The Mario game shown during the Nintendo Switch reveal trailer has been announced as Super Mario Odyssey, a brand new sandbox adventure featuring everyone’s favorite plumber.

The new Mario game was shown off during the Nintendo Switch presentation in Japan and we catch up with Mario as he arrives in the first sandbox game since Super Mario Sunshine. Mario jumps out of the Mushroom Kingdom and embarks on a journey through mysterious new places and new experiences, such as sailing between worlds aboard an airship and the ability to throw Mario’s cap.

The cap Mario wears seems to be sentient and it was teased in the Nintendo Switch presentation that it will have a major role to play in the story.

From the first trailer we see Mario exploring the big city, the desert and even a lush jungle. Super Mario Odyssey will really put Mario in some of the most unique environments to date.

Check out the first Super Mario Odyssey trailer from the Jan. 12 Nintendo Switch presentation above.

Super Mario Odyssey will arrive on the Nintendo Switch during the holiday season.
