1. Darker Side Power Moons – Super Mario Odyssey

These ultra-secret moons appear once the game is completed. Some require extreme precision, such as jumping to invisible platforms. They represent the title's ultimate exploration challenge.

2. Green Stars – Super Mario Galaxy 2

Unlocked after the first credits, these stars are often suspended in mid-air or visible for only a few seconds. They demand perfect mastery of 3D platforming mechanics.

🚀 Discover their exact location in our article Secrets of the Green Stars.

3. Jumpman Badge – Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door

This rare badge increases the power of Mario's Jump attacks but disables his Hammer attacks. It can be bought from Charlieton or (very rarely) won in battle.

4. Golden Mushroom – Mario Kart

An exceptional race item offering an unlimited turbo boost for a few seconds. It only appears in certain positions and installments (Mario Kart Wii, Mario Kart Tour, etc.).

🏁 Prepare for pole position with our official Mario Kart T-shirt!

5. Skeleton Mario Costume – Super Mario Odyssey

Unlocked after collecting 9,999 coins. It completely transforms Mario's appearance into a skeleton version, a testament to a long and meticulous collection.

6. Secret Worlds – New Super Mario Bros. & Super Mario World

The Mushroom, Flower, and Star Worlds (NSMB) or the 96 exits in Super Mario World require 100% completion of the game and finding well-hidden alternate exits.

7. Invisible Mario – Super Mario 3D World

The Double Cherry creates clones of Mario that mimic his movements. Various cloning glitches have been reported by players, but no "invisible Mario" bug has been officially documented in connection with it.

8. 121 Star Reward (Luigi) – Super Mario Galaxy

Finish the game with Mario, then replay it entirely with Luigi. After obtaining all 121 stars with both brothers, the Grand Finale Galaxy unlocks in the gardens of Peach's Castle and offers a souvenir image as a reward.

9. Musical Moons – Super Mario Odyssey

These moons are obtained by activating a sequence of notes under time pressure or through sound puzzles. They are among the least intuitive collectibles in the game.

10. Hidden Badges – Paper Mario (series)

Badges like All or Nothing or Power Plus drastically change the outcome of battles. Their locations require in-depth exploration and often the solution of puzzles.
