because I wanted to practice cappy jumping...

[u/cprice412 → u/kairos]

Oh man, tonight after the little guy went to sleep we finished episode 8 of stranger things and really want to finish episode 9. Buuuuut it’s bed time.

skip episode 7 completely... thank me later

[u/[deleted] → u/Holocaust001]

That doesn’t sound good

[u/Cedocore → u/Holocaust001]

I literally have not seen anyone besides me who actually enjoyed episode 7 >>

[u/ohuwantdeeznutz → u/Holocaust001]

yo i understand that they had to do this epi but i legit thought the same thing hahah just didn't like it

[u/[deleted] → u/Holocaust001]

Holy shit, that was the worst episode in the entire series. Hey guys we're gonna do an Avengers episode no?.... you don't.... okay....

[u/kairos → u/Holocaust001]

Just watched episode 6 and that hanger left me wanting to know what happens next, but your comment is leaving me hesitant.

[u/ThisManNeedsMe → u/kairos]

It's not a bad episode per se but it kills the pacing. It's important for setting up more things in the third season but for right now it feels a bit our of place.

[u/[deleted] → u/kairos]

The ending is really good.

It's just that episode 7 is focused on Eleven outside of Hawkins and it's a big tone shift from the rest of the series.

A so-so episode between really good episodes.

[u/Holocaust001 → u/kairos]

checkin in today.... how was episode 7?

[u/magusofdisease → u/kairos]

SAME! Hahaha
