The '''Darker Side''' of the [[Moon]] is a secret kingdom in ''[[Super Mario Odyssey]]'', and is the greater location of '''Culmina Crater'''. This is also served as the seventeenth and final kingdom overall in the game. It is accessible once the main game is completed and 500 [[Power Moon]]s have been obtained. In a similar vein to [[Grandmaster Galaxy]] from ''[[Super Mario Galaxy 2]]'', [[Special 8-Crown]] from ''[[Super Mario 3D Land]]'', or [[Champion's Road]] from ''[[Super Mario 3D World]]'', being the final level, this kingdom is the biggest challenge found in the game, with the only Power Moon being found at the end of a gauntlet of challenges based off ones previously found within the game. Completing this challenge rewards [[Mario]] with the [[Crazy Cap#Invisibility Hat|Invisibility Hat]] and connects the [[Odyssey]]'s route from Darker Side to the [[Mushroom Kingdom (Super Mario Odyssey)|Mushroom Kingdom]], forming a complete loop on the map.

==Description==

==Brochure details==

''This giant crater was formed by a huge meteor collision long ago.''

''From here you can observe galaxies shining in ways you never could see from home. Culmina Crater features vistas entirely unique from those you can find on the [[Dark Side]] of the Moon and [[Moon Kingdom|Honeylune Ridge]]. If you're feeling down or disheartened, just take a look up at the Milky Way from here.''

''This colossal building stands in Culmina Crater. If you look closely, it seems to resemble the city hall in [[Metro Kingdom|New Donk City]]. Some think it's based on [[New Donk City Hall]]. According to researchers, it might be one of the remnants of the civilization that once flourished on the moon. But with little evidence, this theory lacks credibility.''

[[File:SMO Darker Brochure E.png|thumb|150px|''It just sits there. Taunting you.'']]

''This is the only [[Warp Pipe|pipe]] that connects to the lunar interior. If you find it, we don't recommend jumping right in. What awaits is a trial so harsh, it lives up to the name Culmina Crater.''

''A lava zone spreads throughout this giant cavern. What waits ahead? How far does it go? These answers await those brave enough to enter this unknown, unexplored world.''

''When you look up inside the caverns, you may see deposits that look like the cubic [[Moon Rock]]s. Were the rocks that fell planetside originally formed here?''
