I’m close to finishing Super Mario Odyssey and was wondering which games are similar to it. Fun to play and no heavy story.
I have played or are currently also busy with;
- Mario Kart 8 (playing but finished everything).
- Super Mario Wonder (finished).
- Super Mario Bros. Deluxe (finished).
- Mario & Luigi brothership (did not like).
- Super Mario 3D World (Playing on/off).
- Breath Of The Wild (Playing).
I understand there’s also Tears of Kingdom but don’t want to play that one just yet. Might gift Switch 2 to a family member and I have heard it is now possible to have more than one save?
ETA: It is on Steam Deck through emulation. So other games outside of Nintendo is possible too.


I’ve heard that new Donkey Kong game is just Donkey Kong Mario Odyssey essentially.
In its general structure, yeah, it’s close. It definitely scratches the same itch for me.
On a more basic gameplay level, it’s a bit peculiar because it’s almost not a platform game in the traditional sense. There is very little jumping and a lot of climbing, digging and throwing stuff. But it’s fun, and there are cool moves to pull off in this one too.
The new Donkey Kong is only on Switch 2.
Yeah haha that’s why I said “I’ve heard” 😂
