Cappy is a common enemy that appears in most games in the Kirby series, making his debut appearance in Kirby's Dream Land. Cappy takes the appearance of a spotted red mushroom when he has his cap, but without it, he is revealed as a creature similar in look to a Japanese haniwa figure: he is pale yellow and has no feet or legs, but has a pair of stubby arms which he hides along with his black eyes and dot mouth under his cap. Unlike many other reoccurring enemies, Cappy has had few variations, and has never had more than a minor role in the games in which he appears.
Cappy's main method of attack is no more complicated than bumping into Kirby, which also hurts Cappy in turn. If Kirby tries to inhale Cappy, the creature's cap goes into Kirby's mouth instead of the whole Cappy. Once without his cap, Cappy will typically panic or sulk, and can then be defeated by spitting his cap back at him or inhaling him separately. Cappy can also be defeated with or without his cap by using any other attack.

Kirby's Dream Buffet
Cappy returns as a common enemy in Kirby's Dream Buffet, here given a sugar-coated look to match the food motif. He mainly serves as an obstacle on race courses, and can also be seen carrying strawberries in the Minigame mode. Some Cappies can be found with a pile of five strawberries on their heads in the Free Rolling course.
In Kirby: Right Back at Ya!
- Main article: Cappy (anime)
In the anime series Kirby: Right Back at Ya!, Cappies make up the primary intelligent race of creatures that reside in Dream Land. Here, they are portrayed without their mushroom caps, and instead come in various shapes and sizes and sporting various articles of clothing and hair/facial hair. Several hundred Cappies live in the sole established settlement of Dream Land called Cappy Town, which is led by Mayor Len Blustergas and subservient to Castle Dedede.
While most of the Cappy villagers are not explicitly named, several of them have more distinct roles and names and are recurring characters in the show. Examples include the aforementioned Mayor Len, Chief Bookem, Professor Curio, and Mabel, to name a few.

"A creature that looks like a walking mushroom at first glance. Inhaling him will strip off only his cap, revealing his true identity. Cappy tends to run around wildly, flailing his arms... and then gently eases back into a relaxed strut as if nothing ever happened." | Kirby's Dream Land Kirby Super Star |

---|---|---|
"This enemy looks rather like a mushroom...until Kirby tries to inhale him, that is--then his cap comes off and reveals the true form he's so cunningly been concealing. It might not be much of a surprise these days, though--Cappy's been around since the very first Kirby game. He's more like an old friend than an enemy at this point." | Game Boy - Kirby's Dream Land (08/1992) NES - Kirby's Adventure (05/1993) |
Trivia
- If Cappy is moved or defeated while his cap is still in the air, the cap will fall to the ground and then disappear. If the Cappy has not been defeated, he will be unable to produce a new cap at this point.
