Supper Mario Broth @MarioBrothBlog Despite looking much more detailed, the model for the coins in Super Mario Odyssey is actually 65% simpler than the one used in Super Mario Galaxy, due to taking advantage of modern rendering techniques. Details in image. This is a coin from Super Mario Galaxy. This is a coin from Super Mario Odyssey. 0 Ⓡ Although the coin from Super Mario Odyssey clearly looks more detailed than the one from Super Mario Galaxy, it actually has fewer polygons. The Super Mario Galaxy coin is fully modeled. Every ridge of the coin, both inside and outside, is actually present in the model as a polygon. The coin from Super Mario Galaxy has 268 triangles. The coin from Super Mario Odyssey has 96 triangles. Here is how the coins look in wireframe view. The Super Mario Odyssey coin, on the other hand, is a simple flat disc. None of the details like the inner ridge or the rectangle design are actually modeled. The way the realistic appearance of the Super Mario Odyssey coin is achieved is by simulating the flow of light using a normal map (left), which maps which direction the light is reflected in on each point of the model's surface, and the roughness map (right), which defines how matte or glossy the surface is at any given point. By applying both of these to a flat disc, detail can be "faked" in such a way that the polygon requirement is drastically reduced.

Trust me, most AAA gaming studios remember normal maps. They're used everywhere.
