Super Mario Odyssey is expecting a new update which includes additional costumes and a new minigame, Balloon World as revealed during the Nintendo Direct Mini. As reported last week, Nintendo plans to add additional updates to the game including more costumes for our hero, Mario.
With every Nintendo game, traces of unused data are usually found by dataminers and Super Mario Odyssey is no exception. According to Twitter user, Random Talking Bush, they’ve discovered sprites of ‘Retro Coins’ for the Metro Kingdom and also additional data for costumes.
And unused 2D coins for the Metro Kingdom, apparently, which only come in “collected” form (CoinCollectEmpty2D_E), and don’t have a colourized counterpart. pic.twitter.com/bRrMAXmG1V

Something I didn’t notice earlier: For the 64, Metal, Gold and Skeleton outfits in Mario Odyssey, there’s a bunch of “fix” scripts for the hat positions. However, there’s a bunch that don’t correspond with anything in-game! pic.twitter.com/NojDlZ7QBa

(Cont’d) In particular, ArmorWestern, Batter, CapCostume, Conductor, Link, Racer, Santa, Satellite, Scholar and Zombie. Hakama and Underwear are odd additions too since there’s no hats for those and they have different position/scale values that don’t match the default hat’s.

It’s unclear if we’ll eventually see some of these unused costumes in Super Mario Odyssey, but it’s always interesting to see what could’ve been added especially the possibility of a Link costume for Mario. Who knows, maybe some of these could be added as a future update but for now, we’ll just have to wait and see!
Let us know if there’s anything that caught your interest and what costumes or updates would you like to see in Super Mario Odyssey? Comment below.
