Super Mario Odyssey is packed with Power Moons to collect across its multiple kingdoms, some are fun to find while others can be fairly frustrating. Collecting a bare minimum of 124 Power Moons is essential in order to power up the Odyssey flying machine and transport Mario from one level to the next.
However, if you want to unlock all of Super Mario Odyssey’s caps, costumes, and other surprises, you’ll need to complete challenges, solve puzzles, nail difficult platforming sections, and more on your way to reaching the maximum tally of 999 Power Moons.

Power Moons by Location
When you first arrive in each Kingdom, only a certain number of the Power Moons in the area will appear in the Power Moon List. This is because many Power Moons will not become available to find until certain criteria have been met, such as completing the main objectives in that region or finishing Super Mario Odyssey’s main story. Here’s a breakdown of how to collect every Power Moon in each of Super Mario Odyssey’s kingdoms:
