Cappy can kill Mario with this Super Mario Odyssey glitch

[Marc]

So there's a glitch that makes Mario go bye bye in Super Mario Odyssey.

As you can see in the video, Mario is nowhere to be seen. According to what I've been reading, this is only possible in co-op mode with two players where one is Mario and the other is the hat.

How to :

Head to any kingdom which features a Piranha Plant enemy and feed it a rock (the one shown in this example is in the Luncheon Kingdom). Once this is done, capture the plant and then attack it with Cappy. The plant vanishes, seemingly taking Mario with it. The only way to make him return is to fast-travel to a previous checkpoint.

^ For those who want to give it a go before Nintendo patches it up.

I didn't expected that Odyssey have a glitch, in co-op multiplayer to be particular. Good thing that the game still treats as if Mario didn't lose the life literally (the heart meter is still counted as 3 according to the tweet shared earlier), but being 'taken down' by Cappy might be one of the most unusual glitch I've seen so far.

Wow. Didn't expect that. Well, guessing Nintendo will have it patched within the next week, cause they're no fun like that.

Until just now, I thought Mario Odyssey was fool proof.
