It's a plothole. That's definitely a hat. But Toad would look weird as hell with a bare head.
Is Toad Wearing a Hat or Is That His Head? (SMO spoilers)
- Thread starter chaobreaker
- Start date
I think the mushroom is his head, otherwise they are wearing hats on their hats in SMO and that's fucken weird

I'd like some ages attached to those who are claiming the mushroom cap is part of Toad's head – anyone who grew up watching the Super Mario Bros. Super Show had the truth drilled into our minds that it's just a hat.
Nintendo tried to pull this kind of revisionist history a couple of years ago by saying the Koopalings weren't actually Bowser's children after all, when that's how they were introduced and presented for years across the cartoons and games. I'm beginning to understand the frustrations of '70s Star Wars fans with the "Greedo shoots first" debacle 20 years ago when George Lucas edited that scene to be different that what they saw in theaters in 1977.

I couldn't pull in that channel on my TV antenna.

If you die in Captain Toad, the iris wipe is of a skull where the mushroom is part of it.
This is creepier than the bald Toad pic.
Oh hi MC! You should use the old Crushed avatar btw
The Koopalings are not Bowser's kids, SMB 3 is a stage production and Ludwig and the rest are actors playing the parts of Bower's kids.
That joke from Toad is him making fun of the fact that people think it is a hat. He is saying "and neither of us wants to see that." because the reality would horrific as he would rip the top of his head off.
Ha- no. It means no one wants to see his bald ugly head. Not that his head would rip off. Come on now. Lol
Hasn't it been established that all of Mario's adventures are effectively acting? Is Bowser Jr. really any different?
It's settled guys.
Eh, still ambiguous. Could mean either that it's part of his head or he just has a really disgusting head under there. He's always wearing that hat, so I bet it's really sweaty and dank.
It's like the sneetches. There was a group with mushroom heads and others with no mushroom heads. Then somebody came and gave them mushroom hats now nobody who is who.
I grew up watching the Super Show. But I realize that a property licensed out to a third party from a different country doesn't mean shit. Do you want to take ANY part of the Bob Hoskins movie as canon? #TeamHead
Is this the video game version of the AD chicken dance? Has anyone on this forum ever even seen a mushroom?
How about both? Think of it as hair. It grows on his head but is detachable. He can remove it without hurting himself but it's also a natural part of his head.
Nope. Toad explicitly says "neither of us" which implies he himself would not want to do it. If it was a hat why wouldn't he just 'tip his hat'? By making a hat tipping joke he is pointing to the fact that he isn't wearing a hat at all.
It is Occam's Razor people, he is a from the Mushroom Kingdom, he is named Toad(as in Toadstool), therefor he is a Mushroom-person. To say otherwise is you adding more than is actually there.
I don't know if that has been established within the games themselves but I believe that is how Nintendo(or maybe just Miyamoto) thinks of it.
I've always assumed hat. The cartoon pics, his helmets in other games, the Strikers x-ray pic, and especially his line in that Mario Party game confirm it for me.
The image on the Captain Toad death screen just looks like a stylistic choice to show a silhouette of his head + hat in the style of a skull, not necessarily his actual skull.

I can't believe we're all just accepting the hat/head binary here when the real answer is so obvious.
The toadstool is neither a hat nor Toad's head: it's hair.

Powerups are pretty magical and can compress stuff. Those helmets look huge to simply replace the cap instead of over them.
Also the who powerups are just clothe doesn't always apply as seen with Boo Mario.
Even only considering the "suit" powerups Penguin Mario's arms do not seem to be big enough to contain Mario's actual arms.
This is undoubtedly correct. Powerups are not just costumes, they fundamentally alter the morphology and physiology of the subject. A fur suit, for instance, would never cause the changes in gait and climbing ability associated with the cat power up in 3D world. An exception to this might be the cape from SMW.
Mario is body-horror now.
Both sides are wrong. It's a removable part of his head. Like how you can take a skull off a skeleton and it's still just as alive.
Are...
Are you implying that Toad's dead?
Why would you click this, you knew what it would say
In a world with dry bones and dry bones with the same wings as an alive koopa, who could even tell?
I'm honestly kind of split on the matter. My gut tells me it's their "head" but I always picture their "cap" as a turban, so who really knows? (Or cares?)
Is #TeamWig a real thing? Like, if it's their hair, but still detachable, that solves...both...problems...........
okay this thread is delightfully disturbing, I concede it can just be part of its head. Toadette is just weird.

It's settled guys.
IF only justice in the world would be as fast as ERA to resolve things...
A wig is just a hat that looks like hair. Toad's cap isn't simulating hair. It's closest to a turban, hence the bare chest vest and baggy pants to go along with it.
His ears are under the cap and the cap acts as an amplifier.
Now, this is nothing conclusive, and it only applies to Luigi, but I have uncovered some potential shocking video evidence of the truth.
I'll put it behind a spoiler tag for those that this might disturb:
(at around 1:40 is it didn't load correctly) Mario and Luigi are twins, so the veracity of Mario's mustache is also suspect
Holy Shit! Been reading this thread since yesterday and I just got this now!
/dead
Get the fuck out of here oh my god this is like the clouds bushes type of revelation for me.
I think it's both, think of it like a beanie that wraps around his bulbous head.
Totally not sorry.
I read the title as "Is Todd wearing a hat" and i thought this was gonna be an elaborate joke about Todd Howard or Capitan Todd.
I find it more amusing if Toad's caps were detachable hats, similar to how Koopas have detachable shells despite the fact that real tortoises' shells are attached to them. Though I would think that their heads are larger than the small head in the cartoons. Basically a middle ground: their heads are a bit larger than their face that it occupies part of the cap, but smaller than the mass of the mushroom cap would cover.
Thank you for reading.
Thank you for reading.
I assume it's a dick joke, but honestly, I have no idea either.
Still part of her head. They're like lekku.What are Toadette's pigtails made out of?
