In this video, we get what else we can from the Lost Kingdom at this point...and it's not much.

First | Previous | Next | End

Power Moons

10. A Propeller Pillar's Secret - At Swamp Hill, there is a propeller pillar with butterflies in the center. Ground Pound the center of that platform for a Power Moon.

12. A Butterfly's Treasure - Near the Ground Pound switch that lets you wall jump up to the Crazy Cap shop, there is a butterfly on a clip. Slowly approach it, and when you see the small white hat icon above it, throw your hat at it to get a Power Moon. If if flies away, get its original position out of camera view, then try again.

14. Cave Gardening - Near the Ground Pound switch that lets you wall jump up to the Crazy Cap shop, you'll find a cave. Throw your hat at all the flower sprouts before they un-bloom for a Power Moon.

18. Soaring Over Forgotten Isle - At the top of the mountain in the center of the Kingdom, capture Glydon, then fly to the island over to the south away from everything else to get a Power Moon.

19. The Caged Gold - At Swamp Hill, you'll need to throw your hat at a Trapeedle and get it so that it flies right into the nearby cage containing a Power Moon inside. After this, you'll need to go up and around to grab the Power Moon.

So much for a trip to the city...Bowser's at it again! That's twice he's kicked our collective butts now!

First | Previous | Next | End

When you take off for the Metro Kingdom, you'll run into Bowser and his airship on the way there. You'll stop over at the Cloud Kingdom.

From here, hit the ? hats with your own hat to turn them into platforms, then get ready to fight Bowser. Bowser will throw his hat; throw your hat at it to stun the hat and wear it like your own. Go after Bowser and jump over the shockwaves he produces as he tries to get away from you. When he lands on his butt, get in front of him and hit him repeatedly with the Y button until you send him into the spiked wall in the distance.

On the second phase, he throws three hats. Throw your hat at the one that isn't dark purple, then wear it and go after Bowser again. Avoid or punch out the spheres that Bowser throws at you, then get in front of him when he's on his butt and knock him into the nearby wall.

On the third phase, there are six hats. One, then two, then three are unleashed; go after the white one like you did before. Go after Bowser and watch out for the shockwaves and the spheres, then start punching Bowser. When he stops blocking, be ready to jump when he swings his tail, then start hitting him again until you launch him back on his airship.

Afterwards, Bowser gets mad, and he shoots down the Odyssey with the cannons from his airship. You'll then end up in the Lost Kingdom, and the Odyssey will be damaged. Cappy will tell you that you will need some Power Moons to fix it.

When you go further into the island, a vulture will swoop down and kidnap Cappy. You'll need to ground pound the golden pillars with the steps between to not only change which pillars are up and down, but also to get to this vulture. It won't take long to get to him, and when you approach, he will fly to the lower stone pillar. Ground pound the higher one just before he lands so you can knock him into the air and defeat him to get Cappy back. Talk to Cappy, and he will rejoin you.

The Wiggler-like enemies are called Tropical Wigglers and are among the most fun in the game. When you possess one, you can press the A button to extend your body, and you can use this to get from platform to platform and reach some areas more safely. You can also use this ability to grab things such as Regional Coins and keys that are directly over the purple lava that is all over this kingdom. Just remember that if you see the sweat drops coming out of the Wiggler and that the Wiggler's hands are not on the ground, you cannot reposition yourself in that particular place with the A button; you'll need to put your head and hands back above solid ground in order to de-extend yourself. Remember that these 

The he green guys with the purple eyes will throw your hat at you like an explosive projectile if you throw Cappy at them are Trapeetles. This is dangerous, but if you can avoid the projectile and keep these guys facing the way you want them, you can get rid of some obstacles with this attack.

Power Moons

1. Atop a Propeller Pillar - This Power Moon can be found on a spinning propeller-shaped pillar in the Swamp Hill area.

2. Below the Cliff's Edge - This is one a ledge off the edge of the north-eastern side of the Kingdom. This one is directly near where "Peeking Out from Under the Bridge" (see below) can be found.

3. Inside the Stone Cage - You'll be able to see this one near the Odyssey, but to get to it, you'll need to ground pound the pillars that are near it so you can reveal the opening to the cage, go inside and collect the Power Moon.

4. On a Tree in the Swamp - Bring a Tropical Wiggler to this spot, then ground the center pillar to raise the other two and make it easier to get this Power Moon.

5. Over the Fuzzies, Inside the Swamp - At the Mountainside Platform checkpoint, use a Tropical Wiggler to get on the tree platforms near the Fuzzies moving back and forth to avoid trouble and get the Power Moon on the other side.

6. Avoiding Fuzzies Inside the Wall - At the Mountainside Platform checkpoint, there is a Hat Door you can open with your hat. It leads into the nearby 8-bit area. Avoid the Fuzzies and get the Power Moon on the other side with the help of the moving platforms.

7. Inside the Rising Stone Pillar - On the way to the vulture, hitting the taller stone pillar here not only makes a staircase rising up, but also shows a hidden Power Moon to the side.

8. Enjoying the View of Forgotten Isle - At the top of the mountain in the center of the kingdom, you'll find the Crazy Cap Shop. You'll also find a Power Moon above a tree.

9. On the Mountain Road - On the way up the mountain in the center of the kingdom, you'll find a flashing spot on the ground. Ground pound it for a Power Moon.

11. Wrecked Rock Block - There are four blocks set up like a square in Swamp Hill. Throw Cappy at the nearby Trapeetle, then get him to destroy the blocks. One of them will contain a Power Moon.

15. Moon Shards in the Jungle - On the west side of the Kingdom, there is an area where you can take a Tropical Wiggler and go from platform to platform to grab five Moon Shards. Collecting all five will net you a Power Moon, but watch out for some of the Fuzzies that are circling a few of the platforms!

16. Peeking Out from Under the Bridge - To get this Power Moon, possess the Tropical Wiggler here, then land on the roots of the trees to inch yourself towards this Power Moon.

17. Twist 'n' Turn-Up Treasure - You'll need to take a Tropical Wiggler back to the beginning and go behind the Odyssey. Use your extension powers to grab the key, and you'll be able to get this Power Moon.

20. Get Some Rest, Captain Toad - In the middle of "Moon Shards in the Jungle" (see above) you will come across a hidden cave if you look hard enough. Use a Tropical Wiggler to get in, then turn back into Mario and talk to Captain Toad for a Power Moon.

21. Shopping on Forgotten Isle - Purchase the Power Moon on sale in the Crazy Cap shop at the top of the mountain in the center of the kingdom.

It did not take long to wrap up the Lake Kingdom. Next time, we're heading to the Metro Kingdom.

First | Previous | Next | End

If you press ZL or ZR before pressing Y on the surface of the water, you can do a powerful breast stroke. It's nice, but I find myself never using it.

Other than that, we're done with the Lake Kingdom...for now.

Power Moons

6. On the Lakeshore - There is a glowing spot on the sand near the Odyssey. Ground pound it to find a Power Moon.

7. From the Broken Pillar - Ground pound the broken pillar near the entrance to the Water Plaza. You'll uncover a Power Moon.

9. Lake Gardening - Spiky Passage Seed - Remember the seed in the spiky underwater tunnel that we found in the last video? If you don't know how to get it, it's right here. The seed's bloomed now, so we have this Power Moon.

20. A Successful Repair Job - The rock blocking the door in the dome near the Water Plaza will be gone after you beat the Broodals. Go inside, then possess the left side of the stone decoration. You'll need to rotate that part of the stone decoration so that you can easily place it next to the right half, and when you do, you'll get a Power Moon. To make things easier, use diagonals; it makes it easier to move around.

21. I Feel Underdressed - You'll need to buy and equip the Swim Goggles and Swimwear with the Regional Coins at the Crazy Cap shop, then head to the nearby locked door where the Lochlady Dress was once kept. Since you're dressed like a swimmer, you'll be able to go inside. Throw your hat at the dress display and hold the Y button down. You'll uncover a Power Moon.

23. Super-Secret Zipper - Remember that T-shaped zipper path we had to loosen up in the secret area? Turns out the top of that "T" shape lead to a platform. Throw your hat to uncover some hidden platforms, then go up the stairs to get this Power Moon.

24. Jump, Grab, Cling and Climb - There is a door in a hole in the wall near where you fought the Broodals. Inside, you'll be doing a lot of shimmying and Fuzzy avoiding. Following the path the game expects you to take takes you to a Power Moon. But...

25. Jump, Grab and Climb Some More - ...the "elevator" near the end of the secret area near where you fought the Broodals lowers when you reach the top. Get on it when it drops back down, then ride it up to a flower. The flower takes you to a chest containing a Power Moon. After I get this one, I drop right back down and land right on Power Moon #24.

Now that the Broodals are gone (already), it's time to explore more of the Lake Kingdom.

First | Previous | Next | End

Here's some Hint Art for the Cascade Kingdom. Notice that there is one more rock formation on the picture on the right compared to the one on the left. Remember this for later.

Certain Power Moons can be found in more than one, but the way you'll be using to find it depends on which kingdom you go to when given a choice between two of them at the few points in the game where you'll have the freedom to do so. These Power Moons will be mentioned accordingly.

There is a seed in the spiky underwater tunnel. Talk to the Lochlady near the flower pot to get the seed to show up, then go through the spiky tunnel. It's easier to do this as a Cheep Cheep. Once you find it (and the four nearby Regional Coins), you'll need to switch back to Mario and take the seed back to the surface (to get more air) and back to the Water Plaza where you can plant it. The coin in the bubble will make it easier; save it for the journey back.

Power Moons

Lake Kingdom

4. End of the Hidden Passage - Use the Bouncy Flower at the Courtyard to get to a higher ledge with a zipper. Open up the wall with a zipper to find a hidden passage with a Power Moon.

10. Lake Kingdom Timer Challenge 1 - At the Courtyard area, there is a Scarecrow on a small plot of land. Throw your hat at it, then jump into the gap in the wooden blocks and keep ground pounding to get to the bottom fast enough to get this Power Moon.

11. Lake Kingdom Timer Challenge 2 - Warp back to the Courtyard Terrace after beating the Broodals and throw your hat at the scarecrow. Do a ground pound jump by jumping as soon as you hit the ground on a ground pound, and keep doing that to quickly get to the top and get this Power Moon.

15. Lake Fishing - In the Courtyard area, catch the big fish with Lakitu. You'll get a Power Moon.

16. I Met a Lake Cheep Cheep! - After you beat the Broodals, take a Cheep Cheep to the small land mass with the hole in the center and place the Cheep Cheep in the hole. The Lochlady will thank you for allowing her to see a Cheep Cheep up close, and you'll get a Power Moon.

18. Let's Go Swimming, Captain Toad! - Possess a Cheep Cheep and go down the long chasm in the Water Plaza. You'll find Captain Toad; talk to him for a Power Moon.

27. Found with Lake Kingdom Art - You'll need to find the Hint Art on the stairway leading up to the Courtyard area. Go to where the extra bone segment was located in the Hint Art and ground pound there. You'll find the Power Moon.

Luncheon Kingdom

47. Secret Path to Mount Volbano! - There are two ways to get this Power Moon.

If you went to the Wooded Kingdom first, then the Lake Kingdom, this Power Moon will be found in the painting in the pond in the Courtyard.

If you went to the Lake Kingdom first, then the Wooded Kingdom, this Power Moon will be found in the painting behind an iron block on the iron wall in the Wooded Kingdom, which can be reached atop the wall from the Station 8 checkpoint.

We're done in the Wooded Kingdom, so let's take a look at the Lake Kingdom and see what's happening down there.

First | Previous | Next | End

Believe it or not, there is a tree near the big wall at the start that contains some Hint Art. If you look at it, you'll find out that there is something in some brown bushes north of the Trace-Walking Koopa.

Broodals over the Lake

When you make it to the Lake Kingdom, you'll find out that the Lochlady Dress has already been stolen by Bowser and that the Broodals are here.

If you pay attention to symmetrical areas and throw your hat at places where things should be, you can find some surprises sometimes.

By throwing your hat at zippers, you can control the zippers and use the left analog stick to open areas up. This will open new paths as well as reveal other things, including Power Moons.

In the underwater path leading to the spiky waterway, you can throw your hat at the seaweed enemies to get rid of them. Also, if you throw your hat at a Cheep Cheep, you'll be able to breath water indefinitely as long as you keep that form, which makes it easier to backtrack and find things you missed as well as things you need. You can hold the jump button to swim, but you can also jump out of the surface of the water to jump onto land. You won't be able to hold the form for long on land until you turn back into Mario, so be sure to find some water to land back into, if you can help it.

You can breathe in the glass dome areas. Just keep in mind that you'll be underwater when you leave those areas. One of those areas is the Water Plaza, which has two levels that you can swim to and from to access both levels. The first level has a pit you can only access as a Cheep Cheep, while the second level has a locked door that requires a swimmer's costume you can complete here through the shops.

When you enter the area where the Broodals are at, you'll face Rango. To beat Rango, hit his hat with your own, then jump on it and land on his head on the way down. Avoid Rango as he jumps around, then repeat the process. After three hits, Rango will go down, and you'll get Power Moon #1.

With Rango defeated, you'll be free to leave the Lake Kingdom, but the geography of the kingdom will have changed, too, and you'll also be free to collect more Power Moons and Regional Coins.

Power Moons

Wooded Kingdom

50. Found with Wooded Kingdom Art - You'll need to head back to the Sand Kingdom and move past the Inverted Pyramid in the sky and find two brown bushes near the edge. These will be the two bushes north of the Trace-Walking Koopa. If you ground pound near them, you'll find the Power Moon. You must find the Hint Art for this first before you can get it.

Lake Kingdom

1. Broodals over the Lake - Defeat Rango at the Water Plaza Terrace (see above).

2. Dorrie-Back Rider - Near the Water Plaza, you'll find Dorrie. There will be a Power Moon on Dorrie's back, which you can jump up to grab.

3. Cheep Cheep Crossing - Above and behind the Underwater Entrance checkpoint are some alcoves, one of which contains a Power Moon. This is easy to get with a Cheep Cheep.

5. What's in the Box? - At the top of the Water Plaza on the way to the Broodals, there is a land platform with three crates. One of them contains a Power Moon, and you'll need to swim your way to the other side to get it.

8. Treasure in the Spiky Waterway - Go right at the spiky waterway when you enter the path leading to the Water Plaza. You'll find a treasure chest containing a Power Moon. 

12. Moon Shards in the Lake - There are five Moon Shards located around the Water Plaza. One of them will be behind some crates, while another will be behind some iron bars. Possess a Cheep Cheep so you can take your time finding these Moon Shards and unlocking the Power Moon.

13. Taking Notes: Dive and Swim - Near the Odyssey, there is a note underwater. Grab it, then swim around and get all the notes before time expires to get this Power Moon.

14. Taking Notes in the Cliffside - There is a pipe leading to an 8-bit area on the west side of the Water Plaza area. Enter it, then hit the treble clef and grab all the notes with the help of the platform to get this Power Moon.

17. Our Secret Little Room - Past the entrance to the Water Plaza are a couple of alcoves. One of them contains a hidden Lochlady, and if you talk to her, she gives you a Power Moon.

19. Shopping in Lake Lamode - Buy the Power Moon at the  Crazy Cap shop in the Lake Kingdom.

22. Unzip the Chasm - There is a zipper hiding a hat door. Going inside leads to an area where you'll need to open up some zippers and create some platforms out of the wall. It will all lead to this, and by using the zipper near the gold key, you can get of all the nearby gold Goombas, but you can give yourself a straight shot to this Power Moon.

I had my microphone up and out of the way instead of right in front of my mouth, which is why you can barely hear unless you have some good headphones, especially some with noise cancellation. Anyway, Wooded Kingdom is finished...for now.

First | Previous | Next | End

Power Moons

40. Flooding Pipeway Ceiling Secret - In the pipe inside the lake, there is a hidden area in the ceiling at the water's highest point. This leads to another Power Moon.

42. Nut Hidden in the Fog - In the area you can access with the rocket, there is a platform down below that leads to a nut. Get there with a Para-Goomba, then break the nut as Mario for a Power Moon.

44. Flower Road Reach - At the start of the area with the flower paths and the poisonous pond, there is a Power Moon above a platform. You'll need to create a stack of eight Goombas, then get to the Power Moon before the platform passes you by so you can get it.

46. Elevator Blind Spot - In the area where you got the Power Moon from shooting everything as a Sherm, turn around at the starting area. There is a high platform with destructible blocks that you can only destroy as the Sherm. Shoot the middle of the blocks down with a Sherm, and you'll reveal a Power Moon. 

PrinceWatercress plays Super Mario Odyssey - Part 16 of 92

Our adventure takes us not only into the Deep Woods, but also into the first of several technical problems in making this Let's Play possible. I'm amazed I managed to get this one done.

First | Previous | Next | End

There is a "hidden" area in the eastern side of the kingdom known as the Deep Woods. To enter it, you'll need to get to the eastern side of the kingdom and leap into the bottomless pit. Instead of dying and losing ten coins, you'll end up in a new, much darker area. Here, you'll find a couple of Power Moons as well as the last nine Regional Coins.

The planters will provide a way out if you can throw a seed into them. To get a seed, you'll need to find the robot that produces one when you talk to it. It will be near the walls; just keep running around the Deep Woods until you find it.

If you see any glowing spots on the ground, you'll find gold mini-Goombas if you ground pound them...usually.

The T-Rex returns in this area. You'll need to get the the T-Rex's attention in order to get it to chase you, as this one is awake now...and it's angry! You'll then need to trick it into running into a solid wall. When that happens, you'll briefly stun the T-Rex. You can then throw your hat at it to possess it. You'll need to do this to complete the Dark Woods as well as the Wooded Kingdom. Also, keep in mind that if the screen shakes, the T-Rex is nearby, so keep that in mind.

Power Moons

28. Rolling Rock in the Deep Woods - There is a rock that you can kick in the southern end of the Deep Woods where the babbling brook ends, and if you kick it, it will start glowing. Breaking it fully reveals a Power Moon.

29. Glowing in the Deep Woods - There is a scarecrow near the babbling brook. If you throw your hat at it, you'll reveal a blue platform and a Power Moon. You don't have much of a hint as to where to go to get it, and your best bet for finding it is going in one particular direction and long jumping until you see it. This one can be a bit difficult, but it can definitely be done, and if you're fast enough and you're able to figure out where you need to go, you can get this. (I'm not really sure how best to explain how to collect this one, so I really hope this helps.)

30. Past the Peculiar Pipes - In the eastern end of the Deep Woods, you'll see a pipe in the wall. You'll need to enter a series of pipes in the proper order, which is different each time you play, to reach the Power Moon at the end.

31. By the Babbling Brook in the Deep Woods - For this one, you'll need to stun and possess the T-Rex in the forest. There is a block near where the river begins, and if you run into it with the T-Rex, you'll uncover a glowing spot on the ground. Ground pounding this glowing spot reveals a Power Moon.

32. The Hard Rock in Deep Woods - You'll need the T-Rex for this one. This time, you'll need to find where the river ends, then break the nearby block with the T-Rex and  ground pound the glowing spot that is revealed for a Power Moon.

33. A Treasure Made from Coins - There is a Coin Coffer enemy on a small hill. Possess it, then take it back to the widest part of the brook. There is a sapling there; spit 500 coins at it as the Moneybags in order to grow the plant to full height and reveal a Power Moon. You'll need to climb a nearby tree to the top and then jump off to get the Moon.

34. Beneath the Roots of the Moving Tree - In the eastern end of the Deep Woods, there is a pine tree with a green capture point on the top of it. Throw your hat at it, then move the tree out of the way to find a glowing spot. Ground pound that glowing spot to find a Power Moon.

35. Deep Woods Treasure Trap - There is a really big tree near the southern end, close to where you can find the T-Rex. If you circle around it, you'll find a pipe leading inside the tree. You'll end up in front of three treasure chests to throw your cap at. The correct order to open them in is middle, left, and right. Doing it right will give you a Power Moon.

36. Exploring for Treasure - At the north end, you'll need to find where the babbling brook begins. There will be a locked door and a robot. Talk to the robot while equipped with the Explorer Hat and the Explorer Outfit, and you'll accomplish the prerequisite of being dressed like an explorer in order to get in. To get these two outfit pieces, you'll need to spend the Regional Coins that you find here at the Crazy Cap shop near the Odyssey. Inside the door is a Power Moon in a treasure chest.
