Editorial note: this is the reference implementation for the game content type. Every technical value above is illustrative and must be verified against primary sources before this page goes live.

Super Mario Odyssey is the Switch’s flagship 3D platformer and, seven years on, still the clearest demonstration of what the hardware was designed to do. It abandoned the linear, course-clear structure of the Galaxy games in favour of large sandbox kingdoms, each with its own visual language, traversal rules and dense scattering of Power Moons.

Why this game matters for emulation testing

Odyssey is one of the most useful titles in a compatibility suite, because it exercises nearly every subsystem an emulator has to get right. The capture mechanic constantly swaps the player character’s physics and animation state. The Metro Kingdom pushes draw distance and crowd density harder than almost anything else in the first-party catalogue. Snapshot Mode applies post-processing filters that expose shader compilation problems immediately. An emulator build that holds a stable frame rate through New Donk City is usually in good shape generally.

Reading the compatibility table

The table above records results per emulator, per platform and per device, with the date each test was run. That specificity matters more than a single global rating, because Switch emulator forks diverge quickly — a build that is flawless on desktop may struggle on the same renderer under Android. A result from two years ago tells you about a build that no longer exists, which is why every row carries its test date in plain sight.

Versions and file details

The technical block covers the Title ID, Build ID, firmware floor, file type and size. Title IDs are stable across a game’s lifetime, while Build IDs change with each update, which makes the pair useful for identifying exactly which revision of a game a given file corresponds to. The version history table tracks what each update actually changed.

Where to buy it

Super Mario Odyssey remains on sale digitally on the Nintendo eShop and physically on cartridge. The link in the details table points to the official store listing.
