Warp Painting
Warp Paintings are portals found in various kingdoms that resemble paintings, allowing Mario to travel directly from one kingdom to another if he chooses to enter. Unlike the Odyssey, Warp Paintings as a method of travel allow Mario to access certain areas that are not intended to be reached from the main area of the kingdom (although many of them can be accessed in alternate ways). Each Warp Painting leads to a platform that houses a single Power Moon and a Checkpoint Flag.
Locations
The list below documents where Warp Paintings appear and where they lead to. The destinations of the paintings vary depending on which kingdoms are visited first at the two forks.
| Source Kingdom | Destination Kingdom |
|---|---|
| Cascade Kingdom | Bowser's Kingdom |
| Sand Kingdom | Metro Kingdom |
| Lake Kingdom/Wooded Kingdom
(whichever was visited first) |
Sand Kingdom |
| Wooded Kingdom/Lake Kingdom
(whichever was visited second) |
Luncheon Kingdom |
| Metro Kingdom | Wooded Kingdom/Lake Kingdom
(whichever was visited second) |
| Snow Kingdom/Seaside Kingdom
(whichever was visited first) |
Cascade Kingdom |
| Seaside Kingdom/Snow Kingdom
(whichever was visited second) |
Lake Kingdom/Wooded Kingdom
(whichever was visited first) |
| Luncheon Kingdom | Mushroom Kingdom |
| Bowser's Kingdom | Seaside Kingdom/Snow Kingdom
(whichever was visited second) |
| Mushroom Kingdom | Snow Kingdom/Seaside Kingdom

It is worth noting that no matter what order the kingdoms are visited in at the forks, the ten paintings will always form one continuous cycle.
