- “The spectacle known as Glass Tower isn't just majestic, it also fulfills the critical role of manufacturing the famous local product Sparkle Water. It stands atop the Glass Palace, which has a uniquely beautiful architectural style. It's a treasure to be explored!”
- —Seaside Kingdom brochure, Super Mario Odyssey
The Glass Palace is a location in the Seaside Kingdom in Super Mario Odyssey. It is found in the center of the kingdom, housing a spectacle known as Glass Tower, a massive golden chalice holding most of the kingdom's supply of Sparkle Water. There are four geysers surrounding it, interlocking above the tower and slowly filling it. A cork in the center floats at the top. Upon Mario's initial visit, Mollusque-Lanceur sits in Glass Tower, slurping away the Sparkle Water. Mario must unchain the geysers to launch corks at him, angering him enough to lure him out of the tower and battle him. After he is defeated, a Power Moon appears and is placed atop Glass Tower. Mario can use one of the geysers to reach and collect it.
Mario can capture Glydon atop the Lighthouse and glide down to a Bubblainian residing on the Glass Palace to receive the "Lighthouse Leaper" Power Moon as a reward.
After the main story is completed and the player learns Princess Peach and Tiara left the Mushroom Kingdom, both of them can be found on top of Glass Tower. When spoken to, they give Mario the "Peach in the Seaside Kingdom" Power Moon.
Mario can dive into the Sparkle Water in the chalice and head to the bottom to find a ring of coins and a painting leading to either the Cascade Kingdom or Wooded Kingdom, depending on the order in which the Seaside Kingdom and Snow Kingdom are visited. The painting also creates bubbles for Mario.
After this kingdom's Moon Rock has been opened, the "What Shines Inside the Glass" Power Moon rests at the bottom of the chalet, and the "A Fine Detail on the Glass" Power Moon appears on one of the golden handles of Glass Tower. A rabbit can also be found on the Glass Palace, rewarding the "Caught Hopping at Glass Palace!" Power Moon when caught.
Glass Tower appears during the rematch against Mollusque-Lanceur in the Mushroom Kingdom. It serves the same role as in the original fight, as the final landing place for the "Battle in Bubblaine: Rematch" Multi Moon, though the Glass Palace is absent. The battle takes place in the sky, with the only other platform being a far-off island. Glass Tower does not have the painting or coins at the bottom in this version. The Power Moons are also absent.
