Fossil Falls is a prehistoric world with a realistic Dinosaur that can be controlled with Cappy. The main landmark of this kingdom is the waterfall flowing down from the skeleton of a Triceratops, while its background appears to be inspired from the real-life located between Argentina and Brazil.
==Culture==
See the rainbow, there is many waterfalls in the Cascade Kingdom, but the area known as Fossil Falls is a special one. There are few sign in nature as grand as the millions of gallons of water pouring out every second of this gigantic Triceratops' skeleton, natural patterns of the fossil, if you look closely at the stone wall. You will notice fossil missing.
== History ==
If you read the kingdom's pamphlet, you can tell that the first settlers were Bonneters. This proven by the pamphlet stating that an ancient wall may have been hand-carved by foreigners and how Bonneters may have lived there in the past since they were travelers. Unfortunately, there is no source stating as to why the Bonneters may have left. It is either that they have perished in the area with no succession of their civilization, or they moved away from the falls from mysterious circumstances. To this day, no one really knows what happened to the Bonneters.
== Secret Exits ==
Fossil Falls has a total of two secret exits:
# A secret exit to Bowser's Castle can be found behind the falls. Just go and swim behind the falls near the Crazy Cap store.
# Depending on the path you take, you can wind up in Fossil Falls from the Seaside/Snow Kingdom.

Mario first arrives in Fossil Falls via a spark pylon located on top of the Top-Hat Tower in the Cap Kingdom, which snaps upon his exit. When he arrives here, he is introduced to the game's main collectible, the Power Moons, as well as the Odyssey, a hat-shaped airship used to travel between the game's kingdoms.
