The Broodal Story

The Broodal Story is a 3D Mario platformer developed with the assistance of Nightcap Devs. for the Nintendo Switch. It is a story that takes place during the events of Super Mario Odyssey, starring the Broodals.
==Plot==
On the Dark Side of the Moon, the Broodals can be seen relaxing. Topper can be seen relaxing behind his desk until Madame Broode barges into the room and shows them a letter sent by Bowser. The Broodals then make their way towards Rabbit Ridge and get on their ship in order to head towards Bowser's Castle.
Once they arrive there, Bowser gives them a list of stuff they need to collect for his wedding with Peach. The Broodals agree to help and waste no time making their way toward Bonneton.

==Gameplay==
Despite the game taking place during the events of Super Mario Odyssey, The Broodal Story plays more like Super Mario 3D Land and Super Mario 3D World. The goal is to guide the Broodals through linear platforming levels in order to let them reach the end of the level. There are no 1-ups in this game. Instead, if you get defeated, you'll lose the Broodal you were playing as. If all 4 Broodals are defeated, you'll get a Game Over. To recover a Broodal, you'll need to collect a Broodal Coin and complete the stage with it.
