* The landmass containing the Sand, Lake, and Wooded Kingdoms resembles Pangaea, while the landmass containing the Metro, Snow, Seaside, Luncheon, Ruined, and Bowser's Kingdoms resemble Laurasia and Gondwanaland, respectively.

** "I'm flipping the switch": Reference to the system the game was made for, the UsefulNotes/NintendoSwitch.

* The Metro Kingdom's existence explains a lot about the early ''Mario'' titles; if Mario's first outing was in what would later become New Donk City, then his other urban adventures ([[VideoGame/MarioBros fixing up the city sewer's pest problems]], [[VideoGame/WreckingCrew showing down a nasty foreman]], [[UsefulNotes/GameAndWatch packing bottles for delivery]], and all those further mishaps with a certain stubborn ape) can be traced back to his time living in the endless cityscape of this kingdom. It also surprisingly lines up with the old [=DiC=] cartoon lore; since warp pipes are shown to exist around town, it's entirely possible that the brothers "found the secret warp zone while working on the drain" and ended up getting teleported to the Mushroom Kingdom by accident.

** "Here we go": One of Mario's [[CatchPhrase Catch Phrases]], most notably whenever he collects a star or the different types of caps in Videogame/SuperMario64, reaffirming that Odyssey is returning to that gameplay style.

** No. Cookatiel had probably recently drank some of the lava (given [[LevelAte the rest of the Luncheon Kingdom]], it's probably drinkable as long as you can stand the heat), and Mario showed up to fight the bird before the lava had been digested enough to really change how it looked.

* Making a Goomba Tower is fun, right? Until you remember that the moment you jump onto these guys you basically hack their brain, forcing them to do your bidding, robbing them of their sense of self...

Added DiffLines:

* Cookatiel's vomit looks identical to the pink lava surrounding the kingdom that Mario can travel through by Capturing a lava bubble. Is Mario swimming in puke?

dewicking Nice Hat


* The villains each wear a NiceHat, which may look like an attempt to stay on-theme with the hat motif, but besides that, this is actually because ''Mario won't be able to Capture them this way'', forcing him to fight them without Cappy's ability, on fairer terms.

Added DiffLines:

** Pauline has a new outfit for her new role. The Fridge Brilliance kicks in when one considers that a dress is usually only for particularly formal events, whereas a suit is normal business attire (and high heels can go either way, since Pauline's new pantsuit is paired with her usual heels).


Added DiffLines:

** [[VideoGame/PaperMarioTheThousandYearDoor One of Luigi's crossdresser occasions even involved a wedding dress.]]
