“I got a power line ALL the way to the pyramid!”

—Tostarenan,Super Mario Odyssey

TheInverted Pyramid is a location in theSand Kingdom inSuper Mario Odyssey. It is a hexagonal pyramid towering above the rest of the kingdom. As it is upside down, the entrance is at the tip. Despite the odd position, it does not fall over. It is a famous landmark that attracts tourists.

Layout and visitability[edit]

The Inverted Pyramid's entrance only opens toMario after completingMoon Shards in the Sand. The inside of the pyramid featuresBullet Bills, and an8-bit pipe that takes Mario into the wall. This section makes use ofgravity fields. From here, Mario can use a pipe to walk across a band of the exterior, which is also an 8-bit section withGoombas. After returning to the interior, Mario can leave a final gravity section and return to the third dimension. This last room has Bullet Bills,Hat Trampolines, and a big field of smallcacti right in front of the exit. The base at the top of the pyramid has aJaxi Stand and fiveJaxi Statues. There is a space for a final statue, but the statue is mysteriously absent. There is sand piled up by the space though. It is implied thatJaxi used to stand here. In the center of the area,Hariet is fought as part ofShowdown on the Inverted Pyramid.

After Hariet is defeated, the Inverted Pyramid floats into the air, allowing the player to enter a large hole revealed underneath. This leads into the objectiveThe Hole in the Desert, during which the Pyramid is inaccessible. After completing that, aTostarenan lets Mario use aHat Catapult to reach the entrance, and another Tostarean sets up a power line fromTostarena Town so that Mario can usespark pylons to reach the bottom. Another spark pylon allows Mario to travel to theMoe-Eye Habitat orTostarena Northwest Reaches, or go to the Inverted Pyramid from those locations.

Other appearances[edit]

The Inverted Pyramid reappears in theNintendo Switch andNintendo 3DS ports ofCaptain Toad: Treasure Tracker, in the levelSecret of the Inverted Pyramid. APull Switch is found on top of the pyramid, and causes it to float into the air when pulled. This version of the pyramid lacks the exterior 8-bit section and both entrances into the pyramid that the original has.

The Inverted Pyramid appears inThe Super Mario Bros. Movie in the scene whereMario,Toad, andPrincess Peach are traversing theSand Kingdom. It reappears inThe Super Mario Galaxy Movie as a location to which Mario and Luigi are called in order to investigate a cloggedWarp Pipe where they findYoshi inside.^[1] It is much closer toTostarena Town then it is in the game and is no longer floating.
