A recent study found that "Super Mario Odyssey" reduced depression symptoms more than cognitive training or standard treatments, with participants showing higher motivation and selective memory improvements.

A study conducted in Germany revealed that playing the 3D video game “Super Mario Odyssey” resulted in a more significant reduction in depression symptoms compared to participants who used a cognitive training computer program (“CogPack”) or underwent standard treatments for these symptoms. The study, published in Frontiers in Psychiatry, also found that participants in the 3D video game group exhibited higher levels of training motivation.

      If it’s a forced cheer then it’s a dishonest one. It’s obviously just a marketing trick to have happy-go-lucky characters and I can’t get behind it.
