  I don’t know how you come up with this ideas, you are such a genius for bringing this subjects up, good video man, I will always look forward to watch your content. I would like your channel to have more recognition, though, but you’ll get there, You deserve it! :)

  At the very least, the lack of hub world in Odyssey can be excused by the fact it's supposed to be an odyssey.  You're travelling around the world.  Generally people don't travel around the world by leaving the US and going to France then returning to the US to go to Spain then returning to the US to go to Germany.

  IMO every level in Odyssey kind of feels like a hub world. Odyssey's Kingdom have far more in common with previous hub worlds than they do with the main levels

  I personally love the planet thing from Galaxy 2. Since the game is very linear, the limited hub world just felt more natural to me. Also I always loved the atmosphere- the fantastic music and colorful backgrounds give it such a happy vibe.

  My favorite Hub Worlds definitely have to be Peach's Castle & Delfino Plaza, exploring them and finding all the secrets is really fun to me

  One thing that really confused me when Odyssey came out was how I heard people criticizing Galaxy 2 for nerfing the hub world so much and basically scrapping the idea (fair enough), but then heard those people praising Odyssey for doing the EXACT SAME THING on STEROIDS, calling the hub world "old and outdated" and stuff. Okay, so it's old and outdated when Odyssey comes out and "it's a good thing" Odyssey got rid of it, but with Galaxy 2 it's bad that it didn't really have one? Huh?

  I like the analysis on how they become less prevalent in the newer titles. Great catch.

  Being able to see level locations at Sunshine’s plaza REALLY helps that immersion. Still remember seeing them when I was younger and knowing that I could play there soon, Pianta Park especially

  Honestly, I don’t see “lack of hub worlds” to be necessarily a bad thing

  Odyssey definitely has a hub world; most kingdoms are hub worlds anyway. Finding checkpoints is your exploration of them, and the bonus areas are like the actual levels. The moons in the overworld are just castle secret stars.

  Great analysis. I do miss the mystery and feeling of joy upon discovery that was in the hub world of 64. Still remember the feeling I had as a kid when I found a whole new world after hitting a ghost that was suspiciously larger than the rest. Such a sense of wonder.<br><br>Keep up the great work! :D
