{Zippers are capturable objects in Super Mario Odyssey. A zipper holds a thin portion of the terrain in place, like how real world zippers work but on a much grander scale. They appear only in the Lake Kingdom.
When captured, Mario controls the slider. He can move in a set direction across the teeth of the zipper, undoing the hold. (The teeth are not visible until unzipped, though a seam is apparent.) He can move backward to put the teeth back together, to no effect, and moving back to the start makes Mario automatically pop out. Mario cannot release this object unless he is at the start. Once Mario moves across all of the teeth to make a full loop, the zipper will disappear and the section of terrain, it once held will fall out and vanish. Mario's trajectory upon leaving a zipper is custom set, so that he lands on a nearby platform. Switches, Power Moons, and coins are among the objects that can be found behind a zipper. Zippers can be found underwater; while capturing such a zipper Mario's air meter is absent, and when he leaves the air meter will be full.
In bonus areas, zippers are attached to blue material that either opens outward to serve as a platform, or falls away without the teeth to hold it together. Their teeth are always visible, even after being unzipped, but the slider Mario uses to capture them also vanishes. Some of those zippers do not let Mario move backward. He also does not automatically pop out if he returns to the start.
Zippers cannot take damage, as they defeat enemies like Mini Goombas and Cheep Cheeps on contact. This is true even when they are not moving.
