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.

astrobot!!! as much as I love mario and nintendo I gotta say I might like it even more than odyssey.
if you’re just on switch tho splatoon 3 might be perfect, it’s not only a platformer ofc but the freedom in movement and the level design are great
Apologies, forgot to mention it is on the Steam Deck through emulation. I’ll look into Astrobot (got a PS5). I have tried Splatoon 3 but was not sure what the goal of the game was.
While there are different game modes, the gist of the Splatoon games is to cover the arena with as much of your team’s ink as possible. Most of the mechanics involve spreading or interacting with your ink. Since you mentioned emulation, I guess you only have access to the single player campaign, so just follow what the NPCs tell you.
@ModernRisk
don’t really know if you’re able to play online with emulation, but with splatoon I recommend just going with the single player story until you figure it out. I don’t remember it having much of a learning curve to start it.
there’s a bunch of platformers I think are better than odyssey but are 2d, Celeste, Donkey Kong tropical freeze, both of the ori games
tho since you’re able to play peakbot!!!
