The Cap Kingdom (帽子の国 Bōshi no Kuni?, lit. Hat Country)is a location that appears in Super Mario Odyssey. It is a vast realm in the form of a top hat. Its most notable city is Bonneton, which serves as the first kingdom in the game. This is the hometown of Cappy and Tiara.

The kingdom is notable for being primarily inhabited by Bonneters. The primary currency of the Cap Kingdom is purple Top Hats.

There is an airship owned by one of the residents, which is found crashed towards the center of town towards the beginning. Past the residential area, there is a building plastered with posters advertising the imminent wedding of Princess Peach and Bowser.

Concept and Creation[]

Bonneton was designed incorporating a silk-like design in various object, with the lawn also recalling the felt of the hats. A reduced number of colors was used in the design to make the moon look impressive. 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 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 and had a curved main stem to distinguish them from streetlights from Metro Kingdom and fit Bonneton.

Brochure details[]

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.

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.

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!

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 "Sometimes" Bridge[]

The bridge connecting Central Square to Top-Hat Tower is build 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.
