10 Hidden Video Game Features EVERYONE Missed
5. Changing Bowser's Dialogue - Super Mario Odyssey
Throughout Super Mario Odyssey, the plucky plumber can use his sentient hat, Cappy, to possess others and use their bodies and powers to perform tasks. (It's not as creepy as it sounds.) On your travels, you can also purchase outfits and hats which allow Mario to access hidden areas and discover collectibles.
However, a lot of people don't realise characters will speak to Mario differently depending on his attire, including Bowser. Just before you throw down with your arch-nemesis in the climax, Mario will change in a white suit and top hat. When you confront Bowser, he'll mock your wardrobe, stating it isn't as fancy as his.
Because nearly every player will be wearing the white suit before battling Bowser, they won't realise his dialogue changes depending on what you wear. If you wear Luigi's clothes, he'll point out how familiar they look.
If you wear your invisibility hat, he'll become befuddled that he can't see you. If you dress as a skeleton or clown, the King of Koopas will freak out. And for some bizarre reason, Bowser becomes noticeably frightened if Mario is wearing nothing but his swimming shorts. (It's probably best not to overanalyse that one.)
