Once all important save data has been backed up, it is time to factory reset the Switch.
* Open System Settings and navigate to the System section, then Formatting Options, and initialize the console.
* While setting up the initialized system, do not set up an Internet connection yet. Once finished with setup, navigate back to the System section of System Settings and disable Auto-Update Software. Then, proceed with setting up Internet.
* If you used save data transfer for backup, repeat the process used to back up your data to transfer it back to your Switch.
* If you used Nintendo Switch Online, first sign back into your Nintendo account. Then, in System Settings, navigate to Data Management, then Save Data Cloud. Redownload your save data for all games except Super Mario Odyssey.
You should now be able to play your desired version of Super Mario Odyssey with your other save data intact! When starting the game, the system will prompt you to update it, but you can simply decline.
