“What is the secret you're seeking? I know it, I know it, ha HA! I can't tell you, but I'll give you a clue: (random name of the Power Moon) ♪ It's hiding somewhere and no peeking! ♪ Go find it, go find it, scra-CAW!”
Talkatoo, Super Mario Odyssey

Talkatoo is a yellow parrot wearing a brown explorer's hat from Super Mario Odyssey. Its name is a portmanteau of "talk" and "cockatoo." It appears in every kingdom except for the Dark Side and Darker Side, but only starts appearing after completing Multi Moon Atop the Falls in the Cascade Kingdom.

It likes to gives names of Power Moons that Mario does not have to Mario when consulted. Talkatoo's message consists of this recurring sentence: "I can't tell you, but I'll give you a clue: (random name of the Power Moon) ♪ It's hiding somewhere and no peeking! ♪ Go find it, go find it, scra-CAW!". This adds the name of the Power Moon to the Power Moon List, and marks that row with a Talkatoo icon. Talkatoo can only provide three such clues at a time for each kingdom, talking to him again while this limit is met means Talkatoo repeats a name it has already provided. Obtaining the Power Moon removes Talkatoo's icon from the entry in the Power Moon List and frees up another slot for a hint. Once Mario has collected every Power Moon in a kingdom, Talkatoo will not provide more hints for that kingdom.

During the fight against Mollusque-Lanceur, Talkatoo only squawks in fear and does not provide hints when prompted.
