나 NINTENDO Odyssey also runs into problems when it gets too caught up in its own playfulness and forgets that there is, in fact, a real world out there. It has problems with cultural representation, largely in a desert-themed world that plays as a clumsy mashup of Latin American and Pacific Islander stereotypes. Its denizens are skeletons in Dia de los Muertos makeup, Maori-themed statues roam around the sand dunes, and to solve some challenges Mario has to dress up in a sombrero and poncho like a thoughtless college student at Halloween. This reads not so much as deliberate racial insensitivity as just just obvliousness: the game is so caught up in its own dream logic that it fails to recognize that these are real cultures that are being playfully considered, mashed together, and then tossed away an hour later. In a game that so thoroughly succeeds elsewhere in conjuring a world from imagination, it's a disappointing misstep.
