After the crash landing succeeding Mario's fight with Bowser, Cappy finds Mario and attempts to wake him up. When Mario jumps up, he runs in fear. After going past two Bonneters, Cappy stops fleeing and talks to Mario, explaining that he has landed in the Cap Kingdom. He says that his kingdom was also attacked by the same monster that attacked Mario, and that his little sister, Tiara, was kidnapped by him. Sharing a common goal, Cappy joins Mario, allowing him to perform all hat-related moves.

In the main section of Bonneton, there are several wooden posts that can be pulled out using Cappy, many of which reveal several coins. Past the airships is a switch which Cappy can flip, and a bridge will then rise from the clouds granting access to the tower. Four Mini Goombas are in front of the entrance. Inside the tower, there is a pond and some frogs, which serve as the tutorial for the capture mechanic. There are several tall ledges with ponds that can only be scaled by capturing a frog, ones of which has several Mini-Goombas. Additionally, there are several points at which Mario can reach several Coin Rings using a frog. At the top there is another door, along with a hidden Life-Up Heart. The leads outside where there are more wrecked airships, and a hill leading to the top. Upon scaling the hill, Mario is introduced to the Broodals, and must fight Topper. After two hits, Topper is defeated and a spark pylon leading to the Cascade Kingdom appears. The mission ends after capturing the spark pylon.
