Ya wanna throw a hat? “Super Mario Odyssey” has you covered.
Nintendo’s latest entry into the “Mario” franchise introduces Cappy, Mario’s new partner in crime. Cappy defeats enemies, collects coins and possess the unwilling. Wanna become a T-Rex? Wanna turn on lanterns? Wanna become a Goomba? All these things are a a snap–with ya cap!
Cappy is Mario’s main source of combat. When thrown the ghost headgear will act like a boomerang smacking enemies before returning to Mario’s head. Motion controls activate certain attacks but are a little tricky to execute when the Joy‑Con controller is attached to a charge grip. This can get a little frustrating. “Odyssey” features classic attacks like Mario’s signature head jump but if you stop and think about it, you’re kinda pigeonholed throwing a hat all game.
I plan on playing much more of the hat throwing sim. There aren’t many of them out there anyway.
