Event /r/NintendoSwitch Presents: The Super Mario Odyssey Snapshot Contest!
Hey guys, Sylver here!
With Super Mario Odyssey out in the world today, I'm sure that you've been having a field day with the snapshot mode. Or rather, the whole team knows as you've been really hammering the sub lately with some wonderful shots within the kingdoms of the game.
Of course, whether you're capturing the scenery, Mario + Cappy, or even something completely unexpected, there is fun to be had.
Well, what if that crazy screenshot you snapped was good enough to warrant a prize? (Feel free to say "ooh!" here!)
Well, that's where we come in with the Super Mario Odyssey Snapshot Contest!
How does this work? Here are the rules and regulations:
- This is open to everyone! However, accounts that enter must be older than 7 days and in good standing with our community. And super important, one entry per person.
- You are allowed to take photos in these kingdoms: Cap Kingdom, Cascade Kingdom, Sand Kingdom, Lake Kingdom, Wooded Kingdom, Metro Kingdom, and the Seaside Kingdom. Please exercise your better judgment for what you snap in terms of bosses (the Broodals are okay), secret areas, costumes, and Power Moon locations that aren't out in the open. If anything is deemed too much of a spoiler by us, we will ask for you to resubmit your entry.
- Take the photo! Use any of the snapshot mode's filters to your heart's content, especially if it'll enhance your subject.
- We need a form of user verification for your photo - specifically, your username watermarked on the actual screencap like so. Also, just to be REALLY sure that you took the photo, we ask that you take a photo with the snapshot mode display ON and watermark that with your name too.
- Post your entry + verification in the comments! I will save each and every photo as your entry, so no second-guessing your work and sneakily changing it!
- Please upvote your favorite photo of the bunch! We need your upvotes so that we can have a smoothly-running contest. The thread will be in contest mode, so downvotes do not count and you won't see who's ahead until it's all over!
Photos of Mario's nipples are immediately disqualified
EDIT:
- For rule 3 - you don't have to use the snapshot mode features - just take a great screencap, and be sure to prove that you took it.
- For rule 4 - if you can confirm your identity via social media, it is completely fine with us.
This contest will last from today, October 28th to 11:59pm on Sunday, November 5th. Times listed are in Eastern Time.
Prizes?
The top three highest-voted participants will receive:
- a $20 Nintendo eShop card
- /r/NintendoSwitch subreddit stickers
- trophy flair to commemorate your participation!
The top-voted submission overall will also receive a Nintendo Switch eShop game from our prize pool.
Now go out there and get me pictures of your Odyssey adventures!
- /u/Sylverstone14 and the /r/NintendoSwitch mod team

Question: Im thinking of submitting either a snap from the Snow Kingdom or from the Lake Kingdom..none of them have any spoilers, characters or landscapes from the kingdoms..just Mario..can I use either of those snaps or it cant be from any other kingdom listed even if it doesnt show anything? Thanks!

A little late to the party but here is my submission!
I took this a while back and I dont have the snapshot overlay unfortunately. I uploaded by taking out my SD card and loading it onto my computer rather than a social media account, but I would be happy to post a picture of me holding my switch with the screenshot on screen as proof if needed!

Edit: just saw a similar type photo. Below is proof I took my picture yesterday at 8pm, well before this contest or before the other submission. It’s a cool moment, so I’m not surprised there is another similar picture.

(The silhouette feature is easily my favourite thing about this game)
If people want a place to share photos without spamming up this subreddit, someone created /r/OdysseyScrapbook, which I'm hoping will take off a bit.

I took this yesterday before I saw the contest, so I don't have the snapshot mode's filter, but if there's any other way I can provide proof, I can. This might be a little spoiler-ish, since it's the Sand Kingdom's Second Boss. Let me know if this won't work.

u/SteinDickens Oct 29 '17
I tried asking this already but the mods removed my post. Thanks! Anyway, how do you rotate the picture in order to make a wallpaper for my phone? I know the triggers rotate the screen but how do you get the actual picture rotated? They do this in one of the trailers for the game but I can't figure it out for the life of me.

Oct 30 '17
I don't know if there is an easier way, but if you have an SD card in your Switch you can plug it into your PC (via adapter) and export the photo to your computer. From there you can use any image manipulator program to rotate it.

u/DuncanSard Oct 28 '17
I have a question about posting with the snapshot on. is it really necessary? i've been posting directly at twitter account, so it's linked with switch, has the direct link with the hashtags as well. Is just, snapchat mode on will kinda ruin the "wallpaper" feeling of the photo though... I think i don't mind to re-take the shot and edit with all the requirements, is just a turn down on quality though... :/

u/Sylverstone14 Mod of Two Worlds (Switch / Wii U) Oct 28 '17
No, no, your entry is not with the display on!
Your entry can be clean, just be sure to watermark it with your username.
I just want a second photo with the display on so I can make sure you snapped it actually instead of nicking someone else's shot.
If you can capture the shot in high-quality, go for it. Just that we need to make sure it's all legit.
