PrinceWatercress plays Super Mario Odyssey - Part 90 of 92


In this entry, we get the last Power Moons located in the Dark Side, then we use the Hint Art we found earlier for one last world tour.

First | Previous | Next | End

I capture the Poison Piranha Plant at the end of the video to complete the Capture List, because we're going all the way with this.

Dark Side

3. Breakdown Road: Hurry! - There is a platform behind the Odyssey with a scarecrow and a blue door. Throw your hat at the scarecrow to open the door. You'll be in the same room where you got "Down and Back Breakdown Road" and "Below Breakdown Road" in the Wooded Kingdom, except you won't have your hat, which will make things harder. You'll need to get the key, then make your way back to the beginning to get this Power Moon.

4. Breakdown Road: Final Challenge! - Just like in the Wooded Kingdom room, you'll need to outrun a Magnum Bill on the lower level of Breakdown Road to get to this Power Moon. Since you don't have your hat, you'll have no choice but to take the lower path and long jump to get this Power Moon. As a result, I go for Power Moons #3 and #4 at the same time.

5. Invisible Road: Rush! - Off to the side in the lowest part of the starting area in the corner where the binoculars are, there is a platform not only leading to some hint art (see above), but also a blue door that has to be opened by throwing your hat at a scarecrow as well as a Moon Rock Pipe. Throw your hat at the scarecrow and enter the blue door. You'll be in the same room where you got "Invisible Road: Danger!" and "Invisible Road: Hidden Room" from the Wooded Kingdom, but you won't have your hat, which will make things harder. You'll have to jump on the piranha plants to get rid of them, and you won't be able to get rid of the poison. Also, defeating the three big piranha plants will be a lot harder, although you can long jump from the exit platform to defeat the middle one. For the other two, you'll need to backflip or side somersault. For best results, get the Life Up Heart from the rock vegetable formation near the Rabbit Ridge pylon before coming here.

6. Invisible Road: Secret! - On the rotating platform before the three big piranha plants, there is a opening in the wall leading to a chest containing a Power Moon, just like in the Wooded Kingdom. You'll need to long jump to get to it, just like last time.

15. Found with Dark Side Art 1 - You'll need to look at the Hint Art for this Power Moon to unlock it, and all ten pieces of Hint Art can be found here. The Power Moon will be at the hill near the rocks in Fossil Fall Heights in the Cascade Kingdom, and you'll need to ground pound to get it. 

16. Found with Dark Side Art 2 - You'll need to look at the Hint Art for this Power Moon to unlock it, and all ten pieces of Hint Art can be found here. The Power Moon will be near the helipad and the yellow "no parking" zone near the Heliport checkpoint, and you'll need to ground pound to get it.

17. Found with Dark Side Art 3 - You'll need to look at the Hint Art for this Power Moon to unlock it, and all ten pieces of Hint Art can be found here. The Power Moon will be in the western entrance of the seed garden area in the Mushroom Kingdom, and you'll need to ground pound to get it.

18. Found with Dark Side Art 4 - You'll need to look at the Hint Art for this Power Moon to unlock it, and all ten pieces of Hint Art can be found here. This one is at the northwest corner of the Cloud Kingdom, and you'll need to ground pound to get it. This one is pretty particular as to where you need to ground pound.

19. Found with Dark Side Art 5 - You'll need to look at the Hint Art for this Power Moon to unlock it, and all ten pieces of Hint Art can be found here. This Power Moon is at the center of the arch in the Snowline Circuit area of the Snow Kingdom, and you'll need to ground pound to get it.

20. Found with Dark Side Art 6 - You'll need to look at the Hint Art for this Power Moon to unlock it, and all ten pieces of Hint Art can be found here. This Power Moon is located between the two columns near the Rolling Canyon checkpoint, and you'll need to ground pound to get it.

21. Found with Dark Side Art 7 - You'll need to look at the Hint Art for this Power Moon to unlock it, and all ten pieces of Hint Art can be found here. This spot is hard to find and is near the  Odyssey as well as near a cliff edge. You'll need to ground pound to get this one, and this one can be difficult to find.

22. Found with Dark Side Art 8 - You'll need to look at the Hint Art for this Power Moon to unlock it, and all ten pieces of Hint Art can be found here. This Power Moon is near a column in Peronza Plaza in the Luncheon Kingdom, and you'll need to ground pound to get it. 

23. Found with Dark Side Art 9 - You'll need to look at the Hint Art for this Power Moon to unlock it, and all ten pieces of Hint Art can be found here. This is found near the Water Plaza display window in the Lake Kingdom; go to the columns on the far right and ground pound the space between them for a Power Moon.

24. Found with Dark Side Art 10 - You'll need to look at the Hint Art for this Power Moon to unlock it, and all ten pieces of Hint Art can be found here. The Power Moon is in the ground in the Ruined Kingdom and is in the area with a lot of dirt near the Odyssey, and you'll need to ground pound to get it.

Mushroom Kingdom

80. Art Investigator - Collect 15 Power Moons using Hint Art. (There are 21 Power Moons in all.) This is the last one that you'll need to talk to the Archivist Toadette to get.

PrinceWatercress plays Super Mario Odyssey - Part 89 of 92


Now that the Broodals are gone for good, let's get some more Power Moons on the Dark Side.

First | Previous | Next | End

There are ten pieces of hint art once you go back down to Rabbit Ridge, and you'll find them scattered throughout the starting area. Use the ability to take snapshots of the hint art (or a phone camera) each time you see a new one, because you're going to need to keep track of which ones you've seen for ten Power Moons. The pictures are:

  1. Poochy in the Cascade Kingdom
  2. A picture of a Power Moon located near the yellow paint on a helipad in the Metro Kingdom
  3. A grid that looks like the garden where you planted the seeds in the Mushroom Kingdom showing where a Power Moon is
  4. A circle with several smaller circles indicating phases of the moon with a Power Moon in one of them; this is in the Cloud Kingdom, if you've been paying attention
  5. A picture of the festival in the Luncheon Kingdom. It is shown twice, with one subtle difference: a light blue Volbonnen in the upper-right corner of the left picture is absent in the right picture. Remember this for later.
  6. Poochy in the Ruined Kingdom
  7. A picture of some columns from the Lake Kingdom, the last three broken, with a Power Moon between the right-most columns.
  8. A picture of the ground near what seems like a rock wall in the Lost Kingdom
  9. A series of steps of where to go in the Seaside Kingdom that starts on the lower-right, then goes up, right and then back down. The steps are as follows: Talkatoo, the binoculars, three umbrellas, and two columns with a yellow X marking the spot for a Power Moon. There is a compass pointing north in the center of the picture.
  10. A picture of a wreath with the face of a citizen of the Snow Kingdom made out of wood in the center. Above the center of this emblem is an exclamation point, which seems to indicate where a Power Moon is.

7. Vanishing Road Rush - Off to the side where the pylon leading to Rabbit Ridge is, there is a cave with a scarecrow and a blue door. Throw your hat at the scarecrow to open the door. Once you're in, you'll need to hit the P switches on the floor and get from solid platform to solid platform as quickly as possible before time runs out and the road vanishes. If you can get to the end, you'll get a Power Moon. For the first section, you'll need to roll. For the second section, you'll need to be ready to triple jump and long jump. Ditto for the third section, but going for Power Moon #8 makes the third section a tad easier. Interestingly, this is the same area as "Motor Scooter Daredevil!" and "Full-Throttle Scooting!" from the Metro Kingdom, except it takes place at night and you have no scooter.

8. Vanishing Road Challenge - Near the end of the area where you can get Power Moon #7, there is a shortcut made of fallaway platforms that leads to another Power Moon. You'll need to take it, get the Power Moon before time runs out, and then long jump to the solid ground below so you can more easily get Power Moon #7 at the end. I'm still surprised I landed that backflip.

9. Yoshi Under Siege - Off to the side in the lowest part of the starting area in the corner where the binoculars are, there is a platform not only leading to some hint art (see above), but also a blue door that has to be opened by throwing your hat at a scarecrow as well as a Moon Rock Pipe. Enter the Moon Rock Pipe for this one. Here, you'll be in the same area as "Moon Shards Under Siege" and "Sharpshooting Under Siege" from the Metro Kingdom, but now you'll be playing as Yoshi and eating fruit to fill up a fruit meter for a Power Moon.

10. Fruit Feast Under Siege - As it turns out, there is enough fruit in the same area where you can get Power Moon #9 to fill up the fruit meter a second time. Do that for a Power Moon.

11. Yoshi on the Sinking Island - There is a Moon Rock Pipe off to the side in the lowest part of the starting area, and you may need to use the camera to find it. Take control of Yoshi and make your way up the island. You'll need to hurry and eat all the fruit you can find as the island starts sinking. Filling the fruit meter up will get you a Power Moon. Interestingly, this is the same area as "Hurry and Stretch" and "Stretch on the Side Path" from the Seaside Kingdom, but you now have Yoshi instead of an Uproot.

12. Fruit Feast on the Sinking Island - As it turns out, there is enough fruit in the area where you get Power Moon #11 that you can fill the fruit meter up a second time. Do that for another Power Moon.

13. Yoshi's Magma Swamp - There is a Moon Rock pipe behind some rock vegetable formations. Here, you'll need to take control of Yoshi and explore the area to eat some fruit. When you fill up the fruit meter, you'll get a Power Moon. Be careful on those platforms! Interestingly, this is the same area as "Magma Swamp: Floating and Sinking" and "Corner of the Magma Swamp" from the Luncheon Kingdom, but you now have Yoshi.

14. Fruit Feast in the Magma Swamp! - As it turns out, there is enough fruit in the area where you get Power Moon #13 that you can fill the fruit meter up a second time. Do that for another Power Moon.

PrinceWatercress plays Super Mario Odyssey - Part 88 of 92


In this entry, we head to the Dark Side at last. I end up spending more time than I would like, however.

First | Previous | Next | End

We're finally heading to the Dark Side in this video. There are 24 Power Moons here, but when you show up, all there is to do is the first Power Moon: "Arrival at Rabbit Ridge!" Until you complete this one, you won't be able to do anything else.

The first pylon near the Odyssey takes you to bunch of rabbits. This explains why they carry Power Moons, but it is still unknown how these rabbits make it to Earth. The path to the second pylon is full of vegetables made of moon rocks, and one of the stems of the rock vegetables will give you a Life Up Heart if you throw your hat at it. You'll also find an 8-bit Rosalina on the back of another set of rock vegetables.

The second pylon takes you straight to the path leading to all four Broodal battles. Once again, the same strategies apply, and when you make it to the top, you'll also have to face RoboBrood a second time. Once you beat RoboBrood, you'll be able to get Power Moon #1 ("Arrival at Rabbit Ridge!"). You'll also get the King's Crown and the King's Outfit for your wardrobe.

While you're expected to beat all of the Broodal battles in one shot, you can actually go back to where the Life Up Heart and the 8-bit Rosalina are to get your extra health back and pick up a couple of coins. As long as you do not die, none of the Broodals will re-spawn. If you do die, you're doing all of the battles all over again.

Before you enter the pipe leading to the RoboBrood battle, keep going to the right. You'll find a hidden alcove with Captain Toad in it. Talk to him for Power Moon #2 ("Captain Toad on the Dark Side!"). I accidentally enter the pipe before talking to Captain Toad, and as a result, I take the long way back just to get back to him. 

Why? When you beat the RoboBrood battle, there is a third pylon that pops up, and when you use it, you can go right to where Captain Toad and the RoboBrood is with it, with the other end being the entrance to Rabbit Ridge. Since I did everything like I was supposed to in my practice run for this video and I didn't accidentally enter the pipe to the RoboBrood battle like I did here, I didn't even the pylon existed. As a result, I fight all of the Broodals a second time.

1. Arrival at Rabbit Ridge! - Beat all four of the individual Broodle battles and the RoboBrood battle at the top of Rabbit Ridge to get this Power Moon (see above). 

2. Captain Toad on the Doctor Side! - Before entering the pipe that leads to the RoboBrood battle, go further to the right to find a hidden alcove and Captain Toad. Talk to Captain Toad for a Power Moon (see above).

PrinceWatercress plays Super Mario Odyssey - Part 87 of 92


In this video, we head back to the Mushroom Kingdom for a boatload of Power Moons.

First | Previous | Next | End

Since the Mushroom Kingdom does not have a Moon Rock, what you see there for both exploratory and achievement Power Moons is what you get. Since you have over 100 Power Moons here, that's all right.

If you explore all of the previous kingdoms and then head back to the Mushroom Kingdom, you'll see even more visitors.

The boombox near the Odyssey will have birds from every other kingdom surrounding it now. If you throw your hat at the Boombox, you'll be able to unlock "NCD Festival (Japanese)." This is the only way to get this track.

If you talk to the Toad on the bridge leading to the castle after talking to Peach and Tiara in every other kingdom, you'll find out that Peach and Tiara are on the front balcony. Talk to them one more time for a Power Moon.

Power Moons #44-#104 are the achievement Power Moons. We will miss out on one, and that is #80: Art Investigator. We won't be able to get this one until we head to the Dark Side. To get these, you'll need to talk to the Archivist Toadette near the throne inside the castle once for the explanation on the achievements, then talk to her again to start getting Power Moons.

42. Hat-and-Seek: Mushroom Kingdom - There are two Bonneters near the castle, and one of them will tell you that their friend has run off. Northwest of the castle, there is a Toad with a Bonneter's eyes on the back. Talk to the Toad from behind to reveal the Bonnetter and get a Power Moon.

43. Princess Peach, Home Again! - Peach and Tiara will be on the front balcony when you talk to them in every other kingdom.

PrinceWatercress plays Super Mario Odyssey - Part 86 of 92


In this entry, we clear out what is left of the Moon Kingdom in one video. Next time, we head to the Mushroom Kingdom for a boatload of achievement-based Power Moons.

First | Previous | Next | End

The Moon Rock for the Moon Kingdom is east of the Ringing-Bells Plateau checkpoint. Activating it will increase the number of Power Moons in the Moon Kingdom from 27 to 38.

22. Moon Kingdom Regular Cup - Koopa Freerunning will be near the Wedding Hall. Do some long jumps early on, and when you wall jump up to where the goal is, making sure Mario is slinding down the wall so you can do the wall jump. Mario's movement will be a bit delayed due to the moon's gravity, but it can definitely be done.

26. Peach in the Moon Kingdom - Peach and Tiara are near the bell at the Wedding Hall; talk to them for a Power Moon.

28. Mysterious Flying Object - Near the Wedding Hall is a UFO-like creature with a glowing light. Throw your hat at it and hit it for a Power Moon. If you miss, get close to where it stood and move the camera around to get it to re-spawn.

29. Hidden on the Side of the Cliff - This Power Moon is high up in the air near the Sphynx, and you can reach it with a wall jump or from a higher place. You can also use a frog.

30. Jumping High as a Frog - The eastern-most platform in the kingdom has a Power Moon floating high above. You'll need to capture a frog to get it.

31. Moon Kingdom Timer Challenge 2 - Near the Ringing-Bells Plateau, there is a scarecrow. Throw your hat at the scarecrow to cause blocks and a Power Moon to show up on the small platforms near the nearby bridge. Getting to the top of the block stack and getting the Power Moon is easy if you're quick enough.

32. Walking on the Moon: Again! - There is another Koopa Tracewalking mission after you activate the Moon Rock. You'll need to earn a minimum of 90 points to get this Power Moon.

33. Moon Kingdom Master Cup - You'll need to beat the Regular Cup and activate the Moon Rock for this one. If you can beat the Regular Cup, you can easily beat the Master Cup; just keep long jumping and watch your movements with the wall jumps at the end. If you need to, get the Rocket Flower near the end.

34. Taking Notes: In Low Gravity - Jumping to the right of where you find Power Moon #2 in the 8-bit area near the Odyssey, you'll find a treble clef. Grab it and get all of the notes before time runs out for a Power Moon.

35. Center of the Galaxy - There is a Moon Rock Pipe on the tall cliff near the Odyssey. Here, you'll enter another 8-bit area, and you'll need to jump from moon to moon and get to the area in the center for a Power Moon.

36. Edge of the Galaxy - Near the end of the area where you find Power Moon #35, there is another platform in the area that lets you jump to two moons rotating around each other. You'll find a Power Moon between the two moons. 

37. Navigating Giant Swings - There is a Moon Rock Pipe on the tall cliff near where the bunny is. You'll need to jump from swinging platform to swinging platform to get to the end for a Power Moon.

38. A Swing on Top of a Swing - After the second Astro-Lanceur in the area where you get Power Moon #37, there is a platform that you need to jump on instead of avoid. Jump upwards when it swings back down to land on another swinging platform. Nearby will be a stationary platform with an easy-to-miss Power Moon.

PrinceWatercress plays Super Mario Odyssey - Part 85 of 92


In this entry, we collect the last of the Power Moons in Bowser's Kingdom.

First | Previous | Next | End

47. From Crates in the Moat - The pool of water on the east side of the Main Courtyard contains come crates. Ground pounding one of them will reveal a Power Moon.

48. Caught on the Giant Horn - At the top of the keep, one of the horns will have a glowing light. Throw your hat at it for a Power Moon.

53. Bowser's Kingdom Timer Challenge 2 - On the east building near the Beneath the Keep Checkpoint, there is a scarecrow. Throw your hat at the scarecrow to produce a green column and a key. Land on the top of the column, get the key, then long jump to the Power Moon before time runs out.

58. Bowser's Kingdom Master Cup - The Master Cup is the same as the Regular Cup. If you can do what was done in the Regular Cup, you can win the Master Cup and get this Power Moon.

59. Searching Hexagon Tower - You'll need to use the slingshots on the west side of the Main Courtyard area to reach the Moon Rock Piper that leads to this Power Moon. You'll need to take control of a Dry Bones Paratroopa in order to collect five Moon Shards and get a Power Moon back at the top. Watch out for the rocks that come down.

60. Center of Hexagon Tower - Down at the bottom of Hexagon Tower, there is an alcove containing a key. Grab the key, then fly back to the top for a Power Moon.

61. Climb the Wooden Tower - The slingshots on the east side of the Main Courtyard area lead to the Moon Rock Pipe that brings you to this Power Moon. Capture a Pokio, then use your poking ability to climb your way up the tower. There will be other Pokios as well as spinning wooden columns that will complicate things. At the top, you'll find a Power Moon.

62. Poke the Wooden Tower - At the start of where you find Power Moon #61, you'll need to go down the rear end of the first wall and break some crates with a Pokio to find this Power Moon.

PrinceWatercress plays Super Mario Odyssey - Part 84 of 92


Now that the post-Bowser Moons are accounted for, it's time to activate the Power Moon and scour Bowser's Kingdom from beginning to end and get what's left.

First | Previous | Next | End

The Moon Rock in Bowser's Kingdom is near the Main Courtyard. Activating the Moon Rock will increase the amount of Power Moons in the kingdom from 45 to 62.

Also, I finally find the switch for the first gate. It never dawned on me that I could go back there and throw Cappy at a switch on the other side to open it.

46. Behind the Tall Wall: Poke, Poke! - In the Third Courtyard (Rear) area, there is an outside wall with a gold hexagonal hole in it. Take a Pokio and drop down to poke the hole, then get yourself back up to the roof for a Power Moon.

49. Inside a Block at the Gate - At the Main Courtyard, you'll need to take a Pokio and climb up to where the bomb balls are being spawned so you can poke them towards the checkpoint into metal boxes. One of the boxes near the Main Courtyard checkpoint has a glowing light, and destroying that box will reveal a Power Moon.

50. Small Bird in Bowser's Castle - A bird with a glowing light can be found on top of a building near the start. Throw your hat at the bird to get a Power Moon. If the bird flies away, just face Mario away from the edge of the roof and turn the camera around and zoom in on Mario, then get the camera back on the edge to get the bird to re-spawn.

51. Invader in Bowser's Castle - There is a Yoofoe where you fought Topper at the Main Courtyard Entrance. Make a Goomba stack to get to the top of the Yoofoe so you can land on the top of it when you release capture, and when you jump on the Yoofoe twice, you'll get a Power Moon. The Yoofoe will have four sets of blades instead of two on the second phase, so be careful.

52. Jumping from Flag to Flag - Behind the Main Courtyard Entrance checkpoint, there are flags suspended in mid-air and another keyhole tile. The line of flags to the left will have a key; jump from flag to flag, slide downwards when necessary, and make sure your back is always toward a flag when you jump. Do this to get the key, then do this again to get back and get the Power Moon.

54. Taking Notes: On the Wall - At the end of the Third Courtyard (Rear) area, there is a hidden platform hidden among the rooftops. Take control of a Pokio and grab the treble clef, then launch yourself off the wall to get the notes before the time runs out for a Power Moon.

55. Taking Notes with a Spinning Throw - There is now a treble clef where you fought Hariet at the Main Courtyard Entrance. For the first set of notes, throw your hat in a circle, then use your hat to grab the stragglers. For the second set of notes, run through the middle of each row while throwing your hat forward to quickly grab all the notes in one shot. For the third set of notes, you'll need to throw your hat in a circle and move around to get the stragglers while necessary, and at the same time, you'll need to long jump to each set. This one is a toughie, but it can be done. Getting all three sets of notes will net you a Power Moon.

56. Third Courtyard Outskirts - There is a Power Moon on the pylon path between Third Courtyard (Front) and Third Courtyard (Rear). Shake the controller near the circle of coins to get the Power Moon.

57. Stone Wall Circuit - In the Second Courtyard, there is a keyhole tile and a pylon on a nearby wall. You'll need to capture the pylon, un-capture it in the middle to get the key, recapture the pylon and then ride back upwards for a Power Moon.
