Super Mario Odyssey - Practice Mod
A simple guide to explain how to install the practice mod, how to uninstall it, and how to use it.
In this guide, I will assume that you know how to use a computer, how to use a FTP client, and all of the pre requisites other than SMO Practice Mod are already installed and ready to use.
Installation
Pre requisites
- A hacked switch
- Super Mario Odyssey v1.3.0 (the mod can work on SMO 1.0.0 but I did not tried it)
- A FTP client on your computer / phone
- Simple Mod Manager by Nadrino
- ftpd by Mtheall
- smo-practice by Fruityloops1, enhanced by MonsterDruide1 / Ontwikseltsaar / Tischel
Installation
Before any installation, you have to remove the SMO mod folder if you already tried to install another version of the mod :
- Delete
/atmosphere/contents/0100000000010000folder - Delete
/atmosphere/exefs_patch/practice-modfolder
And then, install the mod :
- Get the last release of smo-practice here (1.0.1 at the moment of writing this guide). You should have a
atmosphere.zipfile - Extract the content of
atmosphere.zipfile on your computer
(!) macOS users, be careful : when extracting, macOS adds shitty hidden.DS_Storefiles. You need to remove them, otherwise the game will not launch after enabling the mod (!) - Launch ftpd on your Switch
- Connect to your switch with your FTP client
- Send the
atmospherefolder content to/mods/Super Mario Odyssey/Practice(create every folders if they does not exists) on the SD card - Disconnect the FTP from your client
- Stop ftpd on your switch
Activation
- Launch Simple Mod Manager
- Go to “Super Mario Odyssey”
- Enable “Practice”

I will not describe every miscellaneous possibilities, since they are quite obvious.

Be careful, when you want to select a specific MechaWiggler pattern, you have to use D-Pad Left, since the selector is on “Reload scene” and “Wiggler Pattern” at the same moment.

Known bugs
Generally, story moons provoke bugs, so be careful.
- Bowser’s Kingdom :
- 1st story moon has no cinematic
- If you die after the 1st story moon, even if you re-take this story moon, you won’t be able to get past it : the bridge does not deploy and the gates does not open anymore. If you have a teleportation point after this moon, you’ll be able to continue but you won’t have to take the moon shards, the moon is already waiting for you.
