Super Mario Rendezvous

is a 3D Mario game released for the Horizon. The game takes much inspiration from its predecessor, Super Mario Odyssey, as well as from titles such as Super Princess Peach and Paper Mario. For the first time in a 3D Mario game, you can play as either Mario or Peach in their own separate storylines, each with their own unique abilities.
==Story==
*bowser wants to kidnap princess aurum for her beautiful voice, for his crowning ceremony
===Mario's Story===
===Peach's Story===
*after rescuing aurum and preparing to return her heart, she's kidnapped by the wrecking crew
===The Final Act===
==Gameplay==
Super Mario Rendezvous is a 3D platforming Mario game, much akin to that of Super Mario 64 or, more accurately, Super Mario Odyssey. It puts Mario or Peach in a large, open-ended sandbox levels known as Kingdoms. Rendezvous encourages exploration and experimentation, as Power Crowns are hidden around every corner.
Mario comes equipped with most of his moves from Odyssey. Due to the lack of Cappy, Mario cannot use any of his cap-related moves, aside from throwing his cap in midair. Thanks to his new partner, Cestu, Mario has a variety of punch-based attacks, and can absorb elements from the environment to give him a vast array of abilities and combinations, seen here.
For the first time in a while, Peach makes a comeback as a playable character. She plays similarly to Mario, but wields a parasol. Thanks to her new companion, Aurum, Peach can transform her parasol in order to accomplish a number of tasks, seen here.
===Koopa Subway===
In order to get between Kingdoms, you'll need to take the Koopa Subway. You can choose which Kingdom to go to, permitted that you have visited it before or it is your first time visiting. If it's your first time visiting a Kingdom, you'll have to wait around in the Koopa Express for a while, but there's plenty to do there! If you're revisiting a Kingdom, you'll be given the option of taking the Express Route or the Scenic Route. Choosing the Express Route will allow you to skip the Subway and head straight to your destination.
While waiting in the Subway, you are free to explore the train. You are given your own cabin, which you can decorate with souvenirs from the Kingdoms you've visited. You can also change your outfit in your cabin, or sleep to pass the time.
There are plenty of activities to take part in on the Subway when you exit your cabin. You can admire the scenery as it passes, with the scenery changing based on which Kingdom you left from, and where you are headed. The interior of the train can be changed by buying special tickets from the Crazy Cap store. You can also check out the on-board Crazy Cap, though they only deal in yellow Coins.
You're not alone on the train, as many passengers are also travelling between Kingdoms. Many of these passengers will have familiar faces, and you may meet them again on your journey. Passengers may tell stories about Kingdoms, give hints to the locations of Power Crowns, play games, or simply want a chat.

Sometimes, he might tell you to meet him somewhere in your destination, where he will gift you with a Power Crown that he found.	West
Pauline 	Wearing her mayor attire, Pauline is travelling between Kingdoms for political reasons. It's evident by your conversations that you've talked before, princess to princess, but there might be something a bit more going on...

Character 	Description
Mario 	Mario's our superstar! He's a hero through and through. Mario's used to rescuing Peach from Bowser's villainous clutches, but this time there's been a bit of a switch-around. After escaping from Bowser's castle and teaming up with Cestu, Mario must travel the world and stop Bowser from expanding his city.
Peach 	Peach is no damsel in distress! This time, Peach has taken it upon herself to reclaim her kingdom from Bowser's new city. She's teamed up with Princess Aurum's heart to rescue her body, which has been kidnapped by Bowser. Peach must use her new parasol abilities to make her way back home to begin the final battle.
Cestu 	Though Cestu looks like a ghost, he's actually a robot! A reject prototype from the Battle Belt Factory in Neo Bowser City, Cestu was sentenced to the dungeon. With the help of Mario, Cestu is ready to claim justice from Bowser. Cestu can grant Mario the ability to absorb elements from the environment and create crazy combinations.
Aurum's Heart	When Madame Argentum kidnapped Princess Aurum, she was able to separate her heart from her body, both of which are now living, breathing organisms. Her heart was able to escape, and was discovered by Princess Peach, who helped her back to health. Now that Bowser has kidnapped her body for her beautiful voice, Aurum is desperate to become whole again.

KIngdoms are the various levels available in Super Mario Rendezvous. Each one is expansive and filled with secrets, connected by the Koopa Subway Line.
===West Line (Mario)===
Koopa KingdomBowser BadlandsThe home of the infamous Koopa King, Bowser. It's a level filled with lava and darkness, as is expected, but there's a fair bit of construction going on. After your initial escape from the castle, it might be best not to go back in there for a while. Being heavily guarded, there are some Power Crowns hidden in Bowser's Castle that you may not be prepared to get until far later in the game. You'll be using Mario's Fire Gloves and Hammer Gloves a lot in this kingdom.	Koopa KingdomBowser BadlandsThe home of the infamous Koopa King, Bowser.

===Sakura Line===
These "Kingdoms" are available when you purchase the Super Mario Powers 黒 DLC pack. They become accessible after unlocking the 4th Kingdom for either character.
===Underworld Line===
These "Kingdoms" are available when you purchase the Super Mario and the Underworld Trials DLC pack. They become accessible after unlocking the 5th Kingdom for either character.
==Abilities==
===Mario's Gloves===
Glove 	Description
Fire Glove 	
The Fire Glove is pretty much what it says on the tin! With this ability, Mario can throw fireballs just like in the good ol' days.
Hammer Glove 	
With the Hammer Glove, Mario can summon a hammer to swing. This is a powerful attack that can break even the brickiest of blocks, but takes a bit to get going.
Ice Glove 	
Much like the Fire Glove, the Ice Glove is a callback to a certain flower. This Glove allows Mario to throw balls of ice that can freeze whatever it hits.
Thunder Glove	
Using this electricty-enhanced glove, Mario is able to shoot bolts of lightning straight ahead. This will stun enemies, as well as power machinery.
Suction Glove	
The Suction Gloves are exceptionally sticky, and allow Mario to carry objects he wouldn't normally be able to carry. Not able to be combined, but having both gloves as Suction Gloves will allow you to climb up walls with a stamina meter.
====Combinations====
Glove 	Description
Dragonbreath Gloves	Fire + Fire
The Dragonbreath Gloves allow Mario to shoot a spray of blue fire straight ahead. This has limited range, but is a powerful attack. Blue fire is sometimes required for puzzles.
Megaquake Gloves 	Hammer + Hammer
With the Megaquake Gloves, Mario can summon a massive, golden hammer to attack with. Mario is limited to a single swing in front of him, which creates a small earthquake in the surrounding area.
Hyperfreeze Gloves 	Ice + Ice
The Hyperfreeze Gloves coat Mario in ice. Instead of throwing balls of ice, Mario will put up a hexagonal shield that freezes anybody that comes into contact. Mario can also walk on water, freezing it as he walks.
Gigavolt Gloves 	Thunder + Thunder
The Gigavolt Gloves allow Mario to surround himself in a sphere of electricity. By charging it up, Mario can release a field of electricty momentarily.
===Peach's Parasol===
With help from Aurum, Peach can transform her parasol into a variety of forms. Experimenting with these forms is key, and many of them can be used in unexpected ways.
Disguise 	Description
Glide 	When in midair, Peach can open her parasol to glide. Peach can only glide for a set amount of time, though there are a few techniques to get a bit of extra air time. Gliding will allow Peach to land from high places with ease, land accurately, or cross long gaps.
Double Jump	After jumping once, Peach can hold her parasol in the air to gain some extra height. This allows you to reach higher places, and provides an easy method of switching to other midair techniques, such as Gliding or Bounce.
Brella 	Peach holds her parasol over her head, and Aurum will expand its width with gold plating. This can protect Peach from falling hazards, but leaves her very vulnerable.
Twirl 	The basic attacking move. Peach twirls her parasol in front of her, then pulls it back.
Shield 	Peach holds her parasol in front of herself, protecting her from most attacks.
Bowl 	Peach holds her parasol in front of herself, but the "bowl" is inverted. This allows her to reflect projectiles back at enemies, but leaves her open to physical attacks, and is harder to execute. If the parasol comes in contact with liquid or an object too heavy for Peach to normally lift, Peach can carry it above her head in the Bowl. However, this leaves her vulnerable.
Drill 	Peach twirls her parasol in front of her, but it remains closed. This technique can drill through fragile walls and such. Peach does a short but speedy dash while she executes this.
Bounce 	In midair, Peach holds her parasol under her. When she lands, she will bounce into the air, respective of how high she fell from. This will also protect her from spiked enemies, though it won't harm them.

==Crazy Cap==
The Crazy Cap shop returns from Super Mario Odyssey, with a very much similar function. Yellow vendors sell outfits in exchange for regular Coins; typically these outfits can be found in most Crazy Cap shops. Purple vendors only take regional currency, but sell Kingdom-exclusive outfits, as well as decorations for your Koopa Subway cabin.

==Trivia==
*The game was first developed for the Switch, before deciding to make a Horizon port
*Originally, there was a partner for Peach who resembled a red version of Cestu
**Because of this, it's speculated that the two are based on Joycons
*Many areas are based on areas from past Mario games
**Neo Bowser City is based on the course from Mario Kart 7
**Gloom Kingdom is based on underground levels
**Whomp Kingdom is, quite obviously, a reference to Whomp Fortress from Super Mario 64
**Suburbiacon is a reference to Subcon
**Bowser Jr. Boulevard is a reference to the arena from Mario Sports Mix
**Moonview Highway is a reference to the course from Mario Kart Wii
**Shy Guy Bazaar is a reference to the course from Mario Kart 7
*Even though all areas of Neo Bowser City share the regional Bowser Coins, they are only usable in their respective area
**Due to there being no Crazy Cap store in the Mushroom Castle, Bowser Coins obtained there can be spent in the Battle Belt Factory
