Odyssey
The Odyssey lands in a densely forested area at the southern end of the map that is devoid of the metallic structures and machinery found throughout the rest of the kingdom. Hint Toad and an outdoor [[Crazy Cap can be found near the Odyssey's landing site.

Iron Road: Entrance
It serves as a checkpoint for the start of the Iron Road, taking Mario to a maze leading to the Iron Road: Halfway Point checkpoint. Other than a Checkpoint Flag, a few Power Moons and regional coins can be found in and around this area. For instance, there is a scarecrow between the iron bars near the entrance Mario must toss Cappy onto to enter a cave, where he must defeat a Fire Bro. for a Power Moon. There is a small pool of water near the entrance in which Mario may find a Warp Pipe on the bottom taking him to a bonus area.

In the following missions, the structure of the entrance point changes slightly. In the first mission, it is covered with small puddles of poison. In the second mission, there are Sherms around the entrance. After peace is restored to the kingdom, the entrance is covered in flowers and content Steam Gardeners.

Iron Road: Halfway Point
It serves as a checkpoint, holding a Checkpoint Flag roughly halfway across the Iron Road leading to the Sky Garden Tower. This point is reached following Iron Road: Entrance checkpoint, where Mario must clear a short vertical section and navigate to the other side of the red maze. After making it to this point, Mario must defeat a Big Poison Piranha Plant for a Power Moon needed to complete this mission and move on to the next. Within the maze, Mario may find a few regional coins as well as a nut containing a Power Moon.

Sky Garden Tower
This Checkpoint Flag sits atop the Sky Garden Tower and can be accessed by traveling through its interior.

Iron Mountain Path, Station 8
It serves as a checkpoint for the end of the Iron Road, being situated in front of a large field leading to the Secret Flower Field Entrance checkpoint. Other than a Checkpoint Flag, a few Power Moons and regional coins can be found in and around this area. For instance, there is a scarecrow nearby. Mario must toss Cappy onto him to scale some platforms, leading to an area with Princess Peach and Glydon. During the mission Path to the Secret Flower Field, there are two Sherms nearby. Mario must possess one of them in order to shoot at four panels, each emblazoned with a Bowser symbol, all rotating around in a hub-and-spoke system. After shooting them, Mario will be able to obtain a Power Moon and open the gate blocking off access to the Secret Flower Field.

Location list

 * Glasses Bridge: Keep, minor landmark mentioned in the brochure.
