The '''Lake Kingdom''' is a region featured in ''[[Super Mario Odyssey]]'', and can either be the fourth or the fifth location visited, depending on if the player selects to go here or to the [[Wooded Kingdom]] after leaving the [[Sand Kingdom]]. It is the greater location of '''Lake Lamode''', a large lake area with an underwater plaza area. This kingdom is renowned for its fashion designers and clothes, including the prized [[Lochlady Dress]]. When Mario first visits here, the [[Broodals]] can be found at the [[Water Plaza]] in the process of stealing the Lochlady Dress. Mario encounters the Broodals at the [[Lake Kingdom#Water Plaza Terrace|Water Plaza Terrace]], where he must defeat [[Rango]], which will reward the player with a [[Multi Moon]]. Collecting the Multi Moon restores the Water Plaza to its former glory, allowing access to more Power Moons. Once Mario collects enough Power Moons, he can access the next kingdom - either the Wooded Kingdom (if the player has not yet visited it) or the [[Cloud Kingdom]] (if both the Wooded and Lake Kingdoms have been visited). | |||

===Underwater Entrance=== | |||
[[File:SMO Underwater Entrance.jpg|thumb]] | |||
This [[Checkpoint Flag]] is placed at the start of the open lake section, at the end of the tunnel divided into sections referred to as the '''Spiky Passage''' and '''Spiky Waterway'''. The Checkpoint Flag is below openings in the wall, one of which holds a [[Power Moon]]. The tunnel itself is accessed by using the [[Zipper (Super Mario Odyssey)|Zipper]] in front of the Odyssey to pull away the gate, revealing the beginning of the passage. As it suggests, the floor is covered in spikes, with a spout in the middle providing [[bubble]]s for more air. There is a seed here Mario may take to the pot on the first floor of the Water Plaza to grow a Power Moon. Later on, in the waterway, Mario must take the path on the left to head out of the tunnel, or head right to a hidden treasure chest containing a Power Moon. On the way out, Mario may run into [[Komboo]]s he can defeat. | |||

===Courtyard=== | |||
[[File:SMO Lake Courtyard.jpg|thumb]] | |||
{{main|Courtyard (Lake Kingdom)}} | |||
The Courtyard is located on a ledge next to the Odyssey's landing site. When Mario first arrives, the stairs leading to the Courtyard are broken, though it is still possible to Mario to reach it without the stairs. Alternatively, Mario can swim through the tunnel and use the [[Hat Trampoline]] on the other side. There is a pool here with a [[Lake Kingdom#Paintings|painting]] in it as well as several [[Goomba]]s surrounding the pool. After completing the story mission [[Broodals Over the Lake]], the stairs are fixed and a [[Lakitu]] starts fishing in the pool. The Lakitu can be captured and used to reel in a [[Big Cheep Cheep]], which yields a Power Moon. | |||
===Water Plaza Entrance=== | |||
[[File:SMO Water Plaza Entrance.jpg|thumb]] | |||
This Checkpoint Flag is found at the entrance on the first floor of the [[Water Plaza]]. There are two pillars outside of the dome, one shorter than the other. Mario may [[Ground Pound]] the taller pillar to discover a Power Moon. The back of the entrance is divided into alcoves. Mario may find a secret opening in the back of the third alcove to find a hidden Lochlady who gives him a Power Moon in exchange for keeping this location secret. There is a hole to a tunnel in the middle of the floor filled with water, circled by [[coin]]s. Mario may Ground Pound repeatedly to make it to the bottom before running out of air, or he may capture a [[Cheep Cheep]] to just swim straight to the bottom. Here, he may find [[Captain Toad]]'s campsite for this location. He provides Mario a Power Moon for speaking with him. After this kingdom's [[Moon Rock]] has been opened up, a hidden Power Moon can be found back here as well. | |||
In the spiky passage at the start of the kingdom, Mario may find a seed he must take to the Water Plaza entrance, where he must place it into the pot next to a concerned [[Lochlady]]. After a while, the seed fully blooms, allowing Mario to bust it open for a Power Moon. | |||

===Water Plaza Display Window=== | |||
[[File:SMO Water Plaza Display Window.jpg|thumb]] | |||
This Checkpoint Flag is located next to the [[Lochlady Dress]]'s display window. Due to the dress being stolen prior to Mario's initial visit, only the stand for the dress can be seen. The dress is returned here after completing the main story. The door to the display window is locked and guarded by a [[Lochlady]]. Mario must purchase clothes deemed suitable for swimming and show them to the Lochlady for granted access. While inside the display window, he may toss and hold [[Cappy]] onto the stand to receive a [[Power Moon]]. This works before or after the dress is returned. | |||

===Water Plaza Terrace=== | |||
[[File:SMO Water Plaza Terrace.jpg|thumb]] | |||
The Water Plaza Terrace serves as an arena in which [[Rango]] is fought and defeated for a [[Multi Moon]]. To reach this area, Mario must first get to the top of the Water Plaza via the water elevator on the third floor and cross over to the terrace using the [[Hat Trampoline]]s to clear the gaps. Along the way, Mario may pass through [[coin ring]]s and defeat [[Mini Goomba]]s before reaching the Checkpoint Flag in front of the arena the Broodals are circling in their airship. When Mario crosses into the arena, the airship flies in, and Rango hops off. During the battle, Mario is prevented from leaving the terrace. After Rango is defeated, he surrenders a Multi Moon Mario must collect to complete the mission. | |||
After defeating Rango, Mario may return to the terrace to find a scarecrow he must toss Cappy onto to initiate a timer challenge. Mario must perform [[Triple Jump]]s or [[Backward Somersault]]s to get up the blocks and collect the [[Power Moon]] above them before time runs out. | |||

The Viewing Balcony is a high ledge that can be seen across the lake from the Courtyard. It has a [[treasure chest]] containing a Power Moon. It can be accessed via the Lake Kingdom's secret painting. Where the painting is found depends on what order the kingdoms are visited. | |||
*If the player visits the Lake Kingdom before the [[Wooded Kingdom]] and visits the [[Snow Kingdom]] after the [[Seaside Kingdom]], then the painting can be found on a high cliff ledge at the north end of the starting area in the Snow Kingdom. | |||

Lake Kingdom | |
---|---|
Boss(es) | Rango |
Mission(s) | Broodals Over the Lake |
Power Moons | 44 |
Regional coins | 50 |
The Lake Kingdom is a region featured in Super Mario Odyssey, and can either be the fourth or the fifth location visited, depending on if the player selects to go here or to the Wooded Kingdom after leaving the Sand Kingdom. It is the greater location of Lake Lamode, a large lake area with an underwater plaza area. This kingdom is renowned for its fashion designers and clothes, including the prized Lochlady Dress. When Mario first visits here, the Broodals can be found at the Water Plaza in the process of stealing the Lochlady Dress. Mario encounters the Broodals at the Water Plaza Terrace, where he must defeat Rango, which will reward the player with a Multi Moon. Collecting the Multi Moon restores the Water Plaza to its former glory, allowing access to more Power Moons. Once Mario collects enough Power Moons, he can access the next kingdom - either the Wooded Kingdom (if the player has not yet visited it) or the Cloud Kingdom (if both the Wooded and Lake Kingdoms have been visited).
Based on its architectural structure and the several islands located here, the kingdom seems to be based on Greece. However, the name "Lake Lamode" comes from the French phrase à la mode, meaning "in fashion" or "stylish". The name of the Lochladies and the presence of Dorrie (a reference to the Loch Ness Monster) make a connection to Scotland.
The Lake Kingdom is located northeast of the Sand Kingdom, north of the Wooded Kingdom, and northwest of the Cloud Kingdom. The landmass these kingdoms are all located on resembles Pangaea.
Concept and creation[edit]
The building decorations, the rocks shaped like a drape and the light shaped like a lace were all designed following the motif of the wedding dress.[1] Another peculiar trait of the design is the whimsical atmosphere.[1]
The aquatic plants of the kingdom were designed following the motif of the sequin, and the design was completed by adding glitter that made them flicker in the water.[2]
Brochure details[edit]
Lake Kingdom "Land of Beauty and Clear Waters" | ||||
Lake Lamode "The town both in and on the lake." | ||||
Population | Middling | Size | Limited | |
Locals | Lochladies | Currency | Scale-shaped | |
Industry | Clothing, Design | Temperature | Average 79°F (26°C) |
The Domed Water Plaza
Lake Lamode, the land of fashion. The underwater Water Plaza is protected by a glass dome, but don't worry, there's air inside to breathe.
When you look up at the lake from within the plaza, you can see Dorrie swimming amid the stunning scenery.
Window Shopping
Considered the most luxurious garment this kingdom has to offer, the Lochlady Dress is displayed in the show window of the Water Plaza. Of all the garments created by the Lochladies, only the very best and most beautiful is selected for this great honor. It's a national treasure!
It's said that wearing this dress brings eternal happiness, so naturally every bride yearns for it. Sadly, this lovely, one-of-a-kind item is not for sale.
Zippers of Mystery
Fitting of a kingdom famous for its fashion, you can find zipper art all over the place here. Zippers can be securely fastened as well as opened and closed freely, so perhaps they have a deeper meaning...
That said, this particular zipper is more than decoration. It actually works, so stop by and give it a try.
Dorrie the Aquatic Buddy
This gentle creature spends its days swimming gracefully in Lake Lamode. If you're confident in your abilities, swimming alongside it might make for some wonderful memories.
Although able to live in any aquatic environment, some have heard Dorrie complain that the lake is too small. Keep an eye out for Dorrie-themed souvenirs, which tourists just love!
Soaked in History
Once a spot for designers to relax and even dye cloth, this soaking pool has a rich history. Since most activity centers around the lake town, this is now a well-known fishing hole.
The Lovely Lochladies
Lochladies are exceedingly flexible, but they also possess a deep strength. Many have become accomplished designers, and this balance may be their secret.
Three Keys to the Kingdom
- Visit the Water Plaza, especially if you enjoy breathing air.
- Swim with the local Dorrie for an unforgettable experience.
- Admire the gown that qualifies as a national treasure!

Checkpoint Flag locations[edit]
Odyssey[edit]
- Main article: Odyssey
The Odyssey lands at the southeast corner of the map and can be warped back to at any time.
Underwater Entrance[edit]
This Checkpoint Flag is placed at the start of the open lake section, at the end of the tunnel divided into sections referred to as the Spiky Passage and Spiky Waterway. The Checkpoint Flag is below openings in the wall, one of which holds a Power Moon. The tunnel itself is accessed by using the Zipper in front of the Odyssey to pull away the gate, revealing the beginning of the passage. As it suggests, the floor is covered in spikes, with a spout in the middle providing bubbles for more air. There is a seed here Mario may take to the pot on the first floor of the Water Plaza to grow a Power Moon. Later on, in the waterway, Mario must take the path on the left to head out of the tunnel, or head right to a hidden treasure chest containing a Power Moon. On the way out, Mario may run into Komboos he can defeat.

German | Unterwasser-Eingang[?] | Underwater Entrance | |
Spanish (NOE) | Entrada subacuática[?] | Underwater Entrance |
Courtyard[edit]
- Main article: Courtyard (Lake Kingdom)
The Courtyard is located on a ledge next to the Odyssey's landing site. When Mario first arrives, the stairs leading to the Courtyard are broken, though it is still possible to Mario to reach it without the stairs. Alternatively, Mario can swim through the tunnel and use the Hat Trampoline on the other side. There is a pool here with a painting in it as well as several Goombas surrounding the pool. After completing the story mission Broodals Over the Lake, the stairs are fixed and a Lakitu starts fishing in the pool. The Lakitu can be captured and used to reel in a Big Cheep Cheep, which yields a Power Moon.
Water Plaza Entrance[edit]
This Checkpoint Flag is found at the entrance on the first floor of the Water Plaza. There are two pillars outside of the dome, one shorter than the other. Mario may Ground Pound the taller pillar to discover a Power Moon. The back of the entrance is divided into alcoves. Mario may find a secret opening in the back of the third alcove to find a hidden Lochlady who gives him a Power Moon in exchange for keeping this location secret. There is a hole to a tunnel in the middle of the floor filled with water, circled by coins. Mario may Ground Pound repeatedly to make it to the bottom before running out of air, or he may capture a Cheep Cheep to just swim straight to the bottom. Here, he may find Captain Toad's campsite for this location. He provides Mario a Power Moon for speaking with him. After this kingdom's Moon Rock has been opened up, a hidden Power Moon can be found back here as well.
In the spiky passage at the start of the kingdom, Mario may find a seed he must take to the Water Plaza entrance, where he must place it into the pot next to a concerned Lochlady. After a while, the seed fully blooms, allowing Mario to bust it open for a Power Moon.

Water Plaza Display Window[edit]
This Checkpoint Flag is located next to the Lochlady Dress's display window. Due to the dress being stolen prior to Mario's initial visit, only the stand for the dress can be seen. The dress is returned here after completing the main story. The door to the display window is locked and guarded by a Lochlady. Mario must purchase clothes deemed suitable for swimming and show them to the Lochlady for granted access. While inside the display window, he may toss and hold Cappy onto the stand to receive a Power Moon. This works before or after the dress is returned.

Water Plaza Terrace[edit]
The Water Plaza Terrace serves as an arena in which Rango is fought and defeated for a Multi Moon. To reach this area, Mario must first get to the top of the Water Plaza via the water elevator on the third floor and cross over to the terrace using the Hat Trampolines to clear the gaps. Along the way, Mario may pass through coin rings and defeat Mini Goombas before reaching the Checkpoint Flag in front of the arena the Broodals are circling in their airship. When Mario crosses into the arena, the airship flies in, and Rango hops off. During the battle, Mario is prevented from leaving the terrace. After Rango is defeated, he surrenders a Multi Moon Mario must collect to complete the mission.
After defeating Rango, Mario may return to the terrace to find a scarecrow he must toss Cappy onto to initiate a timer challenge. Mario must perform Triple Jumps or Backward Somersaults to get up the blocks and collect the Power Moon above them before time runs out.

Viewing Balcony[edit]
The Viewing Balcony is a high ledge that can be seen across the lake from the Courtyard. It has a treasure chest containing a Power Moon. It can be accessed via the Lake Kingdom's secret painting. Where the painting is found depends on what order the kingdoms are visited.
- If the player visits the Lake Kingdom before the Wooded Kingdom and visits the Snow Kingdom after the Seaside Kingdom, then the painting can be found on a high cliff ledge at the north end of the starting area in the Snow Kingdom.
- If the player visits the Lake Kingdom before the Wooded Kingdom and visits the Seaside Kingdom after the Snow Kingdom, then the painting can be found inside the Glass Palace at the center of the Seaside Kingdom.
- If the player visits the Lake Kingdom after the Wooded Kingdom, then the painting can be found a ledge hidden directly behind the Odyssey in the Metro Kingdom.
