The last thing SMG3 remembers was that that strange Hooded Man had grabbed him by the neck and thrown him from Bowser's "Airship." After that, everything faded, not only because at the speed at which he was going he couldn't see it, but also because at the height at which they were, it was very difficult to breathe... He was afraid, but at the same time he was upset... After a few seconds in the air, he fainted... (For everything mentioned above)...

- Hello! - the little hat told him.

SMG3 was surprised and scared, so much so that he jumped back a little! Did he really just say "Hello!" a "Talking-Ghost-Hat"?!

- I'm already dead, right? - asked 3.

The little hat laughed.

- No, but almost, if I hadn't managed to rescue you... -.

3's eyes widened, expressing some surprise. How was it possible that the "Talking-Ghost-Hat" had saved him from such a fall?!

- Thank you for that... - the red-eyed man told him.

- It doesn't matter! -.

SMG3 stood up from the ground and managed to see that almost the entire place was dark. Thus he realized that he was no longer in the Mushroom Kingdom.

- Where are we? -.

- Welcome to the Cap Kingdom! - answered the little hat - Or what's left of it... -.

Immediately afterwards, the hat turned on one of the lamps that was near them and revealed a horrible landscape, since all the houses (Which were also shaped like hats) were destroyed and/or burned... There was broken glass everywhere...

- What the hell happened here?! -.

- That damn Hooded Man... - the hat began to narrate - This morning, everything was relatively fine, until his ship appeared in the sky... He started dropping bombs and destroying all the houses... -.

- Hey, calm down friend... I also lost my home a long time ago... I know it's hard, but it can be repaired - said 3, trying to make the hat feel better.

- The problem is that he took something that I can't replace... -.

- Can I know what it is? -.

Some tears began to come out of the eyes of the hat, while that 3 was just at his side, not knowing what to say.

- He took Tiara... My younger sister... -.

After saying those words, he wiped his tears and turned to look at SMG3 again.

- That's why I was following the Hood, but then I saw how he took your friend and how you tried to save him... So when I saw him throw you, I saved you... -.

Silence was present for a few seconds, until 3 smiled at the little hat.

- Don't worry, let's save SMG4 and Tiara! - he said.

- Really?! -.

- Yes, we just have to know where they are going and we will rescue them there -.

The little hat was happy, but at the same time he seemed somewhat sad.

- But all the ships in this Kingdom were destroyed... I know that there is another Ship in the neighboring Kingdom, but we can't go... -.

- Why not? - asked 3 somewhat confused.

- Because the Hooded companions are still in "The Tower of the Top Hat" and there is what can take us to the Neighboring Kingdom -.

- Don't worry, between the two of us we are going to beat them! -.

Then the little hat and the laugh, then SMG3 se He adjusted his gloves, but when he was going to adjust his cap, he realized that it was missing.

-Hey, haven't you seen a purple cap with a skull around here? -.

- No... I think you shut up when the Hood threw you... - the little hat responded.

- Ahhhh... -.

The red-eyed man was a little upset, since that cap was special to him.

- I have an idea! -.

- Which? - asked 3.

Immediately afterwards, the hat began to spin several times. It started to raise some dust, so SMG3 closed his eyes and when he opened them again, he saw that his hat was gone, but his cap was now there, like new (obviously it had a break).

- But what!? - asked 3 surprised.

Immediately afterwards, eyes came out of the cap, and that's when he realized that the little hat had transformed into his cap.

- How about? -.

- It's great! - answered 3.

He then picked it up from the ground. For him it was incredible, since it looked like the original (Although he already knew that it was actually the Talking-Ghost-Hat).

- You can use me, I don't mind! - Told him.

So SMG3 put it on, now they were officially a team. They began to move along what appeared to be a huge metal bridge.

- By the way, my name is Cappy! -.

- Nice name, mine is SMG3, but you can call me 3 -.

They began to advance further and further, but there was too much fog.

-Try to throw one of the light posts.

SMG3 was very surprised by Cappy's request.

- That?! But you can get hurt! -.

- Don't worry, nothing bad is going to happen to me -.

The red-eyed man took Cappy and threw him against one of the light posts (He did it carefully so he wouldn't get hurt) and the light returned, showing that there was a little path made of a gray stone. They continued advancing along the path until they reached what seemed to be a lever, they lowered it between the two of them and another huge metal bridge appeared in front of them. After crossing it, they encountered some Goombas, which 3 easily defeated. There was also a red door.

- Throw me against the door! -.

- Cappy... Are you sure nothing bad is happening to you? -.

- Listen 3, I do this every day, we have a lot of strength, so nothing happens to us -.

SMG3 decided to trust Cappy and threw him towards the red door, which quickly broke, allowing the 2 friends to pass through. Once inside 3 he realized that there were no steps, there were only huge blocks of white stone.

- And now how are we going to go up? - asked 3 looking up.

- Mmmm... I know! Throw me at a frog! -.

- THAT?! Now you're going to kill a frog!? -.

Cappy began to laugh, while 3 did not understand the situation. A few seconds ago, Cappy had told him that he had too much strength and now he was asking him to throw him against a frog that had not done him any harm.

- Calm down, it's called capture and it doesn't hurt any animals -.

SMG3 hesitated for a few seconds, but then, he remembered that he was doing this for SMG4, so he grabbed Cappy and threw it at one of the frogs that was lying around. Suddenly he felt as if the frog was going to start absorbing him. Then when he opened his eyes again, he saw that he was in a kind of whirlpool, but with several images of frogs. After that, he opened his eyes again and when he saw his "hands" he realized that now it was a... a...

- CAPPY, WHY THE HELL AM I A FROG?! -.

- The name of capture means that you can control the creature you capture - the cap began to explain - Now you can jump high to climb to the top of the tower, after that I will explain how to get out of the capture -.

SMG3 began to jump very high, thanks to the fact that he was now a frog and in less than 5 minutes he had already reached the top inside the tower. Once there, they realized that there was another red door.

- To get out of the capture you just have to take me off, that is, take off your cap - he explained - It's easy, you have to close your eyes and imagine that you jump and knock down the cap -.

3 followed Cappy's steps perfectly and when he opened his eyes again, he saw that he was already in his body, while the frog looked like it was dead.

- Cappy... I think I already killed it... -.

- No, when you release the catch it stays stunned for a few seconds, it will be fine -.

The red-eyed man sighed, it was strange to think that he could now control animals or people with Cappy. But their thoughts were interrupted by a sudden noise, it was like something exploded right above them, so 3 threw Cappy against the red door and they both crossed. On the other side, there were more destroyed houses, as well as a large climb. When they reached the end of it, they realized that there was another Bowser Airship, only it was smaller and was being operated by 4 rabbits.

- Whoa, whoa, the boss warned us that someone was going to try to interfere with his plans - said one of the rabbits who had a green suit - Lucky that we THE BROODALS! We are going to prevent it.

Immediately afterwards, the rabbit jumped right in front of them and started throwing several hats at them, however, SMG3 counterattacked, using some bombs and firecrackers that he had in his pocket. After defeating the rabbit, a light pole appeared.

- Look, we can use that to go to the next Kingdom! - Cappy said excitedly.

So the red-eyed man threw him against the post and suddenly he turned into a ball of electricity, then they began to go to the next Kingdom... What they ignored was just the beginning... The Beginning of an odyssey...
