I think Youtube spoiled 3D World's ending for me, so I just blocked half of website with adblocker (like every loving "Recommended" block). Really hope this doesn't happen with Odyssey...

Yeah, when people go "It's ALWAYS BOWSER!" I'm thinking like yeah BUT with 3D World it was this glorious beast of a Bowser.

Update on the following worlds in the game:

Kingdoms with 100 purple coins (i.e. big): Mushroom, Sand, Metro, Luncheon, Wooded, Seaside, Bowser
Kingdoms with 50 purple coins (i.e. mid-size): Moon, Snow, Lake, Cascade, Lost, Cap
Boss-level Kingdoms (no purple coins): Ruined, Cloud
Currently Unknown Kingdoms: At least one that is hidden behind a post-game moon lock, could be Delfino Isle because yoshi fruits from sunshine block things in Mushroom kingdom and Yoshi's house in Mushroom kingdom says he is out.

All kingdoms have varying moon counts. Mushroom kingdom has tons of moons given as "achievements" for doing various stuff in other worlds. Post-game, certain rocks get unlocked that then spread more moons across the previous worlds. Reminds me of green stars in galaxy.

yea for me it's not "OH MY GOD THE PLOT OF THIS MARIO GAME IS RUINED NOW" but just kinda "Mario sometimes does some pretty neat thing with boss designs and their big finale set-pieces and all, I'd like to be surprised by them because it's fun to go 'oh poo poo, that's a neat one'. I really doubt I'm gonna be shocked by the ending itself, but I'll be a bit bummed if it's like 3D land where the big showdown is something cool with a neat Bowser form and I see it early.

hell yeah lets talk spoilers because i dont know what else to do until friday. (or thursday if im lucky) hidden kingdom gotta be delfino, it was on the map in the advertisement, if its not hidden then its dlc. i haven't looked into the kingdoms other than the names but i am kinda bummed at two of them being boss levels kingdoms, are they big at least? i guess the 13-14 was about right after all.


huge outfits spoilers i saw a list on wiki, loving 8bit mario, 64 mario, wario and waluigi are you making GBS threads me, goddamn this game. they better not all be amiibo.

friend, i'll straight up tell you (no one read ending spoilers.. maybe) what i read states that peach straight up leaves bowser and mario squabbling and marries neither and fucks off back the mushroom kingdom. already seeing the usual people getting angry over "strong independent feminism in mah super mario" and other hilarious poo poo. some think its not the true ending tho and think there's another one based on moon count or something

anyway, don't let anyone spoil the final boss fight for you.

my friend brought his early/review/i'm not sure copy over to a house party my place threw last night and (outfit spoiler) 64 mario definitely isn't amiibo

also this game is loving awesome. i don't think i saw anything that isn't on youtube by now (at least from not what i remember, i was very drunk and high) but i can say it's fluid as hell and you feel less heavy than in the galaxy games and the amount of cool mechanics is so vast and ridiculous while still never deviating too much from feeling like classic mario gameplay. 5 DAYS IS TOO FAR AWAY

Yeah, same. With games like these, it’s not so much “the big twist is spoiled, game ruined”, but more “oh. That’s a really cool thing that I wish I got to go experience blind”. I’m still gonna enjoy it and whatever, but it’s nicer to experience things on your own terms rather than get spoiled on it because some jerk decided that everyone should know what it is days before release.

The same guy is streaming again. Apparently he's 25 moons away from unlocking the next post game Kingdom.

Spoiler about a cool post game thing: You also unlock more moons in each world after finishing the game. Sand Kingdom for example goes up to 80-something moons total.

This game is huge.

So my best bet for actually getting to play this via download when it launches is getting a key from amazon or something, right? I remember the eshop making GBS threads itself pretty bad with Splatoon 2 so god knows what this will do to the poor thing.

yea I think they've said everything the amiibos unlock is 100% gettable in-game, though I imagine it'll be a bit hard to get some fancier looks. Still, 'nothing REQUIRES amiibos' is a welcome report if true

Jesus hell, I was thinking it'd be 9-10 max. I'm so happy some worlds are pretty small, since I always prefered variety of levels over size.

Doesn't sound too outlandish if you just move on the second you have the minimum number of required moons, or however progression actually works.
