Editing Capture

[[File:SMO Art - Goomba Capture.png|thumb|200px|Artwork of Mario capturing a Goomba]]
'''Capture''' is an ability that [[Mario]] gains in ''[[Super Mario Odyssey]]''. His [[Bonneter]] friend, [[Cappy]], grants him this power when they team up in the [[Cap Kingdom]]. The name itself is a wordplay on "[[cap]]." When [[Cap Throw|Cappy is thrown]] at certain enemies, creatures, or objects, such as [[Goomba]]s, Cappy pulls Mario into the enemy, creature, or object. Once the action is complete, Mario is able to take control of it and use its abilities. Many of these are new to the [[Super Mario (franchise)|''Super Mario'' franchise]]. Captured entities are still "Mario," in that they can collect items and take damage. The latter depletes Mario's [[Health Meter]]. When Mario captures something, that thing gains his hat and usually his mustache, as well as blue pupils or his irises (if it has eyes). Mario can also "de-capture" his host at will when the player presses {{button|switch|zl}}/{{button|switch|zr}}. (In-game, this is written as '''Release Capture'''.) If he was capturing an enemy, it is stunned for a while, with some exceptions. Some scenarios prevent Mario from releasing a captured entity.

The warp involved for capturing can occur over any distance. Time is frozen for the animation's duration. While Cappy is on the captured entity, the hat is shown to be [[Mario Cap|Mario's cap]] and does not correspond to any [[Crazy Cap|hats]] Mario wears. When Mario collects [[Power Moon]]s not tied to [[mission|objective]]s, he is shown outside the entity for the cutscene. When gameplay resumes, Mario is still capturing the entity.

Mario can capture only entities or objects that are not wearing hats (or similar headgear). Sometimes, he is able to remove such a hat by [[jump]]ing or hitting it with Cappy. Other times, the hat cannot be removed, and capturing is not possible at all. If an instance of an object can be captured when most other versions of it are not, a pin with a question mark icon on it usually sticks out of the top of the object. The pin is usually green, but it has some color variation depending on the object. Certain unique objects, such as [[Puzzle Part]]s, have these pins.

Many captures of characters allow Mario to move around freely as them. Even still, there are some restrictions placed. A captured character cannot move into a separate map: They disappear if Mario goes through a [[Warp Pipe|Pipe]], including [[8-bit pipe]]s, and Mario appears on the other side of any transition without the captured character. Only [[Frog]]s, [[Cheep Cheep]]s, [[Zipper (Super Mario Odyssey)|Zipper]]s, and [[Gushen]] can touch deep [[water]], so all other characters disappear on contact with it. This means Mario stops capturing the character and pops up as though he released them. This also happens if any character touches [[lava]] or [[Poison (obstacle)|poison]] that defeats Mario instantly. The spikes with yellow bases in [[Bowser's Kingdom]] also have this effect, but the only capturable character that can be exposed to these spikes is [[Pokio]]. Captured characters cannot start conversations or read [[sign|Travel Tip]]s. They cannot ride [[motor scooter]]s or the [[Jaxi]]. Non-player characters are usually scared of enemies, having a different animation and differing text compared to their normal state. Captured characters vanish when collecting any Power Moon that completes an objective because of the resulting cutscene.

In single-player mode, Mario cannot use the [[Cap Throw]] while capturing another entity. Therefore, he cannot capture other entities until he releases the first entity. [[Spark pylon]]s are a exception; if Mario touches one while capturing some characters, he swaps over to the spark pylon. In two-player mode, Cappy is capable of taking off while something is captured, and he can capture another entity. This releases what Mario is currently capturing and swaps to the second entity. However, captured characters cannot [[Cap Jump|cap-jump]]. Cappy cannot capture other things while Mario is on the Jaxi or amotor scooter. He instead lands then pops back off.

When Mario captures something for the first time, that thing is added to the '''Capture List''', in addition to the '''Capture Actions''' section of the Action Guide. The Capture List has a complete list of all 52 of the game's capturable entities, while the Capture Actions list includes only 24 of them. Both menus list out that character's or item's basic actions, but the Capture Actions menu shows a short video of those moves.

Capturing can have a lingering effect on the user, as the first time Cappy and Mario used a spark pylon, Cappy noted that he still felt amped afterward. Capturing is something that all Bonneters are implied to be able to perform. The Power Moons with names featuring the recurring phrase "[[Bonneter|Hat and Seek]]" all involve finding Bonneters hidden on people. Dialogue implies they are capturing those people. Two Bonneters in the Cap Kingdom reference capturing. One wishes there was something for them to capture; the other questions if capturing will become popular.

*According to ''[[The Art of Super Mario Odyssey]]'', not only was Bowser going to have access to the capture abilities, but he would have used it to take over Princess Peach's body, with her gaining an appearance that bears a much closer resemblance to Bowser when captured by him than most captured beings in the final game do to Mario.<ref>http://www.nintendolife.com/news/2018/09/super_mario_odyssey_art_book_reveals_official_bowsette_concept_existed_long_before_the_fan-made_one</ref> There is also a picture of Mario capturing Princess Peach, which implies that she was originally intended to be a capturable character.<ref>https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=Mpkvf-nvdSU</ref>
*In the E3 2017 trailer for ''Super Mario Odyssey'', Mario's pole capture was shown to have Mario's mustache.<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wGQHQc_3ycE</ref> This is not the case in the final game. However, the pole's in-game model retains the mustache despite not using it, which can be seen via [[glitch]]es.<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tv7opM3zrbI&t=82s</ref>
*Many of the enemies captured by Mario resemble their [[Big Mario]] sprites in ''[[Super Mario Maker]]''. The only differences between Bowser's appearance in the 8-bit section of the final boss sequence and his [[Big Mushroom]] form are the lack of cap and a different mustache.
*The capture mechanic coincidentally resembles the [[Swipin' Stu]] gaining Mario's mustache after stealing and donning his cap from ''[[Super Mario Sunshine]]''.
