The new trailer showcases quite a bit about the upcoming Mario game, including some in-depth looks at how Mario’s newest ally “Cappy” will allow Mario to “possess” enemies and even humans. The trailer also showcased quite a few different locations, as players will travel the globe in Super Mario Odyssey, as they try to catch Bowser and stop his plans to marry Princess Peach.

Nintendo also showcased around 30 minutes of gameplay from Super Mario Odyssey, in which fans were given a glimpse of the sandbox-like world that Mario will explore during his quest to save Peach from Bowser’s clutches. The world includes Mario’s take on iconic places like New York City, and other popular places in throughout the world.

One of the most important things for fans to take note of is the way that Cappy allows Mario to transform into other things, including things like taxi cabs, electrical currents, and even a life-size T-Rex. The game definitely appears to take a lot of inspiration from Super Mario 64, which also featured a large open-world environment for fans to explore and adventure through.

Super Mario Odyssey will arrive on Nintendo Switch this October 27, and fans can go ahead and preorder the game by heading over to the Nintendo website.
