- “It's the views that make Seaside Kingdom so special.”
- —Bubblainian,Super Mario Odyssey
TheSeaside Kingdom is a beach kingdom that appears inSuper Mario Odyssey, being either the ninth or tenth kingdom visited, depending on whether the player chooses to go here or to theSnow Kingdom after leaving theMetro Kingdom. It is the greater location ofBubblaine, a cliffside beach resort area. As evidenced by thelocal inhabitants being beret-clad snails, the boss having a French name, and two of the missions having a French title, the location is inspired byFrance, most likely theCôte d'Azur, also known as the French Riviera. WhenMario first arrives,Mollusque-Lanceur is sitting on top of the Glass Tower drinking all of theSparkle Water, and the fountains are corked. To restore peace to the kingdom, Mario must uncork the fountains and defeat Mollusque-Lanceur.
It is daytime during Mollusque-Lanceur's attack on the kingdom. Once he is defeated, the time of day changes to dusk for the rest of the game.
Concept and creation[edit]
Bubblaine was conceived as an elegant resort following the basic theme of golden champagne.[1] According to the concept art, a blue-coloredDorrie not wearing any hat nor goggles was supposed to be found swimming there.

Raise a Glass
The spectacle known as Glass Tower isn't just majestic, it also fulfills the critical role of manufacturing the famous local productSparkle Water.
It stands atop the Glass Palace, which has a uniquely beautiful architectural style. It's a treasure to be explored!
A Miraculous Mixture
The four fountains in Bubblaine spray seawater toward the Glass Tower. The ocean here is carbonated but otherwise unremarkable. However, when blended in the Glass Tower, it takes on a deep, elegant flavor and becomes Sparkle Water!
This treasured beverage is said to bring good fortune, happiness, and even romance to those who drink it, which has led to it being featured in many wedding ceremonies.
A Love Nest for Eels
In addition to the fun resort spots found in Bubblaine, there are some notable dangerous locations as well. One of these is the underwater cave connected to the lighthouse where gigantic creatures calledMaw-Rays make their nests and shoot out their long bodies in response to stimuli. A little caution can go a long way when exploring this place.
Nature's Hot Tub
A ways away from the beach sits an outdoor bath fed by a natural hot spring. Featuring full ocean views, it has become quite popular with tourists. This spring was formed by volcanic activity on the ocean floor, and it's said to have numerous medicinal effects. Take one dip, and we're sure you'll fall for its charms. It's also a lovely natural reprieve from the modern resort developments.
Relaxing Competition
When in Bubblaine, be sure to enjoy a game ofbeach volleyball on the local court.The on-site coach gives strong guidance, even for beginners. As they say around here, "Let's play!"
Nature's Fire Hoses
These unusual creatures collect seawater constantly. They use this water both to defend themselves and to propel themselves, sometimes straight up!
Three Keys to the Kingdom
- Gasp at the sight of all four fountains spraying into the Glass Tower.
- Refresh yourself with the fizzy delights of Bubblainian seawater.
- Play in the action-packed Beach Volleyball tournaments.
