The '''Cascade Kingdom''' is the second kingdom visited in ''[[Super Mario Odyssey]]''. It is the greater location of '''Fossil Falls''', which is a prehistoric dinosaur-themed area. The main landmark of this kingdom is the waterfall flowing down from the skeleton of a ''{{wp|Triceratops}}'', while its background appears to be inspired from the real-life {{wp|Iguazu Falls}} located between {{wp|Argentina}} and {{wp|Brazil}}. Mario first arrives in this kingdom via a [[spark pylon]] located on top of the Top-Hat Tower in the [[Cap Kingdom]], which snaps upon his exit. When he arrives here, he is introduced to the game's main collectible, the [[Power Moon]]s, as well as the [[Odyssey]], a hat-shaped airship used to travel between the game's kingdoms. During his first visit here, Mario must defeat [[Madame Broode]] in order to collect a [[Multi Moon]], which is used to power up the Odyssey and allow it to travel to the next kingdom - the [[Sand Kingdom]]. | |||
The Cascade Kingdom is one of the few kingdoms in the game that does not have any known residents, even though [[dinosaur]]s, and in particular, [[T-Rex]]es, are known to live there. It is located east of the Cap Kingdom and west of the Sand Kingdom. | |||
==Concept and creation== | |||
[[File:SMO Concept Art - Fossil Falls.jpg|thumb|Concept art of Fossil Falls.]] | |||
To give the impression that there was going to be a magnificent adventure, Fossil Falls was designed with impressive elements such as a spreading blue sky, a huge waterfall, and a [[T-Rex]].<ref name="Concept">[https://twitter.com/mario_odysseyJP/status/993971052077297665 Post about the concept art of Fossil Falls from the official Japanese ''Super Mario Odyssey'' Twitter account]. Retrieved May 9, 2018.</ref> The main differences between the concept art and the final design lie in the sleeping T-Rex wearing a red top hat and the presence of [[wikipedia:Pterasaur|pterasaur]]s flying in the sky. | |||
