Seeds are items that appear in Super Mario Odyssey. They are small yellow acorn-like objects that can be found in certain kingdoms. Each kingdom that contains seeds also contains a planter, a small plant pot, for each seed. The planters are usually in a different location from the seeds. Mario can plant a seed by bringing it to an empty planter and throwing it inside. Seeds do not reappear after being planted, permanently removing the seed object. After a seed has been planted, it grows over time until a golden bud appears at the top of the plant; in the Seaside Kingdom, Mario can use a Gushen to water it, quickening the growing process. If Mario touches the bud after the plant has grown fully, it sprouts and releases a Power Moon. Once Mario has collected this Power Moon, the plant stays fully grown for the rest of the game, with the transparent Power Moon remaining above it. All Power Moons obtained this way have the word "Gardening" in their name, with a word before it describing the kingdom and a phrase afterward describing the position of the planter or seed.
In the Wooded Kingdom, a similar plant appears in a stream in the Deep Woods, surrounded by blackened, non-collectable coins stuck in the riverbed. If Mario captures a Coin Coffer and uses it to shoot coins at the plant, it grows taller and taller; after a few hundred coins are fired, the bud finally appears and can be opened to collect a Power Moon.
There also exists a larger, brown variation of seeds; Mario can throw one into an enclosed patch of dirt to make it grow into a massive Beanstalk, which can take him to a higher platform, out of the Deep Woods, or to a bonus area in the sky, depending on the Beanstalk's location. In the Wooded Kingdom, these seeds are dispensed by silver Steam Gardeners.
