Mario’s wardrobe is getting updated again, with a baseball uniform and a somewhat obscure reference to Nintendo’s Japanese Super Famicom add-on, the Satellaview outfit.
Satellaview was a satellite modem that allowed players to download games to their console during a specific time slot using the satellite radio service of Nintendo’s then-partner, St. GIGA. It was released in Japan in 1995. You can watch Mario floating around in space in the Japanese commercial for it right here.
New special outfits have been added to the post-game shop in #SuperMarioOdyssey: Satellaview Suit & Helmet and Baseball Uniform & Batting Helmet! pic.twitter.com/gNakmxexfY
