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).
