Cappy and Mario might seem like firm friends in Super Mario Odyssey, enjoying the kind of close bond which is only formed when combine your talents to defeat a common foe, but that doesn't mean the sentient headgear isn't above a little spot of premeditated murder.
A bizarre glitch has been uncovered in the game which allows Cappy to slay his host, but it requires quite a bit of jiggery-pokery to achieve.
First up, you can only do this in the game's co-op mode, with a second player controlling Cappy's movements. Head to any kingdom which features a Piranha Plant enemy and feed it a rock (the one shown in this example is in the Luncheon Kingdom). Once this is done, capture the plant and then attack it with Cappy. The plant vanishes, seemingly taking Mario with it. The only way to make him return is to fast-travel to a previous checkpoint.
We imagine Nintendo will deal with this glitch in a future update, but we love seeing players break games like this. Have you found any other bugs on your travels?

That's Hilarious 😆
Oh I'm finally first for once.
I guess matpat was right after all
Makes me wonder if Mario was ever in control of Cappy in the first place or he's just one of his many victims o_o
Already thought of a plot:
Tiara completely takes over Peach and rules the Mushroom Kingdom, her plan is to take over the world. Cappy kills Mario and sides with his sister. He helps her take over enemy bases by infiltrating them with captured guards until every building has a giant cap on it. It all began with Mario 100% completing Odyssey...
Oh, gosh... !!
Oh wow. Didn't take a month for a Mario game to ruin children's childhoods in one go. Bravo Mario. Well done
That sure was a hatter of life and death! Heh, got a good chuckle out of that video.
World domination run by hats. This needs a standalone game!
So it allows you to put a cappy in his a..
@Zyph already has a movie. Meet the Robinsons anyone?
Cant believe Mario is finally dead! Guess its time for Knack 2 to take over
De-CAP-itated
@Sir_Anthony It can be a strategy games where you have to be a tyrannical ruler of the mushroom kingdom, but make sure all the toads and such don't know what's going on behind the scenes.
First it was masks, now it's sentient hats.
Figures that it would be in 2 player mode. I love the game immensely, but much like Galaxy, the 2 player mode just feels like a last minute add on.

Cappy's origin.
i found out that glitch on day one. besides that glitch works with almost every capture target.
I knew it! It's all part of Bowser's grand plan to let Cappy befriend Mario just to kill him when he's unsuspecting. Bravo, Bowser, Bravo!
@stevenw45 I was wondering if it worked with other enemies, there doesn't seem to be anything particular to piranha plants in the video.
I haven't tried co-op mode yet, but it's surprising that Cappy can still fly around when Mario has captured an enemy. Who is throwing him? How is Mario still controlling the enemy without Cappy?
@DanElectrode There is a glitch I found when capturing a Charging Chuck on one life, I killed it, it was respawning and I threw Cappy out past it so that it could possess the Charging Chuck on it's return flight, and just as iit respawned, it killed me and Cappy flew back at the same time, so I saw the death animation, but there was a Mario Hat on the Charging Chuck as if I had possessed it.
Nice.
