The game was developed by Nintendo's Entertainment Planning & Development division and began development soon after the release of Super Mario 3D World in 2013. The game supports multiplayer and virtual reality via a Nintendo Labo kit. After completing the main story mode, other post-game kingdoms are unlockable and an additional minigame, ' Luigi's Balloon World', is playable. Cappy's main function is the 'capture' ability, letting Mario possess enemies and other objects, helping him solve puzzles and progress in the game. In Odyssey, Mario explores various kingdoms and collects Power Moons hidden inside them, used as a source of fuel to power 'The Odyssey', an airship, to travel to new locations. In contrast to the linear gameplay of prior entries, the game returns to the primarily open-ended, 3D platform gameplay featured in Super Mario 64 and Super Mario Sunshine.

An entry in the Super Mario series, it follows Mario and his new ally Cappy-a sentient hat that allows Mario to control other characters and objects-as they journey across various kingdoms to save Princess Peach from his nemesis Bowser's plans of forced marriage.

Super Mario Odyssey is a 2017 platform game developed and published by Nintendo for the Nintendo Switch video game console.
