Nintendo Fans Create 10-Player Multiplayer Mod for Super Mario Odyssey

gamerant.com:

In many ways, the Super Mario Bros. franchise has always been a prime candidate for supporting cooperative multiplayer. It's based around a pair of brothers, Mario and Luigi, after all. Yet surprisingly few Mario games support full co-op, especially when it comes to Mario's 3D games. Some talented fans have decided to do something about that. A newly released mod has enabled co-op play in the Nintendo Switch exclusive 3D platformer Super Mario Odyssey.

The mod's name is simply Super Mario Odyssey Online Multiplayer, developed by modder CraftyBoss. The idea is simple; It's Super Mario Odyssey with support for cooperative multiplayer. CraftyBoss didn't settle for just one co-op partner, however, or even up to four players. The mod has gone above all expectations and supports up to ten players together in Super Mario Odyssey at one time. It isn't just a co-op game now; it has the potential to be a Super Mario party game.

Before getting into potential opportunities for changing how Super Mario Odyssey works, however, CraftyBoss focused on ensuring the Super Mario Odyssey Online Multiplayer mod worked with the basic structure of the game it modded. As such, the mod supports shared Moon collection between all players. Regardless of who finds the moon, progress will be shared between the full team. Further, «nearly» every Capture in the game is shared between players, so if one person becomes a Chain Chomp, then the full team will, too.

To help players stand out from each other, CraftyBoss has also implemented a system allowing players to choose different costumes for 3D Mario. Everyone is still Mario, but they can wear their unlocked costumes
