'''Assist Mode''' is a mode in Super Mario Odyssey that makes the core gameplay easier in various ways. Its most prominent feature is placing Mario in a bubble and carrying him back to safety if he ~~falls into~~ a ~~void~~, lava or poison. Due to this bubble feature, Assist Mode is often used to perform certain difficult tricks in isolation in order to reduce the time needed to ~~reset~~ the trick.

'''Assist Mode''' is a mode in Super Mario Odyssey that makes the core gameplay easier in various ways. Its most prominent feature is placing Mario in a [[bubble]] and carrying him back to safety if he touches a [[death plane]], [[lava]] or [[poison]]. Due to this bubble feature, Assist Mode is often used to perform certain difficult tricks in isolation in order to reduce the time needed to reattempt the trick.

== Changes ==

Assist Mode makes the following changes to the gameplay:

* A logo with the words "Assist Mode" is added to the HUD in the bottom-right corner of the screen.

* A logo with the words "Assist Mode" is added to the [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HUD_(video_gaming) HUD] in the bottom-right corner of the screen.

* Visual arrows will appear within the world to guide the player to the next objective. Sometimes, if the player is too far away from the arrow path, a guiding arrow will appear above Mario's head instead.

* Mario has six health points by default, rather than three. Collecting a [[Life-Up Heart]] will increase this to nine.

* If Mario stands still for a brief period of time, his health will begin recharging.

* If Mario ~~falls into~~ a ~~void~~, lava or poison with at least two health remaining, he will be placed into a [[bubble]] and carried back to the last "safe spot" he touched on land, at the cost of one health point.

* If Mario touches a [[death plane]], [[lava]] or [[poison]] with at least two health remaining, he will be placed into a [[bubble]] and carried back to the last [[safe spot]] he touched on land, at the cost of one health point.

* Mario does not have an oxygen meter while underwater, and therefore cannot drown.

* Mario will automatically grab ledges if the player walks off of them, regardless of speed, unless there is another platform not too far below the ledge.

* Timer Challenges and Taking Notes challenges ~~will~~ have an extended timer.

* [[Timer Challenges]] and [[Taking Notes]] challenges have an extended timer.

* While jetting water as a [[Gushen]], 0.13% of the Gushen's total water capacity will be used per frame, rather than 0.2%.<ref>https://twitter.com/relaxmas1/status/1495943850816323584</ref>

* Within the [[Jaxi]] ~~driving course~~ level in [[Sand Kingdom]], the Jaxi will respawn at the beginning of the level if it falls into the void, or if Mario is placed into a bubble.

*[[Bound Bowl]] opponents move at a slower rate.

* Within the [[Jaxi Driving]] level in [[Sand Kingdom]], the [[Jaxi]] will respawn at the beginning of the level if it falls into the void, or if Mario is placed into a bubble.

* When starting a [[Koopa Freerunning]] race, the Koopa will inform you that Assist Mode does not work during the race. All Assist Mode effects will be disabled during the race.

* In specific locations, the camera will automatically focus on certain objects.

*In two specific locations, Mario's movement will be locked to a certain plane. One such location is above the quicksand pillars in the [[Tostarena Ruins]], and the other is on the path to the [[Rango]] fight above the [[Water Plaza]] in the [[Lake Kingdom]] (this location only takes effect before Rango has been defeated).

*Bound Bowl racers move at a slower rate.
