use HD rumble to find hidden moons!!
hold still and feel for the controller vibrating -- it gets stronger as you walk closer to a buried moon, and even tells you left/right which direction to go!!
challenge rooms hide a second moon
almost every hat-door, 2D section, and warp pipe has a bonus moon hidden inside!! in 2D sections look for gaps in the frame edges where mario can slip out!!
spin cappy on glowing knobs
if you see a glowing lamp post or knob-shaped object, throw cappy and hold Y to keep spinning -- hold long enough and a moon pops out!!
idle mario to find captures
stand still and wait -- white ghost caps will appear floating above anything in the area that cappy can capture, including things you'd never think to try!!
let mario idle to spot cat art
pixel cat mario / cat peach are hidden on walls in some kingdoms -- throw cappy at them for coins + a heart. easy to miss if you don't stop to look!!
check in-game lists menu
press minus > Y on the map to open the lists menu -- shows exactly which moons you have and haven't collected per kingdom, way faster than guessing!!
important note:
moon counts are post-moon-rock totals!!
purple coins are kingdom-specific -- spend before leaving each one!!
dark side at 250 moons, darker side at 500!!
true 100% = all 880 moons + all purple coins + all 52 captures + all outfits + full music list!!
all 880 turns the sail gold and unlocks hard bowser -- and spinning cappy on peach's castle spire at 999 moons triggers a secret fireworks show!!
the campsite cycles through personalities and won't repeat until all same-personality villagers have shown -- remove villagers of that personality first to push your dreamie's odds way up!!
rare species = better NMT odds
octopus villagers are rare (only 3 exist!) so your odds of finding a specific one on a mystery island are way higher than finding a specific cat (23 cats!!) -- factor this into your hunting strategy!!
plan terraforming on happyislanddesigner.com
it uses the exact same grid as the game!! sketch out rivers and cliffs before committing -- undoing terraforming takes as long as building it!!
you can't terraform the beach or estuaries
the two spots where rivers meet the ocean are permanent!! factor them into your island layout before you start any major terraforming!!
use custom path designs for detail work
the custom design path permit lets you place any pattern on the ground -- great for adding cobblestone, grass textures, or themed flooring that the built-in paths can't do!!
mix personality types for more events
having varied personalities (not all peppy!!) means more unique dialogue, more gifts from villagers, and more special interactions -- aim for at least 5 different personality types!!
important note:
island names are max 10 characters including spaces!! "island" is added automatically so don't use it in the name!!
you can't rename your island after you start -- choose carefully!!
villager picks are vibe-based -- totally optional of course!!
