See How Local Co-Op Works In Super Mario Odyssey
During the third day of Nintendo's E3 Treehouse Live Stream, the company revealed Super Mario Odyssey will feature local co-op... sort of.
If you want to play Super Mario Odyssey with another person, one player will control Mario while the other plays as Cappy. Controlling Cappy independently means some puzzles will be easier to complete. Along with different controls, Cappy is also invincible, meaning the second player's experience is significantly different.
To watch the Treehouse Live demonstration of Odyssey's co-op, skip ahead to around 3:40. Super Mario Odyssey releases on Nintendo Switch on October 27.
Also check out our hands-on impressions of Super Mario Odyssey as well as our interview with Mario creator Shigeru Miyamoto.
I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
Thank you.
