Nintendothon Odyssey

Nintendothon Odyssey was a 5-day long charity marathon of Nintendo games for the benefit of charity: water.

The event was the seventh stream in the Nintendothon series, and returns after a year hiatus due to the COVID-19 Pandemic. It was themed around the Nintendo Switch game Super Mario Odyssey.

Nintendothon Odyssey ran as a part of the GFGC Splash of Summer campaign, which has raised a total of $2,811.00 thus far.

Format changes
Nintendothon Odyssey featured several format changes to fit the event's theme of Super Mario Odyssey.

The main concept of the event related to going on an "odyssey" around the world. Several different elements of the event were tweaked and otherwise renamed to fit this general concept. Nintendothon Odyssey's format changes for its theme were the most ambitious tweaks performed for a Nintendothon to date.

The primary incentive model for Nintendothon Odyssey was called Destinations. With this model, each day of the event "traveled" to a new locale called a Destination, which featured three unique donation incentives related to the location's theme named Attractions. After the day was complete, the stream departed the Destination, making its Attractions no longer available to be unlocked. As the event was five days in length, five different Destinations were featured, each sporting their own custom logo designed by Red and Ethan.

The Incentive Shop was the secondary incentive model for Nintendothon Odyssey. It took advantage of the "Rewards" feature on Tiltify, which allowed donors to "purchase" an incentive with their donation. The offerings in the Incentive Shop were the smaller-scale incentives typically offered on the Spincentive wheel.

The Spincentive Wheel did still make a return to Nintendothon Odyssey, however, featuring exclusive incentives in addition to those available in the Incentive Shop. Priced at $10 in the Incentive Shop, Spincentives were advertised as a way to potentially get a more expensive Incentive for a smaller donation.

Similar to the Leaflets system utilized at Nintendothon New Horizons, Stamps were uniquely shaped sticky notes that were placed behind the gameplay couch with the donor's name written on them. At Nintendothon Odyssey, there were five different stamp designs corresponding to the day's destination, encouraging viewers to return back and donate each day to collect all of the stamps.

Other tweaks made to fit the event's theme in promotional materials included:


 * The viewers were referred to as tourists and were set to go on the Odyssey Travel Package, a planned vacation organized by the Nintendothon Travel Agency.
 * The event's schedule was casually referred to as the Itinerary.
 * The event's attendees were referred to as the "Flight Crew", which included flight badges published on Social Media for each attendee in the lead-up to the event going live.
