The '''Darker Side''' of the [[Moon]] is a secret kingdom in ''[[Super Mario Odyssey]]'', and is the greater location of '''Culmina Crater'''. This is also served as the seventeenth and final kingdom overall in the game. It is accessible once the main game is completed and 500 [[Power Moon]]s have been obtained. In a similar vein to [[Grandmaster Galaxy]] from ''[[Super Mario Galaxy 2]]'', [[Special 8-Crown]] from ''[[Super Mario 3D Land]]'', [[Champion's Road]] from ''[[Super Mario 3D World]]'', and [[The Final-Final Test Badge Marathon]] in ''[[Super Mario Bros. Wonder]]'', being the final level, this kingdom is the biggest challenge found in the game, with the only Power Moon being found at the end of a gauntlet of challenges based off ones previously found within the game. Completing this challenge rewards [[Mario]] with the [[Crazy Cap#Invisibility Hat|Invisibility Hat]] and connects the [[Odyssey]]'s route from Darker Side to the [[Mushroom Kingdom (Super Mario Odyssey)|Mushroom Kingdom]], forming a complete loop on the map. The name "Culmina" appears to stem from the word "culminate".
 
==Description==
[[File:SMO Shot - Darker Side.jpg|thumb|250px|A zoomed-out shot of the Darker Side's starting area upon entering the kingdom]]
Culmina Crater consists of two rocky platforms within a giant crater, which are affected by the Moon's low gravity, and underground caverns that connect the two platforms. The platform the Odyssey lands on contains some local residents from the kingdoms Mario has visited cheering him on, as well as [[Pauline]] and the [[Band (Super Mario Odyssey)|band]] performing "[[Jump Up, Super Star!]]" After completing the challenge, Pauline wears Mario's cap instead of her own in this kingdom. On the other platform is a scale model of New Donk City Hall, with the kingdom's only Power Moon, a [[Multi Moon]], being found at the top of the building.
 
The underground tunnel that connects the two platforms is made up of a bunch of floating platforms suspended above a sea of lava. This tunnel makes up most of the challenge found within the kingdom, being made of a gauntlet of platforming and capture challenges. There are no checkpoints, so if the player dies, they will have to restart from the entrance to Culmina Crater's underground section. However, multiple [[Life-Up Heart]]s are found within the stage to help [[Mario]] through the kingdom. [[Rosalina]] makes a cameo appearance as an 8-bit sprite on a wall on the building at the very end of this kingdom.
 
As Mario makes his journey across the Darker Side, the following Kingdoms' music will play in this order: "[[Jump Up, Super Star!]]" ([[Metro Kingdom]]), [[Cascade Kingdom]], [[Sand Kingdom]], [[Wooded Kingdom]], [[Lost Kingdom]], [[Luncheon Kingdom]], [[Bowser's Kingdom|Bowser's Kingdom 1]], "Underground Moon Caverns", and [[Moon Kingdom]], respectively. If the player changes the music near the last pipe and uses it to warp to the island where the New Donk City Hall replica is, the music automatically changes to the Moon Kingdom's music, regardless of which song the player chose.<ref>[https://youtu.be/Ae50V40MEt4]</ref> This is due to Pauline's singing "Jump Up, Super Star!" on the starting island where the [[Odyssey]] is.

There is only one painting in this kingdom. It is located at the end of the main challenge and it allows Mario to capture Bowser again, taking him to a special course that, upon its completion, will take Mario to the [[spark pylon]]s that spells "Thank You", and finally, to the Multi Moon.

==Glitches==
===Swimming in mid-air===
Due to a former glitch, it was possible to capture and swim with one of the [[Frog]]s found at the beginning through midair, so that the huge abyss between the platform with the starting pipe and the platform with the skyscraper can be crossed to skip the whole challenge part.<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pYDnkWvnW3g YouTube video showing this shortcut by A+Start]</ref> It has been patched since the 1.2.0 update.
 
===Skipping===
Inside the challenge part, Mario as [[Glydon]] can gain a huge boost in height while entering a whirlwind and slow down the descent by shaking the controllers to fly over the wall with the [[Bowser]] painting, skipping all remaining sections of the course. If the player flies far enough from the island with the Bowser painting, the player will also be able to skip that section as well, and go directly to the "THANK YOU" section.<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AwXqlETVNgM YouTube video showing the aforementioned shortcuts by frankcubed]</ref>
