30 Things that Don't make Sense in Mario Odyssey

Part 2 is Out Now! https://youtu.be/RAx-cFJAtFQ

You see, mario can breath perfectly fine in space beacause there is no water in space which would prevent him from breathing

Also the interior of New Donk City Hall makes no sense structurally. It's just a hollow shell with no stairs or elevators; the only way up is through a few scant platforms and poles. Glad I don't work there. And no, this is not some wacky castle that Bowser built, this is an office building built for the people of New Donk City.

If I remember correctly, the map in Cloud Kingdom has a reason for the standing on clouds thing. They were some sort of different material I think.

The shadow below Mario is probably just to help with 3D perception. I think it debuted in Mario 64 when 3D hit

At #17, there are 2 possibilities: The locals could utilize the warp paintings if they're in a kingdom that has one, or they could ride in/borrow from the kingdoms that do (like the Toad Brigade's shop ship or the airships in Cap Kingdom). (Also applies to Hint Toad, Peach, Luigi, etc.)

3:42 don’t worry him breathing in this IMPOSSIBLE place to breath in area carries over to the two Mario Kart 8 games where where every character breathes under water

About the bunny situation in Mario Odyssey, Undertale can relate. There's this one bunny in Undertale that has a normal-looking bunny on a leash by them, that the not normal bunny claims is related to them. One is a bunny "monster", while one bunny that's hooked onto a leash just looks like a normal bunny

Yoshiaki Koizumi (producer) said that Toad's mushroom is his head. The cartoons are not canon (as much as there is a Mario "canon"). Or maybe Toad just ripped part of his head off.

What's more impressive is that developers wanted you to fly through the balloon because you can see actual structure like metal.

About double shadows, that's actually possible on certain lighting situations. Like, in the gym at the school I used to go to, due to how many lights and their placements in there, I casted two shadows while inside it. I don't think though, that the same situation can be applied to Mario Odyssey, so, you're correct it makes no sense

My full list of rebuttals for these: 1. The supports are supposed to be floating, because they are connected to the bridge, and are simply for decoration 2. The land on the other side was removed 3. The water isn’t deep enough 4. The odyssey is simply a universal being, that appears everywhere 5. The residents of Cap Kingdom are ghosts, because they died, so the ship was built before + Bowser destroyed the kingdom 6. Local currency is rarer, and they opened the shop before everyone disappeared(?) 7. Same reason you need money to pay for gas 8. My guess is that the odyssey only needs power for places it’s never been to, and the fastest route back is simply to take the route before, therefore saving energy; ALTERNATIVELY, the energy the moons created are built for different kingdom travelling 9. Toads’ ears are microscopicly small, like bugs, and the TV show is non-canon 10. The broodals broke the doors, duh 11. He has natural resistance to the space 12. The doorways to exit is really long, like the entrance to bring you back up 13. Peach is OP 14. Yoshi is tired of being ridden on also he can respawn indefinitely 15. Different materials 16/17/18. Again, the NDC’s roads are unfinished/were destroyed and yes the residents are stuck 19. Natural destruction, duh and the wires between kingdoms are to connect electricity 20.DIFFERENT SPECIES 21. The rooms were closed down 22. The question mark thing has magic 23. Invisible wires 24. Double shadows are due to lighting 25. Double shadows here are normal 26. The balloon is either a projection or it’s less dense enough to be passed through 27. Clouds blocking the bottom 28. SPECIES, THEY EXIST and Yoshi has always been able to eat mushrooms 29. There are multiple Luigis and Peaches 30. The motorcycle is made of a different material, and so are the gates

4:18 dragon was brainwashed by bowser dragon good boy

For the needing moons to go to next kingdom ones, I believe that is the amount of fuel needed to discover the a new kingdom and map a route to go to it, that is why when you preview a kingdom through a painting, the Odyssey isn't there, because the location and the route to the kingdom isn't registered yet.

Here’s my ideas for why this stuff is in the game 1: The support is for decoration and has spikes to look edgy 2: The doors are simply for decoration and cant open 3: Maybe Mario only feels pain if his head feels it? Idk about this one 4: Odyssey has a autopilot mode that isn’t mentioned? 5: The chairs are for decoration or visitors that aren’t Bonnetons 6: Tourism 7: Moons are like gas, it costs money because it’s an energy source 8: The more moons you collect, the more power you have, so maybe some areas are farther away but since the last time you visited you collected so many moons that it isn’t a problem 9: The 2 spots on each side of his head are ears 10: The Wooded Kingdom has a opening for tourists, the Broodals broke in some how or bypassed security 11: Maybe this moon is diffrent from ours so it uses breathable oxygen 12: The cave is made differently so the gravity is different? 13: Peach likes to take risks 14: Mario never cared about Yoshi 15: Some platforms are made to look like clouds to blend in 16: Not sure about this one actually 17: The residents are just stuck or there is a transportation system such as flying taxi’s 18: They use the flying taxi’s OR the people live there lol 19: Internet?… 20: The Broodals are Mutated rabbits made by Bowser 21: Some doors are hidden so random people don’t go in 22: Cappy is too lazy to capture certain things 23: Invisible wires to make them less obvious 24: Mario is so chubby he leaves a shadow in shadows 25: The goombas feet make shadows?? 26: The odyssey is cheaply made 27: Floating Islands 28: Those are poisonous mushrooms 29: They secretly follow Mario around or they are illusions 30: They’re just cheap dumb scooters I have no idea why I made this comment these are just my assumptions. By the way, great video Infinite!

2:25 To be fair: Not all Toads are residents of the Mushroom Kingdom. And even if they are, they probably don't care too much because they have to be very adept at self-government by now...

3:08 I never wanna see this again

3:00 the tv show is NOT cannon to the mario universe that this game takes place

4:07 the moon ain’t a planet bro

1:13 2:33 5:10 5:26 6:29 7:31 9:44 It makes the game function 4:25 Bowser controlled him throu the thing on his head that you break in the fight The dragon is NOT a minion
