Bowser's Kingdom is the thirteenth kingdom visited in Super Mario Odyssey. It is the home of Bowser and the greater location of his castle. Unlike in most games, in which it has a Western European design, this castle is a lush, flowering traditional Japanese castle, with a concentric series of walls and baileys, a traditional garden and tea house, and a central keep. Instead of the usual lava, its moats are filled with Poisoned Water.
Brochure details[edit]
 Mallets big enough to climb on. Terrifying Gatekeepers[edit]
Don't run afoul of the Stairface Ogres that guard this kingdom. When they spot an intruder, they bring their huge mallets down, no questions asked. On the other hand, you have to admire their tenacity and work ethic. The scars on their faces show they don't give up easily.
 Architecture as lovely as the scenery. Beautiful Tile Work[edit]
This kingdom's architecture is unique. Roofs are made of heavy, layered tiles that will not budge even if walked upon. They also create a uniformity in the overall design, enhancing the beauty of the palace.
Though you can move along the roofs, this palace rests quite high in the sky, and if you fall off, you will most definitely die. It's not the surest footing either, so be careful.
 Statues or not, they're certainly imposing. Statues Guard the Court[edit]
The palace tower highlights the inner citadel, and the gate leading to it is guarded by fearsome statues.
The statues are fashioned after gods of wind and thunder, the perfect motif for a sky palace, and since they are modeled on Bowser, the ruler of this kingdom, they serves as a warning to foes here and abroad.
 Beware rolling ordinance. Impressive Fortifications[edit]
Surrounding the inner citadel are the second and third courts. The second court is especially fortified, with many cannons to repel invaders. Cannonballs often roll along the ground, and many tourists fall trying to evade them. Legends speak of invaders repelling the cannonballs with spears, but no mere mortal could hope to do this, so try not to get too close!
 These statues, called jizo, stand in a row. An Oasis of Calm[edit]
This elegant garden is a balm for the brutality of this kingdom and will help you forget all the hardships you faced to reach it. You can even buy souvenirs, so be sure you stop by!
The Hole Thing[edit]
All along the walls, these holes were meant to allow defenders to shoot at invaders, but nowadays you're more likely to find a demon or a snake coming out than an arrow.

- Many ornaments strewn throughout the kingdom, such as the nobori and the chōchin, contain the kanji 寿 (Kotobuki), which means "long life". Some chōchin additionally contain the compound 空覇 (can also be read as Kuppa, Bowser’s Japanese name), literally meaning "celestial supremacy".
- The kingdom's industry (hanafuda cards) may be a reference to Nintendo's origins as a card company.
