4. Super Mario Odyssey
Super Mario Odyssey was easily one of the most anticipated titles coming to Nintendo Switch, and it’s lived up to the heights of its predecessors. The big change that Odyssey brings is the addition of a new friend for Mario, Cappy.
This sentient hat brings a new mechanic to the game by allowing you to throw him for collecting coins, damaging enemies, and a number of other things. You can also use Cappy to possess and “control” a number of enemies and items, allowing Mario to inhabit them and change up the gameplay.
This hat mechanic changes how you interact with the core elements of the series, and many of the puzzles are based on using the different things you can control. At the same time, Mario Odyssey introduces a number of new and imaginative worlds, like New Donk City, which strangely puts Mario, next to full-size humans. The combination of new mechanics and worlds, along with a jazzy soundtrack and some impressive visuals, make Odyssey a more than worthy entry in the series.
