THE FINAL MOONS

 

Super Mario Odyssey - https://youtu.be/8JXoL2Oqq4s

 

That's it! Golden sail! I'm done!

 

Knowing those two minigames were required, I never expected to actually obtain all 880 moons. Yes, there was Darker Side… but that challenge is more or less just a gauntlet of smaller challenges. And none of those are quite so perfectionist as the minigames, though the Pokio section tried. (By the way, I didn't quit on the jump rope. 101 was actually the highest I managed.)

 

Having done Champion's Road on 3D World, I more or less knew what to expect: a variety of challenges from across the game, remixed a little and then strung together in a series of incredible length. I find it funny that my winning run was one where I messed up a lot and therefore took much longer than normal. Still, that was the one where I got it done!

 

And yes, I realized after stream that I never read the map for Darker Side. I'll post the text and images below:

One Serious Crater

 

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

 

The impact destroyed the civilization that flourished on the moon, which is how Culmina Crater came to be. The crater itself is so massive, you cannot see the bottom.

 

_{Space. It's real pretty.}

 

Seeing the Bright Side

 

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

 

You can see each star twinkle as they nestle close to one another.

 

It will all be OK—you are not alone.

 

 

Moon Mysteries

 

When you look up inside the caverns you may see deposits that look like the cubic Moon Rocks. Were the rocks that fell planetside originally formed here?

 

_{The original? A copy? Who knows?}

 

A Bewildering Building

 

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

 

_{It just sits there. Taunting you.}

 

A Lone Pipe in a Crater

 

This is the only 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.

 

Of course, if you have the confidence of a traveler who has done everything else the world has to offer, give it a shot! Overcome this, and adventurers the world over will sing your praises.

Inside the Moon

 

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.

 

Three Keys to the Kingdom

1. See the mysterious building that so closely resembles New Donk City Hall.
2. Reach the far recesses of the giant cavern where none dare tread.
3. Test your skills as a hardened tourist one last time.
