Unlike some games where updates merely fix bugs, the Super Mario Odyssey update transforms the game into a "live" experience. Without version 1.3.0:
support, GameChat, and necessary patches to continue using online features like Luigi's Balloon World. NSP Update & Management
There is a persistent myth that the 1.3.0 update reduces graphical fidelity to improve performance. This is false. Super Mario Odyssey uses a dynamic resolution scaler that ranges from 720p to 900p docked. The update did not lower the ceiling or floor of this scaling. Instead, it optimized the speed of the scaling, preventing sudden drops when the action gets intense (e.g., during the Bowser fight in the Moon Kingdom).
