The biggest part of Super Mario Odyssey are the Power Moons, you’ll need a certain number in each Kingdom to power up your ship and progress the story.
For the completionists out there, you’ll want to collect every Power Moon in every Kingdom but it can be a bit tricky. Most of the Power Moons in each Kingdom won’t be accessible until after you complete the story.
There are also little tricks to solving puzzles, completing tasks for others and much more and we got you covered. You can also use Uncle amiibo to use your amiibo figures to find Power Moons for you.
Since there are so many Power Moons in Super Mario Odyssey, we’re breaking down each Kingdom in separate stories starting with the Cap Kingdom.
