Super Mario Odyssey is in stock at Mascom International, priced at KSh 7,500 for the physical Nintendo Switch game card, brand new and sealed. Published by Nintendo and first released on 27 October 2017, Super Mario Odyssey is a sandbox-style 3D adventure for one or two players. It runs in TV, tabletop and handheld modes and supports amiibo figures. Mario sails the airship Odyssey to distant lands, gathering Power Moons to fuel it while chasing Bowser, who plans to marry Princess Peach. Pick up Super Mario Odyssey from our Kimathi Street store in the Old Mutual Building, First Floor Room 4, Nairobi CBD.
Built for families, younger gamers and adults coming back to Mario across Kenya, Super Mario Odyssey suits a parent in Kilimani choosing a game the whole household can share. Many parents struggle to find a title a child can enjoy without online matches against strangers or a monthly membership. Super Mario Odyssey answers that with a self-contained adventure that plays fully offline, and Nintendo lists only cloud saves as a paid online feature. A second player can join on the same console, so an older sibling can help a younger one through a tricky level after school.
Where most Nairobi electronics shops stock loose second-hand Mario cards, Mascom International sells Super Mario Odyssey factory sealed with a receipt and a 6-month warranty. Customers across Nairobi tell us this is the game they buy alongside a first Switch, because it shows what the console does in all three play modes. Unlike a yearly sports release, a Mario adventure does not go out of date when a new season starts. Order Super Mario Odyssey on WhatsApp and pay with M-Pesa when it arrives in Nakuru, Kisumu or anywhere else in Kenya.
Common Questions About Super Mario Odyssey
How much is Super Mario Odyssey for Nintendo Switch in Kenya?
Super Mario Odyssey for Nintendo Switch costs KSh 7,500 at Mascom International in Nairobi, sealed in its retail case. That covers the physical game card, a 6-month warranty against manufacturing defects and pay-on-arrival delivery to all 47 counties. There is no subscription to add, because the full adventure plays without a Nintendo Switch Online membership. Pay at our Kimathi Street counter by M-Pesa or cash, or hand the payment to the rider at your door.
Should I buy Super Mario Odyssey or NBA 2K25 for my child?
Super Mario Odyssey at KSh 7,500 is the better first game for a young child, while NBA 2K25 at KSh 7,000 suits older children who follow basketball. Super Mario Odyssey is a single adventure with a clear goal, simple controls and no need for internet at any point. NBA 2K25 offers offline matches too, but much of its newer content, such as MyTEAM and The Neighborhood, needs a connection and an online account. Pick Super Mario Odyssey for ages up to the early teens; pick NBA 2K25 for a basketball fan.
Can two people play Super Mario Odyssey together?
Yes, Super Mario Odyssey supports one or two players on a single Nintendo Switch, according to Nintendo's product page. The second player needs their own controller, and the pair work through the same adventure on one screen. It is a shared journey rather than a head-to-head contest, which suits a parent helping a child or two siblings taking turns. For solo play, every kingdom and Power Moon is open to one player alone, so nothing is locked behind a second controller.
Does Super Mario Odyssey need internet or Nintendo Switch Online?
No, Super Mario Odyssey plays from start to finish without internet or a Nintendo Switch Online membership. Nintendo lists only one membership feature for this game: save data backed up to the cloud. That suits Kenyan homes where Safaricom or Airtel data is rationed, and it means a KPLC outage that cuts the Wi-Fi does not interrupt play. In handheld mode, Super Mario Odyssey keeps running on the console's battery until power returns, so a blackout need not end the evening.
Will Super Mario Odyssey work on the Nintendo Switch 2?
Nintendo states that original Switch games generally run on Nintendo Switch 2, and the newer console accepts original Switch game cards. Nintendo reviews titles one at a time in its compatibility notes, so message us on WhatsApp to confirm Super Mario Odyssey for your Switch 2 before ordering. On a Switch Lite, Nintendo says the play experience may differ and extra accessories may be needed, such as a second controller for two-player play. The card itself fits every Switch model.
Who should buy Super Mario Odyssey and who should skip it?
Super Mario Odyssey suits families, children who can read simple on-screen prompts, and adults who want a long single-player game with no online pressure. It also suits first-time Switch owners who want to see all three play modes at their best. Skip it if you mainly want competitive online play with friends across Kenya; a sports title such as NBA 2K25 fits that better. Skip it too if you already own it on another account, since a second copy adds nothing new.
Does Super Mario Odyssey work with amiibo figures?
Yes, Super Mario Odyssey supports amiibo, the Nintendo figures that unlock extras when tapped on the console. Nintendo lists amiibo support on the game's product page, and figures are sold separately. You tap a figure on the right Joy-Con or the Pro Controller to use it. Amiibo are optional, so the full adventure is playable without one. If you already own Mario figures, ask our team on WhatsApp which ones you have and we will help you put them to use.
Is Super Mario Odyssey still worth buying in 2026?
Yes, Super Mario Odyssey remains worth buying because it is a complete adventure that does not depend on servers, yearly rosters or a membership. Nintendo describes it as the first sandbox-style 3D Mario game since Super Mario 64 and Super Mario Sunshine, which places it among the main entries in the series. A physical card can also be resold or passed on once you finish. Students at the University of Nairobi and USIU often buy it as the one long game they keep on their Switch through a semester.
