Darker Side — Mario Odyssey Guessing Guide

Culmina Crater, the Darker Side, is the game's final challenge: a single long line of floating platforms above nothing.

How to recognise Darker Side in a screenshot

  • Black void with faint stars
  • Isolated square platforms
  • No enemies in the wide shots
  • Deep blue and violet lighting

Landmarks worth memorising

  • The Long Journey's End
  • Capture gauntlet platforms
  • The starting arch

Map tip for a tighter pin

Progress along the gauntlet is your only clue — the further the platforms shrink into the distance, the earlier you are.
