Talk:Sand Kingdom

Names in other Languadges
I've added the Russian name of Tostarena, citation included.

The Japanese name of Tostarena is mention right here: https://twitter.com/mario_odysseyJP/status/874853322393563136

Somebody who understands Japanese should add it to the list.


 * I added it (it's pronounced "a-chee-nya"), though I'm not sure what the exact English transliteration could be or what the name could be alluding to. 22:06, 9 July 2017 (EDT)

Egypt?
Even though it's a desert, the pyramid and the temples look more like Mayan or Aztec temples. It makes sense considering the Mexican inspiration. 15:56, 10 September 2017 (EDT)

Kingdom moons
So since the Nintendo Direct video revealed that the Power Moons are organised by kingdom and not area, should the Power Moon list be moved to Sand Kingdom?

In fact, should all the information on the area page be moved to its respective kingdom page, and the former turned into a redirect? From what I've seen so far, I think Nintendo is basically treating each kingdom as the "greater location" of its respective area, but you're actually just exploring the one area. There doesn't seem to be anything else in the Sand Kingdom other than Tostarena (as proven by the map in the video I linked), nor is there anything else in the Metro Kingdom other than New Donk City (and so on), and because of that, there wouldn't be much general information that can be added to one page that would distinguish it from the other if we were to leave them separate. 01:25, 14 September 2017 (EDT)

I agree with you on that. It's kinda annoying to see all those red links for each of the kingdoms, and I think it'd be easier to organize it anyways. We're probably not going to be running into these Kingdoms in any other games, especially not anytime soon.Argonstorm32 (talk) 16:12, 14 September 2017 (EDT)

Power Moon Requirements
There's one thing that's been bothering me about the UI.

As you can see from yesterday's Nintendo Direct footage, the globe says "The Odyssey needs 16 more Power Moons". As you can see in the upper left corner, the Power Moons placeholder section has 16 slots, but 11 of those slots are filled. I personally think this means that you need 16 Power Moons to power up the Odyssey, but I know that the article currently says 27. How should we address this?
