I agree with the "barely scratched" bit. One moment that kind of illuminate me on how useful is Cappy for platforming, not just capturing, was doing a Koopa Race in the Steam Gardens. I was playing and I really couldn't understand why I always reached the end in the 2nd place. So I followed the best of the Koopas to see what the hell what he was doing to always beat me. And I saw that you can long jump, then throw Cappy, then dive into Cappy to do the longest jump I saw in a Mario game XD.

Afterwards I went to Youtube to see what people were doing, and I was astonished with the awesome movements I saw. I mean, Mario's moveset in this game is just brilliant.

And, well, watching speedrunnings of this game could be the best thing ever. I can't wait to that!

Haha exact same thing happened to me, after the second loss, I've had enough and I followed that golden koopa that sneaky sob.

Dunkey is great, definitely one of my top 5 YouTubers. This video reminded me of his Banjo review awhile back which was a straightforward video where he's glowingly gushing over the game the same way he is in his Mario Odyssey video (he also gave Banjo a 5/5 FWIW).

His Yooka Laylee review video is also similar in that he is straightforward and immensely critical of the game and you can just hear the disappointment in his voice as he recaps his love for Banjo 1+2 and how the promise of a spiritual Banjo 3 after all these years ultimately fell way short of the mark.

You know I was always wondering why no one ever used the dollar sign for $ony, but then I realized they have no money so it would be pointless.

3D Marios are his favorite games, so this was expected.

He also needs to make a 4 milllion subs video now.

Yeah, that was hilarious XD. You'll learn another move if you follow the golden Koopa in the Lost Kingdom. You can reach more height doing a combo movement with the ground pound+wall jump+Cappy. Man, this game's speedrunnings will be epic.

I tried that move in the seaside kingdom to get up the places in the wall. It didn't work though, so close, yet the wall slopes inward at the wrong place. It was made to use the proper way. It was quite useful in the city. Actually I tried ground pound, high jump, cappy, wall jump, then you can throw cappy again yet he won't dive another time. Long jump + cappy of the tower in the city then sky dive to the the tower with the garbage bin was epic.

However even though the moveset is awesome the game is getting kinda repetitive. I'm almost done at the seaside kingdom, near 300 moons (already did the snow) and a lot of things are getting routine. I guess the koopa races come after the story as I haven't seen them yet?

You haven't beaten the story yet? I think the first level of Koopa races unlock after beaten the area's boss (not 100% sure about this). But when you beat the story, you unlock the "master" level, and that's when I learned some platforming tricks.

About repetitiveness, I think that the game does a clever job in hidding some moons throughout the levels. There were some moments when I legitely said: "fuck, this was clever" XD. Some moons are just there in plain sight, so they don't really contribute to these moments. They just pop out as you explore the level, so it's pretty easy to get to the 500 moons landmark, which I'd say it's the minimum to really appreciate what the game has to offer. With that in mind, I still grin at some moon locations and platforming levels because of their cleverness. You'll unlock some pure platforming levels in the kingdoms when you finish though. I think the game suits to any playstyle, I wouldn't force myself too much into doing everything, you'll always find something you have fun with, and you'll reach this minimum without doing some repetitive tasks.
