The '''Cloud Kingdom''' is the sixth kingdom visited in ''[[Super Mario Odyssey]]''. It is a mysterious realm made up entirely of clouds, and is the greater location of '''Nimbus Arena'''. During the events of the story, while en route to the [[Metro Kingdom]], Mario and [[Cappy]] hear a strange laugh outside their [[Odyssey|ship]], which causes them to investigate. They discover that Bowser is also en route to the Metro Kingdom, and thus encounter him whilst in the sky. This kingdom is the location of the first [[Bowser]] battle of the game. Upon defeating Bowser, he retreats to his airship and instructs it to fire cannonballs at Mario. He gets hit by one of these, causing both him and the Odyssey to crash-land down in the [[Lost Kingdom]].
 
The Cloud Kingdom is located southeast of the [[Lake Kingdom]], northeast of the Wooded Kingdom, northwest of the Lost Kingdom, and west of the Metro Kingdom.

The '''Cloud Kingdom''' is a kingdom in ''[[Super Mario Odyssey]]'', and the greater location of '''Nimbus Arena'''. A mysterious realm in the sky made up entirely of clouds, the arena within this kingdom is the location of the first [[Bowser]] fight in the game, as well as the smallest location within the game.
<big>Life Above the Clouds</big>


''Perhaps everyone has had the experience of looking up in the clouds and imagining what it would be like to live among them. As it turns out, as fantastical as it may sound, there was once such a kingdom whose citizens looked down on the world from a fluffy, puffy paradise.''
==Description==
Nimbus Arena is mainly comprised of one main cloud platform, surrounded by a few smaller platformers, connected by Cloud Hats. Most of the smaller platforms, outside of the one the [[Odyssey]] lands on, do not appear until the [[Moon Rock]] found within the arena is broken.  


[[File:SMO Cloud Brochure B.png|thumb|200px|''The super-light stuff also found at Fossil Falls.'']]
The in-game brochure suggests that the Cloud Kingdom was once home to a society that had some connection with the moon, pointing out the moon phase markings and strange cloud arches found upon and around Nimbus Arena.
<big>Strangely Floaty Material</big>


''While the particles that make up a cloud are extremely small and light, researchers have recently discovered a kind of [[hat cloud|cloud-like material]] that one can walk on. First discovered in [[Cascade Kingdom|Fossil Falls]], this substance can change into and hold new shapes and even support weight.''
==Power Moons==
There are a total of 9 [[Power Moon]]s in Nimbus Arena, the second lowest number after [[Darker Side|Culmina Crater]], which only has one.

''The discovery prompted certain researchers to open an investigation into whether there might have once been a "cloud kingdom" in the sky.''
*'''01: Picture Match: Basically a Goomba:''' Obtained by playing a Picture Match minigame, accessed by a Green [[Pipe]] in the center of the arena.

*'''02: Peach in the Cloud Kingdom:''' Obtained post-game by talking to [[Peach]] and [[Tiara]] in the NE corner of the arena..
*'''03: Digging in the...Cloud?:''' ◲ Obtained by performing a [[Ground Pound]] on a specific area of the main arena in the SE corner, which can be determined through the increasing intensity of the controller's rumble feature.
*'''04: High, High Above the Clouds:''' ◲ Obtained by platforming on Cloud Hats above the main arena.  The platform is directly West, which will raise up with a ground pound.
*'''05: Crossing the Cloud Sea:''' ◲ Obtained by collecting a key found north of the main arena past the moon rock cube, across several timed Cloud Hat blocks.
*'''06: Taking Notes: Up and Down:''' ◲ Obtained by collecting all of the music notes while on a rising and falling platform, to the East of the main arena.
*'''07: Picture Match: A Stellar Goomba!:''' ◲ Obtained by completing a harder version of the ''Picture Match: Basically a Goomba'' Power Moon in the same area.
*'''08: King of the Cube!:''' ◲ Obtained by completing a series of 8-bit challenges, accessed by a Moon Rock Pipe in the SE corner of the arena.
*'''09: The Sixth Face:''' ◲ Obtained by finding a secret area found within the 8-bit area the ''King of the Cube!'' Power Moon is found in.  There is a pipe in the top right of a face accessed by jumping to reveal two hidden blocks on the ledge below.  After they are revealed, it is easy to reach the pipe accessing the sixth face, and grab the moon.

''Perhaps everyone has had the experience of looking up in the clouds and imagining what it would be like to live among them. As it turns out, as fantastical as it may sound, there was once such a kingdom whose citizens looked down on the world from a fluffy, puffy paradise.''


''Mysteriously, the land had markings that accurately showed the waxing and waning phases of the moon. Now, besides the obvious "how," researchers had to question "why?"

''The discovery prompted certain researchers to open an investigation into whether there might have once been a "cloud kingdom" in the sky.''
<big>Giant Cloud Arches</big>


''Researchers are thus baffled by the large cloud archway here. Some theorize that it's a kind of reticle that aligns with the moon. Some evidence suggests that the arch pulled this kingdom's Moon Rock to a specific location from the moon.''
====Vestiges of Greatness====
''Once researchers started looking for places in the sky, they quickly found a large platform of the levitating substance, dubbed Nimbus Arena.''


''The only certainty is that the Cloud Kingdom will continue to interest researchers for many years.''

{{main|List of Power Moons in the Cloud Kingdom}}
There are a total of nine [[Power Moon]]s in the Cloud Kingdom, the second-least amount of [[Power Moon]]s for a kingdom, having six more than the [[Darker Side]] (when counting the [[Multi Moon]] as three). During Mario's first visit to this kingdom, none of the Power Moons can be collected (due to the boss fight with Bowser). After repairing the Odyssey in the Lost Kingdom, Mario can return here to collect one Power Moon. After he defeats Bowser in the [[Moon Kingdom]], one more Power Moon becomes available to collect. The [[Moon Rock]] will also be available to destroy, causing seven additional Power Moons to be accessible.

==Trivia==
*The "nimbus" in the Cloud Kingdom's playable location, "Nimbus Arena," means either a word for "cloud" or "rainstorm" in Latin.
*According to [[Pauline]]'s quiz, Pauline desires to see the Cloud Kingdom next due to wanting to see clouds that go on forever.
*''The Art of Super Mario Odyssey'' revealed that the Cloud Kingdom was originally going to be much larger and not just restricted to being a boss arena against Bowser the first time he is fought.
