User:Nintendo101/garden: Difference between revisions

|Icy predators that hide underground and snake their way between raised earth. A silhouette of their face appears below the surface and can be tracked. One rises from the earth and snaps its jaw shut if Mario is standing above its silhouette. Only the bite damages Mario; a Bitefrost can otherwise be stood on like a platform. The ones in the Luncheon Kingdom appear pink from having embedded their bodies with salt instead of snow.

|Colorful chestnut creatures. They pop out of the ground when Mario draws near and lunge towards him. Burrbos damage Mario on contact, but are defeated when struck by Cappy. They usually occur in groups, and endlessly emerge from the earth if Mario is near.

|Undead [[Tostarenan]]s encountered at night and in dimly lit areas. Chinchos emerge from the ground and pursue Mario on sight. If left unattacked, they retreat back into the ground. Failing [[treasure chest]] puzzles causes Chincos to appear. Tossing Cappy at a Chincho briefly stuns it, but it can only be defeated when a stomp. The [[Jaxi]] can defeat hoards of them instantly.

|Small octopuses enveloped in water balls of their own making. Gushens fire projectile streams of water when Mario is near, depleting their reserves. A captured Gushen can use the stream as a projectile to hit distant enemies and objects by pressing {{button|switch|Y}}. This also propels it forward at a great speed. Pressing {{button|switch|B}} brings the Gushen into the air. Spraying water reduces the size of the ball, and ultimately leaves the Gushen sickly and weak. Touching a greater body of water restores the water ball.

|Rolling tomato enemies that home-in on Mario. Striking a Magmato causes it to fall apart into a puddle of molten pulp. A captured [[Lava Bubble]] can swim in these puddles, enabling it to cross large stretches of terrain it normally could not. The puddle otherwise damages Mario on contact.

|Fixed, geometric axes with arms of rolling rocks. Though moving together as if single bars, the rocks are disconnected from one another, hugging the surface of terrain. The arms of some Moonsnakes are small, while others are long and have a radius that nearly covers the entire area. Both the axis and rocks damage Mario. Despite their rocky appearance, Moonsnakes are {{wp|Basal (phylogenetics)|basal}} extraterrestrial lifeforms.

|[[Piranha Plant]]s that spit poison. Their heads flash purple before firing. The shot poison pools into puddles that makes the immediate area hazardous. Stomping on a Poison Piranha Plant defeats it. One traps Cappy in its mouth if he is thrown at it. Knocking a [[Rock (Super Mario series)|rock]] into a Poison Piranha Plant's mouth beforehand is the only way to capture it. While captured, it can spit poison in any 360° radius from a fixed position.

|{{wp|Green pheasant}} enemies with protractible beaks. Mario is damaged if struck by one's beak. Pokios can be lured to [[Coin Block]]s and jab at them, and can shatter rocks with one hit. Pokios wear spiked {{wp|Kasa (hat)|jingasa}} that damage Mario if he tries to jump on them. Hitting one with Cappy knocks the jingasa away, leaving it open to being stomped or captured. A Pkio will reappear on a flat stone in an area where they have all been defeated after a few seconds. A captured Pokio can use its beak to strike enemies, [[block]]s, [[firework bomb]]s, and flames. Jabbing into a [[soft wall]] and flicking the {{button|switch|LeftStick}} launches it upward, allowing Mario to access areas only connected by vertical plaster walls. Shaking the controller makes a captured Pokio [[spin]]. Performing this in the air delays its fall.

|[[Tank]] enemies that fire damaging bullets. Most wear top hats similar to those of {{wp|Uncle Sam}}. Knocking it away leaves Sherms open to being captured or ground-pounded. A captured Sherm aims its cannon by shifting {{button|switch|rightstick}} and fires with {{button|switch|Y}}. The bullets can defeat enemies, empty blocks, break cages, and destroy rock walls. Maneuvering the Sherm emulates {{wp|tank controls}}. Mario can only damage [[Mechawiggler]]s as a captured Sherm.

|align=center|[[Wooded Kingdom]], [[Metro Kingdom]], [[Moon Kingdom]], [[Mushroom Kingdom (Super Mario Odyssey)|Mushroom Kingdom]], [[Dark Side]]

|Purple Cheep Cheeps adapted to live in [[freezing water]]. Capturing one is the only way Mario can safely swim in it. They otherwise behave like normal Cheep Cheeps.

|Large {{wp|oni}}-like beings that carry mallets. Stairface Ogres actively pursue Mario but they cannot move perpendicularly, only side-to-side or up-and-down. If in front of a Stairface Ogre, it swings its mallet down to crush him. Contact instantly defeats Mario. If avoided, the mallet can be climbed like a staircase to reach the top of the Stairface Ogre's head, now exposed. Ground-pounding it defeats the enemy. Stairface Ogres are made of wood and can be ascended as a captured Pokio. Jabbing the glowing hole on its forehead also defeats it.

|Powerful [[dinosaur]]s that have lived into the modern era. Most T-Rexes are encountered sleeping. This is a harmless state, in which Mario can stand on one's body with no ill effect. However, some T-Rexes are awake. Drawing near a patrolling T-Rex causes it to stop and sniff the ground. If Mario does not move away or hide, it turns to face him, roars, and gives chase with snapping jaws. Running into a wall or large obstacle temporarily dazes it and leaves it open to being captured. A captured T-Rex is indestructible and launches other enemies on contact. Holding {{button|switch|Y}} makes the T-Rex dash, and {{button|switch|B}} makes it bite. Unlike all other captures, Cappy can only hold onto a T-Rex for thirty seconds due to its size. Releasing the capture and reclaiming it before the time runs out allows the player to circumvent this limitation.

|Iridescent beetles. They emerge from little holes in the ground and walk towards Mario with grasping hands. Trapeetles are largely impervious; the spike on one's abdomen damages Mario and prevents it from being stomped. One grabs onto Cappy if he is tossed at it and uses him to launch itself into Mario, exploding on contact. This can be manipulated to make Trapeetles destroy [[Block (Super Mario Odyssey)|block]]s.

|Concertinaing [[Wiggler]]s that wear tulip hats. They move in set paths, sometimes across distant platforms. The spikes on their body segments damage Mario on contact. Knocking the hat off of one leaves it open to being captured. Holding {{button|switch|y}} and moving {{button|switch|leftstick}} as a captured Tropical Wiggler stretches its body like an {{wp|accordian}}. If the first body segment is on solid ground, letting go of {{button|switch|y}} propels the rest of the body towards it. The reverse is true if over empty space. A Tropical Wiggler's body can destroy [[Brick Block]]s and reach areas otherwise too distant for Mario.

|Mosquito-like [[Stingby|Stingbies]]. An insect enemy that spawns from a larva. Urban Stingbies slowly patrol around a spot, quickly noticing Mario if he is in proximity. When attacking, Urban Stingbies take enough momentum to head violently into Mario, but they explode as they crash into something. The attack can affect other enemies. Urban Stingbies can be defeated one time by any sign of attack, including a [[jump]] or a Cap Throw.

|Larval Urban Stingbies., which morphs into its mature variant shortly after appearing onscreen. Urban Stingby Larvae are completely inoffensive and can be defeated with a [[kick]].

|Large missile. Banzai Bills slowly swerve off their initial trajectory to home-in on [[Mario]]. They are defeated when [[stomp]]ed. Capturing a Banzai Bill enables Mario to cross wide gaps and blast through obstacles with {{button|switch|Y}}. Shaking the controller causes it to accelerate. A captured Banzai Bill eventually flashes red and self-destructs, forcing Mario out of the capture.

|Metal enemies with snapping jaws. Chain Chomps are fastened to the ground and lunge towards Mario when near. Jumping on one briefly stuns it, but does not inflict damage. Chain Chomps can only be defeated by a captured T-Rex. A captured Chain Chomp is similar to a {{wp|pullback motor}}. Pulling the Chain Chomp to the farthest extent it can and letting go sends it flying in the opposite direction. This can be used to destroy [[stone wall]]s, strike bull's-eyes, and unseal hidden areas. This action also forces Mario out of the Chain Chomp.

|Purse-like creatures filled with coins. Coin Coffers are nonconfrontational and usually invisible. One becomes exposed when it is bumped into. Jumping on a Coin Coffer makes it spit out one coin, and jumping on it sequentially makes it spit out as many as eight before being defeated. Ground-pounding one makes it release eight all at once. A captured Coin Coffer can fire coins as projectiles, but this depletes Mario's own coin count. Shaking the controller makes it rapidly fire coins in 360°.

|A great ape that tosses projectile [[barrel]]s down [[girder]]s. He first appears in the final 2D section of the [[A Traditional Festival!|New Donk City Festival]], an area similar to [[25m]]. Donkey Kong is defeated when all four of the [[? Block]]s he is on are struck. Donkey Kong kidnapped [[Pauline|Mayor Pauline]] [[Donkey Kong (game)|many years ago]], something she reflects on during "[[List of Power Moons in the Metro Kingdom|A Request from the Mayor]]".

|Red-shelled Koopas turn around when they reach the edge of a platform.

|Giant cannons that shoot [[Banzai Bill]]s. Within the Wooded Kingdom, there is a Banzai Bill Cannon in a subarea that is triggered when [[Mario]] collects a nearby [[key]].

|Rolling projectiles tossed down [[girder]]s by [[Donkey Kong]]. Contact damages Mario.

|Cannons that shoot [[Bullet Bill]]s.

|align=center|[[File:SMO Screenshot Boulder (Obstacle).jpg|100x100px]]<br>[[Boulder]] / [[Shell (Super Mario Odyssey)|Shell]] / [[Pepper (object)|Pepper]]

|Rolling rocks that damage Mario on contact. They break when they collide with a wall. [[Bowser]] and [[Chargin' Chuck]]s can break them while [[capture]]d. Some boulders release a [[Heart (item)|heart]] when broken. Equivalent obstacles appear in some kingdoms that match the regional topography, such as [[Shell (Super Mario Odyssey)|shell]]s and [[Pepper (object)|pepper]]s.

|align=center|[[Cloud Kingdom]], [[Seaside Kingdom]], [[Luncheon Kingdom]], [[Bowser's Kingdom]], [[Moon Kingdom]], [[Darker Side]]

|[[Water]] so frigid that it gradually depletes Mario's [[Health Meter|life meter]] if he tries to swim through it. The boarder of the screen gradually becomes encroached with ice the longer Mario stays in the water, obscuring the player's view. A captured [[Cheep Cheep|Snow Cheep Cheep]] can swim in freezing water without being damaged.

|align=center|[[File:SMO Screenshot Ice.jpg|100x100px]]<br>Ice

|Ice reduces Mario's traction and causes him to slide. A captured [[Goomba]] remains sure-footed on ice.

|Molten rock. Direct contact burns Mario and makes him bounce into the air with his hands on his rear. A captured [[Lava Bubble]] can swim through lava.

|Lava Geysers rise and fall in set intervals that can be timed. A rise is always proceeded by rapid bubbling on the lava's surface. In some areas, they rise through [[Grated platform|Wire Net Platform]]s. A captured Lava Bubble can utilize Lava Geysers as platforms that brings it to a higher area, similar to [[Sand Geyser]]s.

|Touching an oil drum damages Mario. They only appear in 2D areas.

|Touching poison immediately causes Mario to lose a life. The [[Jaxi]] can harmlessly run across it. In a subarea, poison moves in [[poison wave|waves]].

|Mario rapidly sinks while on quicksand. [[Jump]]ing keeps him above the surface. In most areas, sinking all the way through quicksand causes Mario to lose a life, but there is a hidden area in [[Tostarena Ruins]] only accessible by sinking through the sand. [[Glydon]] is incapable of sinking through quicksand.

|Spike Traps generally appear attached to terrain and shifting objects. Their spikes damage Mario on contact. Some Spike Traps protract their spikes in set intervals that can be timed. A captured [[Jizo]] can travel across beds of spikes without being damaged.

|align=center|[[Lake Kingdom]], [[Metro Kingdom]], [[Bowser's Kingdom]]

|Embronzed cannons around [[Bowser's Castle]]. They perpetually launch [[firework bomb]]s that roll along the ground. These bombs can be knocked into breakable objects by a captured [[Pokio]]. Firework bombs otherwise damage Mario on contact.

|Billows of wind push Mario or carry him into the air, depending on the orientation of its source. Tossing Cappy into a billow carries him a great distance, sometimes into an otherwise unreachable switch. [[Stump|Post]]s seal wind underground in the Snow Kingdom. It is otherwise expelled by [[Ty-foo]]s and [[Wind Blow Tower|blocky tower]]s in set increments.

|align=center|[[Cascade Kingdom]], [[Snow Kingdom]], [[Darker Side]]

|Objects that power the ''[[Odyssey]]''. Power Moons are scattered throughout the [[Earth|world]], sometimes [[glowing spot|buried]], concealed in objects, or [[Lurker|lurking]] underground. Some are tied to story-specific [[mission|objective]]s that are completed upon being collected. Accumulating Power Moons expand the ''Odyssey''{{'}}s sail and enables it to reach new kingdoms. Glowing [[Moon Rock]]s break apart into these moons once struck. Power Moons are a source of energy throughout the world, and are of implied cultural significance across multiple cultures. It is implied that the [[Power Star]]s of prior games are the same object, just differently shaped.

|Multi Moons represent three Power Moons and are collected from story-related objects. Most of them are held by bosses. In addition to rescuing [[Princess Peach]], Mario needs to collect all Multi Moons in order for Moon Rocks to start glowing.

|Moon Shards represent one-fifth of a Power Moon. Collecting all five in an area causes them to merge into a collectible Power Moon.

|Coins can be used to buy items, Power Moons, and outfits at the [[Crazy Cap]]. They are accepted across all kingdoms. Mario loses ten coins when he loses a [[Extra life|life]], and experiences a [[Game Over]] if he has no coins on hand. In [[Balloon World]], collecting coins extends the [[Time Limit|timer]], and Mario is rewarded a large sum whenever he increases his rank. Coins sometimes occur in [[Coin pile|stack]]s or are [[Hidden Coin|invisible]].

|Purple coins that are only useable in the kingdom they occur in. They are used to purchase souvenirs and outfits in the local Crazy Cap. Unlike normal coins, there is a set amount of regional coins in a kingdom that can only be collected once. Regional coins have different designs depending on the kingdom they are used in.

|Touching a large note causes a string of small notes to appear in the immediate area for a limited period of time. Collecting all of them rewards Mario with a Power Moon.

|Collecting a heart restores one wedge in Mario's [[Health Meter]]. If the Health Meter is full, he receives five coins instead.

|Large hearts that increase Mario's Health Meter from three to six. In Assist Mode, a Life-Up Heart increases Mario's health to nine. If Mario is already under the effect of a Life-Up Heart and is at full health, touching one awards him ten coins.

|Air bubbles appear underwater, released by [[Bubbler (object)|bubbler]]s or [[Checkpoint Flag]]s. Some items are encapsulated by bubbles. In Assist Mode, Mario is protected inside a bubble and returned to safety when he falls near a hazard.

|Collecting a key opens a nearby [[locked panel|Keyhole Pedestal]], releasing a Power Moon.

|Acorn-like seeds with yellow {{wp|Calybium and cupule|caps}}. Tossing a seed into a flowerpot causes a sunflower-like plant to grow and release a Power Moon. The seeds are usually scattered across a visited kingdom, distant from their corresponding flowerpots.

|Large, brown-capped seeds dispensed by silver [[Steam Gardener]]s. A giant seed grows into a [[Beanstalk]] when tossed into an enclosed patch of dirt.

|Vegetables that can be plucked from the ground. When tossed into [[Stupendous Stew]], Mario is rewarded with coins. The Golden Turnips release Power Moons when thrown in.

|Most rocks break when kicked or thrown, releasing coins. Glowing rocks contain Power Moons and require multiple strikes to break. Kicking a rock into the mouth of a [[Fire Piranha Plant]] or [[Poison Piranha Plant]] render them [[Capture|capturable]].

|Tossing [[Cappy]] at a Rocket Flower fastens it to Mario's back, propelling him with a burst of speed. He is fast enough to ascend slopes. Collecting multiple Rocket Flowers makes him run even faster. They

|[[Pauline|Mayor Pauline]]'s original hat, parasol, and handbag. They are hidden in [[Metro Kingdom|New Donk City]]. Each one can be brought to Pauline as a potential birthday present, but the only one she accepts is the handbag.

|The egg that holds [[Yoshi]]. Striking it releases him. If Yoshi is in a dangerous situation or left uncaptured for a brief period of time, he reseals himself inside the egg. Yoshi's Egg can then be found in the original spot it was located.

|Yoshi's favorite food. He can eat them while captured, which fills up a corresponding fruit meter. Filling the meter completely rewards Mario with a Power Moon. Fruits can only be consumed once.

|align=center style="background:#FFFFFF"|[[File:Mario with Balloon SMO.jpg|100x100px]]<br>Balloons

|The targets of Balloon World. In the Hide It mode, Mario must place his own balloon somewhere within the visited kingdom. During Find It, he must locate the balloon hidden by another player within a limited period of time.

|In the Playing in VR mode, collecting all notes causes a musical instrument to appear in the visited area. It must be carried and returned to the local [[#Non-playable character|non-playable character]] to complete the objective. The recoverable instruments include a grand piano, trombones, microphones, saxophones, and a keyboard.

|Goomba buttons release Power Moons when triggered. One requires a certain number of [[Goomba]]s in a [[capture]]d [[Goomba Tower|tower]] to be pressed.

|Buttons that trigger nearby changes in the environment when ground-pounded. The starburst symbol on the button also appears on [[Astro-Lanceur]]s, [[Stairface Ogre]]s, and the ''[[Odyssey]]''.

|Indentations in soft walls. Some of them release a Power Moon or item when jabbed by a [[Capture#Pokio|captured Pokio]]'s beak. They apparently were used by archers at some point in the history of [[Bowser's Castle]].

|Levers that physically change the surrounding area, usually by granting Mario access to a new area by making a door or bridge appear. It is pulled when struck by Cappy.

|A Moon Rock appears in most of the kingdoms. Once [[Princess Peach]] has been rescued and all [[Multi Moon]]s have been collected, the Moon Rocks begin to glow and shift. Striking one sends it skyward, where it burst into a multitude of new [[Power Moon]]s to collect.

|Stepping on a P Switch changes an element in the immediate environment.

|Striking a scarecrow leaves Mario without Cappy for a brief period of time. In the overworld, striking a scarecrow triggers a brief Timer Challenge with temporary platforms. In some subareas, Mario must navigate an obstacle course-like area without Cappy's abilities.

|In most kingdoms, there are glowing protrusions on the ground that [[Nintendo Switch#Joy-Con|rumble]] under Mario's feet. Ground-pounding one flattens it with the surrounding terrain and forces an item or [[Mini Goomba]]s to the surface. Some glowing spots are more subtle, being flat with the surrounding ground or underneath another object. Glowing spots are what are most often hinted at on Hint Art, and the [[Nintendog|dog]] will Mario to ones nearby. Small birds sometimes congregate around glowing spots.

|Protrusions in the environment. Striking one with Cappy gets him hooked to the top and swing around it as if it were a {{wp|hatstand}} until the player lets go of {{button|switch|y}}. Doing this often rewards Mario with a coin. If the knob-like structure is glowing, it releases a Power Moon once spun on. Each kingdom has multiple knob-like structures that match the surrounding topography. Examples include: {{wp|Street light|lampposts}}, walkway lights, [[airship]]s, horns, fountains, [[Jaxi Statue]]s, parking meters, fire hydrants, pumpkins, iron fences, spires, and the [[Tail Tree]]. Some structures have secondary behaviors. For example, an iron fence spews fire when Cappy spins on its top. Most climbable trees and poles have dual purposes as knob-like structures. The latter can be found on the [[Starshroom]] and the ''Odyssey''.

|Ground-pounding a post embeds it into the earth and sometimes releases a coin. Striking one with Cappy pulls it from the ground, and sometimes causes more coins to appear. Dislodging posts sometimes causes more substantial changes in the area.

|Objects that rock slightly when struck by Cappy or jumped on, but are not sent flying and fall back into place. Hitting one sometimes releases a coin. Most kingdoms have an iteration of this object that matches the topography. Examples include: potted succulents, construction barriers, [[bin]]s, trashcans, tables, [[barrel]]s, and easels.

|The stone walls in Fossil Falls break apart when struck by a [[Chain Chomp]] or rammed by a [[T-Rex]]. Doing so grants access to other areas or exposes secrets. The [[stone spire]] is held upright by stone walls and collapses when struck by a captured Chain Chomp. Stone walls are embedded with fossils and some are shaped like dinosaur vertebrae.

|Only one of the stone Bowser statues in the Underground Moon Cavern is capturable. Shifting it exposes a hole containing a Power Moon.

|Desert plants that damage Mario on contact, leaving needles embedded in his nose. Most cactuses are squat and round. Striking one of them with Cappy knocks it away and releases a coin. Knocking one into another cactus can cause a [[:File:SMO Screencap Cactus.gif|chain reaction]], where the last cactus drops eight coins. Tall cactuses also appear that are only knocked away when struck by the Jaxi. One near the [[Desert Oasis (Super Mario Odyssey)|Desert Oasis]] is covered with small birds and can be captured. Moving it exposes a glowing spot.

|Most Jizo are found near the [[Bowser's Kingdom#Souvenir Shop|Souvenir Shop]]. Mario is invincible as a captured Jizo and resembles his [[Statue Mario|Statue form]] from previous games. It is heavy enough to trigger P Switches, but can only move in short hops.  

|Five letter statues appear in [[Metro Kingdom#City Outskirts/Main Street Entrance|Squawks Park]] after Princess Peach has been rescued. Capturing each one and arranging them to spell "M-A-R-I-O" rewards Mario with a Power Moon.

|Some manholes block access to underground areas in New Donk City. Capturing one enables Mario to move it out of the way. The big green manhole blocks access to the [[Underground Power Plant]].

|A piece of meat sits at the top of the [[Luncheon Kingdom#Meat Plateau|Meat Plateau]], encrusted with salt. Capturing it enables Mario to shake the salt off and attract Cookatiel. This is the only capture that can only be captured once. It is not present in subsequent revisits to Mount Volbono.

|Holding {{button|switch|b}} launches the Mini Rocket and brings Mario to a distant subarea.

|align=center style="background:#FFFFFF"|[[File:SMO Picture Match Part (Goomba) Capture.png|100x100px]][[File:SMO Picture Match Part (Mario) Capture.png|100x100px]]<br>[[Picture Match|Picture Match Part]] {{chart icon|SMO-capture}}

|The capturable puzzle pieces in [[Picture Match]]. The player can rotate and shift the piece before letting go to align with the silhouette. Two puzzles are in the game: one resembles a Goomba, the other Mario.

|Roadside bollards. Capturing one and flicking backward with {{button|switch|leftstick}} flings Mario in the opposite direction. If along the ground, he can maintain momentum and go into another move like the [[roll]]. Poles appear fastened to the side of walls in some areas. Captured [[Volbonan]]s behave similarly.

|Puzzle Parts are restricted to 3×3 grids. Capturing one allows Mario to roll it by turning it on its faces. Landing it in the slot adjacent to the grid on the correct face solves the puzzle and rewards Mario with a Power Moon.

|Toy taxis used in the [[RC Car Challenge]]. Capturing a blonde, hatless [[New Donker]] allows Mario to control an RC Car. The controls match those of a real {{wp|RC car}}, with the {{button|switch|leftstick}} accelerating and the {{button|switch|rightstick}} steering. RC Cars are restricted to toy circuits. Lapping the circuit within a certain amount of time rewards Mario with a Power Moon. This time is recorded by the Rankings Board.

|Mario becomes a ball of electric energy when he captures a spark pylon. The ball can travel along powerlines. Shaking the controller increases his speed and causes him to briefly go off course to collect nearby coins.

|Taxis are driven along the roads in New Donk City and stop if Mario is in their way. Taxis launch Mario into the air like [[Trampoline|Springboard]]s when he jumps on them. One parked taxi is capturable. Propelling it with the {{button|switch|leftstick}} brings Mario to a hidden, stormy area.

|In most areas, trees are immobile and can be climbed like poles. The design and species of tree varies by kingdom. A cartoonish tree in the [[Deep Woods]], incongruent with the realistic conifers of the same kingdom, can be captured and moved, exposing a glowing spot. The palm trees in Tostarena have broad fronds that can be stood on like platforms.

|Zippers seal hidden alcoves and doorways in the terrain. Capturing one allows Mario to unzip the area. In Lake Lamode, unzipping certain areas makes the wall fall away, but remain useable as a flat platform.

|Blocky pipes. Entering one transforms Mario into an [[:File:SMO 8bit Mario.png|8-bit sprite]] and brings him a flat, 2D area on the perpendicular wall. Exiting an 8-bit pipe returns him to normal.

|Lava cannons sit in lava. One launches a captured [[Lava Bubble]] to distant pools, often circumventing solid terrain that Lava Bubbles cannot traverse otherwise.

|Moon Pipes only appear once the Moon Rock of the visited kingdom is struck. They bring Mario to surreal, otherworldly subareas with their own Power Moons to collect.

|An old-fashioned motor scooter that can be ridden by Mario. Pressing {{button|switch|y}} makes the scooter accelerate, and {{button|switch|b}} makes Mario jump with it. The motor scooter is faster than Mario can be used to avoid speedy hazards. Bringing it to a rooftop [[parking lot]] awards Mario with a Power Moon.

|Entering a pipe brings Mario to a new area. Mario can circumvent the entrance animation with a ground pound or [[roll]].

|These doors fling open when struck by Cappy. They lead to subareas with Power Moons to collect. There are similar blue doors that only open when a nearby scarecrow is struck.

|Striking a slingshot with Cappy flings Mario over distant areas.

|A small [[painting]]. It [[warp]]s Mario to the location in the frame, often a kingdom he has yet to visit. There is one hidden in ten of the kingdoms. Large paintings are locked away into towers around [[Peach's Castle]]. These paintings lead to rematches against the kingdom bosses.

|Knocking garbage into some open dumpsters makes it release a Life-Up Heart or Power Moon. This also closes the lid.

|{{wp|Walnut}}-like fruits found throughout the Steam Gardens, rooted to the sides of walls and the ground. Cracking open a nut reveals it contained a Power Moon. Several nuts can only be reached as a captured Uproot.

|Platforms that break once stood on and slowly descend before disappearing. The [[vanishing platform]]s that appear in a Timer Challenge and the giant [[moon platform]]s in the [[Underground Moon Caverns]] function like Falling Platforms.

|Pressing a P Switch causes a Flower Road to form a nearby bridge across [[pit|bottomless pit]]s. It gradually recedes at the rear and will disappear beneath Mario's feet if he does not keep pace with it.

|Pendulous blocks that swing across empty space. They are briefly parallel with the ground at the fullest arch of the swing, allowing them to briefly be stood on.

|Iron girders extend over bottomless pits and create narrow gaps between which Mario can [[Wall Jump]]. Some girders are hollow and can be entered, while others are [[Swinging Scaffolding]]s suspended by chains. In 2D areas, [[Donkey Kong]] tosses [[barrel]]s down girders.

|Metal columns carried by a lava flow. They are pushed deeper into lava as they pass under grating, but rise back up.

|Moon Pedestals are flush with the ground. Power Moons appear above them, either by completing a nearby task or just inherently in the environment.

|Platforms that can be vertically raised by a captured Uproot.

|Platforms rising above [[poison (obstacle)|poison]] in a 2D area. They appear in pairs. Standing on one Mushroom Platform causes it to sink under Mario's weight and the other to rise. They return to their original positions when he jumps off.

|Striking a Mysterious Cloud with Cappy temporarily transforms it into a broad, cloud platform. It only lasts for a few seconds before returning to its original state.

|Rotating ruin platforms on climbable poles in the [[Lost Kingdom|Forgotten Isle]]. They rotate clockwise in set intervals. Similar platforms called [[Gear (Super Mario Odyssey)|Gear]]s appear in the Luncheon Kingdom.

|Protrusions that shift in and out of walls.

|Stair-like pillar platforms. One's position shifts when the elevated pillar is ground-pounded.

|Oblong platforms in the Underground Power Plant. One lights up and rotates around its pivot point for a brief period of time when struck by Cappy. It slows down before stopping completely.

|Sand Geysers rise and fall out of [[quicksand]] around [[Tostarena Ruins]]. A fully risen geyser can be used as a platform. An actively rising Sand Geyser carries Mario to its top, potentially keeping him from sinking into the quicksand.

|Rotating platforms attached to the side of Mount Volbono. One side of a spinning saucepan is lava, the other solid earth. They rotate in set intervals that can be timed.

|Platforms that submerge in lava in set intervals, then rise back up. Only the center of the platform is consistently above lava.

|Trampolines bounce Mario high into the air. Ground-pounding the surface makes him jump higher. There are variants of trampoline in most kingdoms that match the surround environment. Examples include parasols, {{wp|awning}}s, taxis, and [[Mushroom Trampoline|big mushroom]]s.

|Invisible platforms and lifts that can only be seen as a captured [[Moe-Eye]]. Some Transparent Platforms outpace Moe-Eye with drawn shades, necessitating traversal without the platforms being visible.

|Chain-link lifts that appear above lava. Some Wire Net Platforms are attached to tracks that bring them through lava directly. Fiery hazards and Lava Bubbles can phase through them.

|Hawks found soaring above Tostarena. They carry Power Moons and release them when struck. These birds fly in consistent patterns that can be tracked.

|A giant butterfly in the Forgotten Isle that releases a Power Moon when struck. It is potentially an {{wp|Imago|imaginal}} [[Tropical Wiggler]]. Smaller butterflies with more realistic designs appear in other kingdoms.

|Small birds of Shiveria. They are skittish and take flight when approached. One carries a Power Moon.

|An ancient ring beneath the [[Inverted Pyramid]], worn by [[Knucklotec]]. After being stolen by Bowser, the pyramid rises from the dunes and sends the Sand Kingdom into a cold snap. The returned article can be ground-pounded for a Power Moon.

|The traditional reward for the [[Bound Bowl Grand Prix]], baked by the [[Shiverian Elder]]. It appears in the background of the [[Snowline Circuit]] once returned.

|The national treasure of Lake Lamode, worn by Princess Peach for most of the game. Its theft leaves the [[Lochlady|Lochladies]] despaired. Once returned, the dress is put back on display. Its mannequin is a glowing knob-like structure that releases a Power Moon.

|Flowers cultivated by [[Steam Gardener]]s on the [[Sky Garden Tower]] and in the [[Secret Flower Field]]. Most of the flowers are stolen by the [[Broodals]] and [[Torkdrift]] for Bowser's wedding, and they are incorporated into Peach's bouquet. They recolonize these areas once each of their's respective boss is defeated.

|[[Water]] from the carbonated sea of Bubblaine. [[Mollusque-Lanceur]] inhibits the fountains and keeps locals from using the water. Defeating the boss makes the fountains flow again and the Sparkle Water accessible to everyone again.

|The national dish of the Volbonans, served in [[Peronza Plaza]] for the Cooking Carnival. The stew is as hot as lava, burning Mario. Knocking certain vegetables into Stupendous Stew releases coins or moons. It is briefly apprehended by Cookatiel and is served at Bowser's wedding.

|Checkpoint Flags appear in most kingdoms and on the ''Odyssey''. Dying brings the player to the last Checkpoint Flag they touched or hit with Cappy. The player can also warp to any Checkpoint Flag they previously touched or hit with Cappy by selecting it on the map. Touching an underwater Checkpoint Flag or hitting one with Cappy spawns a bubble.
