Bubblainian, Super Mario Odyssey

Beach Volleyball is a minigame that appears in Super Mario Odyssey. It takes place on a court in the Seaside Kingdom near the Beach House. The Coach is on one side of the court, and he throws a Cheep Cheep beach ball to the other side at various locations. Mario must touch the ball to successfully return it, with every successful return tracked as the score. Cappy can also return the ball; he suggests throwing him at the ball during the minigame. Beach Volleyball starts when Mario walks onto the empty side of the court, prompting a camera angle change so the area is seen from above.

The minigame starts off slow, but it speeds up after every two hits until the ball has been returned 50 times. It is possible to spike the ball by throwing Cappy at it at close range while it is in the air. This causes a starburst effect and a noticeably faster return. The Coach drops a variable number of coins when he bounces back a spike. If the ball hits the ground, there is a brief moment where Mario and Cappy can still successfully return it. Past that, the minigame is lost and the score is reset. A "MISS" message is displayed to indicate this. Additionally, Mario cannot be capturing anything to play Beach Volleyball. The minigame does not start unless Mario is normal, and capturing anything immediately registers as failing the minigame. If Mario fails the minigame, he can restart either by using Cappy to send the ball back to the Coach or by walking off and back onto the court. The ball vanishes if left alone for too long, requiring the latter method to begin again.

There are two Power Moons that Mario can obtain from this minigame: The "Beach Volleyball: Champ" Power Moon is rewarded for hitting the ball fifteen times, and the "Beach Volleyball: Hero of the Beach!" Power Moon is rewarded for hitting the ball 100 times. The game also has an online leaderboard via the nearby Rankings Board.
