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. 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 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. A reduced number of colors was used in the design to make the moon look impressive. Bonneton was designed incorporating a silk hat-like design in various objects, with the lawn also recalling the felt of the hats. 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.
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. Inside the Top-Hat Tower, Mario learns to Capture by capturing a frog. After traversing through the Central Plaza, Mario and Cappy reach the entrance of Top-Hat Tower, where they encounter some Mini Goombas, which Cappy notices recognize Mario in an aggressive manner. Here, he meets Cappy for the first time on the Glasses Bridge of Bonneton, and decides to join together to rescue Princess Peach and Tiara (Cappy's little sister). As the name Cap Kingdom implies, hat-shaped buildings and reliefs are everywhere in this land of tradition and formality.Īt the start of the game, Mario lands directly in this location after being knocked off of Bowser's airship.
Geographically, the kingdom is a top hat-shaped island covered in black vegetation, soil and ground. The Cap Kingdom island is located west of the Cascade Kingdom and northeast of the Mushroom Kingdom. Bonneton is possibly the joining of "Bonnet" (a type of headgear) and the city-name suffix "-ton". This kingdom also serves as the tutorial stage of the game, and is the greater location of Bonneton.
The resident Bonneters excel at ship-building and can even attach sails to their homes to convert them into airships. It is a gloomy, monochromatic kingdom filled with thick fog inhabited by hat-like beings called Bonneters, including Cappy and his sister, Tiara. The Cap Kingdom is the first kingdom visited in Super Mario Odyssey. “Doesn't the moonlight just put you at ease?” - Bonneter, Super Mario Odyssey
