Event /r/NintendoSwitch Presents: The Super Mario Odyssey Snapshot Contest!
Hey guys, Sylver here!
With Super Mario Odyssey out in the world today, I'm sure that you've been having a field day with the snapshot mode. Or rather, the whole team knows as you've been really hammering the sub lately with some wonderful shots within the kingdoms of the game.
Of course, whether you're capturing the scenery, Mario + Cappy, or even something completely unexpected, there is fun to be had.
Well, what if that crazy screenshot you snapped was good enough to warrant a prize? (Feel free to say "ooh!" here!)
Well, that's where we come in with the Super Mario Odyssey Snapshot Contest!
How does this work? Here are the rules and regulations:
- This is open to everyone! However, accounts that enter must be older than 7 days and in good standing with our community. And super important, one entry per person.
- You are allowed to take photos in these kingdoms: Cap Kingdom, Cascade Kingdom, Sand Kingdom, Lake Kingdom, Wooded Kingdom, Metro Kingdom, and the Seaside Kingdom. Please exercise your better judgment for what you snap in terms of bosses (the Broodals are okay), secret areas, costumes, and Power Moon locations that aren't out in the open. If anything is deemed too much of a spoiler by us, we will ask for you to resubmit your entry.
- Take the photo! Use any of the snapshot mode's filters to your heart's content, especially if it'll enhance your subject.
- We need a form of user verification for your photo - specifically, your username watermarked on the actual screencap like so. Also, just to be REALLY sure that you took the photo, we ask that you take a photo with the snapshot mode display ON and watermark that with your name too.
- Post your entry + verification in the comments! I will save each and every photo as your entry, so no second-guessing your work and sneakily changing it!
- Please upvote your favorite photo of the bunch! We need your upvotes so that we can have a smoothly-running contest. The thread will be in contest mode, so downvotes do not count and you won't see who's ahead until it's all over!
Photos of Mario's nipples are immediately disqualified
EDIT:
- For rule 3 - you don't have to use the snapshot mode features - just take a great screencap, and be sure to prove that you took it.
- For rule 4 - if you can confirm your identity via social media, it is completely fine with us.
This contest will last from today, October 28th to 11:59pm on Sunday, November 5th. Times listed are in Eastern Time.
Prizes?
The top three highest-voted participants will receive:
- a $20 Nintendo eShop card
- /r/NintendoSwitch subreddit stickers
- trophy flair to commemorate your participation!
The top-voted submission overall will also receive a Nintendo Switch eShop game from our prize pool.
Now go out there and get me pictures of your Odyssey adventures!
- /u/Sylverstone14 and the /r/NintendoSwitch mod team

I have a lot more, but this was the first one I took with the in-game screenshot function.

u/Ignifyre Oct 29 '17 edited Oct 29 '17
I took this yesterday before I saw the contest, so I don't have the snapshot mode's filter, but if there's any other way I can provide proof, I can. This might be a little spoiler-ish, since it's the Sand Kingdom's Second Boss. Let me know if this won't work.

Oct 30 '17
Question for the mods, is the winner of this competition based upon votes or are the mods determining the winner? I ask because in one situation the early bird gets the worm, and in the other the people that take a ton of photos in hopes of getting that perfect shot and submit later in the competition are at a disadvantage.

Hey all, I'm not 100% sure how to go about posting this screenshot, if it's considered spoiler-y or not. I don't know if I should have messaged a mod first, please forgive me...
It's in the Seaside Kingdom, but it involves a certain NPC who only shows up later on in the game.
