Power Moons in Super Mario Odyssey are the new Stars, which means you need to collect as many as possible! Each Kingdom has a minimum number to collect in order to to advance to the next Kingdom, but there are many more hidden through each level.
The Metro Kingdom requires players to find 20 Power Moons to advance. However, if you want to see everything the level has to offer, you’ll need to be on the lookout for a whopping 81 Power Moons. That makes the Metro Kingdom the area with the second-most Power Moons in Super Mario Odyssey, behind the Sand Kingdom. Many of these can only be found after completing the main story, so it’s best to come back once you’ve wrapped everything up.
Minor spoilers below, so read at your own risk:
