My speculation:
-We've seen all the Kingdoms already.
-Forgotten Isle isn't kingdom, it's just an island.
-Lava level is actually on the moon.

Yes, I keep forgetting DK is part of the Mario World...

I don't think they want to take any attention away from Mario. Mid November I expect to start hearing about Zelda DLC and Xeno.

Sarasaland is technically made up of 4 kingdoms-- The Birabuto Kingdom, the Muda Kingdom, the Easton Kingdom, and the Chai Kingdom. Would've been cool to see the Chai Kingdom in Odyssey.

Subcon from Mario Bros 2 USA
University of Goom from Paper Mario:TTYD
Waffle Kingdom, who wouldn't want to visit Jazzafraz Town, the Strudel Continent, from Paper Mario: TTYD
Flipside/Flopside and the Whoa Zone from Super Paper Mario
Diamond City from Warioware
Feudal Japan from Odama with pinball obstacles and giant spider heads
Ualeh, where KKDU an alien from a German Club Nintendo comic was from
Deepest lore
this sounds desperate
Like "not only is the world on the moon still happening, there's going to be an ocean of lava on the moon".

Im failing to see the Odama/Mario connection. If Mario is just going to any place that ever graced a Nintendo console he needs to check out Shadow Moses.https://www.mariowiki.com/List_of_implied_locations

Beanbean Kingdom, isle Delfino, and Mario Land in one game would be enough to launch it to GOAT mario status instantly
Id also totally take Diamond City or Rogueport!!! Itd be hard to navigate, but a big cluster of planetoids as a space kingdom or something. Shit throw in some Shroobs while youre up there!
Well when you time travel to Kyoto c. 2000, striking the Nintendo headquarters provides the inspiration for GBA masterpiece
/s
Shadow Moses would be great though, imagine guards walking up to Mario capturing a box and saying "It's just a box...with a mustache"

I won't believe we won't have a kingdom with Boo's.
Or Dinosaur Land, Yoshi's Island, Mario Land, Sarasaland, and Mushroom World.

Maybe it's in the moon because in real life, the moon's core is hot and has molten iron. Plus it thematically fits the "lava is the final level" that's been in every Mario game.

Pure speculation, but some people are suspecting 15 kingdoms in the game based on how much space the Odyssey has for stickers.
If true, that means there are five more kingdoms left undiscovered. One is certainly the moon, so that's four completely unknown kingdoms. I'm convinced there is some sort of Japan-inspired kingdom. Miyamoto wore a shirt with a samurai Mario on it last year when promoting Super Mario Run. There is the obvious Ran/Run pun, but it seems like a lot of work to model this JUST for a pun and a shirt Miyamoto wears twice. Trinen also hinted the shirt had a secret, and this was way before we know about the travel theme.
If that costume is in the game I will wear nothing else unless I specifically have to for a mission.

Wouldn't it make more sense to remake 64 as its own game?

I hope the game includes 'Special Kingdom' hidden from the map and accessible by finding some alternate map exit or something. That would be so cool. Like how star road tied the different world's together in SMW.
The land that this video assumes is the lava world is Sand Kingdom. It's shaped like a bunch of the gemstones that Sand Kingdom is famous for.
Well, they're on the same continent. Metro Kingdom is on the same landmass as well.
It's more apparent on the in-game globe. I went down to Best Buy and made this video:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eFF1ZbiJ0Jc
The globe is topographical and each kingdom has unique topography. Luncheon has pink ground and is rather small. The bat wing is green and dark. You can see the individual gemstones that comprise Sand Kingdom. Lake Kingdom is very white and Wooded Kingdom is green. Forgotten Isle's islands are surrounded by poison water but it's hard to see on my capture. The Southeastern area of Metro Kingdom appears to be dry. Mushroom Kingdom is colored like a 1UP Mushroom, which is funny since those don't exist in this game. The island that's sorta shaped like a flame appears to be covered in clouds/smoke. Isle Delfino is not visible, but it could just be small.

I like this. Peach and her castle are the curators of the post-game.
I do wonder whether moon will be pre or post game. It could very well be the champion's road equivalent.
My thoughts are that it will turn out that the Broodals are using the wedding thing to manipulate Bowser and the final boss will be some kind of rabbit moon goddess.
Ive been thinking...why does every Kingdom have a name and a sublocale (e.g., Metro Kingdom - New Donk City), if there is only one sublocale per Kingdom? Im starting to think maybe there lies the postgame a secondary location in each Kingdom with some tougher challenges or something. Supporting this theory possibly there was an area shown off during the NWC with a yellow moon, but we couldnt see the Regional Coin maybe an alternate location in either Tropical Kingdom or Cascade Kingdom? It looked comparatively challenging compared to what weve seen in the game so far.
That was a sub level in Forgotten Isle. Forgotten Isle's moons are dark yellow and the ruins motiff of that sub level fits Forgotten Isle's theme.
Sub levels don't have to fit their kingdom, though. There's a sub level in New Donk City where you go into a sewer and end up in a starry void. And there are sublevels like these across the world:
This one is in Bubblaine, Seaside Kingdom.
Cap - Hat Coins
Cascade - Wheel Coins
Sand - Pyramid Coins
Metro - Pauline Coins
Wooded - Bolt Coins
Seaside - Shell Coins
Snow - Snowflake Coins
Luncheon - Polygonal Tomato Coins
Tropical (?) - Leaf Coins
Lake Kingdom - ?
Mushroom Kingdom - ?
Thats at least 11 Kingdoms.

Ah, thanks for clearing that up! For some reason I recall there being some NWC gameplay where the HUD didnt show Local Coins, so I thought there was a secret hiding there.

I'd think it's almost a guarantee that the coins in the Mushroom Kingdom will be mushrooms. I mean what else could they be?
The HUD didn't show local coins, but the moon was Forgotten Isle color. It was a rocketship level. They probably just hid the coins cuz they haven't officially revealed Forgotten Isle yet.
I wonder if Luigi is going to be playable in this game. The last Mario platformer released where you couldn't pick him was Sunshine. It might be too much effort to remodel all the costumes to suit his stature, as well as putting a Luigi hat on all the capturable enemies. Perhaps he only appears in special stages and without Cappy. Or maybe you can capture him at some point and control him. I'm curious to see how Luigi looks like with two mustaches.
Functionally, the 100 coin moon can serve as both. It doesn't replace any other moon in the kingdom, but since your advancement is based on number of moons, you can choose to pay for one if you don't feel like searching for another. If you're just trying to collect every moon, it means searching for/already having 100 coins in your pocket to collect each store-bought moon.
Yeah, that's what I was wondering. Thanks!

Are people still saying that there's no more kingdoms than those listed?
Forgotten Isle is almost 100% a kingdom, so if there's one more held back, then that means that there could be even more unlisted.
1. They outright showed off a bunch of kingdoms then said "But we don't want to show you too much," then had footage of the purple water area in the September Direct. It's worth noting you see the Odyssey in the footage (aka mario landed there, so it is NOT a subzone). I think the implication is clear if you watch when the footage is shown in relation to the statement made.
2. You also see the sticker on the Odyssey in other footage.
3. I'm more iffy on this one but I think we have seen it's purple coins? could be wrong.
It may not be a "kingdom" because there's no inhabitants, possibly. Or it will get a kingdom name later.
I guess it doesn't matter, the game is out so soon, but I don't want people turned off thinking there's a lack of content.
