Without saying much, something happens after the Bowser fight that will release probably 10-20 new moons in each level, and then you can start 100%-ing places. I won’t go into too much detail here, but if you’re freaked out by the moon list on each map that says there are 50-60 moons when you’ve explored the entire map and found maybe 30, don’t worry. Some Moons You Can't Get Until You Beat The Game

Explore too long in the “early state” and you’ll keep running into dead-ends.Ħ. The reason? Each map changes significantly once you beat it, like the desert map unfreezing an opening up a ton of new moon-getting opportunities. But while this is fine, I would recommend probably just plowing through straight to the boss battles and “fixing” whatever kingdom you’re in. If you’re like me, you may want to spend a ton of time exploring a map before moving on in the “main questline,” as it were, as in solving whatever the main problem is on each map.
