Main Street Entrance
Excluding the secluded structure where the Odyssey lands upon arrival, this serves as the start of the kingdom. Normally, it is accessed by capturing the spark pylon attached to the aforementioned structure. In this location, Mario may find a Checkpoint Flag, Binoculars (through which the Sphynx can be seen after completion of the story), and a few New Donkers who welcome him to the city. Mario may continue forward into the streets or visit the park nearby (which is referred to as 'Squawks Park' on road signs), where the Jump-Rope Challenge is held and Talkatoo is found. This park also contains the Jammin' Toad, a Bonneter, and the Letters after the story is completed.

Due to the much different setup of the Metro Kingdom during its attack, Main Street is reached via a spark pylon in a slightly different location, taking Mario southeast of the park, where the Checkpoint Flag in place of the regular one is found, referring to this location as the City Outskirts. This flag disappears permanently once Mechawiggler has been defeated.

The music that regularly plays throughout the city plays as soon as Mario touches the ground here. As such, it is possible, at least briefly, to advance through the city without the music playing so long as Mario stays off the ground.

Rooftop Garden
It is a small, flat garden atop one of the many buildings in this kingdom. Although most of the garden is found atop two connected buildings, a similar area close to these buildings also features a garden. While roaming the garden, Mario may find a Checkpoint Flag, a pole, and a rabbit he may catch for a Power Moon, though the rabbit often runs around the garden, hopping to the adjacent building. In the corner of the garden, two New Donkers sit on a bench in the shade of a tree. While exploring the garden, Mario may locate a set of four regional coins on the highest point as well as a football he may simply punt off the rooftop into the streets.

Heliport
It is located right of the New Donk City Hall Plaza where the player must climb up a set of stairs and either Wall Jump up a set of Girders, or capture a spark pylon in order to reach the Heliport. On top of the Heliport is a helipad with a Checkpoint Flag in the middle of the pad. Also on the Heliport is several pylons and a water tower, and left of the checkpoint flag is a Pole, a swinging girder with a Power Moon and the New Donk City Hall Rooftop. The Heliport also appears in the New Donk City Hall stage in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate.

Isolated Rooftop
It is located in the bottom-right corner of the kingdom and is isolated from the rest of New Donk City. It can only be accesed via a painting from the Sand Kingdom, available after completing the story mission Showdown on the Inverted Pyramid. On the rooftop is a Power Moon, a Checkpoint Flag, and a block of girders with multiple Hidden Coins on top.

Location list
Cap Kingdom
 * Central Plaza: Borderline, kind of noteworthy, but generically named and not that distinct from the rest of the kingdom since there are hat houses in other parts and it's generically named.
 * Glasses Bridge: Keep, minor landmark mentioned in the brochure.
 * Sometimes Bridge: Borderline, context of the name is that the brochure calls it 'The "Sometimes" Bridge', meaning it's not really a name and should probably be merged later, but whatever, it's not high on my priority list.
