The Cascade Kingdom in Super Mario Odyssey is the first world you can actually explore and there are quite a few Power Moons to find. You’ll need a certain number in this Kingdom to power up your ship and progress the story but most of them will be obtained after you’ve completed the main story.
Most of the Power Moons are obtained by solving puzzles, completing tasks for others and much more and there’s a lot to go over. You can also use Uncle amiibo to use your amiibo figures to find Power Moon locations for you but for those who don’t have that luxury we’ve got you covered.
Since there are so many Power Moons in Super Mario Odyssey, we’re breaking down each Kingdom in separate stories.
