Nintendo has posted another brief GIF to the Japanese Super Mario Odyssey Twitter account. The latest update focuses on the action of crouching.

Crouching can be used to avoid enemy attacks. Additionally, you can move through tight spaces that you wouldn’t be able to access normally.

The GIF, posted below, also gives us a new look at New Donk City at night.

The ARMS Twitter account just posted another update containing the image above. It certainly looks like a new stage, doesn’t it?

The tweet has Biff talking about being on vacation and hearing that there is a fighter around here. He also mentions the sweet scent and exoticism in the air.

Everything points to this being related to a new fighter, who will likely be accompanied by a new stage as well. It does line up with what we heard from the datamine last week.
