Accurate.
There are two in-game hint systems. One is a parrot who will tell you the names of moons for free, but won't point you to a location. The second is a hint Toad that charges 50 coins and marks the location of moons on your map.
The moons on the top left as what you have collected so far. When you add them to the ship they go away from the top left. If you find more after adding to ship they'll show up on top left
The number on th sail ontop he ship is total you've found all together in entire game
The number Cappy talks about is how many you need to fuel the ship to fly to the next world
"Need 10 more!" , even if you have 15 on the upper left, it doesn't count until you throw your hat on the globe
I don't want to spoil too much, but I'll say that you should play at your own pace. That's what I did. I went for some of the hidden moons but didn't try to 100% every kingdom the very first time. There is a post-game that will allow you to do that, so don't stress it too much the first time around. Also, (ever so slight spoiler about post-game)
some moons are locked behind the post-game anyways, so I would even further say to not try to 100% it your first time in each kingdom
They meant the dive as he said lunging forward while in the air. Thats ZL and y.
The move you posted is the long jump that only works while grounded.
The two moves work together for a really long jump though. Long jump, then dive. Can then throw hat again and dive to it, but you can't boonce off the hat a second time and just fall once reaching it. Kotaku posted an article showing how to do it.
You literally can't complete each Kingdom before moving on to the next, some Moons only become available after you unlock other levels or once you beat the game. You can get all the Purple Coins in each world before completing the game, though.
My 4-year-old is playing on assist mode and is midway through the Sand Kingdom. He's having a blast even though he obviously won't be able to do everything at this point.
I think a 6-year-old could handle the first few worlds just fine.
Three if you have an Amiibo as the Amiibo station robot will send the Amiibo scouting for five minutes and then mark a moon in the map when you return to it after five minutes.
Not all moons will be possible to get until end game. You can move on to the next worlds, you won't miss anything if you decide to come back later.
There are hint systems built into the game.
Parrot - each world has a parrot that when you talk to gives the name of the moon that you've yet to collect.
Toad - there is a toad in each world that will let you buy a hint to a moon location for 50 coins.
Amiibo - next to the Toad in each world is a machine that when you scan your amiibo, gives you a marker on your map to a missing moon.
Could be. I don't do Amiibo. Never touched the stuff. Seen what it does to people.
Lol, fair enough.
Not a could be, definitely is as I've been using it. :-)
Hello all. Reached the credits of the game, and no game this year has put a bigger, continuous smile on my face throughout its duration than Super Mario Odyssey has. From Mario's movements to the creative kingdoms, goals, and gameplay segments, I'm in love. Heck, even the photo mode has sapped away so much of my playtime. I've invested around 12-15 hours since getting the game on Thursday night, and it's rare for me to play a game in such large chunks (about five hours in one session was my max this go around) in my adult life. It shows the excellence and that "one more Power Moon" factor that Odyssey possesses. So addicting.
It yall hate the deep woods like me gamexplain posted a trick to make it a lot easier

Thank you all! Sounds like I'll just move along until it seems like a "chore" to be looking for stuff or I get bored of the area. Thanks again :) Back to the game.
Good to know. I'll push forward. Is that part of the game gated away by how many moons you have?
Indeed. I'm finding it very refreshing after how bored I got with BOTW's huge and mostly empty (IMO) world. I'm pretty fatigued on open world games in general I guess.
The only time you're gated behind a moon requirement is when you're going to the next kingdom. You can backtrack as much as you like unless the story prohibits you (which only happens a few times)
So is it fair to say that exploring for more moons is more or less entirely for the sake of experiencing new things and it's not locking away content like stars in other mario games? If so I'm actually more interested in pushing forward now.
If I can wrestle the TV from the four year old I definitely will!
Just bought the poncho and sombrero - I can't believe they're actually letting you use the coins to buy stuff. This game might be as engaging as SMB3 was.
My 6 year old is pretty much a pro at this game. He loves it.
Finally able to unwrap and sink my teeth in last evening. Absolutely shocked on how much I'm enjoying this game so far with limited time in.
One of my biggest turn-offs from the last few games was how "orgasmic" Mario would be, just when you accomplished practically anything. This game feels very light on pizazz, constantly throwing you back into gameplay environments.

So I captured the Trex yesterday, but no matter how many stuff I destroy with it, there doesn't seem to be any hidden moon. I'm sure I'm missing something...
Also, what are those big metallic blocks I see in almost every kingdoms? Can't seem to be able to destroy them, so I guess it's something to do later?

the pacing of the game couldn't be any better — two to three set pieces per kingdom, pick up any other moons that catch your eye along the way, and then on to the next kingdom. it makes me genuinely excited to see what's next.
just finished new donk city's last main story part, which brought me to tears, haha. this is probably my favorite game of the year.

You won't be able to do anything with them until post game. Anything more is a spoiler.
I'd say so. Collecting the moons is more for completion's sake. Like, if you want to see all the little hidden things tucked away, you'll want to chase hidden moons, bit as far as seeing all of the game's story and setpieces, you'll get all the moons you need without needing to hunt for them. In fact, I usually found myself leaving a kingdom with way more moons than was required just because I found them accidentally while exploring.
In Wooded Kingdom?
There's only one rock thing that's hiding one, but you still have to ground pound it after breaking it.
The rest are more annoying to find.
Just 'beat' the game and man, the game is such a blast. I personally don't feel like the difficulty was too easy. It was on a level that I found to be engaging, whilst also not providing any joy-killing moments. The pacing of the game is excellent, the variety is amazing and all-round the game is just so much fun to play through.
Now to find all moons and explore everything to it's fullest!

This is super important. Enjoy a level in chunks. Find all the easy stars if you want and move on if the level isn't your cup of tea(water levels). Not feeling forced to stay in one place for too long is great.
I've been playing with my twin 6 year olds in 2 player assist mode. At first I had them just control cappy but that is too important of a role. Instead they swap out between Mario with me being cappy. Either player can control the camera so I will take that role and keep them directed. We're up to New Donk City now.
This game is really a good looking game.
Me and the kids played it all day yesterday.
Took me back to my childhood. Worth it for that alone. But the game is fantastic even by yourself.
Is there any to skip the detached Joy Con message when you start up (which btw does make the game a ton easier)?
Amazing game by Nintendo. They are back on top. Be interesting to see what and how they can keep this up.

I've been playing with the Joy-Con AA battery grip things and they are amazing. Forget about the AA's. You don't even need them in unless you like the extra weight. The battery on the Joy-Con are fine. It's all about the grip. The Joy-Cons are so much nicer to hold. I picked them up for 30% off and don't regret it.
How do you bust open those metal boxes? I've tried everything. Since they're in every kingdom, I'm thinking it's an ability or mechanic that opens later on.
I have twin 6 year olds as well.
They are up to Water Kingdom. They are doing fine but need help with bosses.
The biggest issue is not the difficulty. It's sharing the game between the two of them!
Glove and Boots got screwed by YT's algorithms. They have to take break because of financial woes. One of their last live shows was Super Mario Odyssey. Their stuff is usually super fun and the situation is kinda dragging them down. Show them some love ...
And how would that work better if they would patch out the motion controlls? Just because they exist doesn't mean they could have done something better without them. Being able to turn them off is the same as them patching them out.
I seem to be getting close to the end of the "main story" and I'm having a blast. So many fun surprises and loaded with charm. I knew I would like it but I had no idea this is the game it would be and I'm kind of flabbergasted. Nintendo got weird this year in a really great way.
Thanks, that's what I was looking for. The air plunge, not the grounded long jump. I guess I'll have to practice it until I get proficient with it!
The Festival made me cry happy tears. I'm not even gonna lie.
That was an instant classic and an unforgettable, shamelessly and gloriously nostalgic Nintendo moment.

Probably my favorite part of the game, happy tears indeed. The whole area is just pure fun and this was the perfect finish.
I beat the game this morning. Looking forward to going back to get everything else.
