==Brochure details==

[[File:SMO Bowser Brochure A.png|thumb|left|150px|''Mallets big enough to climb on.'']]

''Don't run afoul of the Stairface Ogres that guard this kingdom. When they spot an intruder, they bring their huge mallets down, no questions asked. On the other hand, you have to admire their tenacity and work ethic. The scars on their faces show they don't give up easily.''

[[File:SMO Bowser Brochure B.png|thumb|200px|''Architecture as lovely as the scenery.'']]

''This kingdom's architecture is unique. Roofs are made of heavy, layered tiles that will not budge even if walked upon. They also create a uniformity in the overall design, enhancing the beauty of the palace.''

[[File:SMO Bowser Brochure D.png|thumb|left|150px|''Statues or not, they're certainly imposing.'']]

''The palace tower highlights the inner citadel, and the gate leading to it is guarded by fearsome statues.''

''The statues are fashioned after gods of wind and thunder, the perfect motif for a sky palace, and since they are modeled on Bowser, the ruler of this kingdom, they serve as a warning to foes here and abroad.''

[[File:SMO Bowser Brochure E.png|thumb|150px|''Beware rolling ordinance.'']]

''Surrounding the inner citadel are the second and third courts. The second court is especially fortified, with many cannons to repel invaders. Cannonballs often roll along the ground, and many tourists fall trying to evade them. Legends speak of invaders [[Pokio|repelling the cannonballs with spears]], but no mere mortal could hope to do this, so try not to get too close!''

[[File:SMO Bowser Brochure F.png|thumb|left|150px|''These statues, called [[jizo]], stand in a row.'']]

''This elegant garden is a balm for the brutality of this kingdom and will help you forget all the hardships you faced to reach it. You can even buy souvenirs, so be sure you stop by!''

''All along the walls, these holes were meant to allow defenders to shoot at invaders, but nowadays you're more likely to find a demon or a snake coming out than an arrow.''

==Checkpoint Flag locations==

===Odyssey===

{{main|Odyssey}}

The Odyssey lands in the southwestern corner of the kingdom. [[Hint Toad]] and [[Uncle amiibo]] are nearby. Mario can throw [[Cappy]] onto one of the Bowser heads on the fence behind the Odyssey to spawn a Power Moon. After completing this kingdom's story objectives, [[Banktoad]] will appear near the front gate along with a [[Warp Pipe]] that leads to the left of the Beneath the Keep checkpoint.

===Third Courtyard (Front)===

At the start of the area are two torches, a [[Checkpoint Flag]], and two [[Pokio]]s. Further to the right is an area with some crates, two [[Spiny|Spinies]], and three [[? Block]]s. The middle ? Block contains a [[Heart (item)|Heart]]. If [[Mario]] [[capture]]s a Pokio, he can fling himself to the upper level, where there is another Spiny, some crates, and a [[spark pylon]] which leads to [[Third Courtyard (Rear)]]. A wall with another Spiny and some [[regional coin]]s on it can also be found up here; if Mario falls off the right side of this wall, he finds a hidden platform with a Pokio and [[Power Moon]] #5, "[[List of Power Moons in Bowser's Kingdom#Behind the Big Wall|Behind the Big Wall]]".

===Second Courtyard===

The spark pylon at the end of Third Courtyard (Rear) leads here. This area is armed with cannons that fire rolling [[bomb]]s, which can be used to destroy metal crates by using Cappy to alter their trajectory. The second story mission, [[Smart Bombing]], takes place here, in which Mario must collect five Moon Shards to spawn a Power Moon.

===Souvenir Shop===

[[File:Crazy Cap Bowsers Kingdom.jpg|thumb]]

This island is in between the Second Courtyard and Main Courtyard Entrance, and it consists of a [[Crazy Cap]] surrounded by a small garden. Behind the shop is a small sitting area. A [[New Donker]] stands next to a locked door in the back of the shoppe, granting Mario access to a secret area if he is wearing the Samurai Helmet and Samurai Armor.

===Main Courtyard Entrance===

[[File:SMO Bowser Brochure D.png|thumb]]

[[Hariet]] and [[Topper]] are fought in this area. The [[Checkpoint Flag]] is on the bridge in the middle. A [[Jizo]] statue is installed behind the building on the right. Mario may capture the statue and hop around a bit to find glowing spots have appeared in the ground. Moving the Jizo over these spots often reveals [[coin]]s, [[Heart (item)|heart]]s, and possibly a [[Life-Up Heart]]. There is a painting behind the building on the left leading to either the [[Snow Kingdom]] or [[Seaside Kingdom]] depending on the order in which they were visited. Three regional coins may also be found atop this building. There are two large, round platforms on either side of the large, golden [[Bowser Statue]]s. Mario must fight Topper on the platform on the right and Hariet on the platform on the left. Defeating both of them reveals a [[Power Moon]] between the platforms Mario must collect to complete the mission and open up a bridge to the Main Courtyard.

===Main Courtyard===

This Checkpoint Flag is right beyond the door that opens after fighting Hariet and Topper. The kingdom's Moon Rock and [[Hint Art]] are found here. Up ahead is a bridge leading to the main part of the castle, where Mario must capture Pokios and scale walls while dodging bombs.

===Outer Wall===

[[File:SMO Bowser's Moon 14.png|thumb|left]]

This Checkpoint Flag is found right after getting past the bombs in the Main Courtyard. Up ahead is a Stairface Ogre guarding a tall wall with rotating circles that Mario must scale with a captured Pokio. Nearby metal crates, one of which contains a Power Moon, can be broken by having the Stairface Ogre crush them.

===Inner Wall===

This Checkpoint Flag is at the top of the Outer Wall. Up ahead is another Pokio wall, this one featuring horizontally sliding rectangular panels and columns of spikes Mario must avoid.

===Beneath the Keep===

[[File:SMO Bowser's Moon 11.png|thumb]]

At the top of the Inner Wall, Mario will find a Checkpoint Flag on a bridge over a pool of poison. [[Talkatoo]] is found here, as is the leader of the [[Roving Racers]] later on. Up ahead is a spark pylon that takes Mario to the roof of a [[wikipedia:Tenshu|Tenshu]] with a massive golden model of Bowser's head within it. This is where Mario encounters Bowser and initiates the battle with [[RoboBrood]] over the arena.

===Showdown Arena===

[[File:SMO Bowser's Moon 42.png|thumb]]

A circular arena where RoboBrood is fought. After defeating RoboBrood, there is a Warp Pipe leading to a bonus area and a [[Scarecrow (object)|scarecrow]] that spawns a tower of rotating platforms leading to a Power Moon. Another Power Moon can be found buried under the ground.

==Trivia==

*The kingdom's industry (hanafuda cards) may be a reference to Nintendo's origins as a card company.

*While capturing a [[spark pylon]] in this kingdom, the sound it makes to the music is replaced by {{wp|Koto (instrument)|koto}} samples to reflect its Japanese theme. Additionally, if specific music is played in the [[List of Super Mario Odyssey media|Music List]], the sound will slow down.
