Iron Road: Entrance

Iron Road: Entrance is a location in the Wooded Kingdom in Super Mario Odyssey. 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.
