Kingdom

Summary

Kingdoms are locations in Super Mario Odyssey which can be traveled to from the World Map, comparable to the "Worlds" that are present in many other Super Mario Games, though, in contrast to Super Mario games commonly consisting of 8 or 9 worlds, there are a total of 17 Kingdoms in the game, 14 of which are part of the "main game", while Mushroom Kingdom, the Dark Side and Darker Side of the Moon belong to the "post game". Collectables which can be found in Kingdoms are Power Moons and Regional coins, with more common collectables such as regular coins being present as well.

Accessing Kingdoms

Most Kingdoms require a certain amount of power moons to be collected in the previous Kingdom to access it, though this requirement is not present for Cap Kingdom, as it is the Kingdom in which the game begins, Cascade Kingdom, because Cap Kingdom (which precedes Cascade Kingdom) does not contain any Moons during the first visit, and Mushroom Kingdom, which is unlocked upon finishing the Escape Sequence in Moon Kingdom. The Dark Side and Darker Side of the Moon can be unlocked after unlocking Mushroom Kingdom by reaching a total Power Moon count of 250 for the former and 500 for the latter. As Cloud Kingdom and Ruined Kingdom are not revealed to the player until traveling from Wooded Kingdom/Lake Kingdom and Luncheon Kingdom respectively, the total Moon counts of Wooded/Lake Kingdom and Luncheon Kingdom do not unlock Metro Kingdom and Bowser's Kingdom, even though it might not seem so until Cloud Kingdom and Ruined Kingdom are Revealed on the World Map.

Power Moon Counts

Not all Power Moons that can be found in a Kingdom are available upon first visiting the Kingdom. This can be the case because some Moons may be inaccessible until World Peace is achieved in that Kingdom, as well as Moon Rock moons only being obtainable after unlocking Mushroom Kingdom. This is closely related to Scenarios, which are used by the game to determine which moons are enabled.
