I'm missing 4 coins in lake kingdom and have looked everywhere. The only coins left I need. Any ideas?

Don't stop now, seriously check out some of the post game. Some of the best platforming in the game is there and the game still has plenty to offer before descending into a collectathon.
You could always
pick up the rock and smash it against an enemy or another rock.
Nah, it's the pointlessness of picking the one that has the moon. Most other things there's at least some hint. This feels like busy work.
Bah, The Darker Side of the Moon was dissapointly easy. I wanted Champions Road levels of difficulty! : (
Finished all moons. I maintain my stance that this was my favorite Mario since 64 (coming from someone that fell out of the franchise). I can agree that there is a lack of challenge in most areas of the game including post game, but it wasn't so bad. I liked the adventure aspect. I will say that the bloat via moons in end game wasn't the best. I did all moons by world as I went so going back to pick up moons in non sub levels wasn't really that fun or additive to the experience. The final challenge of the game wasn't close to 3D World's final challenge. Not even remotely close. lol
I only have 151 moons. Can't be arsed to find another 100.
You do realise there are
over 800 moons
I do. I was told you need 250 for the post game.
Did you find the zipper on the back wall underwater near where you start?
nah the vast majority of new post game content is available right after you beat the game. regardless of how many moons you have.
Nope that starts straight away, i seriously recommend you keep playing, I'm not usually this pushy but you'll be missing out if you don't.
Deep in the post game and the simplicity of the game starts to show. The several worlds are themselves actually quite small and once their nuances and secrets begin to unravel the depth feels reduced. Many, many moons are incredibly simple and formulaic in approach. I don't think it's a major issue but for my personal taste the impact of the game has been lessened as the process of acquiring moons becomes routine, and the sense of reward reduced as they're handed out like candy and without much challenge. The game is at its best when you're faced with a more complex challenge, reflect or cerebral (or both!), knowing there's a moon at the end. The platforming specific challenges are good examples, as are the more inventive, hidden moons. I feel the game probably has far, far too many moons. I totally dig why they did it and why some might like it, but the abundance trivializes the sense of reward. And it's hard to just go for the "fun moons" or anything like that when there's no way to differentiate them. You're basically left running around scooping up whatever you can. It makes the moment-to-moment play working through the first time very satisfying, but burns out pretty quickly in the last half (or more) for people like me.
This is the polar opposite of something like Galaxy 2 where I felt almost if not every single star was a reward to be worked towards. No fluff stars or stopgaps filling the play space in between, as the game relied on interactive challenge instead.
I do think a lot of these issues I have with the game can be pinpointed on Nintendo working with a formula/template that's pretty fresh for them at the moment. It's been a long time since Mario 64, and the hat mechanic would have required a lot of trial and error alongside a lot of work building new posessable characters. I really hope we see an Odyssey 2 where Nintendo is more comfortable and focused with the vision, able to make up for some of Odyssey's "first in the series" weaknesses.
Great game, but yeah. For me doesn't have anywhere near the completionist draw and strong pacing right to the end of Galaxy 2, which is still my gold standard of the series.

It's the only song in the game that grates on me, actually. It's all right, but I can't stand listening to it for more than a couple of loops when out and exploring. That's part of the reason I've left off completing the Wooded Kingdom for last, along with the heavy segmentation of that level. At least when I go back, I'll be able to
play my own music.
Agreed. I kept forgetting about about this type of moon and I️t just seemed so silly
Remember you can slow them down by hitting them with their hat. This made I️t really easy for me
...I've officially given up on fixing the I️t bug
Am I correct that the only available in-game help towards finding all purple coins is via the Bowser amiibo? I'd prefer not to use a guide if there's a decent alternative, but I'm not sure that I can see myself finding every last coin without any aids at all in most worlds.
amiibo not an option that you can/want to use for the exact location, I assume?
How do you access it? Or where do you go from the mushroom kingdom?
I keep starting other games (in today's case, Automata), then getting bored and picking up Odyssey again supposedly for a few minutes "just to find a moon or two," but then I end up playing it for 5 hours straight.
I haven't been this engrossed with a 3D Mario game since 64.

Beat the game last week. It's so fantastic I created a new user account so I could replay it from the beginning.
Anywhere. Pick a kingdom and head to the light.
Finally got round to checking this out.. How the hell does anyone put something like that together?! How do you not accidentally nudge something and send it all tumbling!
I think that there are some tools available that can help with the setup, but I expect that it's in large part some extreme care and patience (note the description: "After 2 months of continuous work here it is, Super Mario Odyssey In Dominoes!"). I'd guess that each part isn't connected to the others until the very end, to prevent and accidents from being completely catastrophic.
Take a look at his other videos - he's quite prolific!

I had a blast with the game. Great bosses and so many brilliant ideas all around. It is really a love letter to the franchise, with some of the more memorable moments in a Mario game.
I feared that the game might become boring due to the back tracking but it is not. There is such a diversity of moons and so many ways to find them that the novelty is still there even after more than 50 hours.
A true masterpiece.

Both. New Donk City is a place within Metro Kingdom. Like Peach's Castle within the Mushroom Kingdom.

So is there a way to create a new save game without deleting your current one? Or do you have to create a new account just for that? (Because I don't want to do that. It's hacky and stupid and unnecessary.)
I mean what happened to multiple save slots? Even Zelda seems to keep like a dozen auto saves. Why does Mario only have one slot?

I was going to do this same thing upon 100% completion. It's too bad though that you can't just create another file within the game ;\
Yeah, Volleyball is driving me nuts. I got up to 75. 100 is way too much for Vball imo.
Yep, this is essential. You don't really need to move at all once you're used to using the hat to return the ball.
You do not need to use a new user account. There are 5 save files in Mario. Hit +>Options>Data Management>Load and then just select a new file. You can go back and forth between any of the files by selecting to load them.
So to confirm, if I choose New Game at the title screen, it'll save in another slot and not replace the one I have? And when I Continue it'll just play from the last one I played?You do not need to use a new user account. There are 5 save files in Mario.

No idea because I never actually closed Mario since you can't turn off the console in dock mode (only put it to sleep) so just do it the way I showed. Just save your game before switching save file in case it's been a while since it auto saved.
Yes. You just have to load it from data management to make it the default file to continue from.
I don't know why they couldn't give you all the
that you've earned in one swell swoop. So annoying that you have to keep talking to her to get them one by one.
achievement moons
Well New York is a place inside New York, and New Donk is based on New York, so it makes sense!
Heads up y'all: I'm thinking of making a photo mode challenge thread where people can set a challenge and then posters have to take a photo completing the challenge. I figured it would be a fun way to make use of the photo mode. Would anyone be interested in taking part in this challenge thread?
I'm thinking stuff along the lines of take a photo of Mario jumping off from the highest point in New Donk City or take a photo of Mario running with his back turned to the first boss. Hopefully fun stuff people enjoy taking cool pictures of.

100% after 80 hours (damn)
Masterful game which I had a truly wondrous experience with... but damn if the post game wasn't a repetitious grind. This culminated in Dark Side which felt like an insult after finally arriving with 850+ moons. Grinding coins to purchase the final moons (really?) then just put this over the top.
It's certainly the best Mario since the Galaxy's but, much like BotW, there are some unfortunate mis-steps and areas of obvious improvement. What is there, in both cases, remains absolutely fantastic though nonetheless.

So I'm at 99.9%. Cleaned up all Kingdoms, completed the capture list, got all the music and purchased all costumes and enough Power Moons to be sitting at 998 with only the Darker Side of the Moon left.
Will give this final challenge a shot tonight.

I think those 2 are the most anti-ocd games that I've played.
