Super Mario Odyssey has a surprisingly robust photo mode. Not only can you snap elaborate pictures of Mario with the game's stunning scenery as a backdrop, but you can add filters and a pseudo-3D effect.
While you're welcome to snap tame pictures of Mario gazing at New Donk City's impressive skyline, Mario Odyssey's wide array of costumes, props, and NPCs serve as a toybox for photo enthusiasts who are really invested in capturing Mario's goofier shenanigans.
And when it comes to snapping "Look at me!" moments in Mario games and then sharing them on social media, Nintendo fans don't hold back. Here is Mario at his best: Candid, bold, and in medias res.

Super Mario Odyssey isn't even a week old. The picture-snapping frenzy has only begun. If you enjoy haunting Twitter, brace yourself for a lot of vacation photos from a short Italian guy.
