Isn't the bat shape you are talking about just the end of the luncheon kingdom?

A bat wing? We're going to Gotham 😮
It's next to Luncheon, yes, but Luncheon's location is Mount Volbono in the middle of the continent on a land mass shaped like a cooking pot on top of a volcano. The whole bat wing is empty.

The land mass attatched to Seaside's champagne bottle (South America) is probably something, too, but it doesn't have an obvious shape to make a guess about. Every land mass with a location has a shape associated with that location asside from
Lake Lamode, which just has a giant lake.

The map also gives us a better look at a landmass next to the Metro Kingdom that could be something:
Look at its little eyes <3
I do think this could be the 'final map' as in the final 'promo' map, though. This doesn't mean it's showing all kingdoms (we know the tropical island from the direct is missing, for one) but I don't see them adding a lot more text on top of that, it already feels kinda cluttered at parts, lmao.

Bummer about
no Isle Delfino. At least we got Peach's castle.
Please don't fuck that up Nintendo.

Weird they completely removed that island. I mean at this point we know it exists. Leaving it with no label would have been way less suspicious 🤔
So well have to wait some more for them to fully update the map then 🤔

Thinking of getting this on Amazon Japan digital. Would be nice to have it a day early.

Oh, missed it when I saw it yesterday but there's also an Odyssey shot that shows us the stickers for
There's also these but I don't think it's pointing to anything. I might cross check with other kingdoms later to be sure, though.
E: ok,
E2: apparently the box-art kingdom water Kingdom might have been
all along lmao. Someone apparently saw some pics of it in the Action Guide section of the Best Buy Demo.

Forgotten Isle and Lake Lamode (the latter's is in the shape of the kingdom and doesn't seem to include the island near it)

E: ok,
considering those two don't seem to match any kingdom AND we've only seen one sticker per purple shop so far, that might have been a stealth reveal of two new ones, haha

Not in the UK they haven't, also haven't heard from any international reviewers... Very curious.

Thanos acquires the fully powered Infinity Gauntlet in The Avengers: Infinity War, but loses when all the superheroes team up together to stop him.
I would love to see a fan made map of every location from every Mario game someday. Like, Mushroom and Beanbean next to each other, Sarasaland and Dinosaur Land somewhere close by, Isle Delfino... etc.
Huh, I thought it would be an ice world or at least ice-cream themed due to the name, but La Mode also means "in fashion." And I can't help but notice that elements of the the environment look like
a wedding dress
Even if the sand texture looks flat as hell, the geometry on the ship and Mario looks amazing!!

At this point, honestly, I'm avoiding most videos on this game. Title in question, if had not already, sold me on the E3 trailer. Galaxy 2 is seriously my favorite game of all-time, which is quite the accomplished, as I never thought anything from my childhood during the NES/SNES era would be surpassed.

How Super Mario Odyssey's Opening Has Changed Since the Reveal Trailer (Graphics Comparison)

What is weird is that "Lake Lamode" sounds like French, but then the theme seems to be based on
ancient Greece

Forgotten isle is forgotten, nobody's going to mark that on a map. Apparently it's situated directly between the two locations before and after, so wouldn't surprise me if you crash land there or whatever.

Why does gamexplain always put the improved shot on the left, it always confuses me.

Damn! The art department doing work!
Well, it's basically where Hawaii is in the real world.

Is it based on the real world? 🤔
I think there will be some sort of event that lands you there, like a Bowser fight or something, looks like you'll have fought each rabbit once by that point.
Metro Kingdom is shaped like North America. Seaside is Central America and is attatched to a continent shaped somewhat like South America. Forgotten Isle is sitting out in the middle of this planet's version of the Pacific.
Speaking of progression, I'd like to point this out. First off here's how I think it'll go: https://i.imgur.com/kz0ImZ0.jpg
It's really interesting when you think about it how, at least for the first few worlds,
it follows the usual Mario world progression, especially like NSMB DS:
World 1 is Grass: Fossil Falls
World 2 is Desert: Tostarena
Then you have a choice between World 3 and 4. In NSMBDS World 3 is Water and World 4 is Jungle, which matches up with Lake Lamode and Wooded Kingdom. Though due to the poison swamp water, Forgotten Isle is also like Jungle. And then it loses the similarities after that.

And of course there are several areas on the map that could be kingdoms, and we don't know how some places factor in.
