Topper

"Heh heh! Da boss wasn't kiddin' when he said you two're persistent! But I owe it to da family, to all da Broodals, to come at ya with everythin' I got!"

- Topper

Topper is a squat member of the Broodals in a green suit, as well as a green top hat with a spiked ring. Under his hat is a small purple pompadour. Like the other Broodals, he is found in Super Mario Odyssey, specifically in the Cap Kingdom. In battle, Topper stacks two copies of his hat atop his regular one before skipping towards Mario. Mario must knock off his hats using Cappy to damage him; once knocked off, the hat will slide around spinning like a Koopa Shell, and can be hit for one heart each. Once all the hats are removed, Topper will be stunned, and Mario must attack the top of his head. After this, Topper will hide in one of his hats, and all three will bounce around like shells. At this point, Mario must hit the hat he is in to stop him, with the other hats again providing hearts. From here, the attack pattern starts over, with the exception that Topper now panics and runs instead of sitting stunned when his head is exposed. After he is hit at this point, Topper is defeated and falls to the ground in a daze.

He is later fought again at the Rabbit Ridge tower at Dark Side. He addresses Mario by stating that, even though Mario stopped Bowser from marrying Peach, he still has to deal with them.

Topper, Client Relations

Poise under pressure.

Responsible for client relations on behalf of the Broodals' wedding-planning firm, Topper is usually found on-site, troubleshooting.

''You can tell how serious he is about a battle by the number of hats he has stacked up on his head; he doesn't tap into his full hat reserves except for the most dangerous opponents. So if you square off with him and he seems to be mostly hat, you should feel honored...and afraid.''

Trivia

 * Based on some of his speech mannerisms (ie, pronouncing "the" as "da" and dropping the "g" from the end of certain words, and pronouncing "you" as "ya"), he seems to speak with a Brooklyn accent.
