So, Odyssey's out, as you know. It's already breaking the internet, XD

But anyway, I wanna talk about Cappy, Dreamy Luigi and Possession. I recall talking about it and how Meta Possession was far too much for them, but I finally came to understand what Meta Possession actually was. Apparently, Possession itself is considered as the power to possess people only, and other subsets of Possession cover other limitations, such as possession of inanimate objects only. Meta Possession says that they can possess multiple things, pretty much anything. That doesn't necessarily extend to extremities such as possessing a higher dimension unless such a feat was already shown.

Now, about Cappy and Dreamy Luigi... First, Cappy.

He definitely applies to this. He has been shown possessing people, animals, robots, objects, electricity itself, and he even possessed actual people in the promotional trailers. Heck, he possessed the Super Mario Odyssey logo and walked around, and could do so to letters and numbers on the screen. He can also seemingly possess the game and activate a cutscene in Odyssey, so that's absolutely ridiculous. I would definitely say Cappy has Meta Possession.

Now, Dreamy Luigi. He also has this. Originally, I believed he could only possess and manipulate Luiginary Works, but I realized that the Luiginary Works are fragments of Luigi's imagination. He could realistically possess anything if Luigi's mind said so. I mean, he literally possessed the concept of gravity itself, yet can't possess a wall and make it open? He already possessed a pillar, so a wall should be nothing. And what's more, is he can enter and power up Mario and Antasma, who are not Luiginary Works.

With all this said, apparently... Cappy and Dreamy Luigi do have Meta Possession. I'd say it's PIS that they can't possess much else outside of what the game allows, which honestly makes sense to me.

Though, for fun, which one has it better? Cappy, for sure. Forcing cutscene activation and possessing text on a screen is a lot more impressive than possessing the concept of gravity, and Dreamy Luigi is still, in a way, limited to what Luigi's imagination allows him to possess. Not to mention how easy it is for Cappy in comparison to Dreamy Luigi.

Anyway, I'm also gonna say Cappy is not outside help. Like F.L.U.D.D. and Master Luma, two guys we don't consider outside help, Cappy stays quiet for a majority of the adventure, and desires to stay with Mario. They offer powers to Mario in similar ways, too. So I'll be adding Cappy to Mario's profile soon enough.
