I’m close to finishing Super Mario Odyssey and was wondering which games are similar to it. Fun to play and no heavy story.

I have played or are currently also busy with;

  • Mario Kart 8 (playing but finished everything).
  • Super Mario Wonder (finished).
  • Super Mario Bros. Deluxe (finished).
  • Mario & Luigi brothership (did not like).
  • Super Mario 3D World (Playing on/off).
  • Breath Of The Wild (Playing).

I understand there’s also Tears of Kingdom but don’t want to play that one just yet. Might gift Switch 2 to a family member and I have heard it is now possible to have more than one save?

ETA: It is on Steam Deck through emulation. So other games outside of Nintendo is possible too.

Pseudoregalia has the same endless space for skill expression in the movement - the platforming is deeply satisfying and scratched a very similar itch for me!

As others mentioned, A Hat In Time is delightful and has similar room for skill expression

Celeste is 2d but the single best platforming game I have ever played. Its movement system is so, so satisfying and deep

You might enjoy Ratchet and Clank: Rift Apart - its a ton of fun, but a slight sideways shift in genre

I also found Cavern of Dreams pretty delightful as a cute 3d mascot platformer

I would be failing you if I didn't mention A Short Hike - it's short, as its name suggests, but it is an absolute blast
