Flying Frog Mario
Although the following glitch is completely random, it’s surprisingly a lot of fun. In order to uncover the secret of flying frog Mario, you will need to do the following. Firstly, you will need to locate a frog and approach it. The next step is to ‘ground pound’ the frogs head, this ‘ground pound’ needs to be done at the same moment as the frog is jumping. Immediately following your ‘ground pound’, you will need to hit him with Cappy. At this point Mario will take over the frog’s body. Not only will you will be a Mario possessed frog, but you also will be able to fly! What more could you ask for?
Cacti Dominoes For Coins
Even though collecting coins is the life blood of Mario, gathering them one at a time can be tiresome. In order to save ourselves some time, Mario can collect a large amount of coins by destroying cacti domino style. Firstly, head on over to the sand kingdom. Once you have located a row of cacti, you should position yourself in-front of the first cactus and facing the entire row of cacti. Lastly, you will need to throw Cappy at it. The first cactus will subsequently bounce on to the cactus next to it, and so on in a domino effect. Eventually, you will be rewarded generously with ample coins!
Hidden Wood in Wooded Kingdom
If hidden woods are your thing, then hurling yourself off the edge in the wooden kingdom would be highly recommended! Normally, this would result in death, but not this time. Instead, you will find yourself in a mysterious part of the kingdom. Being in the wood is very relaxing, besides for the T-Rex moving in and out of the darkness!
Mario 64 Power Stars – Secrets in Super Mario Odyssey

In light of this, we invite you to defeat Bowser and return to previously completed power moons. However this time instead of a moon you will be gifted with a genuine Mario 64 power star!
Old School Mario and Peach Graffiti
If you need more coins then obviously you should search for 8 bit versions of Mario and Peach in their cat suits painted on random walls. All you need to do is throw Cappy at them and you will be rewarded with hearts and coins!
