PrinceWatercress plays Super Mario Odyssey - Part 43 of 92

We only have a few more Power Moons to collect before we are off to the next kingdom.

First | Previous | Next | End

When you enter the Odyssey, you'll be able to head to Bowser's Kingdom, but you'll also see Bowser's airship on the world map. That can't be good. We'll deal with that in the next video.

If you grab a Power Moon, Mario's hand will be in one of three positions: the peace sign with two fingers up, a closed fist or an open hand. These are references to Super Mario 64, Super Mario Sunshine and Super Mario Galaxy respectively.

You can look around with the right stick when flying around in the Odyssey. It has no effect on gameplay.

Power Moons

10. Atop a Column in a Row - On top of the columns in the Peronza Plaza, there is a glowing spot. Use the food-shaped rocks to get up top, then get to the column near all of the lava and ground pound the top for a Power Moon.

12. Island of Salt Floating in the Lava - There is a small island with a glowing spot atop the salt hill near the Salt-Pile Isle checkpoint. Ground pound that spot for a Power Moon.

13. Overlooking a Bunch of Ingredients - This Power Moon can be grabbed near Peronza Plaza if you can perform a cap jump to the top of the slot machine building and backflip, wall jump and dive jump your way up to the top. 

20. Luncheon Kingdom Timer Challenge 3 - Behind the Stark of the Peak Climb checkpoint, there is an island with a scarecrow. Throwing your hat at it will reveal two tilting platforms and a key. Tilt the platform so you can get the key with an overhead jump, then long jump your way to the Power Moon before time runs out.

34. The Treasure Chest in the Veggies - Near the Path to the Meat Plateau checkpoint, there is an easy to miss door near the lava. Inside is a chest you can open with your cap for a Power Moon.

36. Taking Notes: Big Pot Swim - Return to the pot where you fought the Cookatiel after beating the Cookatiel. Clear out the stew chunks by running into them, then run into the treble clef to start collecting notes. Hold down Y the whole time as you jump and control where you are in the air at will as you collect the notes and you'll soon have another Power Moon.

49. Found with Luncheon Kingdom Art - You'll need to find the Hint Art here to unlock this. Go to the Seaside Kingdom, warp to the Ocean Trench East checkpoint, then swim straight to the west and ground pound the highest platform for a Power Moon.

We complete all of the storyline missions and get all of the Regional Coins, but we're not done here yet.

Cookatiel Showdown!

Once you make your way through the door, you've got a path leading straight to the Cookatiel. Some of the islands that you'll need to land on will be moving, so watch your shadow as you jump. If you go off the beaten path, you'll find a chest containing dozens of regular coins.

You'll eventually reach another checkpoint. Hit it, then use your hat to flick your way up. There are some paths that lead to Regional Coins; thankfully, I've timestamped where they are, as always. Some of the platforms will flip back and forth between solid and lava. There will also be rolling vegetables that you will have to avoid as you walk down a narrow precipice on the way to the top.

You'll eventually reach the top, and once you're there, you'll need to jump into a cannon as a Lava Bubble to get to the Cookatiel. When the battle begins, avoid the Cookatiel and the spiky balls that it spits out as you knock down the potato chunks in the stewpot to give yourself more room to maneuver. This will net you regular coins as well as the occasional Heart. When the Cookatiel flies in place, it will spit out lava that you will have to to jump into and then move upwards in order to jump on the Cookatiel's head and do damage. The lava spit will have different patterns for each phase; the first phase will have a straight waterfall, the second will have a wavy waterfall, and the third will be globs of lava that you have jump from one to the next to get to the Cookatiel, which makes landing the final hit a little more difficult compared to the first two. After three hits, the Cookatiel goes down and you'll get Power Moon #5.

Once the Cookatiel is defeated, you're free to do what you want to do in the kingdom as well as advance to the next one.

5. Cookatiel Showdown! - Beat the Cookatiel (see above for strategies) for a Multi-Moon.

27. A Strong Simmer - Buy and equip the Chef Hat and Chef Suit at the Crazy Cap Shop in Peronza Plaza, then head to the locked door at the building next door. Since you're dressed as a chef, you'll be able to go in. Capture a Lava Bubble and jump into the nearby stewpot, then travel to the center of the pot and jump straight up to get the Power Moon.

28. An Extreme Simmer - In the same area where you get Power Moon #27, you'll need to take a Lava Bubble to the very end of the area. Destroy the Tomato enemies in such a way that you can create a path to the lava - and the stewpot - on the other side. When you jump into the stewpot here, position yourself in the center and jump straight up just like last time to get this Power Moon.

32. Light the Far-Off Lanterns - I didn't know what I did until later, so here it is: when you're back outside, kick a rock towards the Piranha Plant at the beginning of the path to the Cookatiel so it lands in the Piranha Plant's mouth. You can then take control of the Piranha Plant and spit fire at the two lanterns to get this Power Moon.

33. Bon Appétit, Captain Toad! - Captain Toad is on an island close to the edge of the kingdom near the path to the Cookatiel. You'll need a Lava Bubble to reach him. Talk to Captain Toad once you get there for a Power Moon, then take the nearby cannon as a nearby Lava Bubble to make your way back to where you left off.

35. Caught Hopping at the Volcano! - There is a Bunny near Peronza Plaza after you defeat the Cookatiel. You'll need to catch it for a Power Moon. Be ready to throw your hat as well as corner the bunny a little bit, as there are a lot of walls that the bunny can get caught near.

48. A Tourist in the Luncheon Kingdom! - You'll need to  defeat the Cookatiel and have gotten the "A Tourist in the Cascade Kingdom!" Power Moon to get this one. When you return to Peronza Plaza after defeating the Cookatiel, the Tostarenan tourist and his taxi driver will be there. Talk to the tourist for a Power Moon. The tourist will then hint at where he wants to go next, which you won't get to until a little later.

Our adventures in the Luncheon Kingdom continue...

Climb Up the Cascading Magma

If you explore the lava in this area, you'll find out that there are vegetable chunks all over the level that you can run into for regular coins. You'll also find cannons that will launch you into the air if you jump into them. You'll be able to see the launch path before you press A to launch yourself, and you can get out of the Lava Bubble mid-flight to get to other places in the flight path if necessary.

After heading towards the Meat Plateau in the north end of the kingdom, it's time to head towards the northwest corner. You'll need to get in the lava as a Lava Bubble and take a cannon over a gap that takes you to the lava to the west of the village. From here, you'll be able to platform your way to the next area you need to get through. You'll also have to go through an 8-bit area before entering a cave and going up a lava waterfall with a Lava Bubble. Watch out for the logs! 

Near the switch that unlocks Power Moon #2, there are some mountains you can climb up for some Hint Art. This shows Poochie underwater in the Resort Kingdom. Remember this for later.

Power Moons

4. Climb Up the Cascading Magma - In the cave leading to the northwest corner of the kingdom, you'll need to leap into an unlit lantern with a Lava Bubble. Doing this will give you a Power Moon, open up the path ahead and advance the plot.

8. Atop the Jutting Crag - Near Salt-Pile Isle, there is a cannon you can jump into as a Lava Bubble that is surrounded by small hill-like mounds. Jump into the cannon and launch yourself, and when you're above the mountain in the middle of the launch path, get out of the Lava Bubble and land on the mountain to get this Power Moon.

11. Surrounded by Tall Mountains - There is a blue-green mountain near the Meat Plateau, and you can long jump to it and find a sparkle that you can ground pound for a Power Moon.

16. Golden Turnip Recipe 2 - In the area where you'll find Power Moon #8, there are a few turnips. The one in the center is golden. You'll want to open up a path back to the village with a Hammer Brother before you attempt this. Grab the turnip, then jump your way to the village while avoiding the enemies and their attacks. Throw the turnip into the blue stewpot, and you'll get the Power Moon.

18. Luncheon Kingdom Timer Challenge 1 - Above the Odyssey is a scarecrow. Throw your hat at it and wall jump your way to this Power Moon before time runs out.

19. Luncheon Kingdom Timer Challenge 2 - There is a scarecrow where you fought Spewart. Throw your hat at it, then use your long jump to get to the key and then back again to get this Power Moon before time runs out.

29. Alcove Behind the Pillars of Magma - As you're going for Power Moon #4, there is a gap in a wall near the lava geysers. Inside is a Power Moon.

30. Treasure Beneath the Cheese Rocks - There is a stack of cheese rocks near the Odyssey; breaking them with a Hammer Brother will reveal a Power Moon.

31. Light the Two Flames - There is a Fire Bro near the Odyssey. Take control of him, then take him to a dead with two lanterns. Light the lanterns with the Fire Bro's fireballs for a Power Moon.

We almost get the edge against the Cookatiel, but the Cookatiel has other plans.

First | Previous | Next | End

Big Pot on the Volcano: Dive In!

From where you get Power Moon #2, it's time to do some more exploring. On the way to the Meat Plateau, we also find...the Mushroom Kingdom? Yeah, we'll eventually head there, but not until after we finish the main game! You'll get a sneak peak at the place for now.

Near where you got Power Moon #2, there is a series of slopes that leads to a path that takes you directly to the Meat Plateau. At the end of the plateau is...well...meat. Throw your hat at the red circle on top of the meat, then keep pressing B to twitch. You'll twitch enough to get all the salt off of you and get dropped into a stew pot. Jump from diced vegetable to diced vegetable to get Power Moon #3...only to get blown off by the Cookatiel's powerful wings. You'll have to get to the Cookatiel some other way.

Luncheon Kingdom

3. Big Pot in the Volcano: Dive In! - When you take control of the big slab of meat at the top of the Meat Plateau and press B to twitch, you'll eventually get the Cookatiel's attention and you'll be dropped in a stew pot. You'll then have to platform from one diced vegetable to another to get this Multi-Moon.

14. Light the Lantern on the Small Island - On the path to the Meat Plateau, there is a lantern at the center of an island. You can either capture a Podaboo (which is called a Lava Bubble in this game, I just now found out) and jump at the torch like I did, or you can capture a Fire Bro elsewhere in the level and light the lantern to get this Power Moon.

17. Golden Turnip Recipe 3 - There is a golden turnip under a big cheese block near the Hat Door on the way to the Meat Plateau. Use a Hammer Bro to break the block, as well as to open a path leading up to the switch that let you get Power Moon #2. This will give you a shortcut back to the village, where you can throw the golden turnip into the blue stewpot to get this Power Moon.

21. Beneath the Rolling Vegetables - There is an 8-bit area in the Remote Island in the Lava. Take down the Hammer Brothers and avoid the Podaboos to get the Power Moon at the end.

22. All the Cracks Are Fixed - At the Remote Island in the Lava where you find Power Moon #23 (see below), there is a Volbonan who will tell you that all of the cracks in the island need to be flattened. Unfortunately, there are vegetables rolling around that will flatten you if they run into you. Flatten them all with a ground pound while avoiding the rolling vegetables, and you'll reveal this Power Moon when you get them all.

23. Taking Notes: Swimming in Magma - Near the ring of six Regional Coins in the lava, there is a treble clef. You'll obviously need a Lava Bubble for this. Swim through the long line of notes and you'll find a Power Moon on the island you come across.

39. Magma Narrow Path - On the way to the Meat Plateau, there is a hat door you can open. Take control of a Lava Bubble, then ford the narrow maze-like path of Pepto Bismol lava (yes, I'm calling it that) to get the Power Moon at the end of the area.

40. Crossing to the Magma - Shortly after the beginning of the Hat Door area on the way to the Meat Plateau, take out the two tomatoes and use them to get a Lava Bubble across the land to some isolated lava. Go up the lava for this Power Moon.

45. Spinning Athletics End Goal - There is a small island near the Remote Island in the Lava with a scarecrow. Throw your hat at the scarecrow to open the door, then get ready to jump your way over a bunch of small platforms that rotate 45 degrees at regular intervals. I made this look easier than it can usually be. You'll find a Power Moon at the end.

46. Spinning Athletics - As you go for Power Moon #45, there is a light green spinning platform. Get the notes nearby first, then grab onto the edge of the light green spinning platform to get the rest of the notes before time runs out so this Power Moon can be yours.

Mushroom Kingdom

39. Secret Path to Peach's Castle! - At the Remote Island in the Lava, there is a painting you can enter. This takes you to Yoshi's House, which is separated from the rest of the Mushroom Kingdom. Throw your hat at the fire in the fireplace, then wall jump up the chimney to get a Power Star, which acts as the Power Moon for this kingdom.

We finally get both volleyball Moons in the Seaside Kingdom, then head to the Luncheon Kingdom to continue with the plot and find more Power Moons.

First | Previous | Next | End

There is a volleyball game near the Beach House. You could use Mario to get the two Power Moons form this, or you could enter the game's two-player mode, have Mario walk onto the volleyball court to get a game started, then take control of Cappy and have him do the work. Just follow the shadow of the ball, have Cappy move onto it, and you'll have a slightly easier time.

Anyway, the next place to go to is the Luncheon Kingdom. They use a volcano to prepare a dish known as Stupendous Stew, which is par for the course for a place called the Luncheon Kingdom. 

The Broodals Are After Some Cookin'

When you reach the Luncheon Kingdom, Cappy will notice that the Broodals have already made it. 

You can move the floating corn cobs on the lava that is all over the level in one of two ways: standing on the edge and jumping so that it rolls where you want it to slowly, or running to the middle and continuing to run. The second way is much faster if you can do, but the first way can be done if you're careful.

The tomatoes turn into pools of lava when hit. If you take control of a Podabo, you can leap out of the lava and into one of these pools of lava. There will be times you will have to do this, and they'll be mentioned. For now, just take advantage of the fact that you can take control of one and move around in and jump out of the lava to get to where you'll have to face the Broodals, who have stolen the Stupendous Stew already. Once again, you'll face Spewart. The same tactics apply, and three hits will seal the deal. Hitting the red jelly beans in the area will give you Hearts.

Under the Cheese Rocks

By beating Spewart, you'll open the path to Peronza Plaza. To get there, you can take the ramps upwards, or you can throw your hat at the fork in the wall, hold Down on the left analog stick when you take control, and then let go to flick yourself up.

By talking to the people around here, you'll find out that a giant Cookatiel is hovering over the giant stewpot on top of Mount Volbono. This is a second helping of the Stupendous Stew that the Volbonions have made, and the people of the plaza are afraid that this second stew is in danger. In order to distract the Cookatiel, you'll need to get a large slab of meat in the distance.

There is a blue stewpot you can throw turnips in. Regular turnips just give you coins, but if you find a golden turnip, throw it in the pot for a Power Moon.

From here, I take a ride through the lava with a Podaboo. It should be mentioned that you can ride in the lava as long as you possess one, and you can jump in and out of the lava. If you land on solid ground, you'll turn back into Mario. Metal grates do not count as solid ground, and you'll go through them both ways; if you want to land on a metal grate, you'll have to leave the Podaboo mid-jump.

By swimming around as a Podaboo, you'll find a way to that giant slab of meat. This way will have more than a couple of Hammer Brothers who can throw pans instead of hammers; their attacks work the same way and can be used to break the cheese walls you'll see on the way. You'll need to use that attack to get Power Moon #2.

Power Moons

Seaside Kingdom

38. Beach Volleyball: Hero of the Beach - Head to the volleyball court near the Beach House, then approach the net to start a game. You'll need to hit the ball 100 times to get this Power Moon. Do yourself a favor: enter two-player mode and do this with Cappy. You can do this with Mario, but it's much easier with Cappy, especially when the ball speeds up.

Luncheon Kingdom

1. The Broodals Are After Some Cookin' - You'll get this one from beating Spewart again (see above).

2. Under the Cheese Rocks - On the way to the big meat slab, there is a giant cheese wall to destroy by possessing a Hammer Brother and attacking the wall. This will reveal some stairs to a cheese block hiding a switch. Throw Mario's hat at the switch to free this Power Moon and unlock more of the kingdom.

6. Piled on the Salt - This Power Moon is on a mound of salt in a high area near the Odyssey.

7. Lurking in the Pillar's Shadow - This Power Moon is in an alcove near the lava in the high areas near the Odyssey.

9. Is This an Ingredient Too?! - There is a stack of crates between two buildings. Breaking them will reveal this Power Moon. Wall kick between the two buildings to reach it.

15. Golden Turnip Recipe 1 - There is a Golden Turnip that can be grabbed and thrown into the blue stewpot in Peronza Plaza. Doing this will net you a Power Moon.

24. Love Above the Lava - For this one, you'll want to make a stack of four Goombas near the Odyssey, then walk on a floating corn cob so that it spins towards a Lady Goomba. This will net you a Power Moon when you reach her.

25. Shopping in Mount Volbono - Purchase a Power Moon in the Crazy Cap Shop in Peronza Plaza with 100 regular coins.

26. Luncheon Kingdom Slots - In Peronza Plaza, there is another Tostarena slot machine house behind a pile of vegetables. The way to play the game is the same as the last two times, but now you need five moons in a row. Doing that will net you this Power Moon.

37. Magma Swamp: Floating and Sinking - Near the Peronza Plaza checkpoint, there is a Hat Door that you can open. Collect the five Moon Fragments in this area while staying in the center of the islands that ascend and decend in and out of the lava to stay safe, and the Power Moon will pop up near the exit.

38. Corner of the Magma Swamp - In the Hat Door area near Peronza Plaza, there are islands moving in and out of the lava near the entrance. Behind the wall is a Power Moon.

41. Fork Flickin' to the Summit - There is a Hat Door in the lava close to Peronza Plaza. Entering it will take you to an area where you'll need to throw your hat and flick your way to the top. At the exit is a Power Moon.

42. Fork Flickin' Detour - Just before the end of where you find Power Moon #41, maneuver your way to the fork on the right, then hold the left analog stick to the left to flick yourself to the right. This will take you to a hidden platform where another Power Moon can be found.

43. Excavate 'n' Search the Cheese Rocks - On the way to the Meat Plateau, you'll find a Hat Door behind a wall of cheese that can only be broken by the attacks of a pan-throwing Hammer Brother. Inside, you'll need to take control of another Hammer Brother and break the cheese walls to find five Moon Fragments for another Power Moon.

44. Climb the Cheese Rocks - Inside one of the walls in the area where you find Power Moon #43, there is a hidden alcove behind a cheese wall that can be broken with a Hammer Brother. Inside is an easy-to-miss Power Moon.

We're winding down Seaside Kingdom here...which means I have to play volleyball to get the last two. Thankfully, there's a trick to it, and I mention it in the next entry.

First | Previous | Next | End

I eventually have to play the volleyball game. To play it, walk towards the volleyball court and head towards the net to start a game. The first Power Moon requires hitting the ball 15 times, but the second one requires hitting it 100 times. I almost do it legitimately with just Mario, but I mess it up at the last second, no thanks to the ball speeding up after reaching 50 hits. There's a trick to it, and I do it in the next video.

30. Moon Shards in the Sea - Near the Rolling Canyon checkpoint, there is a scarecrow underwater. Throw your hat at it to open up an underwater area full of eels popping out of the ground and find the five Moon Shards. Collecting them all will net you a Power Moon.

33. Lighthouse Leaper - Possess the Glydon at the top of the lighthouse and fly over to the Glass Palace (the giant glass where the fountain water collects), then talk to the Bubblanian near it. (If you talk to the Bubblainain before hand, he will mention Glydon's boast of being able to glide to the Glass Palace, which is a hint that you need to do this for a Power Moon.) Talking to the Bubblanian will net you a Power Moon.

34. Good Job, Captain Toad! - Captain Toad is on a high platform. To get to him, you'll need to take control of a Gushen, fly to the "Above Rolling Canyon" checkpoint, then fly to the platform where Captain Toad and his tent is. Talk to Captain Toad to get a Power Moon.

35. Ocean Quiz: Good! - Go back to the Sphinx near the Ocean Trench East checkpoint and answer all five of the Sphinx's questions.

What is the name of this land? Bubblaine

How many fountains did the monster seal? Four

When you, brave traveler, turn into a red fish, what ability did you get when you shake the Joy-con? Attack

There is a room in this kingdom that can only be entered if you’re wearing the chosen clothing. What is that clothing? Resort Outfit

Why am I here? To ask questions

37. Beach Volleyball: Champ - Head to the volleyball court near the Beach House and hit the ball 15 times to get this Power Moon.

47. Hurry and Stretch - There is a hat door in the northeast corner of the kingdom. Open it to enter an island in the middle of a vast ocean of lava. Take control of an Uproot and use the stretch ability to get to the top for a Power Moon before the island sinks into the lava. Watch out for the rock snakes that move around as you make your way up.

48. Stretch on the Side Path - Near the end of the area where you find Power Moon #47, there is a side path next to the narrow section leading to the end. There is a Power Moon on this side path.

50. Found with Seaside Kingdom Art - To find this Power Moon, you'll need to find the Hint Art in the Seaside Kingdom, which is found here. Head to the Metro Kingdom and go to where the words "KEEP CLEAR" are on the road near the Main Street Entrance. Ground pound above the second "E" in "KEEP" to find the Power Moon.

In this entry, we get the last of the Regional Coins in the Seaside Kingdom. It won't be long until we're done here...for now.

17. What the Waves Left Behind - Near the Rolling Canyon Checkpoint, there is a rock path in the water. In the path is a hole you can stand in, and if you stand in it, the controller will rumble. Ground pound this hole to find a Power Moon.

19. Bubblaine Northern Reaches - There is a set of underwater mounds near the Ocean Trench East checkpoint. Ground pound the three smaller mounds that are lit up first, and take out the enemies that pop up as you do. Once you do that, ground pound the big mound in the center to get a Power Moon.

20. Wriggling on the Sandy Bottom - There is a Hat Door underwater near the Lighthouse where two Cheep Cheeps are swimming. Open the door, then throw your hat at the lump moving around in the sand and ground pound it to get a Power Moon.

26. Sea Gardening: Ocean Trench Seed - This is the seed you get at the Beach House for planting the seed that is found here.

27. Seaside Kingdom Timer Challenge 1 - Near Hot Spring Island, there is a hole in the ground you can swim into. Hit the red switch with a ground pound, then quickly enter the nearby 8-bit area, get to the Power Moon and break the blocks to collect the Moon before the platforms disappear.

29. Found on the Beach! Good Dog! - There is a dog near the Odyssey. He will head to the side for some coins. Ground pound the flashing area when he finds them to get the coins, and the dog will follow you around. Take him to the rocks on the other side of the starting area to get him searching again. This time, he'll find a Power Moon.

42. A Relaxing Dance - To enter the locked door at the Beach House, you'll need to buy and equip the Resort Hat and Resort Outfit from the Regional Coin store in the northeast corner of the kingdom. From there, you can enter this room and stand in the ring in the center to do a hula dance. This will net you a Power Moon.
