Super Mario: 10 AMAZING Features That Only Appeared Once

Has there been ever been a more iconic one-time friend in Mario history? Super Mario Odyssey is one of the best games Nintendo has ever released, winning Game of the Year and selling over seventeen million copies. Whilst the vibrancy in open worlds and level design are both brilliant, the big source of popularity for the game came from Cappy.

This unique hat worn by Mario was the most ambitious feature Nintendo had ever tried to implement, and helped to structure the way the whole game works. Mario can throw Cappy out in a variety of different ways, either for using him as an extra ledge or platforming jump or as a means of capturing an item or enemy and allowing the player to take control of it.

On top of that, Cappy is also given a pretty interesting backstory and personality throughout his time in the game. Initially from the Cap Kingdom and the brother of Tiara, Cappy grows from an energetic, if slightly shy, figure to one of the most brave and fearless companions Mario has ever had. Though Odyssey will always be his game, it would be awesome to see Cappy reunite with Mario again one day.
