Mastering Mario's moves is crucial for exploration and combat. Super Mario Odyssey offers flexible control schemes, including Joy-Con separation, attached Joy-Cons, and Pro Controller. Here's a breakdown of the most common actions:
- Left Stick: Move Mario
- Right Stick: Camera Control
- A/B/Y/X Buttons: Jump, Action (e.g., talk, pick up), Throw Cappy
- ZL/ZR Buttons: Crouch, Ground Pound (in air), Roll (while crouching)
- Motion Controls (Joy-Cons): Shake to throw Cappy further, perform Spin Jump, or Cappy Spin Attack.
Experiment with different control styles to find what feels most comfortable for you. Many advanced techniques combine these basic inputs, such as the 'Cap Jump' (throw Cappy, jump on him, then jump again).
