Super Mario Odyssey remains one of the most beloved Nintendo Switch titles since its worldwide launch in October 2017, consistently praised for its inventive gameplay and the freedom it offers players.
Among its standout features is the ability for players to customize Mario’s appearance by equipping various outfits throughout his journey.
While Mario is famous for his classic red cap and blue overalls, Super Mario Odyssey brings flair and variety through an expansive wardrobe, paying tribute to the franchise's history and fans' creative preferences.
For players eager to diversify Mario’s style, amiibo figurines offer a valuable shortcut to unlock a range of exclusive costumes.
Amiibo, Nintendo’s popular line of interactive figures, remain supported in Super Mario Odyssey, allowing players to access themed outfits tied to different characters and special editions.
Importantly, players are not required to own these figures to obtain all outfits; every amiibo-related costume can also be earned through regular gameplay by collecting coins and progressing through the game.
This ensures that all wardrobe options remain accessible to dedicated players, regardless of their access to amiibo.
Here’s an overview of the amiibo-compatible costumes in Super Mario Odyssey, as well as details on what each unlocks:
- **Dr.

series):** Unlocks the Doctor Headware and Doctor Outfit, referencing Mario’s classic puzzle game persona.

While amiibo enables instant access to these costumes, completionists can unlock them over time by thoroughly exploring Super Mario Odyssey’s kingdoms, gathering coins, and visiting the in-game Crazy Cap shops.
Nintendo’s approach ensures that cosmetic content in Super Mario Odyssey enhances the experience without restricting gameplay behind physical purchases.
The game’s popularity among Nintendo Switch owners, its strong performance on the Nintendo eShop, and its continued acclaim in the Super Mario universe underline its place as a must-have platformer.
Overall, whether through amiibo or patient play, expanding Mario’s wardrobe in Super Mario Odyssey remains a beloved element of the Nintendo Switch experience, marrying nostalgia, customization, and adventuring in true Nintendo style.
