Super Mario Odyssey- 10 Ways It Beats Breath Of The Wild

7. Music

Mario Zelda Odyssey Breath Of The Wild
Nintendo

This may be more of a personal opinion, but the jazzy themes of Super Mario Odyssey make way more of an impact than the slower, more typical stylings of Breath of the Wild.

Nowhere is this more apparent than in the main theme of Super Mario Odyssey, Jump Up Super Star!, which is so fantastically catchy that it's easily one of the most memorable songs in Mario history. It's also the only one that's ever incorporated lyrics, which is why it makes such an impact.

Every other music track in the game has a similar level of finesse to it and it's pretty great that Odyssey doesn't choose to rely on older Mario music.

Now this isn't to say that Breath of the Wild's music isn't any good. The whole soundtrack is actually very beautiful, with the main theme in particular standing out. However, none of it was anywhere near as surprising or redefining as much of Odyssey's music was for the Mario series.
