"Super Mario Odyssey" is scheduled to launch on October 27 for the Nintendo Switch. Check out the latest trailer right here. It's full of madness:
15. You can play the game entirely by yourself in single-player mode, or you can play with a friend in co-op mode.
14. You can also play as this dinosaur.
13. Cappy is actually a ghost inhabiting a hat. Here he is in his natural form.
12. You can see night and day versions of each area.
11. The objective of the game is to explore the different areas and capture moons, which are hidden everywhere. It's not clear how many are in each area of the game, but Nintendo reps indicated it was quite a few.
10. There are incredible, throwback moments in the game where you slip into pixelated 2D scenes.
9. While Bowser is certainly up to no good, the game's main enemies are the devious wedding planners.
8. The game's plot revolves around Princess Peach being forced to marry Bowser — that jerk!
7. There are adorable outfits for Mario to don, and they give him different abilities.
6. "Super Mario Odyssey" feels like the culmination of the past 30 years of Mario games.
5. Being able to take over enemies means you can do stuff you've never been able to do in a Mario game before — like fly around as a Bullet Bill!
4. And he can use Cappy to straight up take over stuff, from inanimate objects to enemies!
3. Mario can do several things with Cappy. He can throw it as a weapon to hurt enemies. He can use it to help him jump higher...
2. The main gimmick in "Super Mario Odyssey" is Mario's hat. It's named "Cappy," and it's alive!
1. "Super Mario Odyssey" is a 3D, open-world game. It's the first such sandbox-style Mario title since 2002's "Super Mario Sunshine," which was made for the Nintendo GameCube
