| Effect | Grants the player threePower Moons |
Multi Moons are collectable items inSuper Mario Odyssey. Each Multi Moon is threePower Moons stuck together, with metallic borders, a metal coating over the round ends, and a crown floating over the set. One is as powerful as three Power Moons. Equivalent to theGrand Stars inSuper Mario Galaxy andSuper Mario Galaxy 2, Multi Moons are usually collected after the player completes anobjective with a boss (with the exception ofBowser). A rare few objectives without bosses conclude with a Multi Moon. Additionally, the boss rematches in theMushroom Kingdom grant Multi Moons. Multi Moons count as three Power Moons when powering up theOdyssey, although they are counted only as one on the Power Moon List. Multi Moons have the same colors as the Power Moons in the kingdom in which they are found.
Collecting a Multi Moon plays a cutscene; Multi Moon cutscenes are longer than the ones for both Power Moons and Power Moons tied to objectives. At the conclusion of the cutscene,Mario andCappy fly out of the area with the Multi Moon. In most cases, it takes them back to the Odyssey. The boss rematches, however, just have the two exit thepainting they were inside. This warp is normally the only way to leave after unlocking a Multi Moon. Most boss fights continue to be surrounded by the barrier, and the ones that do not have either walls or apit so Mario cannot walk away.
Multi Moons normally cannot be recollected. Bosses do not reappear inSuper Mario Odyssey, so they are unable to re-drop their Power Moons. The characters who give Multi Moons also do not repeat the relevant sequence. However, a number of post-game areas are special exceptions. Since the fights with bosses in the Mushroom Kingdom and withRoboBrood on theDark Side can be repeated, they have to drop Multi Moons for the player to leave. The Multi Moon fromLong Journey's End on theDarker Side also can be recollected. These Moons appear translucent as with normal Power Moons, but the cutscene for collecting them still plays. Following the version 1.2.0 update, the Multi Moon no longer appears on the final still of that cutscene. Unlike Power Moons, Multi Moons that are recollected are worth zero coins.
The bossesMadame Broode andKnucklotec have Multi Moons in their design. Madame Broode wears hers as a pendant, and Knucklotec has one in its headwear.

Colors[edit]
Multi Moons feature a different color depending on the kingdom in which they are found. Their color also matches the color of the kingdom's Power Moons and the pole of the kingdom'sCheckpoint Flag. Like Power Moons, after they are collected, they lose their color and appear translucent the next time they are collected. Unlike the regular Power Moons in the Mushroom Kingdom, the Multi Moons in that kingdom (during the bosses' rematches) are not shaped likePower Stars. No Multi Moons are obtainable in theMoon Kingdom, so while Mario can find white Power Moons there, he can never obtain a white Multi Moon.
