The Mushroom Kingdom is the fifteenth kingdom visited in Super Mario Odyssey. It is the greater location of Peach's Castle, which is based on its design from Super Mario 64, sharing a similar layout (including the castle grounds, first floor interior, and courtyard), with the music of the interior being rearranged as well. The kingdom itself contains multiple references to Super Mario 64, with many of them taking the form of Power Moon requirements. The Mushroom Kingdom can be first seen by traveling through a painting in the Luncheon Kingdom, which leads to Yoshi's House on a floating platform away from the main area. The rest of the area cannot be explored until after rescuing Princess Peach from Bowser in the Moon Kingdom, after which the Odyssey can fly to the kingdom. Power Moons have a much different appearance in this kingdom, resembling Power Stars. However, when they are loaded into the Odyssey, they appear as Power Moons.
Because Princess Peach is so often absent from her kingdom, her citizens took it upon themselves to create a stained-glass portrait of her on the castle balcony. While a pale reflection of the genuine article, the portrait brings comfort to the citizenry when their princess can't be with them.
In older times, the towers dotting the landscape here were watchtowers. Now they hold and preserve a series of mysterious paintings. These incredibly detailed works are so real that admirers speak of being pulled into another world by the paintings.
However, it's extremely rare for tourists to be permitted to see them, due to some undescribed danger, and casual visits are discouraged.
The Toads of the Mushroom Kingdom value their relaxation and have created several lovely spots on the castle grounds for that purpose. Neither too small nor too large, and with just the right amount of ornamentation, these plazas and courtyards exemplify the best traits of this kingdom.
Even the serene Mushroom Kingdom has its more dangerous locales. This forest was originally planted for mushroom cultivation, but while the mushrooms have flourished, a large number of wild Goombas have also moved in. While it's come to be known as Goomba Woods, it's still a pleasant place for a stroll, so if you're not afraid of these fearsome beasts, why not treat yourself to a walk?
The only lake on the castle grounds features a small but lovely waterfall and is a popular spot to visit. The lake formed naturally, but some claim that its shape is familiar. Hmm...

The Odyssey lands near a fountain southeast of Peach's Castle. Many characters appear near the fountain, including Hint Toad, Uncle amiibo, Jammin' Toad, and people from various other kingdoms. A StarshroomCrazy Cap is also nearby.
Yoshi's House is far floating far south of the main area. It is reached through a painting in the Luncheon Kingdom. Mario can find a Power Moon by Wall Jumping up the chimney. This is the only part of the kingdom that is accessible before saving Peach.
An exact recreation of the courtyard from Super Mario 64, where Mario must open all eight treasure chests scattered throughout to obtain a Power Moon, as well as throw and spin Cappy onto a glowing spot on top of the fountain to obtain another Power Moon. Mario can only access this area while wearing his Mario 64 or Metal Mario set.
A platforming area among a sea of clouds composed of colorful block-like structures and seesaw-like lifts, where Mario must capture Yoshi and help him eat all of the berries scattered throughout the area to obtain a Power Moon while avoiding the Maw-Rays that emerge from the clouds. This area must first be accessed by eating the berry blocking the Warp Pipe as Yoshi, who is found on top of Peach's Castle.
Moving 2D Area
Well
West of Peach's Castle
An 8-bit area composed of moving walls and spinning platforms. Mario must remain within these walls at all times while avoiding the Bullet Bills and Fuzzies throughout the area. If he falls out of these walls, he will fall into the void below and will have to restart this area.
Enemies marked with an asterisk (*) are only found in bonus areas, while the non-boss enemies marked with a caret (^) are found during the boss rematches.
There are six boss rematch paintings. Knucklotec's painting is located inside a tower to the southwest of the castle, Torkdrift's painting is located inside a tower in the forest to the north of the castle that can be accessed by climbing a vine, Mechawiggler's painting is located inside a tower by the garden to the east of the castle, Mollusque-Lanceur's painting is located inside a pipe at the bottom of the lake where Dorrie is, Cookatiel's painting is located inside a tower by the lake where Dorrie is, and Ruined Dragon's painting is located inside a pipe under the castle's moat which is blocked with a Berry that only Yoshi can eat.
There are a total of 116 Power Moons (98 regular Power Moons and 6 Multi Moons) to be found in the Mushroom Kingdom, more than any other kingdom in the game; 61 of these moons are obtained by completing achievements for Toadette.
There are a total of 100 regional coins to be found in Mushroom Kingdom, which take the form of Super Mario 64's star-stamped coins. They also resemble the Purple Coins found in the Super Mario Galaxy games.
When the eight chests in the hidden replica of Super Mario 64's castle courtyard are opened in the correct order, the eighth chest corresponds to the position of the Big Boo holding the cage that leads to Big Boo's Haunt.
The two 2D Power Moons in this kingdom resemble regular Power Moons in a gold color and make the normal 8-bit version sound of obtaining a Power Moon, rather than the Super Mario 64 sound.
The Multi Moons obtained from the boss rematches also appear as a trio of Power Moons, rather than a trio of Power Stars.
