I originally planned on going over the worst power moons in Super Mario Odyssey, but instead, I prefer to talk about similarities between Odyssey and the previous 3D Mario titles (as well as DK64).

Spoiler: Spolier! Don?t read if you haven?t played the game

Super Mario 64:

• Both games had similar elements around Peach?s castle, even though one was more of a homage to the other.
• Both games had missions involving opening treasure chests in a specific order.
• Both games don?t have a specific order of how you collect the stars or moons.

Super Mario Sunshine:

• Both games have an assistant character that not only helps you, but you also use as the primary mechanic of the game (Cappy and FLUDD).
• Both games have strange worlds surrounded by an abyss and focus on a specific skill (like the FLUDD-less stages and the hat door stages).
• Both games had background characters that were rather unusual for a Mario game and not seen in any earlier Mario game.

Super Mario Galaxy:

• Both games have a similar health meter and a separate water meter. There are three health units, and sometimes you can have a boost to six.
• Both games have note taking missions and mini-star (or mini-moon) missions.
• The collectibles in both games were used as fuel for a ship (Power Stars and Power Moons).

Super Mario Galaxy 2:

• Both games have an ultimate mission at the end (Grandmaster Galaxy and Darker Side of the Moon).
• Both games have a level that paid homage to Super Mario 64 and a level that paif homage to Super Mario Sunshine.
• Both games map all levels in a linear notation when you browse levels, rather than how it was done in previous games.

Super Mario 3D Land:

• Both were released within the first year of the console?s release, but not as the launch title.
• Both can be played on the go (since they are on a handheld system or hybrid system).
• Both games combine 2D and 3D gameplay (despite Odyssey being more retro).

Super Mario 3D World:

• Both games have a similar interface/HUD.
• When you collect a star or moon, you don?t return straight to the hub like you used to.
• Both have HD graphics.

Donkey Kong 64:

• Both games have excessive collecting (880 Power Moons and 1,000 purple coins in SMO, and 201 Golden Bananas, 3,500 bananas, and many other stuff in DK64).
• Both games reference the original Donkey Kong game in 1981.
• Both games have unlimited lives, which means you don?t have to worry about dying all the time.

What Super Mario Odyssey did differently:

• You can customize Mario?s outfit.
• There was no overall hub or main world.
• Unlocking the next level doesn?t require collecting a certain amount of overall Power Moons, but they do require collecting a certain amount of Power Moons in the current level.

I’m not giving up on donations.

I’ll pour another 500 TBT into donations. If you donate, your name will show up under “donors”.

EDIT: I’m still 41,000 TBT away.

I am returning donations I got for this group. I decided that I’m no longer going to accept donations to start a group and spend on one all myself.
