The free update for the Super Mario Odyssey game adds a new online minigame, new outfits for Mario, and new filters for Snapshot Mode.

After downloading the update and beating the main story, Luigi (Mario’s bro in green) will now show up in different kingdoms to give Mario a new challenge. To start Balloon World (Internet access required)*, you can seek out Luigi and have a nice chat with him. There are two modes in Balloon World: “Hide It” mode lets you hide a balloon somewhere in that kingdom, while “Find It” mode challenges you to find balloons hidden by other players from around the world. If you get good at hiding and finding balloons, you’ll also move up the online rankings!

Balloon World isn’t the only update: new outfits for Mario and new filters for Snapshot Mode have also been added. You can check out the different options, including a new Coin filter for a gold mine of photo ops.
