After much anticipation, Super Mario Odyssey is out now for Nintendo Switch. It's the latest installment of Nintendo's tenured franchise starring the lovable Italian plumber. You once again control Mario as he works to rescue Princess Peach from Bowser. But this time around, he has the help of a new hat sidekick named Cappy, who he can throw at certain objects or enemies to temporarily possess them and use their unique abilities.

Seeds Are Sewn
In your travels, you'll occasionally encounter a seed that you can throw into a planting spot located somewhere in the kingdom. Successfully transporting it to a pot will cause a small sapling to sprout. If you leave and return sometime later, the plant will reveal a Power Moon.
Warp Paintings
Mario travels from kingdom to kingdom using his trusty airship, but it isn't the plumber's only means of voyaging between levels. Scattered across all the Kingdoms are warp paintings that instantly transport you back to a specific world without having to take your ship. While these paintings are a convenient way to revisit a previous kingdom, they also take you to a secret area where you can pick up a new Power Moon. Keep an eye out for these portals to other kingdoms; though, if you'd rather skip looking for them on your own, you can refer to our warp painting location guide.
Dorie The Gentle Sea Dragon
Dorie the gentle sea dragon returns in Super Mario Odyssey. First introduced in Super Mario 64, this aquatic ally can be seen swimming around both the Lake Kingdom and the Mushroom Kingdom wearing a flashy new top hat.
Coin-Coffer (Money Bags)
The Coin-Coffer, found in the Deep Woods section of the Forest Kingdom, marks the return of Money Bags from Super Mario 64. Where now you can toss a hat on one and become a Coin-Coffer yourself--we don't recommend it as you just spurt out all your hard-earned coins--his previous appearance was more straightforward, as an easy source of five coins in Mario 64's Snowman's Land.
Klepto The Vulture
Klepto was an enemy in Super Mario 64 that would grant you a star for catching up to him. He would also--much like in Super Mario Odyssey--take Mario's hat. The implications in the hat-obsessed Odyssey are greater, but it's good to see that Klepto hasn't changed all that much over the years.
Captain Toad: Time For Adventure!
Captain Toad makes several appearances in Super Mario Odyssey. This weighty backpack wearing adventurer was first introduced in a mini-game found in Super Mario 3D World, and eventually starred in his own spin-off, Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker. He can often be found hanging out around the hard-to-reach corners of a Kingdom, awaiting your arrival so he can give you a Power Moon he's collected on his own adventures.
Donkey Kong Street Names
As you explore the streets of New Donk City in the Metro Kingdom, you'll notice several street signs alluding to characters from the Donkey Kong series. Signage like "Diddy's Mart" and "Dixie Street" are direct references to Diddy Kong and Dixie Kong. There's even "Cranky" and "Krool" street signs, which clearly refer to Cranky Kong and King K. Rool.
Donkey Kong Level In The Metro Kingdom
During the music festival in New Donk City, you travel through various classic levels that tell the story about the city’s origins. The final area you traverse is a direct copy of level design seen in the original Donkey Kong.
Mushroom Kingdom
One of the final levels you explore in the game is none other than the famous Mushroom Kingdom. Its appearance in Super Mario Odyssey is heavily based on how it looked in the iconic N64 classic, Super Mario 64. But don't be fooled by the lush green hills and familiar-looking castle: the new Mushroom Kingdom is packed with activities, but isn't as extensive as the original from Mario 64, where it served as the hub world for the entire game.
