Super Mario Odyssey Sand Kingdom Power Moon Locations

The Sand Kingdom in Super Mario Odyssey is one of the more expansive worlds in the game. And to reflect that, there are 89 Power Moons to collect throughout your adventure there.

Completionists will want to collect every Power Moon in every Kingdom, but it can be a bit tricky. Most of the Power Moons in each Kingdom won’t be accessible until after you complete the story. In the Sand Kingdom, you’ll only be able to obtain 69 Power Moons before beating the story, so be sure to come back when you’re done.

Since there are so many Power Moons in Super Mario Odyssey , we’re breaking down each Kingdom in separate stories.
