Completing the main storyline of Super Mario Odyssey frees Princess Peach from her impending wedding, but her adventure does not end there. Instead of returning straight to the Mushroom Kingdom, she decides to explore the worlds you just saved. Tracking her down across these environments rewards you with unique dialogue and coveted Power Moons.
Prerequisites for Finding the Princess
Before you can locate Princess Peach in the wild, you must successfully complete the main campaign and defeat Bowser in the Moon Kingdom. Once the credits roll, speak to the Toad near the Odyssey to trigger her worldwide vacation itinerary. This ensures she properly spawns in her designated spots across the various kingdoms.
When you arrive back in the Steam Gardens, the layout can initially feel overwhelming due to its multi-layered design. Finding her requires exploring the elevated structures rather than the deep, foggy forest floors. Navigating to the correct observation deck reveals her standing alongside her companion, Tiara.
Navigating to the Observation Deck
To reach her specific location, warp directly to the Secret Flower Field Entrance checkpoint flag. From this point, look around the immediate area to locate a nearby target for your capture ability. You need to take control of an Uproot creature to gain the necessary vertical reach.
Extend the Uproot legs fully to climb up the metal platforms situated near the edge of the zone. Follow the path leading toward the outer wall where a small group of robots are gathered. Princess Peach stands on the metallic overlook platform, gazing out at the vast scenery below.
Claiming Your Power Moon Reward
Approaching Princess Peach triggers a charming conversation where she shares her thoughts on the local flora and unique mechanical residents. At the end of her dialogue, she will hand over a special collectible token. This item is officially registered as Power Moon number 54 for this specific region.
If you need assistance finding other hidden collectibles in this zone, checking can provide excellent strategies. Gathering these tokens is essential for fully upgrading your ship and unlocking additional post-game challenges. Once you finish speaking with her, she will move on to her next vacation destination.
