Bonneton, Cap Kingdom
1	"I'm Your Hat Now, Bitch!"	000	23:06	Lindsay	Rick, John	30 October 2017 (2017-10-30)
The group watch the opening cutscenes of the game, in which Mario is defeated by Bowser and knocked off his airship. Mario wakes up in the Cap Kingdom and teams up with Cappy, giving him the ability to use his hat for a number of different purposes. Taking control of the game, Lindsay explores the area and gets used to the controls and abilities before heading to Top-Hat Tower, inside which is an ice cave with some frogs. After "capturing" one of the frogs with Cappy, she uses it to jump high enough to reach the top of the area, then heads through the door back outside. At the top of the tower, she faces one of the Broodals in a boss fight. Upon defeating him, the way forward is unlocked, allowing her to move on to the Cascade Kingdom.
Fossil Falls, Cascade Kingdom
2	"You Got a Banana!"	003	17:51	Lindsay	Rick, John	31 October 2017 (2017-10-31)
Lindsay enters the Cascade Kingdom, exploring some of the area and eventually taking control of a Chain Chomp in order to knock down some rubble hiding the game's first Power Moon. A little further on, she encounters the Odyssey, a broken-down airship that needs five Power Moons in order to run. The group are excited to encounter a dinosaur, which Lindsay takes control of to destroy some more barricades, one of which reveals another Power Moon. Further on in the area, she finds a few hidden purple coins and other things, followed by an 8-bit section attached to the wall. By heading to the left and wrapping around the wall, Lindsay discovers a secret area containing a third Power Moon.
Tostarena, Sand Kingdom
3	"That Looks Broodal"	009	19:19	Lindsay	Rick, John	1 November 2017 (2017-11-01)
Lindsay reaches the boss of the Cascade Kingdom, a member of the Broodals who attacks with a Chain Chomp. By capturing the Chain Chomp and launching it into her, she is able to defeat the boss and obtain a Multi Moon. Returning to the Odyssey, she uses the Moons she has obtained to power up the ship, allowing it to take off and transport her to the Sand Kingdom. While there, she investigates the local shop, buying a Power Moon and an Employee Uniform. Outside, she finds another Moon on top of one of the buildings, then heads to an underground room where she finds one more in a minigame based on following the vibration of the controller. She heads back outside and gets a hint about the location of another Power Moon from a talking parrot.
4	"Good Identification of a Hole"	013	17:02	Lindsay	Rick, John	2 November 2017 (2017-11-02)
Lindsay heads towards the tower where the next story-based Power Moon is located, but quickly becomes distracted with other areas. While exploring, she picks up a Moon by capturing a Bullet Bill and flying over to it, as well as another one hidden inside a destructible block. Moving further up the tower, she passes through an 8-bit area and finds another Power Moon inside a wooden crate. After falling into a poison lake and dying while trying to reach another platform with the Bullet Bill, she returns to where she was before and continues climbing, eventually reaching the top of the tower and obtaining the Power Moon.
5	"The Watermelon Rebound"	020	26:48	Lindsay, John	Rick	3 November 2017 (2017-11-03)
Lindsay continues onward to an area with several moving platforms, which requires carefully timed jumps over beams that can damage Mario. After she responds to this threat by panicking and jumping off to her death several times, John takes over. He gets past the platform section to a new area, where he captures a "Moe-Eye" and uses it to view invisible paths. He collects five Moon Shards, which unlock a Power Moon. He then enters an indoor area involving capturing Bullet Bills, which he fails at many times, before eventually getting to the end and obtaining the Power Moon. He finds another Moon outside in the desert, buried under the sand, then enters the Inverted Pyramid. The pyramid contains 8-bit segments with alternating gravity; John finds another Power Moon hidden to the side here. Eventually, he reaches the roof and defeats another member of the Broodals in a boss fight, being rewarded with a Multi Moon.

Inside is a Tostarena party, where Mario is rewarded with a Power Moon. Outside, he finds that a golden seed he planted earlier has grown, giving him another Power Moon. He grabs a third Moon that was on top of an archway, before exploring the surrounding area some more. He eventually comes back to town, where he wins a Moon by playing a game of slots. He then goes to get another Moon from the ruins, and even searches the area to try and find a place where John missed a path earlier, only to realize he can't access it currently. He then decides to head towards the objective, jumping into the mysterious hole in the desert.

During this, John returns, celebrating his birthday. At the end of the area, Rick encounters a boss, Knucklotec. He defeats the boss and is rewarded with a Multi Moon, then returned to the surface. He briefly investigates the game's amiibo functionality, then finds a Power Moon hidden in the back of the shop. Exploring the area some more, Rick finds an entrance to a secret platforming challenge area, which he manages to reach the end of, picking up a Power Moon as a reward.
8	"Did You Guys All Have Butts?"	036	15:08	Rick, Lindsay	John, Ben	8 November 2017 (2017-11-08)
While trying and failing to catch a bird carrying a Power Moon, Rick finds an oasis in the desert. He obtains a Power Moon by completing a music note-collecting challenge, and another one that he finds buried under the sand. He returns to exploring the desert shortly before noticing another bird and chasing it, falling into a poison lake in his attempts to catch it. He returns to the lake and manages to successfully grab the Power Moon, then finds a second one after completing a timed parkour challenge. He returns to the Underground Temple to pick up the Moon he missed the first time, then hands over to Lindsay. She finds a painting which leads to a secret area of the Metro Kingdom, earning her another Moon. There is no way to reach the rest of the Kingdom, so she heads back to the Desert Kingdom, and then back to the Odyssey to set off for a new area. Given the choice between the Lake Kingdom and the Wooded Kingdom, she chooses the latter.

Further in the area, she enters a pipe leading to a challenge area filled with Fuzzy enemies, in which she finds two Power Moons. Back outside, she finds a plant-like enemy which can be captured. It has the ability to extend its legs vertically, opening up access to a lot of different places. Exploring some more, Lindsay finds another Moon, and then a challenge room where Mario must fight a Fire Bro without the use of his cap. After defeating him, she is rewarded with yet another Power Moon.

After dying to one of the plant enemies, Lindsay makes her way back to where she was before and continues through the area, grabbing two Power Moons along the way. This unlocks a new section of the Wooded Kingdom, featuring a number of platforming challenges. Lindsay finds these difficult, and falls down bottomless pits multiple times. She finds a third Power Moon and enters an interior area, but soon gives up and hands the control over to John, who climbs the tower, gets another Power Moon, and heads outside to face a boss battle against one of the Broodals. He fails on his first attempt, but succeeds on the second, obtaining a Multi Moon as a reward.

He obtains another Power Moon by impressing a female Goomba, then attempts to kill a stack of Goombas with a Ground Pound, but fails and is killed by them instead. Further into the area, he uses a tank to shoot out part of a wall to climb up, uncovering another Moon as he does so. After dying again while trying to complete a parkour segment, John heads up to the top of the area, where he reaches a cannon that needs to be destroyed by shooting at it with the tank. After doing so, he obtains another Power Moon, and unlocks the next area.

He is rewarded with a Multi Moon, then sent back to the beginning of the area. Lindsay directs him to a secret area accessed by jumping down what appears to be a bottomless pit. While there, he finds two Power Moons hidden under the ground, and obtains another one from a timed challenge. He explores the rest of the area by capturing a nearby dinosaur, but ultimately finds nothing else he can access there yet and leaves, emerging in a different part of the Wooded Kingdom.
13	"Lounging in His Undies"	062	16:56	John	Rick, Ben, Lindsay	15 November 2017 (2017-11-15)
After buying the explorer outfit, John returns to the Deep Woods and uses the outfit to get through a door, behind which is a Power Moon. He then enters a pipe maze which requires he guess the correct path; after many incorrect guesses, he reaches another Moon, then leaves the Deep Woods. Having been informed that warping between checkpoints is possible in the game, John uses this feature to head back to the Odyssey, then buys the Boxer Shorts from the shop. He powers up the Odyssey using his newfound Power Moons, then sets off for the Lake Kingdom. There, he begins to explore the new area, earning a Power Moon from a note-collecting challenge and unlocking the path to the Water Plaza.

He then enters a secret challenge area based on capturing zippers and using them to progress. He finds the first Power Moon there relatively easily, then dies several times attempting a long jump before realizing there are invisible coin blocks that allow him to reach the second Moon. He returns to the underwater area and grabs one more shard, before heading to the surface and investigating a painting. It transports him to an isolated platform in the Luncheon Kingdom, an area which Lindsay demands to play when the group reach it properly. John grabs the nearby Power Moon, then heads back through the painting.

He enters the shop and buys a Moon along with some other items. He enters an 8-bit area where he earns a Moon by completing a note-collecting challenge, then decides to continue on with the story. He obtains another Moon along the way, then enters a challenge area which requires several precise movements to avoid Fuzzies while climbing along walls. John fails at this area many times, before eventually reaching the end and grabbing the Moon.
16	"Kelp Me"	083	27:19	John, Lindsay, Rick	Ben	20 November 2017 (2017-11-20)

Rick takes over and decides to explore the area some more, finding another Moon under the sand, as well as the remaining purple coins in the area. He gets a further two Power Moons while making his way back to the Water Plaza, where he buys the rest of the items from the purple coin shop. He then captures a fish and dives underwater to a secret area, where Captain Toad gives him another Moon. He also finds a seed underwater and plants it in the Plaza, gets a Moon by completing a fishing minigame, and grabs another moon in a timed challenge. Finally, he enters a door that was previously blocked and completes a short puzzle to obtain one more Moon.
17	"I Repressed It All"	087	17:21	Rick	John, Ben, Lindsay	21 November 2017 (2017-11-21)
Inspired by a hint from Talkatoo, Rick heads back to one of the platforming challenge areas from before, and finds a Power Moon hidden there. He spends some time exploring the Lake Kingdom again, trying to find more Moons, eventually coming across a timer challenge located where the boss fight used to be which rewards him with one. He returns to Talkatoo, who gives a hint about a Moon named "From the Broken Pillar". This hint sends Rick around the entire area again interacting with broken pillars in an attempt to find it; after searching most of the Kingdom, Lindsay suggests ground pounding one underwater, which reveals the Moon. Finally, he heads back to the Water Plaza, where the flower he planted has bloomed, rewarding him with another Power Moon. With nothing left to collect in the Lake Kingdom except an "art" moon he believes is elsewhere, he heads back to the Odyssey to move on to a new area.
