Mysterious Cloud

Cap Clouds are objects that appear in Super Mario Odyssey. They are white, floating top hats with question marks on them resembling the ones found on ? Blocks, and usually float above gaps. They are found in the Cascade Kingdom, the Cloud Kingdom, and the Luncheon Kingdom. When Cappy is thrown at them, a cloud platform will appear for the player that will disappear after a few seconds, similar to the ones Cloud Mario produces in Super Mario Galaxy 2. Performing a Ground Pound on a Cap Cloud after activating it makes it last slightly longer. The travel brochure of the Cloud Kingdom discusses Cap Clouds, referring to them as 'super-light stuff' and 'strangely floaty material', and stating they were first discovered recently by researchers at Fossil Falls; it also states that the discovery of Cap Clouds led to the discovery of the Cloud Kingdom by promoting certain researchers to begin investigations regarding its existence.
