The Underground Temple is a location deep within the Sand Kingdom in Super Mario Odyssey. The entrance is blocked off by the Inverted Pyramid until the completion of the story mission Showdown on the Inverted Pyramid. The Inverted Pyramid starts to float in the air afterward, revealing a hole in the ground that leads into the area. The next objective, The Hole in the Desert, focuses on this area.
Mario must enter the large hole at the far north reaches of the desert. This takes him and Cappy down into the temple. Right behind where Mario lands is a Warp Pipe taking him back aboveground. Shortly after Mario enters here, he encounters a Hat Launcher he can toss Cappy at to activate a Pulse Beam that destroys the blocks in his way. Doing this again with the upcoming set of blocks allows Mario to collect a few regional coins.
Mario can capture nearby Goombas to navigate across the slippery ice, as their movement is unaffected by the surface. In the middle of the next area are coins and Hat Launchers suspended in the air. Just after this is a small stone structure with a broken pillar, and shortly after that is a very tall Goomba Tower Mario can capture to reach a few ? Blocks, as well as a few nearby regional coins and Power Moon #48, Goomba Tower Assembly. Mario can also retreat back to the structure with the broken pillar to find a few additional Goombas on top. Moving onward, Mario must cross over a few moving ice platforms and either use the Hat Trampoline or uncapture the Goomba Tower to move on.
The next section requires Mario to capture a Bullet Bill and speed through the area, avoiding moving stone columns and stopping on the platform midway if needed. Once at the end of this section, Mario can move deeper into the temple, reaching the Deepest Underground. If Mario falls here, an unmarked checkpoint keeps him in this section.
At the start of the Bullet Bill section, Mario can capture the Bullet Bill and, rather than move forward, move behind the thick wall to the right. Here, he finds a few steps and Hat Trampolines taking him up to the top of the wall. Moving forward along the top of the wall takes Mario to a treasure chest containing Power Moon #47, Underground Treasure Chest.
