Super Mario Odyssey was given an October 27 release date on Nintendo Switch.
The Nintendo Switch release even contains a special NES surprise for fans of Mario Bros.
During a recent hands-on with the game, it was revealed that levels will be filled with 2D sections when players enter special pipes.
As Mario merges with the wall, players must guide him to the exit, all the while avoiding Bullet Bills, stomping Goombas and collecting coins in classic 2D gameplay.
It’s very similar to The Legend of Zelda: A Link Between Worlds, which saw Link solve puzzles and reach secret areas by shuffling along walls.
It follows news of another mode currently available online for Nintendo fans.
Super Mario 64 Online is the brand new Super Mario Bros game that won’t be coming to Nintendo Switch.

The project, titled SM64 Online, is being developed by Kaze Emanuar, Melonspeedruns and Marshivolt.
It gives 24 players the chance to team up and clear classic Super Mario 64 stages, or compete in races and battles.
And it’s not just Mario and Luigi that make an appearance in the game, you can even choose the likes of Waluigi, Rosalina and Yoshi.
