We're at E3 2017 covering the year's biggest gaming event. Be sure to check out all our coverage on our E3 2017 hub!

Nintendo promised a Super Mario Odyssey info-dump at this year's E3, and dump it did. With the help of a snazzy song, no less.

Mario's hat is a big deal in Odyssey. He uses it to attack enemies, boost-jump, and collect coins – but most intriguingly, Mario uses his hat to possess other creatures and enemies. The trailer shows him possessing a frog, Goombas, Bullet Bills, a businessman in New Donk City, and even a T-Rex. The Mario movie's legacy lives!

You can tip your cap at Super Mario Odyssey on October 27.
