In just over a week, Mario will embark on one of his biggest--and weirdest--adventures to date, Super Mario Odyssey for Nintendo Switch. As usual, his longtime nemesis Bowser has captured Princess Peach, and to rescue her, Mario will have to explore a number of sandbox-style Kingdoms like in Super Mario 64 and Super Mario Sunshine.Things are a little different this time, however. Not only does Odyssey take Mario to some bizarre new worlds such as New Donk City--a metropolitan area inhabited by realistically proportioned people--he`ll be joined by a ghost-like being called Cappy, which inhabits Mario`s cap and in turn grants him the ability to possess other characters and objects.As odd as all that may sound, however, it certainly isn`t the strangest thing to happen to Nintendo`s iconic plumber in his long and storied career. In the video above, we take a look back at eight of the weirdest moments in Mario`s history, from his questionable Cat Costume in Wii U`s Super Mario 3D World to his ongoing Olympic rivalry with Sonic the Hedgehog.Super Mario Odyssey releases next week, on October 27. We`ll have a full review of the game soon, but we thought it was still wonderful the last time we went hands-on with it. In the meantime, you can see our guid to all of the costumes in Super Mario Odyssey we`ve seen so far.
