8 years later, Super Mario Odyssey players are still getting awed by the discovery that you can destroy metal crates by turning into a bird and pecking them 200 times

It's been almost eight years since Super Mario Odyssey arrived for the Nintendo Switch back in 2017, and still to this day players are tearing the game apart, turning it into one of the most impressive speedrun games of all time (just behind its grandpa, Super Mario 64).

It's gotten to a point now where new discoveries about the game are few and far between, with the current speedrun record sitting at just under an hour by Tyron18. But with this level of speedrun optimization and the lack of a proper new 3D Mario game (Bowser's Fury was just too short), players are making wild discoveries.
