Super Mario Odyssey Seaside Kingdom Power Moons - where to find Seaside Kingdom Moons

Where to find the main set of Seaside Kingdom Power Moons.

Seaside Kingdom Power Moons are what you'll find on this page, where we detail each Seaside Kingdom Power Moon and its location in the region with accompanying screens for extra clarity.

This is where to find Seaside Kingdom Moons then, but for other regions you can cycle back to our Power Moon locations guide hub, or our main Super Mario Odyssey guide and walkthrough hub for much more.

On this page:

Super Mario Odyssey Seaside Kingdom Power Moons 1 to 10

There are 51 Power Moons to find until you reach the end-game, with one involving Peach and then some more.

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.

Other Seaside Kingdom Power Moons you can unlock

As well as the above Moons that appear when you clear a Kingdom for the first time, there is yet another set that you can collect later in the game. Be warned the following contains some light spoilers.

When exploring each Kingdom previously, you may have noticed a giant, grey block that seemingly has no purpose. It's this object you must find once you have completed the game that'll give you even more things to do.

The above video by Nintendo Life explains this in more detail, but in short - complete the game, find the block in any given Kingdom, and more Moons will be available for you to find.

We won't detail these extra Moons here, but the number of these extra challenges available in each Kingdom varies - just like the amount of Moons you could find to begin with. Good luck!
