The '''Cap Kingdom''' is the first kingdom visited in ''[[Super Mario Odyssey]]''. It is a gloomy, monochromatic kingdom filled with thick fog inhabited by hat-like beings called [[Bonneter]]s, including [[Cappy]] and his sister, [[Tiara]]. The resident Bonneters excel at ship-building and can even attach sails to their homes to convert them into airships. This kingdom also serves as the tutorial stage of the game, and is the greater location of '''Bonneton'''. Bonneton is possibly the joining of "Bonnet" (a type of headgear) and the city-name suffix "-ton". The Cap Kingdom island is located west of the [[Cascade Kingdom]] and northeast of the [[Mushroom Kingdom (Super Mario Odyssey)|Mushroom Kingdom]]. Geographically, the kingdom is a top hat-shaped island covered in black vegetation, soil and ground. As the name Cap Kingdom implies, hat-shaped buildings and reliefs are everywhere in this land of tradition and formality.
 
[[File: TAoSMO Concept London Cap Kingdom.jpg|thumb|250px|The kingdom in ''The Art of Super Mario Odyssey'']]
As shown in ''[[The Art of Super Mario Odyssey]]'', this kingdom is based on the real-world location of [[London]], [[United Kingdom|England]], particularly the {{wp|Victorian era}}, due to the architecture visible in the background, the {{wp|Pea soup fog|misty environment}}, and the clothing worn by the residents of the town. The residents also use many stock British expressions and hat-themed parodies thereof.
 
==History==
Sometime before ''Super Mario Odyssey'' starts, Bowser attacked the Cap Kingdom, kidnapping Tiara and damaging all of the airships. When [[Mario]] is knocked off [[Bowser's Airship]], he lands in a hilly area of Bonneton. When he gets up, he scares off the curious Cappy. Cappy calms down just past the [[Glasses Bridge]] of Bonneton. After a short conversation, they decide to join together to rescue [[Princess Peach]] and Tiara from [[Bowser]]. Cappy takes the place of [[Mario Cap|Mario's torn up cap]], transforming into a replica. With the airships of the Cap Kingdom broken, Cappy determines that they have to travel to the [[Cascade Kingdom]] to find one, and that there is a way over at the top of [[Top-Hat Tower]]. He is unable to do so alone because the [[Broodals]] are up there. From the Central Plaza, Mario and Cappy go to Top-Hat Tower. They have to activate a bridge to cross a gap, and encounter three aggressive [[Mini Goomba]]s at the entrance. Inside the Top-Hat Tower, Mario learns to [[Capture]] by capturing a frog, and uses it to reach the higher exit. After climbing through the Top-Hat Tower and reaching its summit, the Broodals introduce themselves and [[Topper]] drops down to fight Mario. After being defeated, a [[Spark pylon]] appears. Mario captures this spark pylon so he and Cappy dash over to the Cascade Kingdom.

The '''Cap Kingdom''' is the first kingdom visited in ''[[Super Mario Odyssey]]''. It is a gloomy, monochromatic kingdom filled with thick fog and hat-like beings called [[Bonneter]]s, including [[Cappy]]. This kingdom also serves as the tutorial stage of the game, and is the greater location of '''Bonneton'''. At the start of the game, [[Mario]] and Cappy meet up here in the Central Plaza of Bonneton, and decide to join together to rescue [[Princess Peach]] and [[Tiara]] (Cappy's little sister). After traversing through the Central Plaza, Mario and Cappy reach the entrance of Top-Hat Tower, where they encounter some [[Micro Goomba]]s, which Cappy notices recognize Mario in an aggressive manner. After climbing through the Top-Hat Tower and reaching its summit, Mario must face against [[Topper]], one of the [[Broodals]], in order to gain access to the next kingdom - the [[Cascade Kingdom]].
This kingdom is most likely based on the real-world location of [[wikipedia:London|London]] ([[wikipedia:England|England]]) due to the architecture visible in the background, the [[Wikipedia:Pea soup fog|misty environment]] and the clothing worn by the residents of the town. The residents also use many stock British expressions and hat-themed parodies thereof.
The Cap Kingdom is located west of the Cascade Kingdom and northeast of the [[Mushroom Kingdom (Super Mario Odyssey)|Mushroom Kingdom]]. Geographically, the kingdom is a top hat-shaped piece of land covered in black vegetation.

Bonneter, Super Mario Odyssey

The Cap Kingdom is the first kingdom visited in Super Mario Odyssey. It is a gloomy, monochromatic kingdom filled with thick fog inhabited by hat-like beings called Bonneters, including Cappy and his sister, Tiara. The resident Bonneters excel at ship-building and can even attach sails to their homes to convert them into airships. This kingdom also serves as the tutorial stage of the game, and is the greater location of Bonneton. Bonneton is possibly the joining of "Bonnet" (a type of headgear) and the city-name suffix "-ton". The Cap Kingdom island is located west of the Cascade Kingdom and northeast of the Mushroom Kingdom. Geographically, the kingdom is a top hat-shaped island covered in black vegetation, soil and ground. As the name Cap Kingdom implies, hat-shaped buildings and reliefs are everywhere in this land of tradition and formality.

The kingdom in The Art of Super Mario Odyssey

As shown in The Art of Super Mario Odyssey, this kingdom is based on the real-world location of London, England, particularly the Victorian era, due to the architecture visible in the background, the misty environment, and the clothing worn by the residents of the town. The residents also use many stock British expressions and hat-themed parodies thereof.

History[edit]

Sometime before Super Mario Odyssey starts, Bowser attacked the Cap Kingdom, kidnapping Tiara and damaging all of the airships. When Mario is knocked off Bowser's Airship, he lands in a hilly area of Bonneton. When he gets up, he scares off the curious Cappy. Cappy calms down just past the Glasses Bridge of Bonneton. After a short conversation, they decide to join together to rescue Princess Peach and Tiara from Bowser. Cappy takes the place of Mario's torn up cap, transforming into a replica. With the airships of the Cap Kingdom broken, Cappy determines that they have to travel to the Cascade Kingdom to find one, and that there is a way over at the top of Top-Hat Tower. He is unable to do so alone because the Broodals are up there. From the Central Plaza, Mario and Cappy go to Top-Hat Tower. They have to activate a bridge to cross a gap, and encounter three aggressive Mini Goombas at the entrance. Inside the Top-Hat Tower, Mario learns to Capture by capturing a frog, and uses it to reach the higher exit. After climbing through the Top-Hat Tower and reaching its summit, the Broodals introduce themselves and Topper drops down to fight Mario. After being defeated, a Spark pylon appears. Mario captures this spark pylon so he and Cappy dash over to the Cascade Kingdom.

Concept and creation[edit]

With the Cap Kingdom being the first place that players visit after Mario's defeat in the opening cinematic, this world's strange and slightly disturbing environment was intended to reflect the player's feelings as they dive into this new game.[1] Bonneton was designed incorporating a silk hat-like design in various objects, with the lawn also recalling the felt of the hats.[2] A reduced number of colors was used in the design to make the moon look impressive.[2] The concept art shows that in the early design the undulating city in the background was already there, along with the airship of the Broodals and the spark pylon leading to Fossil Falls. On the other hand, the Top-Hat Tower was meant to have a small tower with another top hat on top stemming from the main building, as well as two windows that looked like eyes. The entrance to it looked like a statue of Bowser with a top hat, while the Bonneters had a body and a head, with eyes not being incorporated in the hats. The lampposts were based on hat racks with three hats on them rather than just one,[3] and had a curved main stem to distinguish them from street lights from Metro Kingdom and fit Bonneton.[3]

World's Best Hat Stand

This eye-catching tower is famous in Bonneton, both as a landmark itself and for the spectacular view from the "brim."

Visitors are allowed inside, but many creatures call the tower home, much to the surprise of first timers.

You might mistake them for giants' top hats.

Extremely Mobile Homes

In town, you will immediately notice the unique dwellings shaped like hats. These constructions double as both house and airship for the Bonneters, who take great pride in them.

Some of the larger "houseboats" even have two stories. As private dwellings, you can't just stroll inside, but the natives don't mind people climbing on top of their homes. Perhaps being atop private property comes naturally to these hat-like people.

The distinctively double-arched bridge.

A Spectacle of a Bridge

The bridge that connects the central square and the hills is called Glasses Bridge. It's a long, double-arched structure whose bottom is hidden in a sea of clouds. When you see it, you'll understand its affectionate nickname immediately. Many tourists enjoy the speedy thrill of rolling across the undulating structure—be sure to give it a try!

They also look a bit like hat stands.

Old-Fashioned Lighting

These unique lights only appear in Bonneton. Since the area gets so dark every time the moon goes behind the clouds, the lights are designed to be switched on with a simple turn of the lantern. The elegant design of these lampposts draws many tourists. They're even lovelier when turned on, so do give each one a spin as you pass by.

The bridge's waves go with the sea of fog.

The "Sometimes" Bridge

The bridge connecting Central Square to Top-Hat Tower is built to retract in an emergency. If this happens during your visit, don't panic—just use the switch to restore the bridge.

Posts that stand out...

These wooden posts are used as partitions or stoppers. If they get in your way, you can pound them down, but pulling them out is recommended.

Three Keys to the Kingdom

  1. Appreciate the distinctive architectural style based on hat silhouettes.
  2. Enjoy the romantic glow of the moonlit, fog-shrouded streets.
  3. Chat with the kind and ever-courteous Bonneters.
