When he arrives here, he is introduced to the game's main collectible, the [[Power Moon]]s, as well as the [[Odyssey]], a hat-shaped airship used to travel between the game's kingdoms. During his first visit here, Mario must defeat [[Madame Broode]] in order to collect a [[Multi Moon]], which is used to power up the Odyssey and allow it to travel to the next kingdom - the [[Sand Kingdom]].
 
The Cascade Kingdom is one of the few kingdoms in the game that does not have any known residents, even though [[dinosaur]]s, and in particular, [[T-Rex]]es, are known to live there, though the brochure implies that [[Bonneter]]s may have also lived there in the past. It is located east of the Cap Kingdom and west of the Sand Kingdom.

==Checkpoint Flag locations==
===Waterfall Basin/Odyssey===
[[File:SMO-ND0913-SCRN23.jpg|thumb|Mario witnesses the Waterfall Basin with a checkpoint up front.]]
This is the starting area of the kingdom where Mario finds himself after leaving the [[Cap Kingdom]]. During later visits, the [[Odyssey]] lands in this area. Initially, there is a [[Checkpoint Flag]] in this area, which [[Missable content|permanently vanishes]] in later visits since it is replaced with the one on the Odyssey. South of the Checkpoint Flag, on a small ledge overlooking the [[pit|abyss]], are three regional coins. Nearby is a [[pole]] Mario can climb, with a [[spark pylon]] on top. A [[hat cloud]] is also nearby.
Shortly ahead, between the basin and the waterfall, are a few piles of dirt and fossils. Additionally, there is a [[Chain Chomp]] in the area, as well as a [[Crazy Cap]] shop run by [[Bonneter]]s which appears later in the game. The [[Roving Racers]] are found here after completing the story, and this area serves as the starting point for the Cascade Kingdom's [[Koopa Freerunning]] race.

===Stone Bridge===
[[File:SMO Stone Bridge.png|thumb|Mario battles a horde of Burrbos on the Stone Bridge.]]
At the north end of the map is a stone bridge where many [[Burrbo]]s spawn. [[Mario]] may reach this area by moving along platforms attached to a wall on the side, where he may find a few [[regional coin]]s along the way. To provide a shortcut, he may [[capture]] either a [[Big Chain Chomp]] or [[T-Rex]] to demolish the rubble in the way. Near the [[Checkpoint Flag]] for this area is a small circle of sprouts with a sign providing information on how to perform a [[Cap Throw|Spin Throw]], which can be used to turn the sprouts into flowers, revealing a [[heart (item)|heart]]. To the right of the Checkpoint Flag is a narrow ledge leading to the entrance of a secret area, although it is blocked off by a boulder during Mario's first visit.

===Top of the Big Stump===
[[File:SMO Top of the Big Stump.jpg|thumb|A checkpoint seen on the big stump near the cliffs.]]
On top of a high ledge next to the [[Odyssey]]'s original location is a tree stump with a Checkpoint Flag on it overlooking an area with [[Chain Chomp]]s and a [[Big Chain Chomp]]. It can be accessed normally once Mario [[capture]]s a Chain Chomp to destroy some [[Rock Block]]s blocking the [[Warp Pipe]] leading to the area. There are four [[regional coin]]s nearby as well as the [[List of Power Moons in the Cascade Kingdom#Above a High Cliff|Above a High Cliff]] [[Power Moon]] and a [[Warp Door]] leading to the Dinosaur Nest bonus area.

}}
===Fossil Falls Heights===
[[File:SMO Fossil Falls Heights.jpg|thumb|A checkpoint seen in front of a duo of Chain Chomps near the summit.]]
This Checkpoint Flag is found at the summit of Fossil Falls. For the most part, Fossil Falls Heights is made up of two small platforms with a short bridge connecting them. On one side, there are two [[Chain Chomp]]s, a [[Checkpoint Flag]], and a pole [[Cappy]] suggest Mario climb up. Mario must capture one of the Chain Chomps to fling them at the rubble blocking off the other side, where Madame Broode is then fought. A number of [[Power Moon]]s can be found on this side, though not until future visits. Power Moon #8: Across the Floating Isles appears next to the summit. A scarecrow also appears in the area where Madame Broode is battled. Tossing Cappy onto it activates Cascade Kingdom Timer Challenge 2, where Mario must perform two [[Triple Jump]]s to reach a Power Moon at the top. A piece of [[Hint Art]] in the [[Dark Side]] depicts [[Poochy]] buring a Power Moon somewhere in the Cascade Kingdom. This Power Moon can be found buried in the outer edge of the arena.
Below the summit is a ledge with a [[Moon Rock]]. [[Captain Toad]] may be found on the adjacent ledge, where he provides Mario Power Moon #11: Good Morning, Captain Toad! After activating this kingdom's Moon Rock, three other Power Moons become available for collection, all of which are found in Fossil Falls Heights. Power Moon #29: Next to the Stone Arch can be obtained by jumping off the bridge. Power Moon #30: Guarded by a Colossal Fossil, must be revealed by tossing and holding down Cappy onto the glowing spot of the triceratops head fossil. Mario may capture one of the Chain Chomps on the other side and launch them toward a fossil piece near the [[spark pylon]] to reveal Power Moon #33: Inside the Busted Fossil.
A speedy method of reaching Fossil Falls Heights involves capturing the [[T-Rex]], revealing the [[trampoline]] at the base of its nest, and using it to gain a lot of height before diving toward the summit.

===Island in the Sky===
[[File:SMO Cascade Moon 18.png|thumb|Mario stands next to a checkpoint on an island in the sky.]]
This island is found above the main part of the Cascade Kingdom. It can be accessed using a [[painting]] found in either the [[Snow Kingdom]] or the [[Seaside Kingdom]], depending on which kingdom the player chooses to go to first. Located on the island is the [[List of Power Moons in the Cascade Kingdom#Secret Path to Fossil Falls!|Secret Path to Fossil Falls!]] [[Power Moon]].

There are a total of 42 [[Power Moon]]s (39 regular Power Moons and 1 [[Multi Moon]]) in the Cascade Kingdom. During the player's first visit to this kingdom, they can collect 16 of the Power Moons and the Multi Moon. After the player leaves this kingdom and comes back (at any point), 2 more Power Moons are available to collect. The player can also collect a Power Moon if they travel to this kingdom using a [[painting]] found in a future kingdom (either the [[Snow Kingdom|Snow]] or [[Seaside Kingdom|Seaside]] Kingdom). One additional Power Moon can also be found when the player encounters the [[Tostarenan]] tourist in the kingdom. After the player defeats Bowser in the [[Moon Kingdom]], 4 more Power Moons become available to collect. The [[Moon Rock]] will also be available to destroy, causing 15 additional Power Moons to be accessible.

In order to power up the Odyssey and progress to the next kingdom, the player must collect at least 5 Power Moons. There are not enough Power Moons to reach that number before completing Multi Moon Atop the Falls, so it and Our First Power Moon are normally required. There is a skip which allows the player to collect a fifth Power Moon without completing Multi Moon Atop the Falls. A very complex series of [[jump]]s, dives, and [[Cap Throw]]s can be done in two player mode, which would allow a player to get the "[[List of Power Moons in the Cascade Kingdom#Secret Path to Fossil Falls!|Secret Path to Fossil Falls!]]" Power Moon without using the painting.<ref>{{cite|author=Lowest Percent|date=Nov 6, 2020|title=How Speedrunners beat Mario Odyssey without Cappy (almost)|url=https://youtu.be/L5aQzCJW5-s|timestamp="7:07"|publisher=Youtube|accessdate=Sept 14, 2024}}</ref> Alternatively, a [[List of Super Mario Odyssey glitches|glitch]] can be used to obtain that Power Moon.<ref>{{cite|author=Lowest Percent|date=Nov 6, 2020|title=How Speedrunners beat Mario Odyssey without Cappy (almost)|url=https://youtu.be/L5aQzCJW5-s|timestamp="16:47"|publisher=Youtube|accessdate=Sept 14, 2024}}</ref>

The Cascade Kingdom is the second kingdom visited in Super Mario Odyssey. It is the greater location of Fossil Falls, which is a prehistoric dinosaur-themed area. The main landmark of this kingdom is the waterfall flowing down from the skeleton of a Triceratops, while its background appears to be inspired from the real-life Iguazu Falls located between Argentina and Brazil. Mario first arrives in this kingdom via a power line connected to a spark pylon located on top of the Top-Hat Tower in the Cap Kingdom, but the wire snaps and falls away upon his exit. When he arrives here, he is introduced to the game's main collectible, the Power Moons, as well as the Odyssey, a hat-shaped airship used to travel between the game's kingdoms. During his first visit here, Mario must defeat Madame Broode in order to collect a Multi Moon, which is used to power up the Odyssey and allow it to travel to the next kingdom - the Sand Kingdom.

The Cascade Kingdom is one of the few kingdoms in the game that does not have any known residents, even though dinosaurs, and in particular, T-Rexes, are known to live there, though the brochure implies that Bonneters may have also lived there in the past. It is located east of the Cap Kingdom and west of the Sand Kingdom.

Concept and creation[edit]

Concept art of Fossil Falls in Super Mario Odyssey.
Concept art of Fossil Falls

To give the impression that there was going to be a magnificent adventure, Fossil Falls was designed with impressive elements such as a spreading blue sky, a huge waterfall, and a T-Rex.[1] The main differences between the concept art and the final design lie in the sleeping T-Rex wearing a red top hat and the presence of pterasaurs flying in the sky.

A Tall Drink of Water

There are many waterfalls in the Cascade Kingdom, but the area known as Fossil Falls is a special one.

There are few sights in nature as grand as the millions of gallons of water pouring every second out of this giant triceratops skeleton.

Like a huge axe planted in the ground.

Nature in Balance

The stone spire standing near the great falls has miraculously remained balanced upright in this position, presumably for eons.

Of particular interest are the cubes of unknown material embedded in the stone. These cubes are the reason for the common theory that the spire somehow fell from the sky. While this theory is difficult to prove, it is equally hard to doubt when looking at this miraculous stone structure.

What secrets hide within the barrier?

The Ancient Wall

No ordinary cliff face, this structure was carved out painstakingly over many long years by people unknown. The wall is composed mainly of fossils, and evidence suggests it has been broken many times, causing some to suggest that something is buried inside. Visitors are encouraged to explore the mysteries surrounding the Great Barrier, if they dare.

Researchers believe this specimen is female.

The Prehistoric Tyrant

The biggest draw for tourists to this area is that dinosaurs still live here. Many people willingly put themselves at considerable risk for a glimpse of the ancient "terrible lizards."

T-Rex, most terrible of all dinosaurs, can pulverize a boulder with a single blow. On the other hand, most people don't realize how much time they spend napping.

Old, but not as ancient as its surroundings.

An Old, Odd Structure

No one knows how a Bonneton-style structure got buried here. Bonneters travel often, so they may have lived here in the past. It is a helpful landmark if you get lost, though.

Natural Patterns: The Fossil

If you look closely at the stone walls, you will notice fossils mixed in. Think of it as nature's mosaic, and remember it always.

SMO Cascade Brochure G.png

Three Keys to the Kingdom

  1. Experience the glory of nature with the eye-popping Great Falls.
  2. See dinosaurs, prehistoric rulers of a bygone age.
  3. Find treasures of the past, tucked away everywhere you look.

Checkpoint Flag locations[edit]

Waterfall Basin/Odyssey[edit]

Super Mario Odyssey screenshot
Mario witnesses the Waterfall Basin with a checkpoint up front.

This is the starting area of the kingdom where Mario finds himself after leaving the Cap Kingdom. During later visits, the Odyssey lands in this area. Initially, there is a Checkpoint Flag in this area, which permanently vanishes in later visits since it is replaced with the one on the Odyssey. South of the Checkpoint Flag, on a small ledge overlooking the abyss, are three regional coins. Nearby is a pole Mario can climb, with a spark pylon on top. A hat cloud is also nearby.

Shortly ahead, between the basin and the waterfall, are a few piles of dirt and fossils. Additionally, there is a Chain Chomp in the area, as well as a Crazy Cap shop run by Bonneters which appears later in the game. The Roving Racers are found here after completing the story, and this area serves as the starting point for the Cascade Kingdom's Koopa Freerunning race.

German Wasserfallbecken[?] Waterfall Pool
Spanish (NOE) Base de la catarata[?] Waterfall Basin

Stone Bridge[edit]

Mario battles a horde of Burrbos on the Stone Bridge.

At the north end of the map is a stone bridge where many Burrbos spawn. Mario may reach this area by moving along platforms attached to a wall on the side, where he may find a few regional coins along the way. To provide a shortcut, he may capture either a Big Chain Chomp or T-Rex to demolish the rubble in the way. Near the Checkpoint Flag for this area is a small circle of sprouts with a sign providing information on how to perform a Spin Throw, which can be used to turn the sprouts into flowers, revealing a heart. To the right of the Checkpoint Flag is a narrow ledge leading to the entrance of a secret area, although it is blocked off by a boulder during Mario's first visit.

Top of the Big Stump[edit]

Top of the Big Stump in the Cascade Kingdom
A checkpoint seen on the big stump near the cliffs.

On top of a high ledge next to the Odyssey's original location is a tree stump with a Checkpoint Flag on it overlooking an area with Chain Chomps and a Big Chain Chomp. It can be accessed normally once Mario captures a Chain Chomp to destroy some Rock Blocks blocking the Warp Pipe leading to the area. There are four regional coins nearby as well as the Above a High Cliff Power Moon and a Warp Door leading to the Dinosaur Nest bonus area.

Spanish (NOE) El gran tocón[?] The Big Stump

Fossil Falls Heights[edit]

Fossil Falls Heights in the Cascade Kingdom
A checkpoint seen in front of a duo of Chain Chomps near the summit.

This Checkpoint Flag is found at the summit of Fossil Falls. For the most part, Fossil Falls Heights is made up of two small platforms with a short bridge connecting them. On one side, there are two Chain Chomps, a Checkpoint Flag, and a pole Cappy suggest Mario climb up. Mario must capture one of the Chain Chomps to fling them at the rubble blocking off the other side, where Madame Broode is then fought. A number of Power Moons can be found on this side, though not until future visits. Power Moon #8: Across the Floating Isles appears next to the summit. A scarecrow also appears in the area where Madame Broode is battled. Tossing Cappy onto it activates Cascade Kingdom Timer Challenge 2, where Mario must perform two Triple Jumps to reach a Power Moon at the top. A piece of Hint Art in the Dark Side depicts Poochy buring a Power Moon somewhere in the Cascade Kingdom. This Power Moon can be found buried in the outer edge of the arena.

Below the summit is a ledge with a Moon Rock. Captain Toad may be found on the adjacent ledge, where he provides Mario Power Moon #11: Good Morning, Captain Toad! After activating this kingdom's Moon Rock, three other Power Moons become available for collection, all of which are found in Fossil Falls Heights. Power Moon #29: Next to the Stone Arch can be obtained by jumping off the bridge. Power Moon #30: Guarded by a Colossal Fossil, must be revealed by tossing and holding down Cappy onto the glowing spot of the triceratops head fossil. Mario may capture one of the Chain Chomps on the other side and launch them toward a fossil piece near the spark pylon to reveal Power Moon #33: Inside the Busted Fossil.

A speedy method of reaching Fossil Falls Heights involves capturing the T-Rex, revealing the trampoline at the base of its nest, and using it to gain a lot of height before diving toward the summit.

Island in the Sky[edit]

The eighteenth Power Moon of the Cascade Kingdom.
Mario stands next to a checkpoint on an island in the sky.

This island is found above the main part of the Cascade Kingdom. It can be accessed using a painting found in either the Snow Kingdom or the Seaside Kingdom, depending on which kingdom the player chooses to go to first. Located on the island is the Secret Path to Fossil Falls! Power Moon.

Enemies[edit]

Enemies marked with an asterisk (*) are only found in bonus areas.

Objectives[edit]

  1. Our First Power Moon: The goal is to obtain the first Power Moon found by the Waterfall Basin.
  2. Multi Moon Atop the Falls: The goal is to defeat Madame Broode to obtain the first Multi Moon.

Paintings[edit]

The painting that leads to Bowser's Kingdom

There are two paintings in this kingdom. At the right side of the bridge behind the waterfall near the Odyssey's initial location, there is a small cave with some regional coins that can be accessed by swimming to it. Inside, there is a painting that leads to the Island in the Sky at Bowser's Kingdom that can be only entered after completing the main game.

The other painting is located at the Island in the Sky, which can only be accessed from a painting in the Seaside Kingdom or the Snow Kingdom.

Power Moons[edit]

The Cascade Kingdom has yellow Power Moons.
Main article: List of Power Moons in the Cascade Kingdom

There are a total of 42 Power Moons (39 regular Power Moons and 1 Multi Moon) in the Cascade Kingdom. During the player's first visit to this kingdom, they can collect 16 of the Power Moons and the Multi Moon. After the player leaves this kingdom and comes back (at any point), 2 more Power Moons are available to collect. The player can also collect a Power Moon if they travel to this kingdom using a painting found in a future kingdom (either the Snow or Seaside Kingdom). One additional Power Moon can also be found when the player encounters the Tostarenan tourist in the kingdom. After the player defeats Bowser in the Moon Kingdom, 4 more Power Moons become available to collect. The Moon Rock will also be available to destroy, causing 15 additional Power Moons to be accessible.

In order to power up the Odyssey and progress to the next kingdom, the player must collect at least 5 Power Moons. There are not enough Power Moons to reach that number before completing Multi Moon Atop the Falls, so it and Our First Power Moon are normally required. There is a skip which allows the player to collect a fifth Power Moon without completing Multi Moon Atop the Falls. A very complex series of jumps, dives, and Cap Throws can be done in two player mode, which would allow a player to get the "Secret Path to Fossil Falls!" Power Moon without using the painting.[2] Alternatively, a glitch can be used to obtain that Power Moon.[3]

Regional coins[edit]
