MissionArrival at Rabbit Ridge!
Power Moons26 (23 regular, 1Multi Moon)

TheDark Side of theMoon is a secret kingdom inSuper Mario Odyssey, and is the greater location ofRabbit Ridge. It is served as the sixteenth kingdom overall in the game. It is reachable once the main game is completed and 250Power Moons have been obtained. Rabbit Ridge is the home of theBroodals, and is ruled over byMadame Broode. Due to her love of vegetables, many statues of vegetables can be found scattered around the kingdom, primarilyturnips. The largest one, however, is a carrot building namedRabbit Ridge Tower.

In Rabbit Ridge Tower, the Broodals challengeMario to a rematch, and he is able to fight them as many times as he wants. If Mario loses all his health, he respawns outside of Rabbit Ridge Tower. None of the progress through the battles is saved if this occurs. Outside the tower, many genericrabbits wearing top hats can be found; they can be neither spoken with norcaptured. Noregional coins exist in this kingdom, and as with theMoon Kingdom andDarker Side, Mario experiences lightergravity. This includes the interior of Rabbit Ridge Tower, but excludes the bonus areas.

Once the player completes the sole objective of the Dark Side,Arrival at Rabbit Ridge!, theToad Brigade starts exploring this section of the Moon.

A Tasty-Looking Tower

This ostentatious stone tower was carved at the direction of the vegetable-lovingMadame Broode, who lords over Rabbit Ridge.

Her underlings, the Broodals, live within and always have a warm "welcome" for visitors.

Topper, Client Relations

Responsible for client relations on behalf of the Broodals' wedding-planning firm, Topper is usually found on-site, troubleshooting.

You can tell how serious he is about a battle by the number of hats he has stacked on his head: he doesn't tap into his full hat reserves except for the most dangerous opponents. So if you square off with him and he seems to be mostly hat, you should feel honored...and afraid.

Best hat-handler on the team.

Rango, the Bouncer

He's not the most focused, but Rango is a valuable player on the Broodals team, always coming through in the end. A master of his boomeranging trampoline hat, he can throw it both straight and curved with almost unnatural control over the way it flies. On the other hand, he sometimes zones out a bit and looks confused. That's your chance to counterattack!

It's best not to get her mad.

Hariet, Pyrotechnics

The least predictable of the Broodals, Hariet is most often found throwing bombs with her hair. When her homemade bombs explode, they leave a pool of fire on the ground, so try knocking them away before they explode. While it may seem reckless to have filled her hat with bombs, Hariet is devious and keeps a lot of spare explosives with her, so watch out!

Is the vulgarity all an act?

Spewart, the Entertainer

Spinning around while spitting poison in a wide area, Spewart is the least subtle of the Broodals. But he also has an unexpectedly artistic side, as his poisonous ground-paintings show.

One Last Door

For those travelers who survive the "hospitality" of the Broodals,a new challenge may await...

Three Keys to the Kingdom

  1. Watch out for the moon's light gravity; you can still die falling off a cliff.
  2. Investigate behind all those stone-carved vegetables.
  3. Greet all FOUR of the keys to this kingdom. You know who they are.

Notes[edit]

  • The Dark Side, and the fact that the Broodals hail from the Moon, is likely a homage to the Japanese, folkloric belief that arabbit lives on the moon.
  • Despite the fact that Madame Broode rules over the Rabbit Ridge, she is never seen here.
  • Rosalina makes a cameo appearance as an 8-bit sprite behind one of the statues outside Rabbit Ridge Tower.
  • Along with theCap Kingdom, this kingdom contains no 8-bit segments.
