I also asked about that shirt the moment I saw Miyamoto on Fallon

Hope it becomes available somewhere soon.

Mario and the racist stereotypes

Sadly people will say that. I can see a Mario game where they celebrate culture around the world but then a lot of people will get offended.

I think it is a possibility, but we have to think what would a Samurai Mario be able to do, that normal Mario wouldn't?

If it is a power up, it needs to bring some gameplay element to the table.

Wall running Ryu style.

 

[Living the Dream]

I need that damn shirt. It's all I can think about

 

[Chairhome]

Just so you can see, the shirt does say "Super Mario Run" on it.

But Punchout was amazing and I hope samurai/ninja Mario is real.

Koei Tecmo has expressed interest in making a Mario Warriors game.

A Mushroom Kingdom Warriors would be insane lol

 

[Zubz]

I dig the theory.

Maybe Bowser tries to take over Mario's world (the real world) this time around.

Or not. Still an interesting idea either way.

Wasn't that an episode of one of the cartoons?

 

[DoubleYou]

Leave it up to Mario to reunite the world.
Could be great if done well.

I found the full art on Twitter.

 

[BowieZ]

Yeah there's no way that's not a power-up suit in SMWS.

 

[inner-G]

I found the full art on Twitter.

Country-themed level packs would be cool

 

[Inspectah_Deck]

That's one awesome artwork, wow.

 

[oti]

I found the full art on Twitter.

That looks super cool.

A reminder that Bill is a troll at times

 

[Piers]

Time to close up

 

[samn]

It worked for Crash Bandicoot 3, so why not?

 

[KooopaKid]

Well the globe-trotting part was a good guess but each world isn't based on real locations.
I prefer the direction Super Mario Odyssey is taking, allows for more creativity.

As an aside, the cap power-up seems to be the best, fun and usefull Mario power-up since Cloud Mario.

I found the full art on Twitter.

Has anybody seen this art on any official Nintendo pages?

 

[zoukka]

Nintendo is never this clever. Remember the Metroid pin on reggies jacket? People hyped themselves up for a new Metroid Prime for the Wii U lol.

 

[SinCityAssassin]

Has anybody seen this art on any official Nintendo pages?

It's promotional wallpaper.

Kinda just realising that Super Mario Odyssey is the full realisation of the cancelled CD-i Super Mario World sequel that was set in locations inspired by the real world.

 

[Raide]

I get the weird feeling that Odyssey will be the new Mario "world" where he travels around a real world inspired place and stamps on turtles.

 

[tali'zorah84]

Also, lol: I just checked the Wiki listing for the cancelled CD-i game and it's weirdly detailed as if it was written by the devs themselves.

"Developers Silas Warner and John Brooks were drafted as the game's designers, and worked 24 hours a day for two weeks on the game, finishing only a part of one level to present to Nintendo. Their meeting with the Nintendo developers came at 8:00 AM on a Friday morning, and they had their short part of the game on a disc four hours before this."
