So what did you think of that one late-game song from Mario Odyssey(Spoilers)
- Thread starter Macca
- Start date
Games rarely delight me to the point of tears, but Odyssey pulled it off 3 times. Basically at the exact beginning, middle, and end points too.
I felt like it suddenly became a 3D sonic. I like it, but I forget about it and every time I remember it it feels like a false memory.
My first reaction and it was amazing.
This is why I've always loved Sonic more than Mario when they actually try, failures and all. You get wild moments like these. Live and Learn and Open Your Heart playing over their respective finales are some of my favorite moments in gaming.
I just played through this for the first time last night. I loved it because it gave a pop rock sensibility to an already stirring moment.
Definitely that Splatoon influence, isn't it? Feels like Nintendo has started to gain a "pop" sensibility for the first time, something that has really been the domain of Sega for decades.

Wasn't a fan. I don't like the lyrics of Jump Up Super Star either, but at least the actual music was catchy as hell.
It's cute, but it's no JUSS. Could have easily been a remix of a Sonic Colors song. Comes about as close as you can get without being one.

Legitimately may be my favourite videogame moment ever. Loved it.
Odyssey's handling of its story beats is super underrated in my eyes. Its pretty much the perfect mix of silliness and actual stakes.

It was absolutely fantastic, but nothing compares to the New Donk City festival sequence. THAT made me legitimately tear up.
It sounds like a cheap, knockoff anime intro song. I wasn't a fan at all. Didn't feel climactic, it just felt a bit jarring and out of nowhere. It certainly made the scene memorable, but it took away any sense of triumph from the ending too.
It's still better than Lifelight though, which is an absolutely awful vocal song that clearly wasn't ever meant to be a vocal song.
Jump Up Superstar is pure class all the way through though! (Though Fossil Falls/Main Theme is actually the true best song in the game!)

It really game me a Sonic Adventure 2 City Escape vibe. Plus using it for the the very end where Mario throws his cap at the camera *chef's kiss*
It's fine (if a bit weird in context), but anyone saying it's better than Jump Up is just straight up wrong. That's an instant Mario classic right there.
It wasn't great. Didn't seem to fit the content. But Odyssey is full of incongruous moments. I didn't find it offensive or anything but it didn't add to the scene. I don't understand the praise. I feel thoroughly on the outside of whatever scene it appeals to. It's like looking through the window at a furry convention. More power to you guys. I'm not going to hate. But I don't get it.
