When Peach is kidnapped by Bowser yet again, Mario and his new hat-shaped companion Cappy set off in pursuit aboard the airship Odyssey. Weaving theatrical set-pieces together with pure skill-based challenges, moving from the stripped-back introduction to the absolutely incredible final encounter that perfectly encapsulates the blend of old and new in a sort of playable music video, this is the free-form Mario fans have been asking for but it's also the same 2017 brand of Nintendo that completely reinvented Zelda earlier this year.
Captured creates and objects immediately get a mustache and hat, which never gets old.
