COMPLETED Mario Odyssey Safari Development Showcase

[Qw2]

Hello all,
This is my first time posting here, so...
   

The gist is that in-between Cap Kingdom and Cascade, the wire is broken, and you collect Star Coins to make your way back off of the island (since honestly, a wire out of thin air to get you to Cascade is honestly pretty weird, even though it's a Mario game). There's 30 Star Coins in total, and an assortment of stamps that you can collect on the side. Get 15 and make your way to Twilight Tower to beat the game!

This game takes a lot of inspiration from the base game as well as some of the criticism in the (in?)famous It's No Masterpiece (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kYJx5xt2cB0) critique. Most notably, you'll find that you may need those extra 10 coins, and that the collectibles are more spread out (in most cases).

I've also removed the capture in favor of a move called the "Hatsorb" which gives you a new power without the cost of mario's moveset. In that way, they seem more like regular power-ups, but I've tried to make them varied.

A few screenshots...
           

I've also posted a short trailer showcasing a bit of the gameplay.

And that's the game! You'll find that if you beat the game, you'll get a cheat code each time. Nothing will happen if you get it wrong, so if you think you did it right, press up before you retry it to reset the queue. It can be finicky.

It's in a completed state, but I'm sure I'll probably end up fixing a few bugs and stuff later down the line. It's also been submitted to NCFC and the main site as well, so hopefully it'll be available soon there as well.

Criticism and thoughts appreciated!

Looks unique!

I like to chew mushrooms and kick goomba.

The trailer looks good, QW2. You must have spent a lot of time programming all those gameplay mechanics.

The only thing is that the animation looks a little clunky. Is your video 60 FPS or 30 FPS?
