TheWooded Kingdom is a region featured inSuper Mario Odyssey, and can either be the fourth or the fifth location visited, depending on if the player selects to go here or to theLake Kingdom after leaving theSand Kingdom. It is the greater location ofSteam Gardens, a large forest area containing several iron structures. This area is also surrounded by large mountains, as well as ageodesic dome. The Steam Gardens is home to theSteam Gardeners, who water and grow flowers throughout the area, especially in theirSky Garden Tower andSecret Flower Field. This area is also home to their prizedSoirée Bouquet.
When Mario first visits this kingdom, theBroodals can be found invading the Sky Garden. After traversing through the Iron Road, Mario reaches the top of the Sky Garden Tower, where he encountersSpewart, one of the Broodals. Upon defeating him, Mario will be rewarded with aMulti Moon, which (when collected) causesTorkdrift to appear and wreak havoc in the Secret Flower Field. Mario must then traverse through the area (which is now overrun bySherms) and reach the entrance to the Secret Flower Field at the far northern reaches of the kingdom. Upon entering the Secret Flower Field, Mario will encounter Torkdrift, who is attempting to steal the flowers. If Mario can successfully defeat Torkdrift, he will be rewarded with another Multi Moon. Collecting this one will restore the Steam Gardens to its former glory, allowing the Steam Gardeners to continue growing flowers and allowing access to morePower Moons. Once Mario collects enough Power Moons, he can access the next kingdom - either the Lake Kingdom (if the player has not yet visited it) or theCloud Kingdom (if both the Lake and Wooded Kingdoms have been visited).
If Mario falls into thepit below the kingdom's southern region, he lands in theDeep Woods, a dark forest inhabited by aT-Rex. To escape, Mario must plant aseed dispensed by a blue Steam Gardener into one of the glowing pots to grow abeanstalk that leads back to the kingdom's mainland. Throughout the kingdom, there are also manynuts that can be broken to obtain a Power Moon.
This location is potentially based on theRedwood National and State Parks inCalifornia. The Steam Gardens' original name, Kogwald, is German for "Cog Woods", and the background features mountains that resemble the Alps. The location also vaguely resemblesCanada due to its dense forests and snowy mountains.
The Wooded Kingdom is located south of the Lake Kingdom, southeast of the Sand Kingdom, and southwest of the Cloud Kingdom. The landmass these kingdoms are all located on resembles Pangaea.

The Living Factory
No one knows who built the giant machines dotting this land, but today the Steam Gardeners use them to maintain the greatest flower gardens in the world. The giant dome is climate-controlled and apparently self-sufficient, operating with no maintenance since ancient times.
Guardians of Paradise
Visitors are welcomed not only by the humid air, but worker robots tending the flowers. They're known as Steam Gardeners, longtime residents of the kingdom. You'll be impressed at how long they can work without rest, maintaining themselves perfectly. But beyond being hard workers, the robots love flowers—some grow them right out of their heads! You'll feel the Steam Gardeners' warm hearts, from their flowers and also their internal steam pumps.
Flowers as a Way of Life
While you'll see amazing flowers on any visit, you might be lucky enough to see the famous Steam Gardens Soirée Bouquet. It features giant white flowers that charm all who lay eyes on it. As you might guess from the name, it's by far the most popular bouquet for wedding ceremonies, sought after by wedding planners the world over.
A Deep Wood's Secret
It doesn't appear on any tours, but there is an area untouched by the machines of the Steam Gardens. Here the trees grow quickly, barely allowing any light through. The Steam Gardeners do not speak of it, but rumor has it they discourage visiting this place because of the danger posed by thegiant creatures that call it home.
A Growing Walkway
Be sure to try the system of paths called the Flower Road. You'll marvel at plants growing into temporary but walkable bridges. Watch your step, though—nature has no handrails.
Birds NOT of a Feather
Local birds here seem remarkably fond of their mechanical neighbors.
Three Keys to the Kingdom
- Smell the flowers. Not that you can miss them, but do savor the scent.
- Admire the Steam Gardeners and their impressive devotion to their work.
- Appreciate machines and nature living in exquisite harmony.
