Performance profile
October 2017 release. Super Mario Odyssey was built around the GTX 10-series / RX Vega era. Current-gen mid-range cards (RTX 4060 / RX 7600) are overkill at 1080p and handle 1440p Ultra comfortably.
Super Mario Odyssey is a narrative-driven experience — a rock-solid 60 FPS is plenty. Prioritise resolution and image quality (AA, anisotropic filtering) over chasing high-refresh framerates.
Storyline
Bowser has kidnapped Princess Peach once again, but this time, he plans to force her into a royal wedding! Mario sets off on a globe-trotting adventure beyond the Mushroom Kingdom, teaming up with Cappy, a mysterious hat-shaped spirit from the Cap Kingdom whose sister Tiara was also taken by Bowser. Together, they travel across vast and colorful kingdoms aboard the airship Odyssey, collecting Power Moons to fuel their journey. Using Cappy’s powers, Mario can “capture” enemies, objects, and creatures to gain their abilities, from a Goomba stack to a mighty T-Rex. From the bustling streets of New Donk City to the frozen peaks of the Snow Kingdom, Mario and Cappy must chase Bowser across the world to stop his forced wedding and rescue Peach and Tiara before it’s too late.
