History[edit]

This article is astub. Please considerexpanding it to include any missing information.Specifics: Where does it show up specifically in these games? What about Mini Goombas? What Power Moons are found under glowing spots? How does rumble work?

Super Mario 3D World /Super Mario 3D World + Bowser's Fury[edit]

Glowing spots first appear inSuper Mario 3D World and can be ground-pounded to reveal items. Glowing spots return inSuper Mario 3D World + Bowser's Fury, serving the same purpose; in addition, glowing spots can be found on the tops oflighthouses in theBowser's Fury campaign.

Glowing spots appear inSuper Mario Odyssey in most of the kingdoms as beams of light on the ground. When glowing spots are ground-pounded, various objects can appear, such asPower Moons,Mini Goombas, or a ring ofcoins.

In theSand Kingdom,Seaside Kingdom,Metro Kingdom,Moon Kingdom, andMushroom Kingdom, adog appears, and it can dig in certain places to reveal glowing spots; ground-pounding on them yields either coins or Power Moons.
