YouTubers and Twitch streamers like Cjya and SmallAnt are using a mod to play hide-and-seek in Super Mario Odyssey. It’s my favorite way to watch Mario now.
Super Mario Odyssey is one of the most delightful 3D Mario games. Flourishes such as Mario being able to ride a moped through a place called New Donk City, or the fact that you can turn into a whole dang dinosaur and smash through worlds, distinguish it even among the fierce competition of other Mario games. It has always been good, but now a group of content creators are playing it in an entirely new way by turning its colorful world into a giant playground for hide-and-seek.
In a video called “Mario Odyssey Hide and Seek just got CLASSIC,” YouTuber and streamer Cjya, a creator known for speedruns and challenge runs of Mario games, joined up for a lighthearted stream playing a modded version of the game with five other streamers: SmallAnt, Fir, GrandPooBear, EazySpeezy, and CraftyBoss925.
The group is a chaotic mix of players with high technical abilities who like to put unique spins on streaming Nintendo games. GrandPooBear became well known for his ability to beat super difficult Mario ROM hacks and his completion of a marathon of expert levels in Super Mario Maker 2.
