We recently played a bunch more of the simply delightful Super Mario Odyssey – catch our impressions here – and one of the best new features is the Snapshot photo mode that’s in the game. It’s a great way for Nintendo to showcase the very best that they can get our of their latest console.
It’s always enabled and you simply need to tap down on the D-Pad when you’re in control and to enter Snapshot mode. It’s not like you need a degree in rocket science from here on either, with simple camera controls to pan, zoom, turn and so on, as long as you stay within a particular range of Mario.
The filters are great, with some rather inventive effects like silhouette, pencil sketch, an oil painting filter and a  terrible yet brilliant smear filter. You can’t adjust focal depth, bokeh, aperture of any of the other settings you might find in other games, but you don’t need them in Odyssey to get the best out of it.
The full list of filters included are:
- No Filter
- Blur
- Blur x2
- Sepia
- Black & White
- Sharpen
- Smear
- Fish-Eye Lens
- Hypercolour
- Silhouette
- Cartoon
- Illustration
- Oil Painting
- Pencil Sketch
- Line Drawing
- NES
- Game Boy
- SNES
And now, I’d like to properly introduce you to a very good dog:
