Mount Volbono is arguably one of the most mechanically distinct regions in Super Mario Odyssey. Known for its vibrant pink lava and food-inspired architecture, the Luncheon Kingdom contains a total of 68 Power Moons. Collecting them all requires a deep understanding of the kingdom’s unique capture mechanics—specifically the Lava Bubble and the Pan-throwing Hammer Bro. This guide provides a systematic breakdown of every moon location, categorized by how and when they become available.

Core Story Moons

The initial progression of the Luncheon Kingdom is tied to five specific story objectives. These moons are mandatory for completing the kingdom's main narrative arc and often transform the landscape upon collection.

1. The Broodals are After Some Cookin'

Upon arriving, head toward Peronza Plaza. You will encounter Spewart of the Broodals. To secure this moon, you must dodge his poison spit and use Cappy to knock his hat off. Once he is vulnerable, jump on his head three times. The moon appears immediately after his defeat.

2. Under the Cheese Rocks

Located near the Path to the Meat Plateau, you will find a massive wall of cheese blocking your way. Capture one of the nearby Hammer Bros (who throw pans in this kingdom). Use the pans to break through the yellow cheese blocks. Beneath these rocks lies a hidden switch; ground-pounding or hitting it with Cappy reveals the Power Moon.

3. Big Pot on the Volcano: Dive In!

This is a Multi Moon worth three Power Moons. After reaching the Meat Plateau, capture the large piece of salt-crusted meat. A giant bird, Cookatiel, will scoop you up and drop you into the massive cooking pot atop the volcano. Navigate the floating ingredients within the stew to reach the Multi Moon at the center.

4. Climb Up the Cascading Magma

Inside the Volcano Cave (entrance found west of Peronza Plaza), you must capture a Lava Bubble. Travel up the lava waterfalls, being careful to avoid the wooden pillars. At the end of the upward trek, light the brazier to spawn this moon.

5. Cookatiel Showdown!

This is another Multi Moon. Return to the summit of Mount Volbono for a final battle with Cookatiel. Use the Lava Bubble capture to swim up the vomit-paths the bird creates. Once you reach the top of its head, jump to deal damage. Repeating this three times concludes the main story of the kingdom.

Environmental and Exploration Moons

These moons are scattered throughout the kingdom and can be collected at various stages of exploration. Many require specific captures or keen observation of the environment.

6. Piled on the Salt

Located on a high rooftop near the Odyssey. After defeating Cookatiel, go to the salt-covered rooftops east of the town. You can reach this by using a Lava Bubble to launch from a cannon near the lava's edge and bailing out mid-air.

7. Lurking in the Pillar’s Shadow

In the lava area north of the Odyssey, there is a stone pillar casting a shadow on a small platform. Capture a Lava Bubble and navigate to the backside of this pillar to find the moon tucked away in a small alcove.

8. Atop the Jutting Crag

From Peronza Plaza, look toward the eastern mountains. Use the cannon in the lava to launch Mario toward the high blue crags. Timing the exit from the Lava Bubble capture is crucial here; aim for the small ledge protruding from the cliffside.

9. Is this an Ingredient Too?!

In the alleyway next to the Crazy Cap shop in Peronza Plaza, there is a stack of wooden crates. Smashing these crates reveals a moon that flies up to a nearby high ledge. Use a wall jump to reach the roof and claim it.

10. Atop a Column in a Row

Along the southern edge of Peronza Plaza, there is a series of stone columns. Use the giant vegetables nearby to gain height, then long-jump across the tops of the columns. Ground-pounding the final column in the sequence will dislodge the moon.

11. Surrounded by Tall Mountains

This moon is situated on a high ledge north of the Path to the Meat Plateau. While it is possible to reach via advanced jumping techniques, the intended path involves using the Meat Plateau flag and looking westward for a glowing spot on the distant cliff. A well-timed long jump or Cappy dive is often the most reliable method.

12. Island of Salt Floating in the Lava

East of the Salt-Pile Isle, there is a small, isolated mound of salt in the middle of the pink lava. Capture a Lava Bubble and jump onto the salt island. Ground-pound the center to reveal the moon.

13. Overlooking a Bunch of Ingredients

Near the entrance to the kingdom, look for a high plateau overlooking the vegetable piles. You can reach this by capturing a Lava Bubble and using the various ramps to gain momentum, eventually jumping onto the high ledge where the moon is visible.

14. Light the Lantern on the Small Island

Capture a Lava Bubble and head toward the small island near the Path to the Meat Plateau. There is an unlit lantern here. Jumping into the lantern while in Lava Bubble form will ignite it, causing the moon to appear.

The Golden Turnip Quest

A unique mechanic in the Luncheon Kingdom involves three "Golden Turnips" that must be brought to the large cooking pot in Peronza Plaza.

15. Golden Turnip Recipe 1

The first turnip is hidden behind some cheese blocks near the Path to the Meat Plateau. Capture a Hammer Bro to break the cheese, pick up the turnip, and walk it back to the plaza. Throwing it into the stew pot rewards you with the moon.

16. Golden Turnip Recipe 2

The second turnip is located on a high ledge near the Volcano Cave entrance. You will need to navigate some narrow platforms while carrying the turnip, making it a test of movement precision.

17. Golden Turnip Recipe 3

The final turnip is found on a remote island in the lava to the far east. This is the most difficult of the three, as it requires navigating multiple moving platforms while carrying the object. It is recommended to clear enemies along the path before attempting the transport.

Timer Challenges and Mini-Games

18. Luncheon Kingdom Timer Challenge 1

Located north of the Odyssey. Hit the scarecrow to spawn a series of platforms over the lava. Quick triple jumps are necessary to reach the moon before the timer expires.

19. Luncheon Kingdom Timer Challenge 2

Found near the Start of the Peak Climb. This challenge involves a series of moving keys and requires precise use of the Lava Bubble's dash mechanic.

20. Luncheon Kingdom Timer Challenge 3

Located behind the large peak. This involves a more complex platforming sequence with high-speed turns. Using Cappy to extend your air time is often the difference between success and failure here.

21. Beneath the Rolling Vegetables

In the area where giant vegetables are rolling down a slope, look for a glowing spot on the ground. Ground-pounding this specific area while avoiding the incoming obstacles will reveal the moon.

22. All the Cracks are Fixed

Near the Salt-Pile Isle, you will see several cracks in the ground. Ground-pound every single crack in the vicinity. Once all are flattened, the Power Moon will spawn in the center of the area.

23. Taking Notes: Swimming in Magma

East of the Odyssey, you will find a treble clef in the lava. Capture a Lava Bubble and follow the trail of notes that appears. You must collect all notes within the time limit; using the dash button (Y) is essential for maintaining speed.

24. Love Above the Lava

Capture the Goombas near the entrance and stack them. You need to create a stack of four Goombas and walk them across the narrow stone paths to reach a Goombette standing on a high platform in the lava.

25. Shopping in Mount Volbono

Purchase this moon for 100 gold coins at the Crazy Cap shop in Peronza Plaza. It is available as soon as you arrive in the kingdom.

26. Luncheon Kingdom Slots

Inside the slots building in Peronza Plaza. Use Cappy to stop the icons so that all four show the Power Moon symbol. This is largely a test of timing, but standing close to the icons helps visualize the patterns.

Hidden Rooms and Secret Passages

27. A Strong Simmer

Inside the secret room found behind a door in the lava area (requires a Lava Bubble to reach). You must navigate the platforming challenge while the "lava" level rises and falls. The moon is at the end of the main path.

28. An Extreme Simmer

In the same room as Moon 27, look for a hidden path at the very end of the course. Instead of taking the exit, look for a series of narrow ledges to the side that lead to a second, more difficult moon.

29. Alcove Behind the Pillars of Magma

Inside the Volcano Cave. As you climb the magma waterfall, look behind you toward the start of the climb. There is a hidden alcove containing this moon that is easy to miss if you only look forward.

30. Treasure Beneath the Cheese Rocks

Capture a Hammer Bro and head to the area where you found Moon 2. There is an additional set of cheese blocks buried lower in the ground. Destroying these reveals a hidden chest containing the moon.

31. Light the Two Flames

In the area near the Volcano Cave, use a Lava Bubble to light two distinct braziers located on separate platforms. Both must be lit within a short timeframe for the moon to appear.

32. Light the Far-Off Lanterns

Similar to Moon 31, but the lanterns are much further apart. This usually requires capturing a Fire Bro and using long-range shots to hit the distant targets.

33. Bon Appétit, Captain Toad!

Captain Toad is found on a high ledge overlooking the lava to the north. You must capture a Lava Bubble, launch from a cannon, and bail out at the perfect moment to land next to him. Speaking to him rewards you with the moon.

34. The Treasure Chest in the Veggies

Near the path to the Meat Plateau, there is a small door hidden behind some giant tomatoes. Inside, you will find a treasure chest. Simply open it to claim the moon.

35. Caught Hopping at the Volcano!

A rabbit can be found near the Peronza Plaza entrance. Chasing and catching it will reward you with a moon. Using Cappy to stun the rabbit makes this significantly easier.

36. Taking Notes: Big Pot Swim

Once you have access to the giant pot at the top of the volcano, find the treble clef inside. Collect all the notes while swimming in the stew to reveal the moon.

Advanced Platforming Challenges

37. Magma Swamp: Floating and Sinking

Enter the secret door in the lava swamp area. You must navigate a series of platforms that sink into the lava. Precise jumping and timing are the only ways to survive this gauntlet.

38. Corner of the Magma Swamp

In the same room as Moon 37, look for a hidden turn near the middle of the course. A separate path leads to a corner where this second moon is hidden.

39. Magma Narrow Path

Accessed via a door near the Salt-Pile Isle. This is a "no-cappy" challenge. You must walk across very narrow paths over the lava. Focus on steady thumbstick movement.

40. Crossing to the Magma

Inside the same room as Moon 39, there is a hidden ledge underneath the final platform. You must drop down carefully to find it.

41. Fork Flickin’ to the Summit

Enter the door near the Peak Climb. Use the Volbonans (the fork-like NPCs) to flick Mario upward through a series of vertical challenges.

42. Fork Flickin’ Detour

In the same room as Moon 41, look for a side path during the final flick sequence. Flicking yourself sideways instead of straight up will lead you to this moon.

43. Excavate ’n’ Search the Cheese Rocks

Inside a secret room accessible by breaking cheese blocks near the plaza. You must find five moon shards hidden within the various cheese structures inside the room.

44. Climb the Cheese Rocks

In the shard room (Moon 43), use a Hammer Bro to build a staircase out of cheese blocks to reach a high ledge where this moon is hidden.

45. Spinning Athletics End Goal

Enter the pipe near the Odyssey. This is an 8-bit segment featuring rotating platforms. Reach the end of the sequence to get the moon.

46. Taking Notes: Spinning Athletics

Inside the same 8-bit room as Moon 45, collect the notes on the rotating circles to spawn this moon.

47. Secret Path to Mount Volbono!

This moon is accessed via a warp painting in a different kingdom (usually the Lake Kingdom or Wooded Kingdom, depending on your choices). It leads to a high, isolated floating island in the Luncheon Kingdom.

48. A Tourist in the Luncheon Kingdom!

Part of the multi-kingdom quest. Talk to the Tostarenan tourist in the Metro Kingdom, then find him again in the Luncheon Kingdom near the entrance.

49. Found with Luncheon Kingdom Art

Look at the Hint Art in the Luncheon Kingdom. It depicts a location in the Seaside Kingdom. Travel there and ground-pound the spot indicated by the art (usually near the bridge) to find the moon.

Post-Game Moons

These moons become available only after the main story of Super Mario Odyssey has been completed.

50. The Rooftop Lantern

Once the kingdom is at peace, a new lantern appears on a rooftop in Peronza Plaza. Use a Fire Bro to light it.

51. Jammin' in the Luncheon Kingdom

Talk to the Toad wearing headphones in Peronza Plaza. He will request a specific music track. Play the "Honeylune Ridge: Collapse" track to receive the moon.

52. Mechanic: Repairs Complete!

Wear the Mechanic Outfit (purchasable at the Crazy Cap shop) and talk to the Volbonan near the town entrance who is struggling with a machine.

53. Diving from the Big Pot!

Climb to the very top of the volcano's pot and dive into the smaller pot located on a lower ledge in the plaza.

54. Hat-and-Seek: Among the Food

Find the Bonneton (hat) hiding on the head of one of the Volbonans in the plaza. It will have eyes on the back.

55. Luncheon Kingdom: Regular Cup

Win the Koopa Freerunning race. The key is to use the Lava Bubble capture effectively to bypass long walking sections.

56. Peach in the Luncheon Kingdom

Find Princess Peach on the balcony overlooking Peronza Plaza after finishing the game. Talk to her to get the moon.

Moon Rock Moons (57–68)

After breaking the Moon Rock located near the Odyssey, these final 12 moons will appear across the map. They are typically more difficult than the standard moons.

  • 57. From Inside a Bright Stone: Ground-pound a glowing rock near the entrance.
  • 58. Under the Meat Plateau: Found in the lava underneath the Meat Plateau; requires a Lava Bubble.
  • 59. On Top of a Tall, Tall Roof: Located on the highest point of the town's ruins.
  • 60. From a Crack in the Hard Ground: Ground-pound a crack near the Path to the Meat Plateau.
  • 61. By the Cannon Pointed at the Big Pot: Floating near the cannon at the Peak Climb.
  • 62. Luncheon Kingdom: Master Cup: Win the second, harder Koopa Freerunning race.
  • 63. Stepping Over the Gears: Found in a secret 8-bit area accessible via a moon pipe.
  • 64. Lanterns on the Gear Steps: Light all lanterns in the gear room.
  • 65. Volcano Cave Cruisin’: A difficult platforming challenge inside a new moon pipe area.
  • 66. Volcano Cave and Mysterious Clouds: Hidden in the same area as Moon 65, using hidden platforms.
  • 67. Treasure of the Lava Islands: Found in a new challenge area involving complex Lava Bubble jumps.
  • 68. Flying Over the Lava Islands: The second moon in the Moon 67 challenge area.

Collecting all these moons requires patience and a mastery of the kingdom's verticality. Whether you are aiming for the minimum required to power the Odyssey or going for the full 100% completion, the Luncheon Kingdom remains one of the most rewarding areas to master.
