* After the FinalBoss, Bowser's arena collapses, sending him, Mario and Peach falling to a lower area, and Bowser is effectively knocked out cold, his hat having fallen off. Princess Peach wonders what you're going to do. Mario's answer? He throws his cap onto Bowser's head. For the first time in a mainstream Mario game, '''''you are playing as Bowser himself!'''''

* Mario defeating the [[spoiler:Lord of Lightning, the gigantic dragon who presides over Crumbleden and looks like it came straight out of an ''Elder Scrolls'' title.

** The very fact that Bowser [[spoiler:managed to find, and tame, a giant dragon that rivals freaking '''[[Literature/TheHobbit SMAUG]]''' in awesome factor, and uses him as a frontline bodyguard against Mario]]. Say what you will about the Koopa King, but this, combined with getting only the best of accouterments for the wedding, shows that Bowser would go above and beyond for Peach's hand.
* When Mario and Cappy [[spoiler:finally catch up to Bowser mid-game, en route to New Donk City, [[ThrowingDownTheGauntlet Mario and Bowser have a staredown before mutually pulling off to the side at the Cloud Kingdom's Sky Arena to go at it]], all in an intense scene that oozes a badass feel of "let's take this outside".]]
* 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.]]
* Bowser's actually pretty clever in how he decides to go about things this time around. [[spoiler:Namely, Mario ''never actually stops him'' from raiding the kingdoms along the adventure to get what he's looking for, only showing up in time to chase him and the Broodals out from causing any more harm, and putting the kingdoms back in order...which, in turn, only keeps him two steps behind Bowser the entire way. Mario manages to corner the Koopa King before the finale a grand total of ''twice'', after which Bowser learns from his mistakes and employs his cannons, and later a gigantic dragon, to sink the Odyssey when Mario's gaining ground on him. Even in the end, while Peach rejected both of them, Bowser ''also'' did manage to ruin Mario's proposal to Peach - which means that in the end, Mario ''didn't ultimately win'' as much as it was a tie. Bowser may have lost Peach again, but in a sense, "defeated" Mario by rejecting him a true victory over him.]]

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.

* Before, Mario could ride a dinosaur. Now, he can ''be a Tyrannosaurus rex''. And as it turns out, [[spoiler:[[BreadEggsBreadedEggs he can be the aforementioned dinosaur]], too, once he returns to the Mushroom Kingdom]].



* The game's Metro Kingdom reveals that Pauline and Mario are still on ''very'' good terms. Not only are they AmicableExes, they're practically best friends, considering how well Pauline treats Mario when he arrives.

* Mario's absolutely insane movement range in this game deserves some serious praise. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pLl7lbbpjig As this video goes into]], it's possible to go through the entire game and get nearly every moon without needing to capture creatures for the moons like you're intended to. It's so good, some have even managed to beat [[spoiler:[=RoboBrood=] [[https://youtu.be/W3ZeBhFGGio?t=1h1m58s without needing to capture the bird like intended]].]]

* Peach's near-perpetual status as a DamselInDistress in the mainstream Mario games has bothered some gamers, as other titles in the series (including the ''Paper Mario'' games and even [[VideoGame/SuperPrincessPeach her own adventure]]) have made her into something of an ActionGirl who's more proactive than passive. [[spoiler: That's what makes her ending so incredible. After saving her, Mario looks as though he's going to propose himself after all these years. Then Bowser wakes up and, seeing what's about to happen, tries to pop the question before Mario can. The two men (well, man and Koopa) start shoving flowers in her face and demanding she choose. And what does the proper, demure, often-"girly" Princess Peach do? ''She pulls a ScrewThisImOuttaHere on them.'' That's right: Peach, the original video game princess, subverts the AndNowYouMustMarryMe trope: she just up and marches away, leaving the two stunned, and even starts revving up the Odyssey. It's such an amazing reaction to over thirty years of being kidnapped that you can't help but cheer for her.]]

She says "Let's go home." It's unlikely she was going to just leave Mario stuck on the Moon.

Jump Up, Super Star has nothing to do with Mario turning into a T-Rex, therefore this caption doesn’t work.

** 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.
