Current Events > Anyone else feel like Mario runs entirely too slow in Odyssey?

(+) Yeah! (+)

That or most of the timed challenges weren't tested enough? All my life I've played some Mario so I'm more then used to some of them being designed to barely give you enough time or doing insane/stupid stunts just to see if I could. But never has he felt so sluggish before.

You can roll around at the speed of sound.

But yes, he runs much slower than in any of the other games.

Nah they're all beatable.

And for the others like races, you need to roll like Turbam said

he's like 50 years old and subsists primarily on mushrooms

cut him some slack

His voice is too soft

In galaxy for example he's like WAAAHOOOO and in Odyssey he's like 'ha'

Doesn't stop Mario being weirdly slow this time around. And I know about rolling but how does that help on flat surfaces?

I dont think hes slower, the environments are just larger.

Mario keeps his momentum if you stay off the ground.

What I do on flat surfaces like that is to Long Jump (makes him slightly faster) and then just constantly triple jump. You go noticeably faster if you keep chaining jumps.

probably because most of the levels are tiny and linear so they wanted to artificially lengthen it.

Are you not long jumping, like at all?

Literally the first thing I do on timed things.
