Editing Moon Rock

[[File:Mysterious_Cube_SMO.jpg|thumb|120px|left]]
'''Moon Rocks''' (initially called '''Mysterious Cubes''' in the [[Prima Games]] guide<ref>Walsh, Doug, and Joe Epstein (2017). ''Super Mario Odyssey: [[Prima Games|Prima]] Collector's Edition Guide'', page 25.</ref>) are lustrous, gray cubic objects found in ''[[Super Mario Odyssey]]''. There is one in each kingdom visited (excluding the [[Mushroom Kingdom (Super Mario Odyssey)|Mushroom Kingdom]], [[Dark Side]], and [[Darker Side]]), but they have no function until after [[Bowser]] is defeated in the [[Moon Kingdom]]. After defeating Bowser and collecting all of the [[Multi Moon]]s in a given kingdom (if there are any), that kingdom's Moon Rock will glow, and [[Mario]] can activate it either by throwing [[Cappy]] at it or [[Ground Pound]]ing on it. Upon activating a Moon Rock, it will fly into the sky and explode, causing more [[Power Moon]]s to become available in that kingdom. [[Toadette]] also gives Mario a Power Moon for activating all of the Moon Rocks.

Similarly textured rocks can be found in the Moon Kingdom, most prominently during the escape sequence at the end of the game. Interestingly, the same texture is also found on the colored material that makes up many of the "another world" secret areas.

''Super Mario Odyssey: [[Prima Games|Prima]] Collector's Edition Guide''. Page 25.</ref> are objects found in ''[[Super Mario Odyssey]]''. These lustrous gray cubic objects are large chunks of minerals from the [[Moon]], as well as the raw form of the material that makes up [[Power Moon]]s.<ref>''[[The Art of Super Mario Odyssey]]'', page 301.</ref> There is a Moon Rock in each kingdom visited (excluding the [[Mushroom Kingdom (Super Mario Odyssey)|Mushroom Kingdom]], [[Dark Side]], and [[Darker Side]]), but Moon Rocks have no function until after [[Bowser's Moon Wedding]] is completed to finish the game. If that is done and the player has collected all of the [[Multi Moon]]s in a given kingdom (if there are any), that kingdom's Moon Rock starts to glow. [[Mario]] can activate it by either throwing [[Cappy]] at it or [[Ground Pound|ground-pound]]ing it. When Mario activates a Moon Rock, it flies into the sky and explodes, causing more Power Moons to become available in that kingdom. The Power Moons that appear this way are each marked with a Moon Rock icon on the Power Moon List, and their locations are automatically revealed on the map. The indicators use yellow text. Activating every Moon Rock completes the "[[List of Power Moons in the Mushroom Kingdom#Moon Rock Liberator|Moon Rock Liberator]]" achievement from [[Toadette]]. A Moon Rock fragment is also sold in the Moon Kingdom's [[Crazy Cap]] shop.

-Similarly textured rocks can be found across the game. One prominent instance is a pillar in the [[Cascade Kingdom]]. It has material similar to Moon Rocks embedded into it, and the brochure for the kingdom says that many think the pillar comes from the sky. The [[Moon Kingdom]] has a number of rocks with this texture. Underground sections of the Moon, such as the Moon Kingdom's [[Underground Moon Caverns]] and the cave of the Darker Side, are made up of similar cubic rocks, and their backgrounds show even more. The brochure for the Darker Side conjectures that these deposits are the source of Moon Rocks. The same texture is also found on the colored material that makes up many of the "another world" secret areas. Lastly, the escape sequence at the end of the game involves a collapsing cave consisting of a number of rocks that look similar to Moon Rocks. They also glow yellow when struck.
