Super Mario Odyssey has been updated to add a new balloon-based mini-game
Balloon World is a new mini-game for Mario to take part in.
Super Mario Odyssey has been given an update to introduce a new mini-game as well as more outfits for Mario.
The Nintendo Switch flagship game has added a new feature called Balloon World, which will become available when players complete the main story.
The mini-game has two sides, with players either having to hide or find a balloon within a set time limit, earning points towards a Balloon World ranking each time they take part.
Nintendo said the game will be available in each of Odyssey’s in-game kingdoms and is activated by finding Luigi in each of these worlds – a quick conversation with him launches the balloon-based fun.
As well as the new mode, Nintendo also revealed some new outfits for Mario which can be purchased in-game, as well as two new filters for taking photos in Snapshot Mode.
Mario’s appearance is a surprising source of fascination for many Switch players – the internet having previously gone into meltdown when Nintendo shared an image of a shirtless Mario wearing swimming shorts ahead of the game’s launch last year.
All will become available to players once they finish the main story mode.
