How many power moons are there?

According to the Prima Guide:

  • Cap Kingdom: 31 moons
  • Cascade Kingdom: 40
  • Sand Kingdom: 89
  • Lake Kingdom: 42
  • Wooded Kingdom: 76
  • Cloud Kingdom: 9
  • Lost Kingdom: 35
  • Metro Kingdom: 81
  • Snow Kingdom: 55
  • Seaside Kingdom: 71
  • Luncheon Kingdom: 68
  • Ruined Kingdom: 10
  • Bowser's Kingdom: 62
  • Moon Kingdom: 38
  • Mushroom Kingdom: 43 (becomes 104 for achievements)
  • Dark Side: 24
  • Darker Side: 1

The above adds up to 836.

NB: Multi-moons count as a single moon in these numbers, because it is based on the row in the map's list, which marks multi-moons as a single row with a "3" beside it.


Let's get more specific. There are far more moons available in many levels since there are multi-moons (counts as 3 power moons). Also most kingdoms have Crazy Cap stores so you can potentially get many more in that world. Here's a more detailed breakdown:
