PrinceWatercress plays Super Mario Odyssey - Part 59 of 92

In this video, we collect the last of the boss rematch Power Moons in the Mushroom Kingdom, then begin the real post-game.

First | Previous | Next | End

21. Mushroom Kingdom Regular Cup - Win the first race against the Roving Racers in the first Koopa Freeracing race. Use the Rocket Flowers and your long jump to get to the castle.

22. Mushroom Kingdom Master Cup - Win the first race against the Roving Racers in the first Koopa Freeracing race. Use the Rocket Flowers and your long jump to get to the castle. Unlike the first race, the Purple Koopa is replaced with a Gold Koopa who will have better AI than the rest of the racers and will also go a lot faster than everyone else. 

33. Tussle in Tostarena: Rematch - The tower in the southwest corner of the kingdom leads to this battle, which is a rematch against Knucklotec. Same strategies apply.

You'll need to avoid the fists as they smash the ground. If the hands hit one of the many diamonds on the ground, they will get smashed. Possess the hand, then hold Y and avoid the diamonds that the other hand tosses as you run right into Knucklotec's face. It can be a little difficult, as the free hand can sometimes change positions to block you with a projectile attack, but if you move wildly enough, you can make it to the face quickly enough.

Any diamonds with Hearts in them can be smashed by the hands to release the hearts if you need the health. Just stand there and move out of the way before the hand hits the ground.

After each hit, Knucklotec will create some diamonds that will land on the ground and become buried in the sand. Avoid those diamonds, and repeat the process. After the second hit, you'll need to avoid the fists when Knucklotec launches them at you from far away. When he has his hands up, open and to the sides, move up and down as you move around the arena so you don't get clapped. You'll soon be able to defeat Knucklotec on the third hit and get this Power Moon.

All throughout this rematch, however, you'll have to deal with the zombies that pop out of the ground from the Sand Kingdom. You'll need to stay on the move and avoid them while facing Knucklotec. Coming into this battle with a Life Up Heart is strongly advised.

36. Battle in Bubblaine: Rematch - The pipe in the lake where Dorrie is leads to this rematch. The same strategies apply, but this time, you're in the clouds and it is raining hard with no end in sight. As a result, you'll be able to fly around indefinitely without running out of water.

37. Blowup at Mount Volbono: Rematch - The tower closest to the Odyssey is the rematch with the Cookatiel. The same strategies apply, but this time, there will be three rotating rock columns in the soup. You'll also have to deal with those spiky fruits coming down from the lava that the Cookatiel spits out when you try to hit it. 

41. Found with Mushroom Kingdom Art - You'll need to find this Hint Art first in order to unlock this Power Moon. Head back to the Cap Kingdom. Get on the bridge leading to the village, then line the tower up with the moon and ground pound near the guardrail. If you ground pound the right spot, you'll get a Power Moon.

We're running out of Power Moons to hunt down in the Mushroom Kingdom, and that leads to playing a few of the boss rematches scattered all over the place.

First | Previous | Next | End

There are six boss rematches scattered throughout the Mushroom Kingdom, and each one will net you a Multi-Moon for winning again.

Power Moons

29. Yoshi's Feast in the Sea of Clouds - The stream near the Odyssey leads to a pipe. Eat the berry blocking the pipe as Yoshi, then enter the pipe as Mario. (You can enter it as Yoshi, but you'll turn back into Mario.) From here, you'll enter another cloud area where you can play as Yoshi. Your skills as Yoshi will be put to the test here, including your wall jump (for two berries) and a flutter jump (for the eels that keep popping out of the pits). 

30. Sunken Star in the Sea of Clouds - To the left of the starting point is a hidden path to another Power Moon. If you go all the way around the level the other way, the last see-saw will take you down to that path.

34. Struggle in Steam Gardens: Rematch - This is the rematch with Torkdrift, the boss from the Wooded Kingdom. To get here, you'll need to find the seed for the vine in the Goomba Woods area, then throw it into the planter near where the tower is to get to the tower. As for the boss battle, the same strategies apply, but you now have those ring generators in the corners that will create even more rings of death that you'll have to avoid throughout the battle.

35. Dust-Up in New Donk City: Rematch - The tower northeast of the Odyssey will take you to this boss battle. It's a rematch with the Mecha-Wiggler from the Metro Kingdom...or rather, Mecha-Wigglers. You're facing two of them this time, and while the same strategies from last time apply, you'll be dealing with them from two Mecha-Wigglers simultaneously. Bringing a Life Up Heart to the battle is definitely recommended.

38. Rumble in Crumbleden: Rematch - Take control of Yoshi and eat the berry blocking the pipe in the moat. Afterwards, enter the pipe as Mario. You'll enter a room with a painting of the Dark Dragon from the Ruined Kingdom. Jump into the picture to fight the Dark Dragon again. Same strategies apply, and you'll get a Power Moon for it. Same strategies apply.

Stay on the move to avoid the purple energy as well as the chakrams that roll around that are created by it. The small mass of purple electricity on the floor indicates where the dragon is about to zap. When the dragon smacks his head on the floor, you'll need to jump over the electricity that courses along the floor. He will then be tired. This is your opportunity to jump onto the dragon's head and throw your hat at the hooks in the dragon's head. By removing all the hooks and ground pounding the glowing spot on the dragon's head afterwards before the dragon revives, you'll score a hit. In case the dragon wakes up, your progress with the hooks will stay the way that it is until you either lose all your health or complete the current attack phase.

There are four spots where you can ground pound the ground for a heart, should you need them. They will be indicated by glowing cracks in the ground.

For the second phase, you'll have to avoid more five chakrams instead of three, and the crackling energy will have slightly more complex patterns that look like double helixes. You'll also have to remove four hooks instead of three.

For the third phase, you'll have to avoid over a dozen chakrams and deal with crackling energy that forms loops that you'll need to jump between. You'll also have to deal with five hooks on the dragon's head, which means you may have to go through two attack loops to get the job done.

PrinceWatercress plays Super Mario Odyssey - Part 57 of 92

We finally play as Yoshi and get the berry-related Power Moons out of the way in this entry.

First | Previous | Next | End

Yoshi is on the roof of the castle. We saw him last time, but this time, we're actually playing as him. Just remember that you have to throw your hat at the egg to break it, then throw your hat at Yoshi to take control of him. You can't jump on top of him like you can in other games. Once you're in control, you can press Y to stick out your tongue to eat things, and you can hold B while in mid-air to do the flutter jump and hover in mid-air temporarily. Shooting your tongue at walls will allow you to stick to walls, and you can press B from there to do a wall jump.

There are thirty berries in the Mushroom Kingdom, and you can get a few Power Stars from eating them all: three Power Stars for ten berries each. Any berries you eat will turn transparent upon re-entry into the Mushroom Kingdom, while those Yoshi has not eaten yet will be solid. Keep this in mind, as eating berries fills a gauge, and filling the gauge up gives you a Power Moon.

Yes, you can eat the Goombas as Yoshi, as usual. Doing this will give you coins.

There are some berries covering up pipes: one in the moat, and another underground in front of a stream near the Odyssey, east of the castle. Eat those berries so you can go through those pipes later.

Getting 500 Power Moon will unlock the Darker Side. This is where the game's ultimate challenge will be, and we won't head there until near the end of the Let's Play.

6. Gardening for Toad: Pasture Seed - Obtainable in the garden after planting this seed.

7. Gardening for Toad: Lake Seed - Obtainable in the garden after planting this seed.

13. Gobbling Fruit with Yoshi - Eat ten of the thirty berries in the Mushroom Kingdom as Yoshi for this Power Moon.

14. Yoshi's Second Helping! - Eat twenty of the thirty berries in the Mushroom Kingdom as Yoshi for this Power Moon. 

15. Yoshi's All Filled Up! - Eat all thirty berries in the Mushroom Kingdom as Yoshi for this Power Moon.

26. Loose-Tile Trackdown - You'll need to ground pound eight loose floor tiles in Peach's Castle. They are in the following locations, in this order:

1. Between the left and center stairs
2. Between the left and center stairs, to the right of the first tile
3. Up the stairs, to the right of the throne and above the hint art
4. Near the hint art, next to the set of stairs on the right
5. Right next to the bottom of the left stairs
6. Up the stairs, near the left corner
7. To the right of the center steps
8. To the right in front of the throne

27. Totally Classic! - North of the castle near the stream in the Goomba Woods, there is a locked door. If you're wearing the Mario 64 Cap and the Mario 64 Suit, you'll be able to go in. On the other side is the courtyard from Super Mario 64 where you can could enter Big Boo Manor. Throw your hat at the statue in the middle of the fountain and hold the button to get this Power Moon.

28. Courtyard Chest Trap - In the area where you find Power Moon #27, there are eight treasure chests. Opening them all in the correct order will net you another Power Moon. Getting it wrong forces you to fight a few ghosts enemies, and makes it so that you'll have to start over. The chests to open and the order to open them in is as follows: 

1. To the right of the fountain (it's the one with the coins revolving around it)
2. Left chest behind the fountain
3. Right chest behind the fountain
4. Left chest at the entrance (In other words, left from when you came in. It's the right chest if you're actually looking at the door like you're about to exit.)
5. Right chest at the entrance (In other words, right from when you came in. It's the left chest if you're actually looking at the door like you're about to exit.)
6. Left of the fountain
7. Right grass chest
8. Left grass chest

We get the last three Regional Coins in the game, get the last two seeds planted, then start hunting for even more Power Moons in the Mushroom Kingdom.

First | Previous | Next | End

The Music List is one of the most interesting things in post-game. Just press the Minus button, then press Y to enter the menu. You can then go anywhere with any music from the game that you want, so if you want to go everywhere with the Steam Gardens theme playing, go nuts.

There is a scarecrow near Peach's castle that lets you get on the roof, and there is another on the roof that allows you to get to the center tower and climb all the way up to see the entire kingdom.

This is where you will find the Lake Seed.

This is where you will find the Pasture Seed.

You can drain the moat around the castle. Just go underwater and throw your cap at the four stakes to empty it.

Power Moons

1. Perched on the Castle Roof - This Power Moon is above one of the towers of Peach's Castle. You can backflip and then hat toss jump to reach the spire to climb up it and get this.

10. Found at Peach's Castle! Good Dog! - Go up to the dog at the fountain and follow him around to find a bunch of coins, then take him to a small hill near the Odyssey. The dog will find a glowing spot, which you can ground pound for a Power Moon.

12. Herding Sheep at Peach's Castle - To get this Power Moon, you'll need to find six sheep and bring them back to the sheep pen in the southwest corner of the kingdom. Two are near the Odyssey, one is near the pen itself, one is in the Goomba Woods area with the brown dirt, one is near the well containing the 8-bit area, and one is near the rocket near the Goomba Woods. Bring them all back to the sheep pen for a Power Moon.

16. Love at Peach's Castle - You'll need to drain the castle moat, then head to the Goomba Woods checkpoint and make a stack of at least eight Goombas. There are ten in all, though, and you can use all ten if you want. Take the stack of Goombas back to the lady Goomba at Peach's Castle for a Power Moon.

17. Toad Defender - There is a Toad near Goomba Woods guarding a Power Star, and he will mention that he is keeping it away from the Goombas. Take control of a Goomba and bring it back to this Toad to scare him off and get the Power Moon.

19. Jammin' in the Mushroom Kingdom - There is a Toad near the fountain near the Odyssey with headphones on. If you talk to him, he will tell you that he is looking for a song with the theme "flat 'n blocky classic." This will introduce you to the music list, which you can access at any time with the Minus Button and pressing Y. Any song with "8 bit" in parentheses in the title will do, and when you select one of those, you'll get this Power Moon.

Regional Coins

98-100

Our Power Moon collection in the Mushroom Kingdom continues...

In the 8-bit area inside the well, you'll need to stay in the black area to stay in 2D; otherwise, you'll turn back to 3D and fall down a bottomless pit. For the flag stair blocks, you'll need to hold the run button to speed over the gaps. As for the final part of all that, don't hold the run button while jumping to give yourself an easier time. You'll then enter rotating 2D areas, and you'll need to rotate the left stick in order to keep up with it and not revert back to 3D while avoiding the Black Fuzzys. The area you need to get to is an upside-down pipe; this takes you to one final section that will take you to a Power Moon. 

Power Moons

2. Pops Out of the Tail - There is a tree near the Odyssey with a branch that looks like the tail on Raccoon Mario from Super Mario Bros. 3. Throw your hat at the branch and hold the button down for a Power Moon.

4. Gardening for Toad: Garden Seed - Bring this seed to the pots in the garden and get the Power Moon when it matures.

5. Gardening for Toad: Field Seed - Bring this seed to the pots in the garden and get the Power Moon when it matures.

9. Mushroom Kingdom Timer Challenge - Northeast of the castle is a scarecrow. Throw your hat at the scarecrow, then get on the nearby scooter and get the Power Moon before time runs out. You'll want to keep the scooter within a hat toss' reach of the scarecrow for best results.

31. Secret 2D Treasure - You'll need to get through the entire 8-bit area inside the well in one shot to get this Power Moon.

32. 2D Boost from Bullet Bill - In the 8-bit area inside the well, you'll need to jump off a Bullet Bill to get a Power Moon. 

23. Picture Match: Basically Mario - Northeast of the castle (or near the brown dirt area, or near the Toad with the tent who tells you that Captain Toad is at the Crazy Cap Store, depending on which is easier to remember), there is a Mini Rocket. Throw your hat at it to teleport yourself to a picture match puzzle where you have to recreate a picture of Mario. You'll have to score at least 60 points to get this Power Moon. Keep in mind that when you place something on the picture, it disappears.

24. Picture Match: A Stellar Mario! - Once you get Power Moon #23, you can get this Power Moon. This time, you need no less than 80 points, and this time, you'll have only the base outline for Mario to work with and nothing else. I had to draw on my TV screen with a Sharpie much like NintendoCapriSun did just to make this one easier, then wash it off with water (thankfully, it came off).

Regional Coins

89-91 | 92-94 | 95-97

PrinceWatercress plays Super Mario Odyssey - Part 54 of 92

I found nearly all of the Regional Coins in this area. It won't be long until my search for them comes to an end.

First | Previous | Next | End

It's time for the Mushroom Kingdom. Once again, it should be mentioned that the Power Moons are in the shape of Power Stars from Super Mario 64. Nevertheless, they will be referred to as Power Moons.

Here's one of the seeds for the Mushroom Kingdom. This is the Field Seed.

If you talk to the Toad in the top hat at the castle entrance, you'll find out that Princess Peach has gone missing again. This triggers the flag that causes Princess Peach to appear in all the other kingdoms you've been in, which will lead to a load of Power Moons.

There is some hint art for the Cap Kingdom here. Keep it in mind for later.

If you talk to the Archivist Toadette at the throne, she will tell you that she is keeping track of her achievements throughout the game, and you'll unlock a ton of Power Moons as a result. She'll give you the one for rescuing Princess Peach for free. You won't get any of the other achievement-based Power Moons until you talk to her again.

Here's another seed that I found. This is the Garden Seed.

Moon Kingdom

19. Thanks, Captain Toad! - Captain Toad will be near all the other people near the Odyssey. Talk to him for a Power Moon.

27. Found with Moon Kingdom Art - You'll need the Hint Art from the Wedding Hall to find this one. Head back to the beginning of the mountain and head off to the side where the Scarecrow is, then pound the ground in the corner for this Power Moon.

Snow Kingdom

33. Secret Path to Shiveria! - There are two ways to get this Power Moon, and it depends on which choice you made on the second forth.

If you pick the Snow Kingdom over the Seaside Kingdom, you'll find the portal to this in a portrait in the ground between some trees near the Odyssey in the Mushroom Kingdom. This is the path that I take.

If you pick the Seaside Kingdom over the Snow Kingdom, you'll find the portal in a portrait behind the left building at the Main Courtyard Entrance in Bowser's Kingdom. You won't be able to access this Power Moon until after you beat Bowser in the main game, however. It's at one of the two tiny buildings surrounded by sand, and I found this picture frame before. Had I picked Seaside Kingdom first, I would have been able to use it.

Mushroom Kingdom

3. Caught Hopping at Peach's Castle - There is a bunny hopping around in the garden to the east. Catch it for a Power Moon.

8. Grow a Flower Garden - There are two circles of sprouts near the garden. Throw your hat around in a circle to grow them all in one fell swoop and get a Power Moon.

11. Taking Notes: Around the Well - West of the castle is the well. Around it is the 8-bit area. Go in, grab the treble clef, run all the way back out and get the notes along the way, then get the notes outside before time runs out to get this Power Moon.

18. Forever Onward, Captain Toad! - Captain Toad will on the roof of the Crazy Cap Shop. Talk to him for a Power Moon.

20. Shopping Near Peach's Castle - Buy a Power Moon from the Crazy Cap Shop in the Mushroom Kingdom.

25. Light from the Ceiling - Inside the castle, stand on the sun rug in the center and look up at the sun on the ceiling. Instead of being taken to another world to unlock the Wing Cap, you'll get a Power Moon in a nice reference to Super Mario 64.

40. A Tourist in the Mushroom Kingdom! - You'll need to have collected "A Tourist in the Moon Kingdom!" in the Moon Kingdom for this one. When you have, the taxi, the driver and the tourist will all be here, and you can get this Power Moon. This Power Moon is the last in the chain involving the taxi and the tourist, and after this, the tourist will head back to the Sand Kingdom.

44. Rescue Princess Peach - Talk to the Archivist Toadette at the throne in the castle for the first time to get this one.

While we have access to the Mushroom Kingdom now, we still have some unfinished business on the moon...so let's take care of it, shall we?

First | Previous | Next | End

While we have access to the Mushroom Kingdom, we still have unfinished business on the moon. Some moons will now be available now that Bowser is defeated.

When you return to the moon, you'll find out that the Moon Rock is glowing. This will also be happening in all of the kingdoms. We won't be messing with the Moon Rocks yet, however.

The Crazy Cap Shop will finally be available near the Odyssey, so you can buy a Power Moon and spend the Regional Coins you found here. You can also buy Power Moons in bulk, ten at a time, if you have the money. This is the only way to get 999 Power Moons, but as promised, all the Power Moons that can be found through exploring the game will get found before I take advantage of this.

There will also be a ton of costume pieces that will be available now that Bowser has been beaten. If anything has the word "Special" near it, it is a costume piece from the game's digitally downloaded updates from around the time the game came out in 2017 and 2018. I will be buying all of these things as well. You'll want to get the Doctor Headwear and the Doctor Outfit, since we'll be needing it later.

You'll see people from various Kingdoms near the Odyssey looking at the Earth in the background. Now that Bowser is gone, everyone is free to travel without having to deal with Bowser and his shenanigans.

If you meet the tourist from Tostarena here, you'll find out he's going to the Mushroom Kingdom next after you get the Power Moon he gives you.

Luigi will now show up in all of the kingdoms when you beat Bowser. He has a mini-game called Balloon World, and it involves Internet connectivity. You pick a balloon that has been placed by another player who has the game, and if you can find it within a time limit, you'll get coins. If you fail to find it, however, the player who placed it will get coins. You can also place your own balloon and challenge others place to come find it. This is a pretty good way of getting coins - assuming that the servers for this are still working when you come across this guide - if you can place it in a spot that not many people will be able to find it. If your balloon does get found, however, you'll have to place it in another location.

There are two portraits near where you fought Bowser. One of them is empty and will be filled in with something later, but the other has a picture of Bowser. If you jump into it, you can play the final stretch of the game again.

There is Hint Art in the Wedding Hall when you enter now. It shows Poochy in the Wooded Kingdom near a corner near a scarecrow. Remember that for later.

15. Sneaking Around in the Crater - Near the Odyssey, there is a moving, glowing bump in the crater. Throw your hat at the bump to stun it, then ground pound it to get this Power Moon.

16. Found on the Moon, Good Dog! - There is now a dog near the Crazy Cap shop. Take the dog down the ramp leading downward and take it to the corner with the platform with the scarecrow on it. The dog will find this Power Moon.

17. Moon Shards on the Moon - There are five Moon Shards near the Wedding Hall. Some are on the ground, and others are on the roof and will require the frog to collect. Find them all to reveal a Power Moon above the entrance.

18. Moon Quiz: Amazing! - After getting Power Moon #24 (see below), you need to answer the rest of the Sphynx's questions. Answering all five correctly nets you a Power Moon. Here are the answers:

What type of flower did the traveler offer the bride? Rocket Flower

Which animal can't be found in this land? Sheep

The objects that fell on all the kingdoms of the world were what kind of rock? Moon

Where is the secret entrance to the Wedding Hall in this kingdom? Below the bell

How did I travel to this place? Floated by airship sail

20. Shopping in Honeylune Ridge - Once the Crazy Cap Shop is available on the Moon, you can buy this Power Moon.

21. Walking on the Moon! - Near a large crater near the rolling rock columns, you'll find a Koopa Trace-Walking mini-game. You'll need to earn 80 points or more to earn this Power Moon. I still can't figure out how I scored 89.

23. Doctor in the House - There is a Shiverian in the Wedding Hall who has a stomachache from overeating. If you talk to him while wearing the Doctor Headwear and Doctor Outfit, he will give you a Power Moon.

24. Sphynx's Hidden Vault - The Sphynx has more questions when you beat Bowser. Here are the answers:

What type of flower did the traveler offer the bride? Rocket Flower

Which animal can't be found in this land? Sheep

The objects that fell on all the kingdoms of the world were what kind of rock? Moon

Where is the secret entrance to the Wedding Hall in this kingdom? Below the bell

How did I travel to this place? Floated by airship sail

If you answer one of them correctly, the Sphynx moves aside, and you an go in and open the treasure chest with your cap to get a Power Moon.

25. A Tourist in the Moon Kingdom! - You'll need to beat Bowser and collect "A Tourist in the Luncehon Kingdom!" to get this Power Moon. Once you do, the taxi, the taxi driver and the tourist from Tostarena will be near the Odyssey, and you'll be able to get this one.
