Instead of the default game over screen players will simply see their currency decrease by ten every time they die. Once players are out of currency the same screen will appear, but the counter will not decrease.
The lack of a game over screen indicates that Nintendo is aiming to make the upcoming platformer as casual friendly as possible.
Super Mario Odyssey launches on October 27, 2017, for Nintendo Switch.
