FAQ
How many purple coins are in Moon Kingdom?
Moon Kingdom has 50 regional coins. This route covers every coin exactly once across 15 clusters.
What do Moon Kingdom purple coins look like?
They are star-bit-shaped purple regional coins used in this kingdom’s Crazy Cap shop.
Should I finish the story before collecting every coin?
Return after completing Bowser's Moon Wedding. The checkpoints remain active and the full cavern route can be cleaned up without interrupting the story sequence.
Which Moon Kingdom purple coins are easiest to miss?
The most common misses are the chest ledge near Ringing-Bells Plateau, the six coins at Quiet Wall, the Parabones bridge underside and the invisible-floor switch route.
Which captures are needed in Underground Moon Caverns?
Keep a Sherm for the pillar, a Parabones for the bridge underside and a Tropical Wiggler for the fenced moving platform. A Banzai Bill route leads to another set.
Do I need all purple coins to finish Super Mario Odyssey?
No. Regional coins are optional, but collecting all of them lets you buy every kingdom-specific Crazy Cap item.
Do Moon Kingdom purple coins respawn?
No. Every regional coin remains collected on that save file and permanently increases the kingdom counter.
