Super Mario Odyssey - Getting the Band Together: Band member locations for where to find Drummer, Bassist, Guitarist and Trumpeter

How to complete the Metro Kingdom objective.

Getting the Band Together: and it's respective band member locations for the Drummer, Bassist, Guitarist and Trumpeter are objectives you'll encounter about halfway through Super Mario Odyssey, which follow on from Super Mario Odyssey - New Donk City's Pest Problem and A Fresh Start for the City.

You'll find our full walkthrough for them here, whilst you can head back to our main Super Mario Odyssey guide, walkthrough and tips hub for plenty more on all aspects of the game!

Getting the Band Together - band member locations for the Drummer, Bassist, Guitarist and Trumpeter

Band member 1 - Drummer

Turn right and you'll see your first band member - the drummer - sat outside the New Donk City Hall. Speak to him to get him on board and grab a Moon for your troubles (Drummer on Board).

Band member 2 - Bassist

While facing the New Donk City Hall, turn left and head towards the edge of the city. Use the Spark pylon and travel across the square park. Cross the checkpoint (Mayor Pauline Commemorative Park) to speak to the bassist and claim a Moon (Bassist on Board).

Band member 3 - Guitarist

While facing New Donk City Hall, turn 180-degrees and head down the street. Turn left at the park and you'll see the guitarist in the corner off the park, surrounded by a crowd. Speak to him to get him on board and claim another Moon (Guitarist on Board).

Band member 4 - Trumpeter

This guy's trickier to find, and even tougher to reach. While facing the New Donk City Hall, turn 180-degrees and move down the street, take the second right, follow the road down until you see a purple building on your right. Use the wall of this building and the taller one next to it to wall bounce to the top.


Need more help? Our Super Mario Odyssey guide and walkthrough goes through every objective in each Kingdom, while our Power Moon locations can help you track down the likes of Cascade Kingdom Power Moons, Sand Kingdom Power Moons, Metro Kingdom and New Donk City Power Moons and more collectables. We also have Purple Coin locations for each Kingdom, and if you want to know what to spend it on, we have a hats list, outfits list, stickers list, a souvenirs list as well as a music list to kit out the appearance of both Mario and the Odyssey. Once you've finished the game, check out the free Balloon World update, too.


Walk around the edge of the grey building, and throw your cap at the brown stick in the side of the wall. Pull back on the Pole and flick yourself onto the next ledge. Head around to the other side of the building and use the Pole. Do this a third time, then use the wooden boxes to reach the very top of the building.

And: Purple Penny locations

Now use the final Pole to flick yourself over to the other building with the Trumpeter on it. Catch your breath, talk to him and claim a Moon (Trumpeter on Board) for your efforts. The band is now back together!
