In Super Mario Odyssey, How often vibration is used to indicate item locations?
Posted On: March 22, 2023

Since Switch Lite doesn't have vibration motors, Nintendo has an alternative for the rumble in a form of visual "screen-shake" in Odyssey. The indicator is subtle, challenging to notice especially when crossing (a) challenge room tile(s) and have this effect to play for a split second. At least in the context of my eyesight and viewing distance, I can't see obvious motion on the Lite's 5.5-inch display even when standing on top of a moon.


Question from user user598527 at gaming.stackexchange.com.


Answer:

Looking through a list of Power Moons, I found 5 moons where rumble is used to hint at the hidden moon's location.


Sand Kingdom: (17) Top of a Dune.


Sand Kingdom: (52) A Rumble From The Sandy Floor.


Metro Kingdom: (16) Left at the Cafe?


Seaside Kingdom: (41) A Rumble on the Seaside Floor.


Bowser's Kingdom (42): A Rumble Under the Arena Floor.


Additionally, there are 4 fishing moons that use rumble to indicate when to reel in your line.


Sand Kingdom: (34) Fishing in the Oasis.


Lake Kingdom: (15) Lake Fishing.


Snow Kingdom: (17) Fishing in the Glacier!.


Bowser's Castle: (27) Fishing(?) in Bowser's Castle.
