Glowing spots[1][2][3] are objects in the 3D Super Mario titles. They are glowing beams of light that dispenses an item when ground-pounded. Approaching them causes a rumble in the player's controller.

History[edit]

This article is a stub. Please consider expanding it to include any missing information. Specifics: Where does it show up specifically in these games? What about Mini Goombas? What Power Moons are found under glowing spots? How does rumble work?

Super Mario 3D World / Super Mario 3D World + Bowser's Fury[edit]

Glowing spots first appear in Super Mario 3D World and can be ground-pounded to reveal items. Glowing spots return in Super Mario 3D World + Bowser's Fury, serving the same purpose; in addition, glowing spots can be found on the tops of lighthouses in the Bowser's Fury campaign.

Super Mario Odyssey[edit]

An image from the Ruined Kingdom brochure

Glowing spots appear in Super Mario Odyssey in most of the kingdoms as beams of light on the ground. When glowing spots are ground-pounded, various objects can appear, such as Power Moons, Mini Goombas, or a ring of coins.

In the Sand Kingdom, Seaside Kingdom, Metro Kingdom, Moon Kingdom, and Mushroom Kingdom, a dog appears, and it can dig in certain places to reveal glowing spots; ground-pounding on them yields either coins or Power Moons.
