I think, though I'm not 100% sure, that you can get all the coloured coins during the first playthrough.
Having the Bowser amiibo has helped me a LOT to find them.

Ended up being my favourite level of the lot. The number of ways you can get around from building to building is staggering, and becoming familiar with the layout slowly over time is one of the most satisfying moments in games this year. For me, anyway - I love how the game has no minimap.

Finally completed the whole game. Must have died like 30 times on the last level
What to do now?

They've just never played 3D Mario before. Everyone else knows this has been how these games work for about a decade or so?
Put my review up, this game is excellent. A nice change of pace grom how grim and depressing gaming can be lately. Also great in co-op.

You got every moon? Jesus. Do you ever sleep?

Damn, so those last 3 are not in the same place as the Moon in the skyscraper? Shit.

You only need like 560 moons right? Does it even matter if you get more?

You can also spin the analogue stick and then press Y after Mario twirls, works every time.
Other moves work if you mess about with the buttons. Like the stretching bug creature can stretch further without a Joy-Con shake, hold B to stretch, then hold B as well.

500 to unlock the last kingdom, but
you can still unlock more buyable items at the coin shop for getting more moons beyond that

I've found a small extra move that mario can do- it's not very useful, but if you press jump right as cappy returns to his head after a throw you can do a little spin hop for a tiny bit of extra height and distance.
Could be applied to extend throw > dive > throw > dive combos, speedrun tech maybe?
It also works on the ground, but more or less acts like a regular jump.
Stop now before you spend all your money.

There is no limit, it's to ease the post-game grind to 500 moons. Only one per world counts toward progression.

I've only been to two kingdoms so far, excluding Cappy's, and I am elated. The moment the music kicked in in Cascade Kingdom, I know this is going to be one hell of a ride. I really wish it had more control options, as I mostly play it on handheld mode. Still, can perform well without the complex movesets.

Still thats no excuse for an underwhelming (in terms of diff) main plot.something should change at least 64 had higher difficulty if you were to get 60 stars.
Galaxy 2 was better as well i think something should change
There's 800 moons altogether isn't there? I just assumed you'd found every one if you say you've finished it.

It's the best 3D platformer level ever made.

The number of times Ive geeked already must be reaching double digits, but New Donk City small spoilers:
the street names being names from Donkey Kong County (Cranky, Rambi, Krool, etc.) made me almost lose my mind
Nope, we were just talking about this above, I think it's endless and just a way of ranking up your moon count if you want to speed up the process.

Mot just the street names, and not just

Ah, I see. Well now I feel like I cheated a bit! But no biggie. I guess it's just a grindy way to let everybody see all the moon unlocks even if they're having trouble completing challenges.

Im really not enjoying this game too much and I cant place why. Ive loved every other mainline Mario game.
It seems like you cant perform about half of the cap controls if you disable motion controls for the pro controller, is that right or am I missing something? It seems like half of the buttons are duplicated in the controls, so Im not sure why they couldnt spread the moves out across more buttons.

Fuck! Oh well you live and learn.
Not particularly annoyed by it just wish it was cleared on that.

While I've basically gotten 95% of its moons it's basically the 'hub world' for me, a place to come back to and mess about in to my heart's content.
That's the beauty of Odyssey, sure, you might want more challenge but you can always find more creative solutions to accomplishing everything. It's definitely channelling the spirit of 64 in that respect. And compared with 64, the objectives are a lot more creative. In retrospect 64 has rather dull objectives (beat the bully. get the 8 red coins. find the mountaintop secret) but the journey to accomplishing them was always varied and required problem solving via the mechanics. Odyssey definitely goes the extra mile in the variety of its objectives, though it's worth noting that more of them are short-form challenges, whereas 64 had a lot more long-form challenges (e.g. the red coins were always dotted around the entire world rather than a single area). Same goes for Sunshine - there's nothing in Odyssey that's like Yoshi's Fruit Adventure, for instance.
Yeah, infact are just as reprehensible, those images can ruin peoples lives if browsing from work, any poster that does the above is a piece of shit. Fuck off Zarro, only point your making is that its you who's harming others and should be blocked from all forums.

5 moons away from the final world, the excitement. Does anyone else feel a bit bad about
Clearing out the wooded kingdom was super fun, though there are still a few moons that Talkatoo doesn't seem to know about. Guess I'll be coming back again later.
Because if it gets a GAF reader fired or otherwise in serious trouble, they will consider it a victory. True colours are being shown.
buying extra moons? I know it's not actively removing them from the rest of the game but I feel like it'd cheat me out of a certain sense of accomplishment.

Funny thing is that these are the people that'll help build the other forum ....

It's truly messed up. You're messing with people's jobs.
Honestly, we don't know really. Lots of good and reputable people in the other forum. I do hope these porn posters are banned from joining it, but many are using junior alts, so hard to tell.

Eyyy
You can't get them all on your first visit, but there are no "activate thing in world A to change something in world B" situations as far as I've seen.
No some of them you will have to come back for.
for example teleporting by a painting

Does not compute. Not going for all the moons is error.

I have 562 moons
There's no point in continuing since you dont get anything if you get all the moons. 560 is the max you need to unlock all the content in the game

First Bowser Boss fight was incredibly fun. I wouldn't call this game difficult, I would call it fun.
People think a game has to have a certain level of difficulty to be fun which is not the case. Boss fights don't have to be hard to be a boss fight. I rather a boss fight be creative, fun, and intuitive, that's not saying there's no challenge. There definitely is challenge.
But then again, we always have that lot of people who are super surprised a Mario game is easy. Yes, they're easy, but that's not its goal. It's goal is to be creative and fun with a slight to moderate challenge.
I would also like if people put spoiler tags on Moon count, post game additions, and mid to late content. I believe there is a spoiler thread.

I get where you're coming from, but I think the point of continuing beyond that point is that a person finds fully exploring the levels actually fun?

You do; once when collecting all available moons in the kingdoms something happens, then once again when you hit 999. Nothing major, but still cool.
