Template:Quote2 The Bonneters[1], or Courteous Bonneters[2], are a race of ghostly, hat-like beings found in the region of Bonneton within the Cap Kingdom of Super Mario Odyssey. They all have Eerie-like bodies, heads shaped like hats, and big eyes with irises of various colors. As demonstrated by Cappy, they can also take on the appearances of other hats, such as the Mario Cap, and capture other beings, both animate or inanimate. Male Bonneters have top hat-shaped heads with a more pronounced eyebrow ridge while female Bonneters have cloche hat-shaped heads with ribbons and wingtip eyelashes. Cappy and his sister, Tiara, are shaped like a white top hat and a tiara, respectively.

There are two recurring post-game quests involving Bonneters after the player defeats Bowser in the Moon Kingdom:

Bonneters operate a Crazy Cap store in the nearby Cascade Kingdom, being one of the three races to do so in kingdoms other than their own.

Like many of the supporting characters, Bonneters will cower and refuse to talk to Mario if an enemy gets too close to them, regardless of whether Mario has captured the enemy in question or not.

Trivia

  • The Bonneters resemble and share similarities to tsukumogami, a type of youkai from Japanese folklore.[3]
  • According to the book The Art of Super Mario Odyssey, originally, Bowser was going to be assisted by an evil Bonneter serving as a villainous version of Cappy, allowing him to capture other characters and objects like Mario, but this character was replaced with a robotic top hat equipped with mechanical boxing gloves in the final game. The original concept for the game's final boss battle involved him capturing Peach and the two transforming into a Bowser-Peach hybrid.
