The '''Snow Kingdom''' is a region featured in ''[[Super Mario Odyssey]]'', and can either be the ninth or tenth location visited, depending on if the player selects to go here or to the [[Seaside Kingdom]] after leaving the [[Metro Kingdom]]. It is the greater location of '''Shiveria''', a snowy area containing a small town under the surface. When Mario first visits this kingdom, there is a blizzard occurring outside the town area, and the entrance to the [[Bound Bowl Grand Prix]] race area is blocked off by four [[Barrier (Super Mario Odyssey)|barriers]]. Mario must help the [[Shiverian]]s open the entrance to the race area by collecting the four [[Power Moon]]s located in the rooms around the race area's entrance. Once Mario collects all four of these Power Moons, the race area opens up, allowing Mario and the Shiverians to enter. Upon entering the race area, the player discovers that one of the racers is still in the waiting room. Mario goes to find the racer and captures him, allowing the player themselves to participate in the Bound Bowl Grand Prix race. If Mario successfully gets first place in the race, he will receive a [[Multi Moon]], which (when collected) restores the Snow Kingdom to its former glory, getting rid of the blizzard outside the town, allowing the Shiverians to race on their race course peacefully and granting access to more Power Moons. Once Mario collects enough Power Moons, he can access the next kingdom - either the Seaside Kingdom (if the player has not visited it yet) or the [[Luncheon Kingdom]] (if both the Seaside and Snow Kingdoms have been visited). The Snow Kingdom is also full of [[freezing water]], and while Mario can swim in it, he will lose health if he stays in it for too long.
 
This location is based off of {{wp|Russia}}, specifically the icy cold areas of {{wp|Siberia}}. This is evidenced by the name (Shiveria), the nesting dolls on sale at the local [[Crazy Cap]], and by the locals performing the {{wp|Hopak}}. The town of Shiveria also seems to draw inspiration from {{wp|Scandinavia}}, as the locals here resemble harp seals in knitwear and live in wooden Scandinavian-style housing.

===Odyssey===
[[File:SMO Snow Moon 38.png|thumb|left]]
{{main|Odyssey}}
The Odyssey lands on a clifftop in the southwest corner of the kingdom. [[Hint Toad]] and [[Uncle amiibo]] are nearby. After activating the [[Moon Rock]], a [[Power Moon]] can be found floating next to the Odyssey.
===Above the Ice Well===
[[File:SMO Snow Coins E.png|thumb]]
This [[Checkpoint Flag]] is next to the hole that leads to [[Shiveria Town]]. In the area surrounding the hole is a frozen [[Seed (Super Mario Odyssey)|seed]] and [[Ty-foo]] guarding a [[Moon Shard]]. Mario can climb up the ledges of an ice pillar and jump to the one on the other side to find a Power Moon buried beneath it.

===Snow Kingdom Clifftop===
[[File:SMO Snow Moon 33.png|thumb]]
Southwest of the Odyssey's landing site is a small snowy platform jutting out of the cliffside where a [[treasure chest]] containing Power Moon #33, "[[List of Power Moons in the Snow Kingdom#Secret Path to Shiveria!|Secret Path to Shiveria!]]", can be found. It can be accessed via a [[painting]] leading to the Snow Kingdom. Where the painting is found depends on what order the kingdoms are visited in. If the player visits the Snow Kingdom before the [[Seaside Kingdom]], then the painting can be found between some trees near the Odyssey in the [[Mushroom Kingdom (Super Mario Odyssey)|Mushroom Kingdom]]. If the player visits the Snow Kingdom after the Seaside Kingdom, then the painting can be found behind the left building at the [[Main Courtyard Entrance]] in [[Bowser's Kingdom]]. Though the clifftop is intended to only be accessible via painting or Checkpoint Flag, it is possible to reach it by jumping from the roof of the Odyssey using a specific sequence of movements.

The Snow Kingdom is a region featured in Super Mario Odyssey, and can either be the ninth or tenth location visited, depending on if the player selects to go here or to the Seaside Kingdom after leaving the Metro Kingdom. It is the greater location of Shiveria, a snowy area containing a small town under the surface. When Mario first visits this kingdom, there is a blizzard occurring outside the town area, and the entrance to the Bound Bowl Grand Prix race area is blocked off by four barriers. Mario must help the Shiverians open the entrance to the race area by collecting the four Power Moons located in the rooms around the race area's entrance. Once Mario collects all four of these Power Moons, the race area opens up, allowing Mario and the Shiverians to enter. Upon entering the race area, the player discovers that one of the racers is still in the waiting room. Mario goes to find the racer and captures him, allowing the player themselves to participate in the Bound Bowl Grand Prix race. If Mario successfully gets first place in the race, he will receive a Multi Moon, which (when collected) restores the Snow Kingdom to its former glory, getting rid of the blizzard outside the town, allowing the Shiverians to race on their race course peacefully and granting access to more Power Moons. Once Mario collects enough Power Moons, he can access the next kingdom - either the Seaside Kingdom (if the player has not visited it yet) or the Luncheon Kingdom (if both the Seaside and Snow Kingdoms have been visited). The Snow Kingdom is also full of freezing water, and while Mario can swim in it, he will lose health if he stays in it for too long.

This location is based off of Russia, specifically the icy cold areas of Siberia. This is evidenced by the name (Shiveria), the nesting dolls on sale at the local Crazy Cap, and by the locals performing the Hopak. The town of Shiveria also seems to draw inspiration from Scandinavia, as the locals here resemble harp seals in knitwear and live in wooden Scandinavian-style housing.

Blizzard conditions can reduce visibility.

A Frozen Land

The Snow Kingdom is a world of ice and snow that freezes the body but dazzles the eyes. Stay alert, though—one bad step can drop you into the dangerously frigid sea. Despite the cold, the town of Shiveria is famous for its warm hospitality, and on clear days, the view can't be matched.

Come and sit by their fire.

A Warm Community

Shiveria is a huge excavated settlement beneath the ice. It's warmer here than up above, but you'll want to bundle up all the same.

Despite the cold, the cheerful Shiverians will thaw any traveller's frozen heart. And if you visit the center square, you'll see the fiery passion the Shiverians have for their traditional races. Take one look at the screens showing the action, and you'll be caught up in the excitement too!

The racing course extends from the plaza.

Bound Bowl Grand Prix

THE sporting event is the Bound Bowl Grand Prix. Only Shiverians are allowed to participate, but when you watch a race, you'll understand why no one else COULD participate. Only Shiverian sturdiness could survive a race based on bounding violently through the course and crashing into one another. Be sure to see it if you get a chance!

The rare and exquisite Frost-Frosted Cake.

Icing and Racing

Beyond racing, Shiverians are known for elaborate baked goods. Especially renowned is the Frost-Frosted Cake, which is very popular at weddings. By tradition, only the Shiverian Elder is allowed to make this extraordinary confection. What's more, they are specifically created as the grand prize for the Bound Bowl Grand Prix, so the only way to get one is to convince the winner to let you have it.

A bitefrost can move directly through ice.

Crevasse Menace

Lurking in the local crevasses you may find a Bitefrost. These creatures move through the ice under their prey, then thrust upward, chomping. Caution (and jumping ability) is advised.

SMO Snow Brochure C.png

Some Animals Brave the Cold

When the weather is clear, you might spot a few animals making the best of the cold. Be sure to keep an eye out!

SMO Snow Brochure G.png

Three Keys to the Kingdom

  1. Swim only in short bursts if you like being warm enough to stay alive.
  2. Dig for the gate to the town, which is frequently buried in the snow.
  3. Bound your way through a race (build and species permitting).

Checkpoint Flag locations

Odyssey

SMO Snow Moon 38.png
Main article: Odyssey

The Odyssey lands on a clifftop in the southwest corner of the kingdom. Hint Toad and Uncle amiibo are nearby. After activating the Moon Rock, a Power Moon can be found floating next to the Odyssey.

Above the Ice Well

A group of two Regional Coins in the Snow Kingdom.

This Checkpoint Flag is next to the hole that leads to Shiveria Town. In the area surrounding the hole is a frozen seed and Ty-foo guarding a Moon Shard. Mario can climb up the ledges of an ice pillar and jump to the one on the other side to find a Power Moon buried beneath it.

German Über dem Eisbrunnen[?] Above The Ice Spring

Corner of the Freezing Sea

The twenty-second Power Moon of the Snow Kingdom.

This Checkpoint Flag is on the northeast corner of the kingdom in next to the door that leads to the Koopa Trace-Walking minigame. Iceburn Circuit is nearby, but cannot be entered until the Moon Rock is activated.

Snow Kingdom Clifftop

SMO Snow Moon 33.png

Southwest of the Odyssey's landing site is a small snowy platform jutting out of the cliffside where a treasure chest containing Power Moon #33, "Secret Path to Shiveria!", can be found. It can be accessed via a painting leading to the Snow Kingdom. Where the painting is found depends on what order the kingdoms are visited in. If the player visits the Snow Kingdom before the Seaside Kingdom, then the painting can be found between some trees near the Odyssey in the Mushroom Kingdom. If the player visits the Snow Kingdom after the Seaside Kingdom, then the painting can be found behind the left building at the Main Courtyard Entrance in Bowser's Kingdom. Though the clifftop is intended to only be accessible via painting or Checkpoint Flag, it is possible to reach it by jumping from the roof of the Odyssey using a specific sequence of movements.

Paintings

The painting that leads to the Cascade Kingdom

There are two paintings in this kingdom. One can be accessed by capturing a Ty-foo and taking it to where a wood piece is. With the Ty-foo, the wood piece must be blown up until it touches a snow wall. Then, Mario must un-capture it and go to the painting. It takes the player either to the Iron Cage at the Wooded Kingdom, the Island in the Sky at the Cascade Kingdom, or the Viewing Balcony in the Lake Kingdom. It can only be accessed after collecting the The Bound Bowl Grand Prix Multi Moon.

The other painting can only be accessed, by normal means, from a painting in either Bowser's Kingdom or the Mushroom Kingdom.

Main article: List of Power Moons in the Snow Kingdom

There are a total of 57 Power Moons (54 regular Power Moons and 1 Multi Moon) in the Snow Kingdom. During the player's first visit to this kingdom, they can collect 32 Power Moons and the Multi Moon, including one from the kingdom's Hint Art. The player can also collect a Power Moon if they travel to this kingdom using a painting found in a future kingdom (either the Mushroom or Bowser's Kingdom). After the player defeats Bowser in the Moon Kingdom, 3 more Power Moons become available to collect. The Moon Rock will also be available to destroy, causing 18 additional Power Moons to be accessible.

In order to progress to the next kingdom, the player must collect at least 10 Power Moons.
