The '''Moon Kingdom''' is a region in ''[[Super Mario Odyssey]]''. It is the greater location of '''Honeylune Ridge''', and the fourteenth and final story 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 [[Mushroom Kingdom (Super Mario Odyssey)|Mushroom Kingdom]].

<big>Wedding Hall</big>

''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.''

[[File:SMO Moon Brochure B.png|thumb|200px|''They roll perfectly along the lunar surface.'']]
<big>Lunar Life Forms</big>

''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?''
{{br}}

[[File:SMO Moon Brochure D.png|thumb|left|150px|''Unusual energies emanate from them.'']]
<big>Cubes of Mystery</big>

''Possessing unique metallic properties, it's hard to imagine how these cubic [[Moon Rock]]s 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!''

[[File:SMO Moon Brochure E.png|thumb|150px|''Apparently the interior has different gravity.'']]
<big>Lunar Interior: Secrets</big>

''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!''

[[File:SMO Moon Brochure F.png|thumb|left|150px|''Sunsets are SO last year.'']]
<big>A View to Remember</big>

''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.''

[[File:SMO Moon Brochure C.png|thumb|left|50px]]
<big>Moon Frog</big>

''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!''

==Checkpoint Flag locations==
===Odyssey===
[[File:SMO Moon Moon 1.png|thumb]]
{{main|Odyssey}}
The Odyssey lands in the southeastern corner of the kingdom. [[Hint Toad]], [[Uncle amiibo]], and a [[Starshroom]] [[Crazy Cap]] are to the right of the landing site. Next to the Odyssey is a small crater with three [[Hidden Block]]s and a Power Moon above it. A larger nearby crater has a Power Moon moving underground. It can be unearthed by [[Ground Pound]]ing it.

===Ringing-Bells Plateau===
[[File:SMO Ringing-Bells Plateau.jpg|thumb]]
Ringing-Bells Plateau is a flat, spacious piece of land in the center of the kingdom with two [[Rocket Flower]]s growing in craters as well as a [[Moonsnake]]. It is northwest of the Odyssey and south of the Quiet Wall. To the left of the plateau is a secluded platform with a treasure chest containing a Power Moon. Mario can reach the platform and the chest with a [[Long Jump]] or through use of a Rocket Flower. To the right is an elevated area with a rainbow treble clef. Touching it makes two sets of [[note]]s appear, which can be grabbed with Long Jumps. Collecting all of them in the allotted time reveals a Power Moon.

===Quiet Wall===
[[File:SMO Moon Brochure E.png|thumb|150px]]
This [[Checkpoint Flag]] is in front of the entrance to the [[Underground Moon Caverns]]. Around the wall, to the right, is the [[Sphynx]]. Before Bowser has been defeated, his only question is, "Should you really be answering questions right now?" After Bowser's defeat, the Sphynx gives Mario a small set of questions as usual. Answering one question correctly opens up a doorway leading to a small hidden area containing a Power Moon in a treasure chest. To the right are [[Binoculars]] and an [[Astro-Lanceur]] orbiting a crater with six regional coins above a [[Hat Trampoline]].

===Ever-After Hill===
[[File:SMO Ever-After Hill.jpg|thumb]]
[[File:SMO Moon Brochure A.png|thumb|150px]]
Mario arrives here after exiting the Underground Moon Caverns. Up ahead is a long stretch of carpeted road leading toward the Wedding Hall. The first time Mario crosses the path, bells can be heard ringing from the church, prompting [[Cappy]] to push ahead. Once Bowser has been defeated, a Hat Trampoline appears below Ever-After Hill, providing a shortcut.

==Paintings==
There are two paintings in this kingdom that are both inside the [[Wedding Hall]]. One can be unlocked after defeating Bowser, allowing to fight him again, and the other one can be unlocked after collecting all 880 Power Moons in the game (not counting the ones obtained by shopping) that leads to a harder version of the Bowser fight.
