But what continues to place it squarely into what gamers will recognize as a platformer is that it all still centers around the jump.īeginning with Donkey Kong (1981), in which Mario’s name was simply “Jumpman,” the Mario franchise has been defined by the jump-jumping from platform to platform (hence the name of the genre) and on top of the enemies. If Mario 64 marks the transition from 2D to 3D games, Odyssey is Nintendo’s foray into the open world genre. Odyssey is no different, yet it would be shortsighted to see it as just a continuation of what Super Mario 64 began. Mario games always feel carefully and lovingly designed, facilitating a desired sense of “flow” and control. The franchise’s popularity depends both on brand recognition as well as unusually tight mechanics that are necessary for a good platformer experience. Mario games continue to successfully resist the hyperviolence of other console/PC games that make up the majority of games that have its level of success. Nintendo’s Mario games are some of the few in the industry that continue to garner widespread praise and blockbuster success, while still cultivating a cute and rather benign aesthetic. Nintendo’s most recent addition to their franchise, Super Mario Odyssey (2017) is, put simply, a nearly perfect game. Written by Byron Fong, University of Rochester
