The Seaside Kingdom is a beach kingdom that appears in Super Mario Odyssey, being either the ninth or tenth kingdom visited, depending on whether the player chooses to go here or to the Snow Kingdom after leaving the Metro Kingdom. It is the greater location of Bubblaine, a cliffside beach resort area. Due to the local inhabitants being beret-clad snails, the boss having a French name, and two of the missions having a French title, the location may have been partially or fully inspired by France, most likely the Côte d'Azur, also known as the French Riviera. When Mario first arrives, Mollusque-Lanceur is sitting on top of the Glass Tower drinking all of the Sparkle Water, and the fountains are corked. To restore peace to the kingdom, Mario must uncork the fountains and defeat Mollusque-Lanceur.
It is daytime during Mollusque-Lanceur's attack on the kingdom. Once he is defeated, the time of day changes to dusk for the rest of the game.
Bubblaine was conceived as an elegant resort following the basic theme of golden champagne.[1] According to the concept art, a blue-colored Dorrie not wearing any hat nor goggles was supposed to be found swimming there.
The four fountains in Bubblaine spray seawater toward the Glass Tower. The ocean here is carbonated but otherwise unremarkable. However, when blended in the Glass Tower, it takes on a deep, elegant flavor and becomes Sparkle Water!
This treasured beverage is said to bring good fortune, happiness, and even romance to those who drink it, which has led to it being featured in many wedding ceremonies.
In addition to the fun resort spots found in Bubblaine, there are some notable dangerous locations as well. One of these is the underwater cave connected to the lighthouse where gigantic creatures called Maw-Rays make their nests and shoot out their long bodies in response to stimuli. A little caution can go a long way when exploring this place.
A ways away from the beach sits an outdoor bath fed by a natural hot spring. Featuring full ocean views, it has become quite popular with tourists. This spring was formed by volcanic activity on the ocean floor, and it's said to have numerous medicinal effects. Take one dip, and we're sure you'll fall for its charms. It's also a lovely natural reprieve from the modern resort developments.
When in Bubblaine, be sure to enjoy a game of beach volleyball on the local court. The on-site coach gives strong guidance, even for beginners. As they say around here, "Let's play!"
The Odyssey lands in the south central area of the kingdom. Hint Toad and Uncle amiibo are directly west of the landing site. After completion of the main story, a Nintendog can be found near the Odyssey and will help Mario find a hidden Power Moon.
Hot Spring Island is in the northeast corner of the kingdom. The Checkpoint Flag is on the northern edge of the spring. Prior to Mollusque-Lanceur's defeat the spring's surface is covered in lava, which can be removed by spraying it with a Gushen's water.
At the end of Rolling Canyon past a wall of crates, Mario will find a Checkpoint Flag, a Power Moon, and a button used to uncork one of the four fountains.
This Checkpoint Flag is near the base of the Glass Tower. Rocket Flowers and a treasure chest containing a Life-Up Heart are found nearby. After activating the Moon Rock, a rabbit can be found hopping around the Glass Tower.
The Diving Platform can be accessed via the Seaside Kingdom's secret painting. Where the painting is found depends on what order the kingdoms are visited.
In Bowser's Kingdom, the painting can be found behind the left building at the Main Courtyard Entrance.
In the Mushroom Kingdom, the painting can be found between some trees near the Odyssey.
It is possible to access the Diving Platform without using a painting by using a Gushen to reach the "Stone Pillar Seal" Power Moon, which refills the Gushen's water.[2] The player can also reach the Diving Platform by using a Gushen to jet from a high platform in the sea and near the Beach House. Once the player gets near the Diving Platform via Gushen, they must jump out of it to reach the platform.
At the bottom of the kingdom's northernmost ocean trench
A small, flooded treasure vault with a single treasure chest containing a Power Moon. Mario can only access this room after answering the Sphynx's question correctly.
A small room filled with Bubblainians where Mario performs a hula dance on the stage to earn a Power Moon. Mario can only enter this room while wearing the Resort Hat and Outfit or Sunshine Shades and Outfit.
A platforming area surrounded by a sea of clouds which Mario must clear by activating Pulse Beams while avoiding their rings. Many Burrbos are also found in this area.
A narrow, canyon-like area where Mario must capture a Gushen to navigate the canyon while avoiding the pits and poison. Small pools of water are present throughout to help Mario replenish the Gushen's water supply. The door leading to this area can only be reached as a Gushen.
The Sinking Island
Red door
Underwater below the small bridge on Hot Spring Island
A grassy area surrounded by a sea of lava, where Mario must capture an Uproot and use it to reach the top before it sinks into the lava while avoiding the Moonsnakes throughout the area. Even in Assist Mode, Mario will die and lose 10 coins if he touches lava.
Underwater north of Rolling Canyon near the on-land Komboos
A small, valley-like area where Mario must capture a Pokio and use its beak to knock bombs at the blocks in the center, opening a cage containing a Power Moon. Burrbos also appear in this area.
The Spinning Maze
Moon Pipe
Underwater northwest of the Lighthouse
A maze-like area featuring rotating doors, lifts, and Moon Shards Mario must collect to obtain a Power Moon, as well as Spinies scattered throughout the maze.
There are two paintings in this kingdom. One is located at the bottom of the Glass Tower's inside, next to a ring of coins and some air bubbles. It takes the player either to the Iron Cage at the Wooded Kingdom, the Island in the Sky at the Cascade Kingdom or the Viewing Balcony at the Lake Kingdom, and it can be accessed after defeating Mollusque-Lanceur.
There are a total of 73 Power Moons (70 regular Power Moons and 1 Multi Moon) in this kingdom. During the player's first visit to this kingdom, they can collect 48 Power Moons and the Multi Moon, including one from the kingdom's Hint Art. The player can also collect a Power Moon if they travel to this kingdom using a painting found in a future kingdom (either the Mushroom Kingdom or Bowser's Kingdom). After the player defeats Bowser in the Moon Kingdom, 2 more Power Moons become available to collect. The Moon Rock will also be available to destroy, causing 19 additional Power Moons to be accessible.
In order to progress to the next kingdom, the player must collect at least 10 Power Moons.
There are a total of 100 regional coins, which take the form of shells, to be found in the Seaside Kingdom: 6 coins in the starting area, 18 near Rolling Canyon, 15 near Beach House, 16 near Glass Palace, 15 near Hot Spring Island, 6 near Ocean Trench East, 3 near Ocean Trench West, 18 near Lighthouse, and 3 Above Rolling Canyon.
