Also mushroom island being so small may be because is an island with a pipe portal to the mushroom kingdom that is an alternative earth with the real mushroom kingdom, yoshi island, donkey kong country, sarasaland....
Not saying they will appear in the game (pretty sure if something appears by travelling there would be peach's castle only, or some retro 64 courses), but being a pipe thats placed in that island and lets you get into the mushroom kingdom planet makes sense from a koizumi type of lore that he is trying to do here.
I bet you that won't happen.I'm still expecting the red bit to be a cover up for an upcoming Direct reveal. It just looks too out of place and there's a tiny bit under the underwater screenshot that wouldn't make sense being there. Now that the boxart's changed due to an official reveal I think it's much, much more likely.
That would be cool and make sense, considering what we know of the Mushroom Kingdom's layout means it's way fucking bigger than that little island. I'm sure it'll be handwaved and stuff but if Nintendo actually cared about that kind of thing when it comes to Mario games, the Mushroom Kingdom and its surrounding kingdoms would need their own globe. Where is Dinosaur Island in the Odyssey map? The place where Bowser rules? Delphino Island? The sister kingdoms that the Mario & Luigi and Paper Mario games take place in? That can't possibly all fit on that little mushroom.
wait they actually removed mariachi mario? Are you fucking kidding me?
I love this style of art.NEW KINGDOM CONFIRMED
This officially confirms that the Cascade Kingdom (Dinosaur) is separate from the underwater Cheep Cheep Kingdom. This is because the pink moon shown in the photo is not yellow like the ones in the Cascade kingdom. That means so far there are 7 CONFIRMED KINGDOMS in the game
The Japanese tweet says nothing about that wallpaper showcasing a new world. It just says that you can use these pictures for wallpaper. The art may be new, but snorkel Mario was in last year's Club Nintendo calendar.
I now badly want pumpkin Mario.
[edit] Though it does seem like a snorkel Mario is in the game. Still, the tweet says nothing about that picture showing a new world.
Nintendo. Stop revealing more kingdoms. We already know enough!!
We are already sold on the game.
Do you think there'll be over 6 kingdoms at least?
I knew that thread would be a disaster lol
But how does someone breath underwater with a snorkel meant for....
Actually maybe I shouldn't question it.
The only thing that worries me a bit is that all gameplay they've shown so far - and I mean 100% of it - looks ridiculously unchallening. Those 2D sections, for example, look really cool, but they also look easier than 1-1. But maybe that's how it was when they were showing off Galaxy as well, don't remember. And that game does have some challenge, even if "beating" the game is easy as shit. So yeah, I hope they're just showing off the simplest stuff for now, and there's some actual challenge somewhere in there.
This is every mario game . Everything they show is early and looks super easy, then we find out theres a secret kingdom thats harder than any mario game before
Just starting to listen to 8-4 Play, and the Odyssey theme song - I finally work out what's been ringing bells with me: It absolutely wouldn't feel out of place in a Katamari game. And I intend that as a complement!

goddamnit Mario that's not how you use a snorkel
If for some reason things don't work out, they can always Switch to Chavo Mario instead.Man I hope they didn't censor that shit. Was a great design.
Did anything ever come out of that blank space on the Japanese direct page?I feel like a direct is coming soon, don't ask me why though.

I agree.
This article seems to say otherwise though.

More confirmation that this underwater kingdom is its own thing and this is probably the final nail in the coffin confirming it. Super Mario Odyssey has had it's box art changed, they have removed Sombrero Mario and replaced it with the snorkeling Mario. Considering that all the photos on the box art are from separate Kingdoms this is practically 100% confirmation of the underwater kingdom. I got this news from GoNintendo.

Eh, it problably is its own Kingdom, but using the boxart as confirmation by that logic Sand Kingdom has been removed from the game or the underwarter place is in Sand Kingdom.
I imagine the red part at the bottom will be filled in with more pictures. Room for Sand Kingdom and 2 others.

NEW KINGDOM CONFIRMED

sell me an art book full of art that looks like that please
I feel like a direct is coming soon, don't ask me why though.
If we see a direct in the next few weeks, it will most certainly focus on Mario + Rabbids.
I hope that the difficulty won't be like in 3D World and Captain Toad, where it went from 0 to 100 after you completed the game. That's just wrong.The only thing that worries me a bit is that all gameplay they've shown so far - and I mean 100% of it - looks ridiculously unchallenging.

Probably, but doing a Mario themed direct with focus on M+R and a trailer for SMO seems like a logical plan to me.
wait they actually removed mariachi mario? Are you fucking kidding me?
I made a cool discovery, I think. Maybe.
I'm not following SMO ever since the January trailer, since I want to go in as fresh as possible. However, I have seen some things here and there by happenstance, including the new art with the Cheep Cheeps and the new boxart.
Well, it hit me today that I had seen Mario in snorkel gear recently. (I'm assuming snorkel gear is going to be a thing in this game given the images shown.)
So, in August of 2016 I made a thread about Nintendo revealing the long-held mystery regarding Mario's CHONCH (chest hair or no chest hair) status. Nintendo had offered up a wallpaper showing Mario having a relaxed day at the beach. Dystify kindly provided the full image from Twitter:
His snorkeling equipment is right there in the pic. Was Nintendo hinting at snorkeling in the next Mario adventure even then? I'd like to think so, considering snorkeling
Perhaps the Kotabe (or Kotabe-esque) art will be in the game in some form. The image I saw with the purple moon is too lovely not to include and I assume Kotabe (or someone with a very similar art style) is working on other art for the game also.
Anyway, just wanted to share this.

I get what you mean but I'm glad that they aren't really showing anything of substance from the rest of the levels. I think the entire fun of these games is exploring and finding stuff for the first time. I'd be pissed if we ended up seeing too many of the worlds and what they look like right now.My Mario Odyssey hype kinda died. We have seen New Donk and the sand world so much now. And I really dislike the look of New Donk.
