Seaside Kingdom

"It's the views that make Seaside Kingdom so special."

- Bubblainian

The Seaside Kingdom is a beach kingdom that appears in Super Mario Odyssey, being either the ninth or tenth kingdom visited, depending on whether the player chooses to go here or to the Snow Kingdom after leaving the Metro Kingdom. It is the greater location of Bubblaine, a cliffside beach resort area. Due to the local inhabitants being beret-clad snails, the boss having a French name, and two of the missions having a French title, the location may have been partially or fully inspired by, most likely the , also known as the French Riviera. When Mario first arrives, Mollusque-Lanceur is sitting on top of the Glass Tower drinking all of the Sparkle Water, and the fountains are corked. To restore peace to the kingdom, Mario must uncork the fountains and defeat Mollusque-Lanceur.

It is daytime during Mollusque-Lanceur's attack on the kingdom. Once he is defeated, the time of day changes to dusk for the rest of the game.

Concept and creation
Bubblaine was conceived as an elegant resort following the basic theme of golden champagne. According to the concept art, a blue-colored Dorrie not wearing any hat nor goggles was supposed to be found swimming there.

Raise a Glass
The spectacle known as Glass Tower isn't just majestic, it also fulfills the critical role of manufacturing the famous local product Sparkle Water.

''It stands atop the Glass Palace, which has a uniquely beautiful architectural style. It's a treasure to be explored!''

A Miraculous Mixture
''The four fountains in Bubblaine spray seawater toward the Glass Tower. The ocean here is carbonated but otherwise unremarkable. However, when blended in the Glass Tower, it takes on a deep, elegant flavor and becomes Sparkle Water!''

This treasured beverage is said to bring good fortune, happiness, and even romance to those who drink it, which has led to it being featured in many wedding ceremonies.



A Love Nest for Eels
''In addition to the fun resort spots found in Bubblaine, there are some notable dangerous locations as well. One of these is the underwater cave connected to the lighthouse where gigantic creatures called Maw-Rays make their nests and shoot out their long bodies in response to stimuli. A little caution can go a long way when exploring this place.''



Nature's Hot Tub
''A ways away from the beach sits an outdoor bath fed by a natural hot spring. Featuring full ocean views, it has become quite popular with tourists. This spring was formed by volcanic activity on the ocean floor, and it's said to have numerous medicinal effects. Take one dip, and we're sure you'll fall for its charms. It's also a lovely natural reprieve from the modern resort developments.''



Relaxing Competition
''When in Bubblaine, be sure to enjoy a game of beach volleyball on the local court. The on-site coach gives strong guidance, even for beginners. As they say around here, "Let's play!"''



Nature's Fire Hoses
''These unusual creatures collect seawater constantly. They use this water both to defend themselves and to propel themselves, sometimes straight up!''



Three Keys to the Kingdom

 * 1) Gasp at the sight of all four fountains spraying into the Glass Tower.
 * 2) Refresh yourself with the fizzy delights of Bubblainian seawater.
 * 3) Play in the action-packed Beach Volleyball tournaments.

Odyssey


The Odyssey lands in the south central area of the kingdom. Hint Toad and Uncle amiibo are directly west of the landing site. After completion of the main story, a Nintendog can be found near the Odyssey and will help Mario find a hidden Power Moon.

Beach House


The Beach House is on the southwest corner of the kingdom. The Checkpoint Flag is in front of it, near the Beach Volleyball court.

Lighthouse


This Checkpoint Flag is on the roof of the lighthouse, where one of the four switches needed to restore the Sparkle Water is located. It can be reached by either going through the Underwater Tunnel to the Lighthouse or using a Gushen to hover there from where The Stone Pillar Seal Power Moon is.

Hot Spring Island


Hot Spring Island is in the northeast corner of the kingdom. The Checkpoint Flag is on the northern edge of the spring. Prior to Mollusque-Lanceur's defeat the spring's surface is covered in lava, which can be removed by spraying it with a Gushen's water.

Rolling Canyon


There is a Checkpoint Flag near the entrance to Rolling Canyon. Goombas wearing pirate hats can be found here.

Above Rolling Canyon
At the end of Rolling Canyon past a wall of crates, Mario will find a Checkpoint Flag, a Power Moon, and a button used to uncork one of the four fountains.

Glass Palace


This Checkpoint Flag is near the base of the Glass Tower. Rocket Flowers and a treasure chest containing a Life-Up Heart are found nearby. After activating the Moon Rock, a rabbit can be found hopping around the Glass Tower.

Ocean Trench West
This underwater Checkpoint Flag is in the northwest corner of the kingdom near the entrance to the Underwater Tunnel to the Lighthouse.

Ocean Trench East
This underwater Checkpoint Flag is in the northeast corner of the kingdom near Hot Spring Island.

Diving Platform
The Diving Platform can be accessed via the Seaside Kingdom's secret painting. Where the painting is found depends on what order the kingdoms are visited.
 * In Bowser's Kingdom, the painting can be found behind the left building at the Main Courtyard Entrance.
 * In the Mushroom Kingdom, the painting can be found between some trees near the Odyssey.

On the Diving Platform, there is a treasure chest containing Power Moon #49, "Secret Path to Bubblaine!".

It is possible to access the Diving Platform without using a painting by using a Gushen to reach the "Stone Pillar Seal" Power Moon, which refills the Gushen's water. The player can also reach the Diving Platform by using a Gushen to jet from a high platform in the sea and near the Beach House. Once the player gets near the Diving Platform via Gushen, they must jump out of it to reach the platform.
