Darker Side
Darker side
Darker Side is a kingdom that is unlocked after depositing 500 Power Moons into the Odyssey once the main game has been completed. The sole purpose of the kingdom is as a final challenge gauntlet, which takes place entirely in a large sub-world. However, the sub-world can be skipped using Frog Airswim or a Cappy return cancel.
One Serious Crater
This giant crater was formed by a huge meteor collision long ago. The impact destroyed the civilization that flourished on the moon, which is how Culmina Crater came to be. The crater itself is so massive, you cannot see the bottom.
Seeing the Bright Side
From here you can observer galaxies shining in ways you never could see from home. Culmina Crater features vistas entirely unique from those you can find on the Dark Side of the Moon and Honeylune Ridge. If you're feeling down or disheartened, just take a look up at the Milky Way from here. You can see each star twinkle as the nestle close to one another. It will all be OK—you are not alone.
Moon Mysteries
When you look up inside the caverns, you may see deposits that look like the cubic Moon Rocks. Were the rocks that fell planetside originally formed here?
A Bewildering Building
This colossal building stands in Culmina Crater. If you look closely, it seems to resemble the city hall in New Donk City. Some think it's based on New Donk City Hall. According to researchers, it might be one of the remnants of the civilization that once flourished on the moon. But with little evidence, this theory lacks credibility.
A Lone Pipe in A Crater
This is the only pipe that connects to the lunar interior. If you find it, we don't recommend jumping right in. What awaits is a trial so harsh, it lives up to the name Culmina Crater.
Of course, if you have the confidence of a traveler who has done everything else this world has to offer, give it a shot! Overcome this, and adventurers the world over will sing your praises.
Inside the Moon
A lava zone spreads throughout this giant cavern. What waits ahead? How far does it go? These answers await those brave enough to enter this unknown, unexplored world.
Under the crater
Under the crater is a really hard and really long challenge. These challenges give you a test of all the skills you learned in super Mario odyssey. Going through this way is the only way to get to the moon. I divide the challenge in 6 parts.
Part 1
This area has Red lava to avoid. A hat like invader. It is recommended that you beat the hat invader. The reason is so that you can get a live up heart. You will have 6 life (regular) or 9 life (assist). After the hat invader comes sinking poles that are going to sink in the lava. To get up these poles do wall jumping for most. After sinking poles is poles that fall into the lava that you swing but you need to have good timing or your in the lava. After that comes moving platforms. To get to the other area keep jumping but don’t fall into the lava. Then you have to capture a lava bubble (podoboo) and jump into the lava holes but avoid moon snakes.
