Super Mario Odysseyhas been available for a couple of days now, and it is taking the gaming industry by storm. Earning enough perfect scores to make it the new highest-rated game to date, it’s safe to say many gamers will now be looking to add it to their collection. However, others will want to make certain that they will get their money’s worth withSuper Mario Odyssey, and may be wondering about how long the game lasts.
According to 38 polled players on the site How Long to Beat, completing the main story inSuper Mario Odysseytakes roughly 11 hours on average. The fastest person polled was able to beat the game in just under 7 hours, but it’s safe to assume that they skipped almost all the side content and only played enough to get through the story.
Completionists, meanwhile, are looking at about 43 hours of gameplay if they want to find every Power Moon and collectible in the game. To fully completeSuper Mario Odyssey, players will need to collect over 600 Power Moons,find all the purple coinsin every level, and earn enough gold coins to buy every extra outfit and item as well. Without using a guide, it’s likely that fully completingSuper Mario Odysseywill take even longer than 43 hours for most players.
It’s clear by this data thatSuper Mario Odysseyis one of the meatierSuper Mariogames out there, providing a wealth of content for players to explore. As we pointed out in ourSuper Mario Odysseyreview, the game constantly provides reasons to revisit kingdoms long thought conquered and has plenty of well-hidden secrets to uncover. In short, it will take dozens of hours before players run out of things to do in the game.
The data from How Long to Beat backs up these claims, so anyone that buysSuper Mario Odysseyshould be reassured that their hard-earned cash is being spent on a game that will keep them busy for quite awhile. In the meantime, it will be interesting to see if Nintendo decides to expand theSuper Mario Odysseyexperience further with DLC, like it’s doing withThe Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild.
