Forgive me if this doesn't deserve a new thread, but noticed this in another Mario thread and thought it was worth highlighting. Video in post is from VentureBeat.

is the one that alleviated every fear I had about this game. (This is a video of someone just playing through the Sand Kingdom as you or I might - no faffing around, no demo handholding - the player is simply playing through the level, and not badly at that.)
Looks and feels like a much faster paced Mario 64 in spirit and in gameplay. If you still have questions about how Mario Odyssey 'works', how it plays, how moons are found in the world and how levels change when you find the right moons, this is the video to watch.

I speedrun 3D Mario games and also got some time with Mario Odyssey.
I was able to test out most of Mario's movement options with the 10 minutes I spent playing the game.
This is the best 3D Mario has felt since Sunshine. Easily.
