* And at the end of the game, [[spoiler:the setup to the final battle is just as epic. You reach the wedding hall to see the doors to the hall itself closed, and when you open them, Mario and Cappy stand proudly as they give a badass and determined DeathGlare towards Bowser. Then the camera dramatically zooms in on Bowser and Peach; the latter and Tiara look relieved to see their heroes arrive, while Bowser glares back in a half-angry, half-just-as-determined to end it. And then the "guests" Bowser abducted for the wedding all cheer you on as you approach Bowser.

** Finally, after all is said and done, [[spoiler:you get to take control of a Spark Pylon and go across a set of wires that spells "THANK YOU" before going to the final area. You take control of a frog once again and use it to scale a structure that greatly resembles New Donk City Hall, before exiting the Frog and climbing the tall spire to the top to get your last Multi-Moon: "Long Journey's End". All the while, [[SugarWiki/HeartwarmingMoments Cappy reminisces about the time you spent on this adventure]]...]]

As far as [[Franchise/SuperMarioBros Mario]] games go, ''Super Mario Odyssey'' may very well be the most ambitious Mario game yet, with plenty of awesome and memorable moments.

* The beginning of the game sets the tone, opening on Mario and Bowser throwing down in a cutscene, duking it out on his airship in the skies over the recently-abducted Peach's castle. Bowser wins by knocking Mario off the ship with his hat, then crushes Mario's hat as the ship propellers shred it to pieces.

Thank you, Mario.\\

** All this culminates in a near-perfect finale; the stage is set, the challenge is genuine, every skill you've learned is tested, everyone is counting on you, and the truest end is in sight. You've made it this far; you've seen and done so much, and now it's time for it all to come to a close. This really does feel like the game's way of saying "thanks for sticking around until the end". And what better way to show you've won, than to hear all those formerly cheering you on, now ''congratulating'' your success? You know, assuming [[spoiler:you took off the invisibility cap after the level's over]].

** Starting off with am optional mini-boss that gives you an extra three hit points if you beat it, followed by some nifty platforming across sinking platforms and poles, swinging across bars, and using a Lava Bubble to hop the rest of the way to the cannon to the next area.
** Capturing an Uproot and using its abilities to go further up, swimming across freezing cold water, then using [[spoiler:Yoshi's tongue]] to climb up the conveyor belts to the next location.
** Running across flowery roads where you can go off the beaten path and answer the Sphynx's last quiz, which he rewards you with a ton of coins if you get these questions right, as well as an extra three hit points if you don't have them already.
** Going through an obstacle course where you have to go without your cap, jumping across a series of protruding blocks.
** Possessing Glydon in what looks like a cross between ''VideoGame/SuperMarioGalaxy2's'' second Fluzzard level and ''VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaTheWindWaker's'' Flight Control Platform, gliding through whirlwinds and dodging Urban Stingbies as they try to blow up right in your face, before flinging across a few Volbonans to the next locale.
** Fighting off Burrbos on a single, slow-moving platform while potentially dodging shock wave upon shock wave.
** Using a Pokio to swing across wooden pendulums, potentially the trickiest part in the entire level, even ''after'' realizing [[spoiler:you can hook into the rock face]]!
** The final 8-bit level, where you have to dodge sporadically appearing barrels in order to reach and knock off Donkey Kong.
** And the last obstacle: [[spoiler:a romp through the last stretch as Bowser, clawing through rolling boulders and giant stone blockse, showing some true strategy in your former EleventhHourSuperpower as you reach tje gpa;]].

We've seen a bunch of different kingdoms...\\
