==Areas==
'''Bowser's Kingdom''' is the thirteenth kingdom visited in ''[[Super Mario Odyssey]]''. It is the home of [[Bowser]] and the greater location of '''[[Bowser's Castle]]'''. Unlike most games, which feature a Western-European design for his castle, Bowser has constructed a new castle for his wedding with [[Princess Peach]]<ref>''[[The Art of Super Mario Odyssey]]'', page 263.</ref>, resulting in a lush, flowering traditional [[Japan|Japanese]] castle, with a concentric series of walls and baileys, a traditional garden and tea house, and a central keep. Instead of the usual [[lava]], its moats are filled with [[Poison (obstacle)|poison]].
*'''Third Courtyard:'''
 
*'''Second Courtyard:'''
At the end of the kingdom, Mario and Cappy must defeat [[RoboBrood]], a giant robot piloted by the [[Broodals]]. After defeating the Broodals, Mario and Cappy visit the [[Moon Kingdom]] to chase after Bowser and Princess Peach.

<big>Terrifying Gatekeepers</big>
 
''Don't run afoul of the Stairface Ogres that guard this kingdom. When they spot an intruder, they bring their huge mallets down, no questions asked. On the other hand, you have to admire their tenacity and work ethic. The scars on their faces show they don't give up easily.''
 
[[File:SMO Bowser Brochure B.png|thumb|200px|''Architecture as lovely as the scenery.'']]
<big>Beautiful Tile Work</big>
 
''This kingdom's architecture is unique. Roofs are made of heavy, layered tiles that will not budge even if walked upon. They also create a uniformity in the overall design, enhancing the beauty of the palace.''
 
''Though you can move along the roofs, this palace rests quite high in the sky, and if you fall off, you will most definitely die. It's not the surest footing either, so be careful.''

[[File:SMO Bowser Brochure D.png|thumb|left|150px|''Statues or not, they're certainly imposing.'']]
<big>Statues Guard the Court</big>
 
''The palace tower highlights the inner citadel, and the gate leading to it is guarded by fearsome statues.''
 
''The statues are fashioned after gods of wind and thunder, the perfect motif for a sky palace, and since they are modeled on Bowser, the ruler of this kingdom, they serve as a warning to foes here and abroad.''
 
[[File:SMO Bowser Brochure E.png|thumb|150px|''Beware rolling ordinance.'']]
<big>Impressive Fortifications</big>
 
''Surrounding the inner citadel are the second and third courts. The second court is especially fortified, with many cannons to repel invaders. Cannonballs often roll along the ground, and many tourists fall trying to evade them. Legends speak of invaders [[Pokio|repelling the cannonballs with spears]], but no mere mortal could hope to do this, so try not to get too close!''
 
[[File:SMO Bowser Brochure F.png|thumb|left|150px|''These statues, called [[jizo]], stand in a row.'']]
<big>An Oasis of Calm</big>
 
''This elegant garden is a balm for the brutality of this kingdom and will help you forget all the hardships you faced to reach it. You can even buy souvenirs, so be sure you stop by!''

==Checkpoint Flag locations==
===Odyssey===
[[File:SMO Bowser's Kingdom Odyssey.jpg|thumb]]
{{main|Odyssey}}
The Odyssey lands in the southwestern corner of the kingdom. [[Hint Toad]] and [[Uncle amiibo]] are nearby. Mario can throw [[Cappy]] onto one of the Bowser heads on the fence behind the Odyssey to spawn a Power Moon. After completing this kingdom's story objectives, [[Banktoad]] will appear near the front gate along with a [[Warp Pipe]] that leads to the left of the Beneath the Keep checkpoint.
 
===Third Courtyard (Front)===
[[File:SMO Third Courtyard flag.jpg|thumb]]
At the start of the area are two torches, a [[Checkpoint Flag]], and two [[Pokio]]s. Further to the right is an area with some crates, two [[Spiny|Spinies]], and three [[? Block]]s. The middle ? Block contains a [[Heart (item)|Heart]]. If [[Mario]] [[capture]]s a Pokio, he can fling himself to the upper level, where there is another Spiny, some crates, and a [[spark pylon]] which leads to [[Third Courtyard (Rear)]]. A wall with another Spiny and some [[regional coin]]s on it can also be found up here; if Mario falls off the right side of this wall, he finds a hidden platform with a Pokio and [[Power Moon]] #5, "[[List of Power Moons in Bowser's Kingdom#Behind the Big Wall|Behind the Big Wall]]".

===Third Courtyard (Rear)===
[[File:SMO Bowser's Moon 54.png|thumb]]
This area is reached after leaving Third Courtyard (Front) via a spark pylon. After some stairs, Mario reaches an enclosed area with two Spinies, three ? Blocks, and a rainbow treble clef on the left. The middle ? Block is a [[Coin Block]]. Above the middle ? Block is a [[Hidden Block]] containing a [[Heart (item)|Heart]]. If Mario touches the treble clef, [[Note]]s appear in the pen. Collecting all of them before time runs out makes [[Power Moon]] #18, "[[List of Power Moons in Bowser's Kingdom#Taking Notes: Between Spinies|Taking Notes: Between Spinies]]", appear in place of the treble clef. To the right of the pen are three [[coin ring]]s over a pit. After that is a [[Stairface Ogre]]. Once Mario defeats it, Power Moon #1, "[[List of Power Moons in Bowser's Kingdom#Infiltrate Bowser's Castle!|Infiltrate Bowser's Castle!]]" appears from behind. After collecting this Power Moon, the doors ahead open and stairs rise, taking Mario to an area with crates and a spark pylon which takes him to the Second Courtyard. In the crate section, Mario is able to get up onto the roof, where he can find some regional coins, as well as a Pokio on the side. Mario can capture the Pokio and poke the hole in the middle of the wall to reveal Power Moon #21, "[[List of Power Moons in Bowser's Kingdom#Poking Your Nose in the Plaster Wall|Poking Your Nose in the Plaster Wall]]".
 
After opening the kingdom's [[Moon Rock]], a second rainbow treble clef appears over the roof, on the side of the courtyard. Mario can touch this treble clef for notes to appear on the wall, which he must use a Pokio to collect. After collecting all of the notes in the given time, Power Moon #54, "[[List of Power Moons in Bowser's Kingdom#Taking Notes: On the Wall|Taking Notes: On the Wall]]", appears for Mario to collect.

===Second Courtyard===
[[File:SMO Second Courtyard flag.jpg|thumb]]
The spark pylon at the end of Third Courtyard (Rear) leads here. This area is armed with cannons that fire rolling [[bomb]]s, which can be used to destroy metal crates by using Cappy to alter their trajectory. The second story mission, [[Smart Bombing]], takes place here, in which Mario must collect five Moon Shards to spawn a Power Moon.

===Souvenir Shop===
[[File:Crazy Cap Bowsers Kingdom.jpg|thumb]]
[[File:SMO Souvenir Shop flag.jpg|thumb]]
This island is in between the Second Courtyard and Main Courtyard Entrance, and it consists of a [[Crazy Cap]] surrounded by a small garden. Behind the shop is a small sitting area. A [[New Donker]] stands next to a locked door in the back of the shoppe, granting Mario access to a secret area if he is wearing the Samurai Helmet and Samurai Armor.
 
There are two [[Jizo]] statues on the side of the shoppe. Mario may capture one and put it in place with the others in the garden to reveal a [[Power Moon]]. He may also break through a cracked stone slab nearby to find a hidden area with a missing Jizo. Once again, getting the Jizo into the correct position reveals a Power Moon. There is then a [[Warp Pipe]] taking Mario back to the surface. In the post-game, [[Princess Peach]], [[Tiara]] and two [[Steam Gardener]]s visit this area.

===Main Courtyard Entrance===
[[File:SMO Bowser Brochure D.png|thumb]]
[[File:SMO Main Courtyard Entrance flag.jpg|thumb]]
[[Hariet]] and [[Topper]] are fought in this area. The [[Checkpoint Flag]] is on the bridge in the middle. A [[Jizo]] statue is installed behind the building on the right. Mario may capture the statue and hop around a bit to find glowing spots have appeared in the ground. Moving the Jizo over these spots often reveals [[coin]]s, [[Heart (item)|heart]]s, and possibly a [[Life-Up Heart]]. There is a painting behind the building on the left leading to either the [[Snow Kingdom]] or [[Seaside Kingdom]] depending on the order in which they were visited. Three regional coins may also be found atop this building. There are two large, round platforms on either side of the large, golden [[Bowser Statue]]s. Mario must fight Topper on the platform on the right and Hariet on the platform on the left. Defeating both of them reveals a [[Power Moon]] between the platforms Mario must collect to complete the mission and open up a bridge to the Main Courtyard.
 
After this kingdom's Moon Rock has been cracked open, a few additional Power Moons become available in this area. Mario may return to where Topper was fought to find [[Yoofoe]], which must be defeated to earn a Power Moon. A lock also appears near the spark pylon here, in front of the flags floating nearby. Mario may grab on and use them as flagpoles to reach a key he must collect to unlock this Power Moon. The final Power Moon involves collecting all of the notes that appear over the platform on which Hariet was previously fought. Collecting them all in the limited time awards Mario this Power Moon.

===Beneath the Keep===
[[File:SMO Bowser's Moon 11.png|thumb]]
[[File:SMO Beneath the Keep flag.jpg|thumb]]
At the top of the Inner Wall, Mario will find a Checkpoint Flag on a bridge over a pool of poison. [[Talkatoo]] is found here, as is the leader of the [[Roving Racers]] later on. Up ahead is a spark pylon that takes Mario to the roof of a [[wikipedia:Tenshu|Tenshu]] with a massive golden model of Bowser's head within it. This is where Mario encounters Bowser and initiates the battle with [[RoboBrood]] over the arena.
 
Though most of the area surrounding the Checkpoint Flag is surrounded by poison, there are a few additional Power Moons as well as regional coins Mario can pick up. One of the buildings near the keep has a frame with Japanese writing. Mario must throw Cappy at it to knock it down, making the Power Moon appear. Another building in this area has a scarecrow initiating a timer challenge over the poison. [[Lakitu]] can also be found in this area, and may be used to "fish" in the poison moat. Reeling in the largest fish reveals [[Poochy]], and subsequently, a Power Moon.

==Trivia==
*Many ornaments strewn throughout the kingdom, such as the [[wikipedia:Nobori|nobori]] and the [[wikipedia:Traditional lighting equipment of Japan#Chōchin|chōchin]], contain the kanji {{hover|寿|ことぶき}} (''kotobuki''), which means "long life". Some chōchin additionally contain the compound {{hover|空覇|そらは}} (can also be read as ''kuppa'', Bowser's Japanese name), literally meaning "celestial supremacy". Put together, the kanji translates as "Long live King Bowser!"
*The kingdom's industry (hanafuda cards) may be a reference to Nintendo's origins as a card company.
*The Bowser statues seen during the boss battles against Topper and Hariet are based on the Japanese gods ''{{wp|Fūjin}}'', the god of winds, and ''{{wp|Raijin}}'', the god of thunder, respectively.
*While capturing a [[spark pylon]] in this kingdom, the sound it makes to the music is replaced by {{wp|Koto (instrument)|koto}} samples to reflect its Japanese theme. Additionally, if specific music is played in the [[List of Super Mario Odyssey media|Music List]], the sound will slow down.

Bowser's Kingdom is the thirteenth kingdom visited in Super Mario Odyssey. It is the home of Bowser and the greater location of Bowser's Castle. Unlike most games, which feature a Western-European design for his castle, Bowser has constructed a new castle for his wedding with Princess Peach[1], resulting in a lush, flowering traditional Japanese castle, with a concentric series of walls and baileys, a traditional garden and tea house, and a central keep. Instead of the usual lava, its moats are filled with poison.

At the end of the kingdom, Mario and Cappy must defeat RoboBrood, a giant robot piloted by the Broodals. After defeating the Broodals, Mario and Cappy visit the Moon Kingdom to chase after Bowser and Princess Peach.

Brochure details[edit]

SMO Bowser Brochure Art.png Bowser's Kingdom
"Well-Defended Castle Floating Among Glowing Clouds"
Bowser's Castle
"The castle that walled off the sky."
Population Middling Size Sprawling
Locals Stairface Ogres Currency Oblong
Industry Hanafuda cards Temperature Average 79°F (26°C)
Mallets big enough to climb on.

Terrifying Gatekeepers

Don't run afoul of the Stairface Ogres that guard this kingdom. When they spot an intruder, they bring their huge mallets down, no questions asked. On the other hand, you have to admire their tenacity and work ethic. The scars on their faces show they don't give up easily.

Architecture as lovely as the scenery.

Beautiful Tile Work

This kingdom's architecture is unique. Roofs are made of heavy, layered tiles that will not budge even if walked upon. They also create a uniformity in the overall design, enhancing the beauty of the palace.

Though you can move along the roofs, this palace rests quite high in the sky, and if you fall off, you will most definitely die. It's not the surest footing either, so be careful.

Statues or not, they're certainly imposing.

Statues Guard the Court

The palace tower highlights the inner citadel, and the gate leading to it is guarded by fearsome statues.

The statues are fashioned after gods of wind and thunder, the perfect motif for a sky palace, and since they are modeled on Bowser, the ruler of this kingdom, they serve as a warning to foes here and abroad.

Beware rolling ordinance.

Impressive Fortifications

Surrounding the inner citadel are the second and third courts. The second court is especially fortified, with many cannons to repel invaders. Cannonballs often roll along the ground, and many tourists fall trying to evade them. Legends speak of invaders repelling the cannonballs with spears, but no mere mortal could hope to do this, so try not to get too close!

These statues, called jizo, stand in a row.

An Oasis of Calm

This elegant garden is a balm for the brutality of this kingdom and will help you forget all the hardships you faced to reach it. You can even buy souvenirs, so be sure you stop by!

SMO Bowser Brochure C.png

The Hole Thing

All along the walls, these holes were meant to allow defenders to shoot at invaders, but nowadays you're more likely to find a demon or a snake coming out than an arrow.

SMO Bowser Brochure G.png

Three Keys to the Kingdom

  1. Dart past the silent and lethal Stairface Ogres.
  2. Avoid being distracted by the ominous (yet brightly glowing) clouds.
  3. Survive the various traps designed to end your trip early.

Checkpoint Flag locations[edit]

Odyssey[edit]

The Odyssey's location in Bowser's Kingdom
Main article: Odyssey

The Odyssey lands in the southwestern corner of the kingdom. Hint Toad and Uncle amiibo are nearby. Mario can throw Cappy onto one of the Bowser heads on the fence behind the Odyssey to spawn a Power Moon. After completing this kingdom's story objectives, Banktoad will appear near the front gate along with a Warp Pipe that leads to the left of the Beneath the Keep checkpoint.

Third Courtyard (Front)[edit]

Checkpoint Flag in the Third Courtyard in Bowser's Kingdom

At the start of the area are two torches, a Checkpoint Flag, and two Pokios. Further to the right is an area with some crates, two Spinies, and three ? Blocks. The middle ? Block contains a Heart. If Mario captures a Pokio, he can fling himself to the upper level, where there is another Spiny, some crates, and a spark pylon which leads to Third Courtyard (Rear). A wall with another Spiny and some regional coins on it can also be found up here; if Mario falls off the right side of this wall, he finds a hidden platform with a Pokio and Power Moon #5, "Behind the Big Wall".

Third Courtyard (Rear)[edit]

SMO Bowser's Moon 54.png

This area is reached after leaving Third Courtyard (Front) via a spark pylon. After some stairs, Mario reaches an enclosed area with two Spinies, three ? Blocks, and a rainbow treble clef on the left. The middle ? Block is a Coin Block. Above the middle ? Block is a Hidden Block containing a Heart. If Mario touches the treble clef, Notes appear in the pen. Collecting all of them before time runs out makes Power Moon #18, "Taking Notes: Between Spinies", appear in place of the treble clef. To the right of the pen are three coin rings over a pit. After that is a Stairface Ogre. Once Mario defeats it, Power Moon #1, "Infiltrate Bowser's Castle!" appears from behind. After collecting this Power Moon, the doors ahead open and stairs rise, taking Mario to an area with crates and a spark pylon which takes him to the Second Courtyard. In the crate section, Mario is able to get up onto the roof, where he can find some regional coins, as well as a Pokio on the side. Mario can capture the Pokio and poke the hole in the middle of the wall to reveal Power Moon #21, "Poking Your Nose in the Plaster Wall".

After opening the kingdom's Moon Rock, a second rainbow treble clef appears over the roof, on the side of the courtyard. Mario can touch this treble clef for notes to appear on the wall, which he must use a Pokio to collect. After collecting all of the notes in the given time, Power Moon #54, "Taking Notes: On the Wall", appears for Mario to collect.

The spark pylon at the end of Third Courtyard (Rear) leads here. This area is armed with cannons that fire rolling bombs, which can be used to destroy metal crates by using Cappy to alter their trajectory. The second story mission, Smart Bombing, takes place here, in which Mario must collect five Moon Shards to spawn a Power Moon.

Souvenir Shop[edit]

Crazy Cap found in Bowser's Kingdom
The Checkpoint Flag at the Souvenir Shop in Bowser's Kingdom

This island is in between the Second Courtyard and Main Courtyard Entrance, and it consists of a Crazy Cap surrounded by a small garden. Behind the shop is a small sitting area. A New Donker stands next to a locked door in the back of the shoppe, granting Mario access to a secret area if he is wearing the Samurai Helmet and Samurai Armor.

There are two Jizo statues on the side of the shoppe. Mario may capture one and put it in place with the others in the garden to reveal a Power Moon. He may also break through a cracked stone slab nearby to find a hidden area with a missing Jizo. Once again, getting the Jizo into the correct position reveals a Power Moon. There is then a Warp Pipe taking Mario back to the surface. In the post-game, Princess Peach, Tiara and two Steam Gardeners visit this area.

Main Courtyard Entrance[edit]

SMO Bowser Brochure D.png
The Checkpoint Flag at the Main Courtyard Entrance in Bowser's Kingdom

Hariet and Topper are fought in this area. The Checkpoint Flag is on the bridge in the middle. A Jizo statue is installed behind the building on the right. Mario may capture the statue and hop around a bit to find glowing spots have appeared in the ground. Moving the Jizo over these spots often reveals coins, hearts, and possibly a Life-Up Heart. There is a painting behind the building on the left leading to either the Snow Kingdom or Seaside Kingdom depending on the order in which they were visited. Three regional coins may also be found atop this building. There are two large, round platforms on either side of the large, golden Bowser Statues. Mario must fight Topper on the platform on the right and Hariet on the platform on the left. Defeating both of them reveals a Power Moon between the platforms Mario must collect to complete the mission and open up a bridge to the Main Courtyard.

After this kingdom's Moon Rock has been cracked open, a few additional Power Moons become available in this area. Mario may return to where Topper was fought to find Yoofoe, which must be defeated to earn a Power Moon. A lock also appears near the spark pylon here, in front of the flags floating nearby. Mario may grab on and use them as flagpoles to reach a key he must collect to unlock this Power Moon. The final Power Moon involves collecting all of the notes that appear over the platform on which Hariet was previously fought. Collecting them all in the limited time awards Mario this Power Moon.

At the top of the Inner Wall, Mario will find a Checkpoint Flag on a bridge over a pool of poison. Talkatoo is found here, as is the leader of the Roving Racers later on. Up ahead is a spark pylon that takes Mario to the roof of a Tenshu with a massive golden model of Bowser's head within it. This is where Mario encounters Bowser and initiates the battle with RoboBrood over the arena.

Though most of the area surrounding the Checkpoint Flag is surrounded by poison, there are a few additional Power Moons as well as regional coins Mario can pick up. One of the buildings near the keep has a frame with Japanese writing. Mario must throw Cappy at it to knock it down, making the Power Moon appear. Another building in this area has a scarecrow initiating a timer challenge over the poison. Lakitu can also be found in this area, and may be used to "fish" in the poison moat. Reeling in the largest fish reveals Poochy, and subsequently, a Power Moon.

The doorway leading to this room is reached by scaling the wall with spinning, wooden, circular panels as a Pokio. The coins do not reappear if Mario revisits the room after he has already collected them.

There is a total of 255 coins in the room, referencing a common hard limit in video games using 8-bit storage (and as such, the amount of coins the player could carry before glitching the game in Super Mario 64, among others).

Sky Slope Area 		Beanstalk On the eaves just below the gate to the Spinning Tower A sky area where Mario must collect as many Rocket Flowers to traverse a long slope to the other side. Unlike the other sky areas, the camera is positioned behind Mario by default rather than from the side. The seed that grows the beanstalk leading to this area can be found on the same eaves.
SMO Bowser's Moon 59.png
Hexagon Tower 		Moon Pipe On the isolated building northwest of the Main Courtyard A transparent hexagonal tower-like area featuring boulders that drop down like inside a pachinko machine, where Mario must capture a Parabones and use it to fly to the bottom of the tower to collect Moon Shards and a key required to obtain Power Moons, while avoiding the boulders on the way down and back.

Trivia[edit]

  • Many ornaments strewn throughout the kingdom, such as the nobori and the chōchin, contain the kanji 寿 (kotobuki), which means "long life". Some chōchin additionally contain the compound 空覇 (can also be read as kuppa, Bowser's Japanese name), literally meaning "celestial supremacy". Put together, the kanji translates as "Long live King Bowser!"
  • The kingdom's industry (hanafuda cards) may be a reference to Nintendo's origins as a card company.
  • The Bowser statues seen during the boss battles against Topper and Hariet are based on the Japanese gods Fūjin, the god of winds, and Raijin, the god of thunder, respectively.
  • While capturing a spark pylon in this kingdom, the sound it makes to the music is replaced by koto samples to reflect its Japanese theme. Additionally, if specific music is played in the Music List, the sound will slow down.
