* Grand Dad! [[WesternAnimation/TheFlintstones FLINTSTONES]]?![[labelnote:Explanation]]Let's just say, that Mario's Caveman outfit reminded fans of a well known bootleg of ''VideoGame/TheFlintstonesTheRescueOfDinoAndHoppy'' called ''7 Grand Dad'', in which Mario seemingly replaces Fred Flintstone.[[/labelnote]]

** This goes double for playing through the Wooded Kingdom in particular, which gets a lot of jokes about its resemblance to ''Nier Automata'' (in particular the flowers and the factory areas), as well as the final battleground of ''VideoGame/MetalGearSolid3''.

* [[DrivenToSuicide Mario jumps off a building]] [[labelnote:Explanation]]Shots of Mario diving off buildings in New Donk City are used as shorthand for [[SuicideAsComedy the poster (jokingly) being driven to suicide by a piece of content]]. Some variations include a two-panel format with Mario giving an AsideGlance next to a computer, then diving off a bulding, or a four-panel format in which Mario is positioned so that it appears he's looking something up on the internet, the subsequent panel being something off-kilter or disturbing, and the last two panels being the AsideGlance and plummet off the building.[[/labelnote]]

* you dropped this [[labelnote:Explanation]]A frequent reaction meme showing Mario in the Cap Kingdom and "holding" something that was supposedly dropped by the user being replied to. The two most common variants are Mario holding a "[[https://i.imgflip.com/3jq8z8.jpg clown license]]" if the original user said something disagreeable or Mario holding a crown with the caption "[[https://stayhipp.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/06/droppedthis.jpg you dropped this KING]]" for the opposite.[[/labelnote]]

Uncanny Valley is IUEO now and the subjective version has been split; cleaning up misuse and ZCE in the process


* The game has invited many comparisons to ''VideoGame/SonicAdventure'', especially with how Mario runs around in a huge city with realistic-looking humans. It also draws comparisons to ''VideoGame/SonicUnleashed'' (which also had a level based on New York, as well as ''Odyssey'' taking a small amount of the former game's "'round the world" style) and ''[[VideoGame/SonicTheHedgehog2006 Sonic '06]]'' ([[UncannyValley because]] [[NeverLiveItDown of course it does]]). The second trailer which revealed the game has a ''vocal theme song''. To further compound the comparisons to the ''Sonic'' series, [[Creator/KateHiggins the singer of said vocal theme song]] used to voice Tails, which hasn't gone unnoticed either. Fans were quick to nickname ''Super Mario Odyssey'' as ''Mario Adventure'', ''Mario '06'' (or ''Mario '17''), and ''Mario Unleashed''.

* With the announcement of the new Toys/{{amiibo}} for this game, there's been plenty of jokes about [[OneTrueThreesome Mario, Peach, and Bowser all getting married together]], or buying [[FoeYay just Mario and Bowser to have a gay marriage.]]

With the massive amount of hype surrounding VideoGame/SuperMarioOdyssey, it should be no surprise that the game spawned enough memes to rival the game’s [[PlotCoupon Power Moon]] count.

* "Mario finally made it back to Brooklyn!" due to New Donk City's resemblance to New York.
* On that note, the name "New Donk City" itself.
* Bowser's stylish new suit by itself has reached this, leading to a number of pimp and ''Manga/JoJosBizarreAdventure'' jokes.
* Quite a few jokes [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ih323XXu_3w have been made]] comparing the city levels to ''VideoGame/GrandTheftAuto''.
* Mario's hat now has eyes, reminding fans of ''Creator/{{Rare}}'' (and by extension, ''Playtonic Games'')'s tendency to put eyes on inanimate objects. Playtonic even commented on this in [[http://twitter.com/PlaytonicGames/status/819936399839346688 a tweet.]]
* The sight of Mario and Bowser tossing their hats like boomerangs have also provoked comparisons to [[Film/{{Goldfinger}} Oddjob]] and [[Manga/JoJosBizarreAdventurePhantomBlood Robert E. O. Speedwagon]], with a few going as far as to nickname the game "Super Mario Oddjob".
* ''T. Rex'' Mario became this almost immediately after the game's E3 trailer, thanks to the sheer insane factor in his appearance in the trailer (complete with Mario hat and mustache) and being an awesome addition to the game.
* Related to the ''T. Rex'', jokes that it is Yoshi are prominent, which is both a MythologyGag and HilariousInHindsight because Yoshi was a realistic baby ''Tyrannosaurus'' in the live-action ''Mario'' movie. [[spoiler:It's made even ''more'' HilariousInHindsight by Yoshi also being in the game, and Capturable to boot!]]
* [[WesternAnimation/MeetTheRobinsons "I have a big head and little arms!"]] has picked up steam with Mario's demonstration of the Capture ability (which lets him control creatures, people, and objects with his hat) on a Tyrannosaurus Rex, with other comparisons [[http://i2.kym-cdn.com/photos/images/newsfeed/001/265/113/98e.png following suit]].
* With the announcement of the new Toys/{{amiibo}} for this game, there's been plenty of jokes about [[OneTrueThreesome Mario, Peach, and Bowser all getting married together]], or buying [[FoeYay just Mario and Bowser to have a gay marriage.]]
* Mario looking unnatural compared to the regular humans of New Donk City and his newfound ability to possess people has led to jokes about him [[HumanoidAbomination not being human]].
* There's also jokes about how Mario is actually the hat, and has been possessing the corpse of an Italian man for 30 years.
* [[https://twitter.com/moonjam/status/874665534058631168 "u throw ur hat on a frog & ur the frog".]] This gained even more traction when frogs turned out to be the very first thing Captured in the game.
* Mario's new [[GrandTheftMe Capture ability]] has inspired people to create edits and fanart of practically ''anything'' and putting Mario's hat, mustache, and/or blue eyes to show that he's possessing them. These types of edits and fanart have been used for both humor and... [[Rule34 other things]].
* After the 9/13 Direct showed off a costume of Mario in swim trunks, many have been focusing on Mario's nipples, and, to a lesser extent, the fact that he's hairless, aside from his head and facial hair.
* It's been joked that the lyric, "It's time to raise our sails" is actually Nintendo declaring, "[[KillerApp It's time to raise our]] ''[[KillerApp sales]]''."
* [[https://www.independent.ie/entertainment/games/reviews/super-mario-odyssey-review-marvellous-mario-embarks-on-his-greatest-adventure-36262391.html A review]] that gave the game a ''[[BrokeTheRatingScale 6/5]]'' garnered some buzz.
* The fact that Cappy (when possessing Mario's hat, at least) is a sentient piece of clothing with eyes with a red and black motif, combined with Bowser's tux having a white and blue color scheme, have led to people making joking comparisons between ''Odyssey'' and ''Anime/KillLaKill'' (combined with some bizarre fanart).
* "[[WesternAnimation/RickAndMorty I've turned myself into Mario, Morty!]]". Mario's MadScientist outfit with wildly messy white hair and an open doctor's coat has resulted in a number of comparison jokes to [[WesternAnimation/RickAndMorty Rick]].
* Thanks to [[spoiler:his castle having a heavy {{Wutai}} aesthetic]], jokes about Bowser becoming a weeaboo have become pretty popular.
* The [[spoiler:[=RoboBrood=] boss has been jokingly compared to the Metal Gear mechs]] in the ''Metal Gear'' series.
* The game lets you mix and match hats and outfits. This resulted in people [[http://i0.kym-cdn.com/photos/images/original/001/308/733/1f3.png mixing]] the Cowboy Hat with the Caveman costume and making [[WebVideo/TheMisadventuresOfSkooks "the caveman is the sheriff"]] jokes.
* If you watch someone livestream the game, you can expect the chat to light up with "[[Videogame/NierAutomata BECOME AS GODS]]" whenever Mario captures anything.
** This goes double for playing through the Wooded Kingdom in particular, which gets a lot of jokes about its resemblance to ''Nier Automata'' (in particular the flowers and the factory areas), as well as the final battleground of ''VideoGame/MetalGearSolid3''.
* After hearing the awesome theme to "Honeylune Ridge: Escape", many have declared that Mario's anime theme is awesome, due to it sounding like it belongs in one, especially its Japanese version.
* "Hey you we ma tard!"[[labelnote:Explanation]]Rango's dialogue in the Lake Kingdom is almost ''always'' misheard by major [=YouTubers=] as this line. You can expect most [=YouTubers=] to say this almost immediately after hearing this line.[[/labelnote]]
* Other mishearings include the New Donker Crazy Cap employee [[SpeakingSimlish "saying"]] "[[SoulSuckingRetailJob I just want to die]]", and Topper yelling "[[PrecisionFStrike Go to hell!]]" before the Robobrood boss fight.
* Due to the large variety of costumes, hats and scenarios in the game, some fans started recreating covers from movies, mangas and comics, or just iconic scenes using the screenshot feature. Examples include: [[https://i.redd.it/yreua5ok7mzz.jpg It]], [[https://i.redd.it/4c2r459synzz.jpg The Wolf of Wall Street]], [[https://i.redd.it/0ez57t1h3ozz.jpg The Room]], [[https://i.redd.it/d4w7rw12znzz.jpg E. T.]], [[https://i.redd.it/sly5aqdctmzz.png Gravity]], [[https://i.redd.it/qc6t41bihnzz.jpg Jaws]], and [[https://imgur.com/gallery/XcDX9 Akira]].
* "(Comment about Mario's costume). Not that it matters, since you WEREN'T INVITED! So now it's time for you to make like a bouquet and get thrown out!"[[labelnote:Explanation]]Before the final battle with Bowser, he will [[LampshadeHanging make a comment about the costume you're wearing]], and then say the following line.[[/labelnote]]
* [[DrivenToSuicide Mario jumps off a building]] [[labelnote:Explanation]]Shots of Mario diving off buildings in New Donk City are used as shorthand for [[SuicideAsComedy the poster (jokingly) being driven to suicide by a piece of content]]. Some variations include a two-panel format with Mario giving an AsideGlance next to a computer, then diving off a bulding, or a four-panel format in which Mario is positioned so that it appears he's looking something up on the internet, the subsequent panel being something off-kilter or disturbing, and the last two panels being the AsideGlance and plummet off the building.[[/labelnote]]
