Super Mario Odyssey free update adds an all new minigame

Nintendo has released a free update for Super Mario Odyssey that introduces Luigi’s Balloon World.

Available to those who have finished the main campaign, Luigi’s Balloon World sees Mario collecting balloons found across the world hidden by his brother and other players.

You can also hide them in each level by finding Luigi on your map and having a quick chat with him. Building up a streak and climbing the online leaderboards for Balloon World seems like a great way of grinding coins and bagging those late-game costumes. 

The free update also introduces three new outfits for Mario to purchase and two new filters for the in-game photo mode.

Super Mario Odyssey is a platforming masterpiece and an essential title for all Nintendo Switch owners.

Earning 10/10 in our review, we praised its stunning visuals, addictive gameplay and loving dedication to the series’ history.

“It carried enormous expectations, but somehow Nintendo has managed to leapfrog over the bar by a huge distance. Offering the most satisfying gameplay experience of any Mario game to date, Super Mario Odyssey is near-perfect.

Some will debate whether or not it matches Galaxy, but for me it does, thanks to its brilliant reinvention of the sandbox formula and incredible use of so many different tools.”
