Watch: 5 things you may have missed in Super Mario Odyssey's trailer

Keep it under your hat.

The announcement trailer for Super Mario Odyssey is pretty full on - it barely gives you time to register that Mario is in a proper city before dashing off to a series of strange and colourful environments. Oh yeah, and Mario rides a lion at one point.

Stop and look around you, however, and you'll find the relatively short trailer is absolutely stuffed with information that points towards not only a substantial adventure, but also a rather interesting trip down memory lane for the pot bellied plumber.

Although we did fail to answer the biggest question about Odyssey - If Mario's new hat is alive, is Mario's head in its mouth or its bum? - we did spot quite a few secrets and references to Mario's older adventures, all of which we've packaged neatly in the video below.
