Super Mario Odyssey Bowser’s Kingdom Power Moon Locations

Bowser’s Kingdom in Super Mario Odyssey consists of a series of floating platforms with a Japanese motif. Mario will have to infiltrate his way into the castle to reach Bowser and his flying ship, but there are a ton of boss battles and obstacles to overcome along the way.

There are 62 Power Moons in Bowser’s Kingdom, and many of them come from these boss battles.

Power Moon #1 - Infiltrate Bowser’s Castle!

The first Power Moon in the Kingdom requires Mario to defeat the Ogre guarding the gate. It will approach you and a shadow will appear where Mario is, signifying he’s ready to slam his block on you. Avoid it and use this time to climb on top of it to stomp on its head and defeat it. A Power Moon will be your reward.

Power Moon #2 - Smart Bombing

In the Second Courtyard, you’ll notice five Moon Shards scattered around. The first is under the first turret you encounter, the second is over the first pit on the lowest level, the third is hovering in front of the large wall (you can use the Pokio to fling yourself to it), the fourth is hidden in a metal box between two turrets and the final one is on a ledge toward the back of the structure.

Power Moon #3 - Big Broodal Battle

In this area, you’ll need to defeat the Harriet and Topper one at a time. The battle is similar to the previous one, only now they are now and sneakier, so make note of their movements.

Power Moon #4 - Showdown at Bowser’s Castle

Make your way to the top of the Kingdom to get to the Showdown Arena, where the big boss fight happens. The Broodals have combined in a giant metal and wood machine. You’ll need to capture a Pokio to avoid its attacks and poke the cannonballs it projects at the metal legs. After a few hits, the machine will take a knee and you’ll use the Pokio’s poking ability to climb to the top and poke at the Broodal until it is exposed. Do this four times to defeat the mech.

Power Moon #5 - Behind the Big Wall

In the Third Courtyard (Front), capture a Pokio and flick your way onto the roof. There’s a Power Moon over the ledge, which you can drop down to collect and fling your way back onto the roof.

Power Moon #6 - Treasure Inside the Turret

When you make it to the second courtyard, there’s a secret passage on the side of the Kingdom. On the left edge, position your camera so you can find the material a Pokio can stick to. Capture the woodpecker creature to make your way down and across the ledge until you make it to the Power Moon.

Power Moon #7 - From the Side above the Castle Gate

Go to the souvenir shop, then take the Spark Pylon back to the second courtyard and you should spot a Power Moon. This one will require some nifty wall jumping to get to. Jump from the ledge and perform a wall jump into a double jump to grab the Power Moon.

Power Moon #8 - Sunken Treasure in the Moat

Go to the Main Courtyard and find a small moat guarded by Pokios. Dive into the area with the binoculars and follow the underwater path to the Power Moon.

Power Moon #9 - Past the Moving Wall

On the top of the Inner Wall, go down the northwest corner and descend a few tiers. You’ll pass the Stairface Ogre and the Spinies, then come to another ledge that will need a Pokio capture. Use the Pokio to make your way around the corner by flicking yourself around the wall, then continue to the area where a spike wall strip. Flick yourself over to where the visible Power Moon is.

Power Moon #10 - Above the Poison Swamp

In the same area as #11, capture the Lakitu above the poison pond and head toward the northwest corner. Follow the path until you find a frame, with a Power Moon behind it.

Power Moon #11 - Knocking Down the Nice Frame

Head to the Beneath the Keep flag and find the Lakitu around the poison pond. Capture it and float over to the northwest corner, where a ledge and a slingshot can be found. Escape the capture and activate the slingshot, sending Mario to the top of the big arch. On the front of the arch, you will find a decorative ornament hanging. Use Cappy to knock it off the roof and a Power Moon will appear.

Power Moon #12 - Caught on the Iron Fence

Behind the Odyssey, there’s a fence post shaped like Bowser’s head. It will spew fire after you toss and hold Cappy on it. Keep Cappy there until a Power Moon appears.

Power Moon #13 - On the Giant Bowser Statue’s Nose

As you make your way through the Kingdom, you’ll notice a giant gold Bowser statue. Climb the roof and hop onto the statue. There’s a glowing spot on Bowser’s nose that you can ground pound to reveal a Power Moon.

Power Moon #14 - Inside a Block in the Castle

Head to the Outer Wall warp flag and move to where the Stairface Ogre is. Lead the Ogre to the metal boxes and have it smash it for you. Break open the metal box that glows with a rainbow sparkle to reveal a Power Moon.

Power Moon #15 - Caught Hopping at Bowser’s Castle!

Head to the Keep’s roof after the boss battle. One of the white hares will appear, and just like in the other kingdoms, you’ll need to hit it with Cappy to slow it down and capture a Power Moon.

Power Moon #16 - Exterminate the Ogres!

Head to the Main Courtyard entrance and climb to the roof of the building on the right side. Find a Spark Pylon and capture it to go to a secret structure off the Keep. There are a ton of Ogres here, and you’ll need to find a platform holding the Island in the Sky flag. Once you’ve arrived, skydive down from the island to a warp painting leading to a secret island. You’ll need to finish the main adventure to access it, though.

Power Moon #20 - Hidden Corridor Under the Floor

Just beyond the Main Courtyard is a wall Mario can climb with a Pokio. Capture the Pokio and begin your ascent of the first wall. After climbing this wall (just above the moat), fall off the spiny edge and grab the wall with the Pokio’s beak. You should be able to see the Power Moon behind some bars. You can get behind the bars, but the entrance is behind four breakable crates. Get to the crates and quickly destroy them crates with the Pokio’s attack, ten stick to the wall again before you fall off. Once the passage is clear, go in and grab your Power Moon.

Power Moon #21 - Poking Your Nose in the Plaster Wall

Power Moon #22 - Poking the Turret Wall

Head to the Second Courtyard checkpoint and capture a Pokio. Go to the cannonball corridor where two cannons are side by side. There are boxes on the side that can’t be broken without using the cannonballs. Use the Pokio’s beak attack to launch the cannonballs toward these boxes to reveal another hole where you can find a Power Moon.

Power Moon #23 - Poking Your Nose by the Great Gate

Behind the Spark Pylon that leads to Bowser’s Keep is another hole you’ll need a Pokio for. Warp to the Inner Wall flag and capture one.

Run around the edge to find a slingshot to launch Mario over the gap. Capture a Pokio and wrap around the wall with green tiles. Here, you’ll find a wall to ascend with material you can stick your beak into. The part of the wall that you can stick your beak into spins like a wheel.

Power Moon #35 - Jizo’s Big Adventure

Luckily, there are Jizo statues for Mario to capture. Capture a Jizo, place it on the P-Switch and jump out of the statue to make your way to the next platform.

One platform doesn’t have a P-Switch visible, but there is a crack in the floor that a Jizo’s weight can break through. Capture it and hop to the crack to reveal a P-Switch. An elevator will activate and Mario can take it up. Capture another Jizo to hop across the bridge and hit the switch in the middle, then cross the moving platforms to get to the next statue. Capture it and have the statue move across the same moving platforms to activate the final switch in that platform. Two more switches will appear once all three switches are activated. Take the left and right statues off the switches and onto the new ones allowing for two shafts to be revealed. Use Mario’s wall jump ability to climb the shaft and to the Power Moon.

Power Moon #36 - Jizo and the Hidden Room

Once you’ve activated the wall jump shafts for #35, capture the statue on a P-Switch all the way back in the start of the level. Move the statue to the switch that hasn’t been activated to unveil a secret compartment along the vertical shafts. Without the switch activated again, you’ll need to jump across to the platform without the bridge. Simply use a triple jump or dive jump to make it.

On the final platform, wall jump to find the Power Moon in the compartment that opened.
