Super Mario Odyssey Parents Guide: Age Rating, Safety & Tips
Recommended age: 8+
Recommended play time: 45 minutes - 1.5 hours
Oh, my goodness, 'Super Mario Odyssey'! My middle son (13) went crazy for this when it came out, and I, Papa Chaim from Nes Ziona, had to dive headfirst into this world of mushrooms and a jumping Italian guy. Honestly? It's cute, colorful, and pretty innocent, and even I found myself laughing sometimes. Worth knowing about!
What is this game
Listen, it's a 'platform game,' whatever that means (took me a week to figure it out). Basically, you're Mario, the plumber with the mustache, trying to save Princess Peach from the big bad Bowser, again! Here, he does it with a magic hat named Cappy, who can take control of all sorts of creatures and objects. It's full of jumping, collecting coins and power-ups, and solving small puzzles to unlock new worlds. Everything is very colorful and non-violent.
