You seem to be a more shy type, so what makes you nervous? (Btw, you look so adorable when you sleep ^^)
"I still worry a lot, but it was a lot worse before I met Mario. I warmed up to him surprisingly quickly, and after all we've been through together, he's someone I can just feel genuinely comfortable around. If it weren't for the whole 'Tiara being in mortal peril' thing, I'd be willing to go through all that stress again to meet him, a thousand times over."
a few things to Cappy. 1: Why does the profile picture look a lot like the beginning of Gangnam Style, or is it just me? 2: Is every Cappy hat made alive, or is it just the Cappy in everyone's save files? 3: What is your favourite game?
No like seriously, how does it work? When Mario throws you onto something, he gets sucked into its body and takes control of it. That's the basics, right?
But why are you the ONLY BONNETER (who's been confirmed, mind you) to use capture? Does capturing require a bond between you and another person which can explain how when one throws you onto something, they get sucked into its body, not you? And even IF you're able to use capture and be able to control what you capture ON YOUR OWN, why didn't you go after Bowser and his minions??
I HAVE SO MANY QUESTIONS AS TO HOW THIS AND THE PREMISE OF SUPER MARIO ODYSSEY WORK AND NINTENDO HASN'T GIVEN US AN ANSWER YET, WHAT ARE THE CONDITIONS HERE???
Going to step out of character for a sec to put a theory/attempted explanation on this one for fun so bear with me.
So, either bonneters are ghosts, which explains this more simply, or they're living creatures resembling ghosts, which might be the case since there's not really anything in SMO that outright confirms that Cappy is a ghost, despite the presence of them elsewhere in the Mario franchise. I'd personally subscribe to the latter honestly because Cappy being an actual ghost raises more questions than it answers. If there are sentient bombs and mushrooms in this universe, I can get around the idea of guys who look and act like ghosts but aren't really dead.
And like, magic just... exists in the Mario universe, as made clear by Magikoopas etc, and I'd argue that bonneters are inherently magic in the way of their self sustainability as shapeshifters. How can cappy think, and talk, and apparently drink tea, then turn into Mario's hat with enough hollow room for his head and suddenly have no capacity for any of the biological functions to do so? If Cappy is not truly a ghost, then he at least has some way of compressing or temporarily vanishing elements of his body when he doesn't need them (including his entirely visible eyes), like... a pocket dimension for organs, or that he is entirely made of magic in the first place. He can either tuck himself inside the impossibly small space in his own hat/head, or vanish most of his body at will, as well as standard shape shifting. And if he is a ghost, well, we can just say he's a spirit and they behave weird and leave it at that. But either way, his consciousness persists beyond the boundaries of a physical form already.
Cappy is not the only bonneter who can capture, and I'd have to assume they can do it without a third party like mario. In postgame cap kingdom, one of the bonneter npcs is wondering out loud if capturing is a new trend and if there's anything around they can capture. Glossing over the implications of a society where an entire group of people who just possess others for fun, and moving on, that suggests this is not a Cappy exclusive power, but rather something all bonneters are able to do. Also, having the superpower if being able to let other people possess things through you sounds... incredibly unuseful?
so, if Cappy is able to cleanly separate his mind from his physical existence from attributes of his physical existence, I don't think it's too much of a reach to think he could possess someone, or magically extend this pocket dimension spirit severing power on someone else to project their consciousness into something else like a weird spirit medium. I doubt a bond is even necessary since he'd known Mario for all of, what, five minutes? Before he could let him capture a frog.
I think Cappy did not go after Bowser on his own because he's established as a little nervous and having someone else to team up with probably gave him the determination to out his "go to the Cascade kingdom to find an old airship" plan into action. either that, or he was already planning to go and Mario happened to show up before he did.
Do you and Mario still go on adventures or do you go solo?
"I still do travel on my own, but I've been sticking to safer places lately. Being able to capture things doesn't come in handy as self defense against anything that has faster reflexes than you."
