Moon Kingdom
Template:SMOlocation-infobox The Moon Kingdom is a region in Super Mario Odyssey. It is the greater location of Honeylune Ridge, and the fourteenth kingdom accessed in the game. As its name suggests, it is located on the Moon; because of this, the gravity in the kingdom outdoors is much lighter than in previous kingdoms, enabling Mario to jump higher and farther and remain in the air for a longer period of time. Honeylune Ridge (a portmanteau of "honeymoon" and "lune") is the place set to hold Bowser and Princess Peach's wedding, therefore being Mario and Cappy's final destination in the main game.
After rescuing Princess Peach from Bowser, Mario and Cappy can visit the rest of the Mushroom Kingdom (other than Yoshi's House).
Brochure details
Wedding Hall
Legends tell of a moon goddess, and this wedding hall is said to have been created in her honor, though no one knows for sure. The stunning exterior contrasts beautifully with the black sky, a symbol of Honeylune Ridge. Weddings here are often open, so lucky travelers can join the party.
Lunar Life Forms
The surface of the moon is harsh, but a few creatures do live there. Take heed if tempted to study their unique shape and movement up close, as they have sharp spikes. it's probably best to observe them from a safe vantage point.
Interestingly, similar creatures can be found in the Seaside Kingdom. Did life on our planet (which began in the seas) actually originate on the moon?
Cubes of Mystery
Possessing unique metallic properties, it's hard to imagine how these cubic Moon Rocks formed naturally, but they can be found in great abundance up here. Similar rocks have also been found in various areas on the planet, and the method of their formation remains shrouded in mystery. We recommend seeking one out and pondering its mysteries up close!
Lunar Interior: Secrets
We've heard stories about extensive caverns beneath the lunar interior. There's an entrance directly into the moon rock that's easily accessed, but it sounds quite dangerous inside.
On the other hand, tales abound of thrills and mysteries waiting within, so it may be worth investigating. Be sure to take the necessary precautions before you go, though!
A View to Remember
Our world as seen from the Wedding Hall is something everyone needs to experience at least once in their life. With the planet as your witness, it's no wonder weddings are held here.
Moon Frog
This frog now lives in Honeylune Ridge. Brought to the moon by first pioneers, it's now considered a good omen for visitors. See one and you'll have a hoppy day!
