Cap Kingdom — Hatteran

The first kingdom you visit, this will be the intro and tutorial just like in SMO. Instead of Bonneton, you will now be in Hatteran, a different city in the Cap Kingdom. You will find Cappy and reunite, then learn of a new danger. (view Storyline).

The evil Queen Crown has been hired by Bowser to make sure nobody in the kingdom can try to stop his plans. As you try to climb the rope ladder to her blimp, a royal guard cuts it, leaving no way to reach her. Now you can enter the gate in the Royal Garden, a sub-area just below the blimp.

The Royal Garden (Sub-Area)
You begin in the back of the square garden, and must pull three levers on the right, left, and front sides of the garden. The right side leads to a hedge maze with goombas and spinies. Find the center to pull the lever.

The left side is a parkour challenge using the flowers previously seen in SMO. Like the ones used for Rango’s boss fight, you can use these flowers to fly through the air and reach the second lever.

The final lever is straight ahead, where you must utilize the games first capture. By capturing a Royal Guard, you have the ability to throw spears. While this doesn’t seem too helpful at first, throwing spears against walls actually gets them stuck in the wall, and you can use them to swing upwards. Use this mechanic to climb the hedges and walls and reach the last lever.

Back in the center of the garden, the rope ladder is dangling, and you can climb up to the boss fight. (See Queen Crown). Now you can take her blimp and fly to the next kingdom on your new adventure!
