But the charm wore off once I made a more keen observation of what was actually happening in these scenarios. It initially comes off as quite romantic decades of squashing Goombas can have a sick, masochistic way of endearing one to the grumpy little dudes, so it’s nice to see them find true love in this war of violent ground-pounds and mind-control. Ostensibly overcome with infatuation at the sight of a strapping young mushroom-shaped lad, Goombette then relinquishes a Moon to Mario in disguise. In order to attain the Moon she holds, one must Capture one or more Goombas and make their way towards Goombette. The trouble is Goombette seems terrified of Mario and will rush off into thin air at the sight of him.
While some Moons are awarded after defeating bosses-and others are just lying around, almost unimportantly-there is always one in each Kingdom held by Goombette, a feminine pink Goomba in a large summer hat. Super Mario Odyssey is a phenomenal platformer brimming with purple coins and Power Moons to be found and collected. I especially appreciate each Kingdom’s Goombette puzzles but as I have come across more of these encounters, I have grown increasingly disturbed by the dark, twisted implications behind them. The longer I play, the more interesting the puzzles and obstacles seem to become. I have been playing Super Mario Odyssey regularly since its release last month, and I have yet to grow tired of the seemingly endless hunt for Power Moons.
