The '''Wooded Kingdom''' is a region featured in ''[[Super Mario Odyssey]]'', and can either be the fourth or the fifth location visited, depending on if the player selects to go here or to the [[Lake Kingdom]] after leaving the [[Sand Kingdom]]. It is the greater location of '''Steam Gardens''', a large forest area containing several iron structures. This area is also surrounded by large mountains, as well as a {{wp|geodesic dome}}. The Steam Gardens is home to the [[Steam Gardener]]s, who water and grow flowers throughout the area, especially in their [[Sky Garden Tower]] and [[Secret Flower Field]]. This area is also home to their prized [[Soirée Bouquet]].

When Mario first visits this kingdom, the [[Broodals]] can be found invading the Sky Garden. After traversing through the Iron Road, Mario reaches the top of the Sky Garden Tower, where he encounters [[Spewart]], one of the Broodals. Upon defeating him, Mario will be rewarded with a [[Multi Moon]], which (when collected) causes [[Torkdrift]] to appear and wreak havoc in the Secret Flower Field. Mario must then traverse through the area (which is now overrun by [[Sherm]]s) and reach the entrance to the Secret Flower Field at the far northern reaches of the kingdom. Upon entering the Secret Flower Field, Mario will encounter Torkdrift, who is attempting to steal the flowers. If Mario can successfully defeat Torkdrift, he will be rewarded with another Multi Moon. Collecting this one will restore the Steam Gardens to its former glory, allowing the Steam Gardeners to continue growing flowers and allowing access to more [[Power Moon]]s. Once Mario collects enough Power Moons, he can access the next kingdom - either the Lake Kingdom (if the player has not yet visited it) or the [[Cloud Kingdom]] (if both the Lake and Wooded Kingdoms have been visited).

This location is potentially based on the {{wp|Redwood National and State Parks}} in {{wp|California}}. The Steam Gardens' original name, Kogwald, is German for "Cog Woods", and the background features mountains that resemble the Alps. The location also vaguely resembles {{wp|Canada}} due to its dense forests and snowy mountains.

==Brochure details==

[[File:SMO Wooded Brochure A.png|thumb|left|150px|''You can't miss the bright red machinery.'']]

''No one knows who built the giant machines dotting this land, but today the Steam Gardeners use them to maintain the greatest flower gardens in the world. The giant dome is climate-controlled and apparently self-sufficient, operating with no maintenance since ancient times.''

[[File:SMO Wooded Brochure B.png|thumb|200px|''Locals are a bit off-putting but quite friendly.'']]

''Visitors are welcomed not only by the humid air, but worker robots tending the flowers. They're known as Steam Gardeners, longtime residents of the kingdom. You'll be impressed at how long they can work without rest, maintaining themselves perfectly. But beyond being hard workers, the robots love flowers—some grow them right out of their heads! You'll feel the Steam Gardeners' warm hearts, from their flowers and also their internal steam pumps.''

''While you'll see amazing flowers on any visit, you might be lucky enough to see the famous Steam Gardens Soirée Bouquet. It features giant white flowers that charm all who lay eyes on it. As you might guess from the name, it's by far the most popular bouquet for wedding ceremonies, sought after by wedding planners the world over.''

''It doesn't appear on any tours, but there is an area untouched by the machines of the Steam Gardens. Here the trees grow quickly, barely allowing any light through. The Steam Gardeners do not speak of it, but rumor has it they discourage visiting this place because of the danger posed by the [[T-Rex|giant creature]]s that call it home.''

''Be sure to try the system of paths called the Flower Road. You'll marvel at plants growing into temporary but walkable bridges. Watch your step, though—nature has no handrails.''

''Local birds here seem remarkably fond of their mechanical neighbors.''

# ''Admire the Steam Gardeners and their impressive devotion to their work.''

==Checkpoint Flag locations==

===Odyssey===

{{main|Odyssey}}

The Odyssey lands in a densely forested area at the southern end of the map that is devoid of the metallic structures and machinery found throughout the rest of the kingdom. [[Hint Toad]] and an outdoor [[Crazy Cap]] can be found near the Odyssey's landing site.

===Sky Garden Tower===

{{main|Sky Garden Tower}}

This Checkpoint Flag sits atop the Sky Garden Tower and can be accessed by traveling through its interior. [[Spewart]] is fought here for a [[Multi Moon]]. Later on, after activating the Wooded Kingdom's [[Moon Rock]], a [[Yoofoe]] can be found here. Defeating it yields a Power Moon.

===Forest Charging Station===

In this area, several [[Steam Gardener]]s wait in line to get recharged. If [[Mario]] is to [[Ground Pound]] the charging area furthest to the right, he obtains a [[Power Moon]]. Additionally, [[List of Power Moons in the Wooded Kingdom#Wooded Kingdom Timer Challenge 2|Wooded Kingdom Timer Challenge 2]] can also be obtained nearby. A [[Bonneter]], a [[Koopa Freerunning|freerunning]] [[Koopa Troopa]], four blocks containing [[coin]]s and a [[Mini Rocket]] can also be found.

===Summit Path===

This Checkpoint Flag is located east of the Forest Charging Station, past several [[Sherm]]s. A pair of [[binoculars]] are found here, along with some [[Rocket Flower]]s, which can be used to scale the steep slope nearby.

===Iron Mountain Path, Station 8===

===Secret Flower Field Entrance===

There is a Checkpoint Flag found right before the hole that leads into the [[Secret Flower Field]]. During the mission [[Path to the Secret Flower Field]], there are two [[Sherm]]s nearby. Mario must possess one of them in order to shoot at four panels, each emblazoned with a Bowser symbol, all rotating around in a hub-and-spoke system. After shooting them, Mario will be able to obtain a Power Moon and open the gate blocking off access to the Secret Flower Field.

===Observation Deck===

This area is reached by stepping on a [[P Switch]] near Iron Mountain Path, Station 8 and climbing up the moving platforms. A [[Checkpoint Flag]] and four [[regional coins]] can be found here, along with a seed pot which leads to a secret area in the clouds if a [[Seed (Super Mario Odyssey)|seed]] is planted there. [[Princess Peach]], [[Tiara]], and [[Glydon]] also appear here, but only after the game is beaten.

*During the reveal trailer, the electronic billboard for Steam Gardens found in [[New Donk City]] showed that the location was originally named "'''Kogwald'''". The name is a portmanteau of ''cog'' and ''-wald'', the German word for forest.

*Thematically, the Wooded Kingdom is very similar to the setting of the 1972 science fiction film ''[[wikipedia:Silent Running|Silent Running]]'', which takes place in a giant greenhouse maintained by robots that also happen to resemble the Steam Gardeners.

*This kingdom's Moon Rock releases the most moons out of all the kingdoms that have Moon Rocks, releasing 22 Power Moons when activated.
