Super Mario Odyssey sent Mario further from home than he had ever been.

It is written for anyone who has collected a few Power Moons, whether you stopped at the credits or cleared every post-game stage. Expect easy openers, a run of kingdom questions, and some deep cuts about how the game was made.
