'''Cappy''' is a major character in ''[[Super Mario Odyssey]]''. He is [[Mario]]'s main ally throughout the game and assists him in various ways. Along with his little sister [[Tiara]], Cappy is a [[Bonneter]] originally from the [[Cap Kingdom]] and joins Mario to rescue her after she is kidnapped by [[Bowser]].

Cappy has the ability to do what is called, "'''capture'''". Meaning he and Mario can control many enemies and other creatures. Capturing allows Mario to use the abilities of said creature. He can also change form to match the outfit and headwear chosen.

==Concept and creation==
[[File:SMO Concept Art - Cappy.jpg|thumb|left|Sketch of Cappy's final design]]
Cappy's final design was colored white as he was meant to transform into various hats, and white was deemed a color able to fit all the different colors of the hats.<ref name="concept">[https://twitter.com/mario_odysseyJP/status/950486017575800832 Post about the sketch of Cappy's final design from the Japanese ''Super Mario Odyssey'' official Twitter account].

==History==
===''Super Mario'' series===
====''Super Mario Run''====
[[File:SMR CappyStatue.png|thumb|120px|Cappy's statue in ''Super Mario Run'']]
Although ''[[Super Mario Odyssey]]'' is the first game in which Cappy is physically present, he technically debuted in ''[[Super Mario Run]]'' via a cameo. To promote ''Super Mario Odyssey''{{'}}s appearance at E3 2017, a statue of Cappy in the form of the [[Mario Cap]] was made available as one of the objects in Kingdom Builder on June 14, 2017 and costs 2,000 [[coin]]s. When tapped after it is placed on the field, it changes to his original top hat form for a few seconds, while his voice can be heard exclaiming, "Cappy!"

This statue, along with the other ''Super Mario Odyssey''-related items, was made available normally through the Remix 10 mode as of the version 3.0.4 update for the game. It can be obtained from the Bonus Game at the end of each 10-course interval and the Super Bonus Game, which can be accessed by collecting enough [[Bonus Medal]]s while playing.

====''Super Mario Odyssey''====
Cappy's proper debut occurs in ''Super Mario Odyssey'', where he is [[Mario]]'s main partner throughout the game. Cappy joins Mario to rescue his little sister [[Tiara]], who had been kidnapped by [[Bowser]] along with [[Princess Peach]]. He is "energetic but a bit timid."<ref name=Twitter>[https://twitter.com/mario_odysseyJP/status/874671918237995008 ''Super Mario Odyssey'' Japanese Twitter]</ref> Cappy is also controlled by the second player while playing in co-op mode.

Mario can [[Cap Throw|throw Cappy]] in various ways; a straight up/down shot that can roll across surfaces, a circular, boomerang-like throw, and a homing throw which can also be used to extend Cappy's reach. Cappy can also be held in place once thrown. Throwing Cappy in the air gives Mario a vertical boost while canceling horizontal momentum, allowing Mario to adjust his trajectory. Mario can bounce off Cappy once per jump, significantly extending Mario's jumping reach, but he can be thrown a second time. These moves serve as an attack and defensive measure, allowing Mario to defeat enemies at a distance.

When thrown at certain enemies or objects, Cappy [[capture]]s them, allowing Mario to control them to get across stages. The behavior of captured enemies and objects varies depending on the creature or object. Cappy can also interact with the environment. For example, he can pull levers, remove wooden poles, destroy some objects, and remove pools of poison. Cappy can help collect several items for Mario, such as [[coin]]s and [[Heart (item)|heart]]s. Exceptions include [[Power Moon]]s and [[key]]s. In addition to [[Coin Block]]s, Cappy can also collect items from certain environmental objects, such as bushes.

Cappy also informs the player of various details of the game and the surrounding world, such as [[regional coin]]s that can only be used in one kingdom.

===''Super Smash Bros. Ultimate''===
[[File:Mario Smash Ultimate.png|thumb|left|200px|Cappy in ''Super Smash Bros. Ultimate'']]
Cappy appears in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]'' as the [[Crazy Cap#Mario Cap|Mario Cap]], [[Crazy Cap#Mario's Top Hat|Mario's Top Hat]] and [[Crazy Cap#Builder Helmet|Builder Helmet]], appearing during some moves and a taunt alongside Mario. However, he does not have any effect on Mario's moveset. He also appears in his Bonneter form as a support [[Spirit (Super Smash Bros. Ultimate)|spirit]], which slightly increases the power of grabs and throws when equipped. Cappy's spirit can be summoned using [[zeldawiki:Ezlo|Ezlo]]'s core and [[Boo Mario]]'s core, a reference to Cappy sharing a similar hat-based and ghostly appearance with Ezlo and Boo Mario, respectively. Cappy also appears in Mario Cap form as a [[List of Mii Headgear|hat]] that can be worn by [[Mii|Mii Fighters]], which can be unlocked through a challenge.

===Other appearances===
A headgear item based off Cappy was released in ''[[nookipedia:Animal Crossing: Pocket Camp|Animal Crossing: Pocket Camp]]'' on October 27, 2018 to celebrate the first anniversary of ''[[Super Mario Odyssey]]''.

==General information==
===Physical description===
Cappy's normal form is a white top hat with blue wisps of hair and large eyes with red irises. Under the hat is his main body, which somewhat resembles an [[Eerie]]. When transformed into different hats, such as the [[Mario Cap]], Cappy's eyes appear on the hat. Cappy also comes in a variety of outfits, which can be purchased from the kingdoms' [[Crazy Cap]] stores, including a chef hat, top hat, builder hat, and a fedora. Cappy always takes the form of the Mario Cap when capturing an enemy or object. In ''Super Smash Bros. Ultimate'', Cappy gains a subdued color scheme and simple detailing.

===Personality===
Cappy is a helpful, friendly, selfless, confident, and heroic character who is always there for those he cares about. However, he is a little timid and easily startled at times. Despite this, after joining with Mario, he is very bold and never backs down from a fight, such if the player chooses to leave the Wedding Hall before rescuing Peach and Tiara. When Tiara is captured, he immediately chooses to join Mario and assist him in his journey. He is also talkative, frequently giving Mario advice and checking out interesting aspects of other kingdoms.

While in the [[Darker Side]], he is shown to be grateful to Mario for his journey when they climb the replica of the New Donk City Hall to reach the last [[Multi Moon]] on its top.
