'''Cappy''' is a minor enemy that appears in most games in the [[Kirby (series)|''Kirby'' series]], making its debut appearance in ''[[Kirby's Dream Land]]''. It is a small, mushroom-like creature which moves by hopping about. In earlier titles, Cappy did not possess any limbs, but in later games, Cappy sports a pair of stubby arms. Unlike many other recurring enemies, Cappy has had few variations, and has never had more than a minor role in the games in which it appears.
'''Cappy''' is a common [[enemy]] that appears in most games in the [[Kirby (series)|''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 [[wikipedia:Haniwa|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 the Cappy in turn. If Kirby inhales Cappy, its cap is swallowed by him, revealing its face. Once without its cap, Cappy can be inhaled in turn, though it can also be defeated by other means, whether it has its cap or not. A more common method of defeating Cappy is to inhale its cap, and then spit the cap back at it.
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.

Cappy makes an appearance as a bumper in the upper portion of [[Wispy-Woods Land]]. Here, bumping into Cappy the first time removes its cap and conveys 600 points. Bumping it a second time removes it from the field and conveys 1200 points. A short time after being defeated, Cappy returns.

===''Kirby Air Ride''===

[[File:KCC Cappy sprite.png|left]][[File:KCC Cappy 2 sprite.png|left]]
Cappy makes an appearance in ''[[Kirby: Canvas Curse]]'' as a common enemy. He mainly sits in place or waddles around slowly. If tapped with the [[Magical Paintbrush]], his cap will fly off when he is stunned, which can hurt Kirby if it hits him. As such, it is generally safer to take out Cappy using a [[Touch Dash]] or Copy Ability.

In the former, he appears on the board during the [[Whispy Woods]] boss fight, and requires two hits to defeat (with the first knocking off the cap). In the latter, Cappy appears as a standard enemy to be shot down in the early stages of the game.

[[File:KRtDLD Cappy screenshot 2.png|thumb|90px|Cappy in ''Kirby's Return to Dream Land Deluxe''.]]
Cappy reappears in ''[[Kirby's Return to Dream Land]]'', and ''[[Kirby's Return to Dream Land Deluxe]]'' jumping around and occasionally throwing his cap as usual.

Cappy appears in the intro of ''[[Kirby and the Rainbow Curse]]'' where he, [[Waddle Doo]] and [[Broom Hatter]] get their color sucked away by [[Claycia]]. He would later appear as a collectible [[figurine]]. He is not faced as an enemy in this game.
 
===''Kirby: Planet Robobot''===
Cappy appears in ''[[Kirby: Planet Robobot]]'' with the same behavior as in previous games. He has a new, mechanized look in this game: his mushroom cap resembles a hard hat, and he has a metallic coil around the base of his body. His usual look appears in the [[Copy Ability Room]], as well as the hidden area at the end of [[Access Ark - Stage 8 EX]].

[[File:KatFL Cappy screenshot.png|thumb|100px|Cappy in ''Kirby and the Forgotten Land''.]]
Cappy returns as an enemy in ''[[Kirby and the Forgotten Land]]''. His main method of attack is to slowly hop toward Kirby when he sees him, though he may instead opt to hold position and throw his cap into the air. He has a rougher body texture than in previous appearances.
 
In ''Kirby and the Forgotten Land'', Cappy can be found in the following stages:

===''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 [[Strawberry|strawberries]] in the Minigame mode. Some Cappies can be found with a pile of five strawberries on their heads in the [[Free Rolling]] course.


=== ''Kirby Super Star'' (Ultra) ===
{{clear}}
In the [[Revenge of the King]] mode in ''[[Kirby Super Star Ultra]]'', the [[Poison Mash]] enemy appears, in place of Cappy.

{{main|Cappy (anime)}}
{{main|Cappy (anime)}}
In the anime, most Cappies are allies to Kirby, and live in a village called [[Cappy Town]]. Cappies include [[Mabel]], [[Curio]], [[Chief Bookums]] and [[Mayor Len]]. Strangely, none of the Cappies in this town wear a cap.
In the anime series ''[[Kirby: Right Back at Ya!]]'', Cappies make up the primary intelligent race of creatures that reside in [[Dream Land (anime)|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.

==In the ''Kirby'' novel series==
[[File:V5 Illustration 13.png|thumb|200px|Cappy riding the [[Jet Star]] in ''[[Kirby: Big Race in Pupupu Land!]]'']]
In the [[Kirby (novel series)|''Kirby'' novel series]], Cappy appears in ''[[Kirby: Big Race in Pupupu Land!]]'', as one of the race's many contestants, and makes a minor appearance in ''[[Kirby: The Dream Onsen is a Good Hot Spring♪]]''. He is a peaceful resident of [[Dream Land]] with a timid personality. He is always seen with his mushroom hat, which sometimes pops off to show his expression. Here, Cappy is an individual character, rather than a species.
 
In ''Kirby: Big Race in Pupupu Land!'', Cappy appears at the beginning, where he is talking with [[Walky]]. Cappy brings up a rumor about a giant footprint being spotted in Dream Land, with growling noises heard near it. Cappy thinks there could be a monster in Dream Land, but Walky laughs it off and does not believe him. Right when they finish talking, a giant spaceship lands nearby, and the two head over to meet a TV producer named [[Kizario]], who plans to film a race in Dream Land. Walky is excited, but Cappy is skeptical about this, and is unsure about trusting Kizario. At the race, Cappy's vehicle of choice is the [[Jet Star]], which flies up into the sky immediately. Cappy is terrified at this, screaming that he is afraid of heights. This makes the other contestants realize that they should be careful when choosing a vehicle. Throughout the rest of the story, Cappy is always grouped with the rest of the racers, and does not stand out.

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 Land[edit]

KDL Cappy sprite.png

Cappy makes his debut appearance along with Kirby himself in Kirby's Dream Land, appearing only in Green Greens. In the Extra Game, Cappy is replaced by Blopper, a similar enemy disguised as a cake and possessing the ability to throw icing projectiles. Notably, it is occasionally possible to inhale a whole Cappy in this game.

Kirby's Adventure / Kirby: Nightmare in Dream Land[edit]

Cappy returns in Kirby's Adventure and Kirby: Nightmare in Dream Land, appearing in color for the first time in the former. His appearance and behavior are largely unchanged, though he does manage to appear in a fair few stages.

In Kirby's Adventure and Kirby: Nightmare in Dream Land, Cappy can be found in the following levels and stages:

*Appears only in Kirby's Adventure.

Kirby's Pinball Land[edit]

In Kirby's Pinball Land, Cappies serve as bumpers in the upper portion of Wispy-Woods Land.

In Kirby's Pinball Land, Cappy makes an appearance as a bumper in the upper portion of Wispy-Woods Land. Here, bumping into Cappy the first time removes his cap and conveys 600 points. Bumping it a second time removes him from the field and conveys 1200 points. A short time after being defeated, Cappy returns.

Kirby's Dream Land 2[edit]

KDL2 Cappy sprite.png

Cappy appears in Kirby's Dream Land 2, largely unchanged from his previous roles in Kirby's Dream Land and Kirby's Adventure.

Kirby's Block Ball[edit]

KBBa Cappy sprite.png In Kirby's Block Ball, Cappy appears in Stage 1 as the pre-boss enemy in Round 4. He must be hit four times to defeat and is worth 5000 points.

Notably, the Cappy that appears in Round 4 won't lose his cap, but four cap-less Cappys defend Big Cappy in the following round.

Kirby Super Star / Kirby Super Star Ultra[edit]

Cappy returns as a common enemy in Kirby Super Star and Kirby Super Star Ultra, serving the same purpose as functioning the same way as usual. In the Revenge of the King mode in Kirby Super Star Ultra, the Poison Mash enemy appears in place of Cappy. He also appears on a card in Kirby Card Swipe and as a target in Kirby on the Draw.

Kirby Tilt 'n' Tumble[edit]

KTnT Cappy.png

Cappy makes a somewhat unusual appearance in Kirby Tilt 'n' Tumble. Here, he does not have his cap at all, instead opting to pop out of sand pits, water, or occupying Jump Holes. Cappy cannot harm Kirby directly in this game, but he can push him back like a bumper on contact. After appearing, Cappy will disappear again after a short time.

In Kirby Tilt 'n' Tumble, Cappy can be found in the following levels and stages:

Stage 3 No No No No No No No No
Stage 4 No No No No No No No No

Kirby Air Ride[edit]

Cappy appears as a neutral enemy in Kirby Air Ride. He stands in place on Air Ride courses, occasionally throwing his cap up and down. As usual, if Kirby tries to inhale Cappy, his cap is inhaled before Cappy himself is.

In Kirby Air Ride, Cappy can be found in the following places:

Cappy locations in Kirby Air Ride  
Location Appearance? Location Appearance?
Fantasy Meadows Yes Beanstalk Park Yes
Celestial Valley Yes Machine Passage No
Sky Sands Yes Checker Knights No

Kirby & The Amazing Mirror[edit]

In Kirby & The Amazing Mirror, Cappy does not appear as an enemy, but can be seen in the audience for Crackity Hack and Boss Endurance.

Kirby: Canvas Curse[edit]

KCC Cappy 2 sprite.png

Cappy makes an appearance in Kirby: Canvas Curse as a common enemy. He mainly sits in place or waddles around slowly. If tapped with the Magical Paintbrush, his cap will fly off when he is stunned, which can hurt Kirby if it hits him. As such, it is generally safer to take out Cappy using a Touch Dash or Copy Ability.

In Kirby: Canvas Curse, Cappy appears in the following locations:

Cappies are also conjured by Drawcia Sorceress during her boss fight. These Cappies come in four, and are a sickly blue color, similar to Poison Mash.

Kirby Mass Attack[edit]

Cappy appears in two of Kirby Mass Attack's Sub-Games, Kirby Brawlball and Strato Patrol EOS. In the former, he appears on the board during the Whispy Woods boss fight, and requires two hits to defeat (with the first knocking off the cap). In the latter, Cappy appears as a standard enemy to be shot down in the early stages of the game.

Kirby's Return to Dream Land / Kirby's Return to Dream Land Deluxe[edit]

Cappy in Kirby's Return to Dream Land Deluxe.

Cappy reappears in Kirby's Return to Dream Land, and Kirby's Return to Dream Land Deluxe jumping around and occasionally throwing his cap as usual. Starting in this game, if Cappy is left idle after his cap is taken away, he will notice its absence and slump over in sadness before returning to his usual behavior. In Kirby's Return to Dream Land Deluxe, Cappy reprises his role as a target in Kirby on the Draw.

In Kirby's Return to Dream Land Deluxe, Cappy can be found in the following levels and stages:

Cappy locations in Kirby's Return to Dream Land and Kirby's Return to Dream Land Deluxe

Kirby's Dream Collection Special Edition[edit]

In Kirby's Dream Collection Special Edition, Cappy reappears in New Challenge Stages, retaining his behavior and appearance from Kirby's Return to Dream Land. However, his only appearance is in Magolor Race 3, as one of the many enemies summoned by Magolor to slow Kirby down. A single Cappy also appears in the credits for New Challenge Stages, among the many enemies featured in the crowd.

Kirby: Triple Deluxe[edit]

Cappy reappears once again in Kirby: Triple Deluxe, with his behavior unchanged from his past appearances.

In Kirby: Triple Deluxe, Cappy can be found in the following levels and stages:

When that strange light came to steal his colors, Cappy found himself utterly frozen with fear. It was a new kind of fear too--the fear that he wouldn't have a very important role in this new story. He was right.
— Figurine description from Kirby and the Rainbow Curse.

Cappy appears in the intro of Kirby and the Rainbow Curse where he, Waddle Doo and Broom Hatter get their color sucked away by Claycia. He would later appear as a collectible figurine. He is not faced as an enemy in this game.

Kirby: Planet Robobot[edit]

Cappy appears in Kirby: Planet Robobot with the same behavior as in previous games. He has a new, mechanized look in this game: his mushroom cap resembles a hard hat, and he has a metallic coil around the base of his body. His usual look appears in the Copy Ability Room, as well as the hidden area at the end of Access Ark - Stage 8 EX.

Kirby and the Forgotten Land[edit]

Cappy in Kirby and the Forgotten Land.

Kirby's Dream Buffet[edit]

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![edit]

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.

In the Kirby novel series[edit]

In the Kirby novel series, Cappy appears in Kirby: Big Race in Pupupu Land!, as one of the race's many contestants, and makes a minor appearance in Kirby: The Dream Onsen is a Good Hot Spring♪. He is a peaceful resident of Dream Land with a timid personality. He is always seen with his mushroom hat, which sometimes pops off to show his expression. Here, Cappy is an individual character, rather than a species.

In Kirby: Big Race in Pupupu Land!, Cappy appears at the beginning, where he is talking with Walky. Cappy brings up a rumor about a giant footprint being spotted in Dream Land, with growling noises heard near it. Cappy thinks there could be a monster in Dream Land, but Walky laughs it off and does not believe him. Right when they finish talking, a giant spaceship lands nearby, and the two head over to meet a TV producer named Kizario, who plans to film a race in Dream Land. Walky is excited, but Cappy is skeptical about this, and is unsure about trusting Kizario. At the race, Cappy's vehicle of choice is the Jet Star, which flies up into the sky immediately. Cappy is terrified at this, screaming that he is afraid of heights. This makes the other contestants realize that they should be careful when choosing a vehicle. Throughout the rest of the story, Cappy is always grouped with the rest of the racers, and does not stand out.

Profiles[edit]

Super Smash Bros. Brawl trophy[edit]

Image Description Found in
SSBB Cappy Trophy.png "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

Super Smash Bros. for Wii U trophy[edit]

Image Description Appears In
CappyTrophyWiiU.png "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[edit]

  • 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.
