Super Mario Skippering

Super Mario Skippering is an open world 3D platforming game for the Nintendo Switch released on May 23rd 2020. It is the nineteenth title in the Super Mario series and the eight 3D Mario title altogether in the series. The game's story serves as a sequel to Super Mario Odyssey as it has Mario and Luigi being forced to work together with Bowser on a cascade across the seas of the Earth in order to catch Madame Broode, who has harnessed power from the Grand Star Clock, stolen Peach's Castle as an airship and is destroying many Kingdoms and Islands on the Earth.
==Story==
In the opening cutscene, Bowser is heading back from the Moon, riding on his poorly repaired airship. Cross that Mario bruised and abandoned him there, he plans to kill him. He sees the Broodels' airship floating about in the air, he looks at it and shrugs it off, not caring at all and continues onward. He spots the earth and evilly grins.
Back on earth in the Mushroom Kingdom, Mario, Luigi and Toadsworth are having lunch on the lawn outside Peach's Castle while Peach is inside cooking some pancakes for them. Outside, they notice Bowser's airship in the sky. Luigi sighs with annoyance, knowing that Bowser's going to do what he always does and kidnap Peach.
When he arrives, Mario and Luigi confront him and fight him, lasting for a good three hours. However their fight is interrupted by the sound of another airship, Bowser laughs knowing that the Broodels will come and give him more power and help in the fight. However instead of the Broodels, it's Madame Broode that jumps out. However something is not right about her as she is glowing yellow and her eyes are dark red with no pupils.
She snaps her finger and suddenly the castle starts shaking as it is lifted off the ground. It takes Mario no second to realize that Peach is still inside. Mario and Luigi sprint towards the castle, but are stopped by a blinding flash of white. When the screen fades back to normal, everything is destroyed, Bowser's airship, the courtyard. But the one thing missing is Peach's Castle. Toadsworth starts to panic worrying that the princess might be gone forever. Mario and Luigi try to think of a solution as to what happened. Bowser notices the castle in the sky, propelling in the air, towards Funghill Dockyard. 
Mario and Luigi notice it too, now trying to think of a way to catch that castle. Since Mario gave Cappy the Odyssey as a "Thank you gift" to him after their adventure.  Bowser realizes that he has the Koopa Cruiser waiting at his castle and jolts to his castle to beat the Mario brothers to it. Leaving them to chase after him. They take a shortcut pipe to his castle, found in Toad Town, where they notice that the Grand Star Clock. The clock that grants many wishes, good and bad, has been drained of its power. Luigi suspects that might be reason why Madame Broode was glowing yellow. 
They finally arrive at the castle and convince Bowser to let them travel with him on his journey. He refuses multiple times but eventually gives in and lets them on board, only on his command, meaning they have to do what he says on his ship. Before leaving, however Toadsworth arrives, saying that he needs to come too for some assistance for the Mario Bros. Bowser groans with annoyance and lets Toadsworth on board.
They finally leave the castle. Mario and Luigi are somewhat disappointed as this was not what they were expecting from a cruiser since they thought it would be able to fly and not pilot on the water, Toadsworth complains about it and is told by Bowser to cut him some slack and shut up. 
==Gameplay==
Although the game is somewhat reminiscent to Super Mario Odyssey in terms of story and set up (cross country travelling), the game focuses more on the formulas of Super Mario 64 and Super Mario Galaxy, such as the ability to Punch, Punch and Kick and the ability to use Power Ups. However unlike the past 3D Mario titles, this game's Sandbox levels are all one big open environment, meaning that different Kingdoms have different areas connected to each other, called counties.
Counties are places in the Kingdom that Mario or Luigi go to in order to find some trace of Madame Broode, each of the counties have their own theme to them and are more or less based off of real world locations such as Lagos in Portugal or Las Vegas in America, and have multiple branching points leading to different locations. The kingdoms can be accessed by selecting which kingdom on the map in Bowser's Captain hold. There are about ten counties in each of the fourteen kingdoms in the game.
The Koopa Cruiser is where Bowser's Captain Quarters is located and is considered the main hub world of the game. Mario and Luigi travel on the ship with Bowser and Toadsworth across the sea of the Earth as they try to find any kingdom that Madame Broode has taken over or destroyed.
Power Stars are the first main collectable of game as they are used to generate electricity on the Koopa Cruiser whenever the power runs out, open different borders to counties, and upgrade power ups and give Mario and Luigi new abilities. Power Stars are earned by doing different tasks in the different counties in the Kingdom, winning bosses and so on.
