'''Power Moons''' are collectible items in ''[[Super Mario Odyssey]]''. Equivalent to the [[Power Star]]s in ''[[Super Mario 64]]'' (and [[Super Mario 64 DS|its remake]]), ''[[Super Mario Galaxy]]'', and ''[[Super Mario Galaxy 2]]'', and [[Shine Sprite]]s in ''[[Super Mario Sunshine]]'', they can be found in the various kingdoms of the game and are used to power the [[Odyssey]], allowing [[Mario]] to reach additional kingdoms.

[[Moon Rock]]s are stated to be the raw form of the material that makes up Power Moons.<ref>''[[The Art of Super Mario Odyssey]]'', page 301.</ref>

A small number of Power Moons in each kingdom are found floating above a metal pedestal. These are required to advance the kingdom's main story, and will play a longer collection animation. Decorated clusters of Power Moons called [[Multi Moon]]s also exist in the game and are attained by defeating major bosses or clearing main story missions.

Decorated clusters of Power Moons called [[Multi Moon]]s also exist in the game and are attained by defeating major bosses or clearing main story missions.


The majority of the game's unlockables are locked behind the collection of Power Moons, some requiring a number of unique Power Moons and others that can be obtained through buying Power Moon copies at Crazy Cap in the post-game. At least 124 Power Moons are required to complete the main story (up to 462 can be collected prior to the final battle with [[Bowser]]). Collecting 250 Power Moons unlocks the [[Dark Side]], and collecting 500 Power Moons unlocks the [[Darker Side]]. Collecting all 880 Power Moons turns the Odyssey's sail into a golden color and unlocks a painting in the [[Moon Kingdom]]'s Wedding Hall, allowing the player to go through a harder version of the final boss fight sequence. Collecting 999 Power Moons (collecting every field moon is not required) will cause a large top hat to be placed on top of [[Peach's Castle]]. If [[Cappy]] is thrown on top of it, a special celebration will play out.

When Mario collects his first Power Moon in the [[Mushroom Kingdom (Super Mario Odyssey)|Mushroom Kingdom]], Cappy says that he did not know that Power Moons come in different shapes, suggesting that Power Moons and Power Stars are different forms of the same object. Additionally, the jingle that plays when a Power Moon is collected is a remixed version of the jingle that plays when Mario collects a Power Star in ''Super Mario 64'', although the original jingle plays instead for the Mushroom Kingdom Power Moons.

When Mario collects a Power Moon, he performs one of three variations of the same pose that change his right hand's gesture, all three of which are callbacks to three previous ''Super Mario'' titles:

Power Moons feature a different color depending on the kingdom in which they are found. Their color also matches the color of the pole of the kingdom's [[Checkpoint Flag]]. In the Mushroom Kingdom, they take the form of Power Stars, except in 2D sections, where they simply appear as pixelated, gold-colored Power Moons instead.
