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