GUYS, I'M A T-REX!!!!!!!!!!!

Odyssey is fantastic but it feels lacking in something and I can't put my finger on it. I think I just really miss Mario games having a unified hub world to tie it all together. Sunshine and 64 are GOAT for that alone.

there's nothing to suggest that T.rex couldn't have a feather covering of that kind. If anything it's more than likely considering philogenetic inference.

Incorrect.
Skin impressions for T-rex have shown it to lack feathers in area's other feathered dinosaurs would have them.

Which makes sense as they were much too big and feathers would trap excess heat.

They likely had some small amount of covering somewhere, but it would be a small % of their entire body based on current evidence.

It feels more alien then Mario Galaxy did. They overreacted to the NSMBification of the series, and made the kingdoms so distinct and unlike traditional Mario settings that it all feels disconnected. Only a handful of places really leave an impact beyond the initial "Lol, Mario doesn't fit here!" impression.

That might be it. I say this even as someone who loves Sunshine as his favorite 3d Mario, because in Sunshine he didnt fit, but it felt like he fit in more than he did in Odyssey. Also the lack of piantas or Nokis in Seaside kingdom made me sad.

Is it weird this gave me a boner?

I loved Bowser's side swept hair in this game. Fucking cute as hell to see that under his hat.

they hired this man

>Skin impressions for T-rex have shown it to lack feathers
Absence of evidence doesn't equal to evidence of absence. Those skin impressions don't tell you filamentous feathers couldn't have grown on its body. Also it's debated whether those skin impressions are actually scales or taphonomic artifacts.
>Which makes sense as they were much too big and feathers would trap excess heat.
Still no official study for this, also the pic I posted doesn't have a covering that would overheat the animal in any considerable capacity, so it's still plausible.

It doesn't help that most of the kingdoms have really weak level design. Everything is floating island connected to a bunch of tiny side stages. It feels like they tried to make almost every area a HUB in of itself, which badly diluted them. My favorite kingdoms were the Wooded Kingdom and Lost Kingdom, because they actually felt like tight levels without looking like contrived video game stages. Everything else just kinda ran together, especially with all the free power moons lying around.

I felt the same way for some reason, and while the clashing aesthetics probably contribute a lot like said, I think it also has to do with the design choices they made. Most of the levels seem too large, and putting in like 100 moons instead of a couple per level like in 64 and Sunshine makes it feel like there's no structure, you're just running around this weird area doing little Korok Seed puzzles for trinkets.

There's nothing to suggest that a T-Rex couldn't have had a neon afro either.

The fact that this motherfucker has forward facing eyes
Just imagine this thing staring you down.

I feel that about the power moons. Ultimate example of quantity over quality. Just hide some fucking coins like a normal Mario game would.

But we have no fossil evidence of neon afros in Tyrannosauroidea, unlike feathers.

I want an odyssey sequel but I don't know how they'd do it without feeling the same.

Having a really powerful jaw and huge size is based, really is, but have you considered just throwing pointy rocks?

Throwing weapons mean jack shit to the hide of a T-Rex. Unless it was a metal one with enhancing for piercing. T-Rex was living alongside Ankylosaurus who could've permanently cripple a Rex and Triceratops who was one of the most dangerous herbivores to exist. These animals are basically otherworldly beings we know little about, I doubt our sharp rocks did any damage to large dinosaurs

Do these look like the eyes of something with mercy?

So T-Rex was too large to support feathers unlike it's smaller relatives?
