** It's specifically noted that he's being celebrated as the guest of honor this year for his help in restoring New Donk City's power supply, which is why the whole festival is about his original adventure with Pauline and Donkey Kong. Presumably in other years there are other honored guests or features (much like real-world cities will have different themes for their own yearly festivals--the area's unique arts and music, a famous historical event, a particular person who was born there, etc.).

* Bowser's minions can spot you even when you've captured someone or something, but friendly [=NPC=]s don't, including your own brother cower in fear.

** Maybe he doesn't want to get his fancy shoes dirty when running around in sand or snow or whatever, and took them off while running around. Plus, Bowser DoesNotLikeShoes. So because he wants to be formal for the wedding, he's probably trying to wear them as little as possible.

* Why do New Donkers operate the souvenir shop in Bowser's Kingdom rather than Koopas? Koopas have been associated with Bowser since VideoGame/SuperMarioBros and they already exist in game as friendly [=NPCs=].

** Japan's modern-day self-obsession aside, this is likely one of his many MANY fortresses. Bowser's Castle is his seat of power, Neo Bowser City is his capital, and this is one of his many fortresses and outposts. Most likely it is a local base of operations similar to his Disco-esque castle in the Valley of Bowser or his amusement park in the Sprixie Kingdom. He likes to experiment a little!

It's also in the sky, which provides a closer launching point to the Moon Kingdom.

** To be fair, Cookatiel's puke was the same color and consistency as the stew's broth, so maybe it puked broth? Weirder things have happened in terms of biology in the ''Super Mario'' universe.

** Maybe because there's nothing there for the wedding.

** I suspect there is a ritual involved with the Chaos Heart and the marriage was only part of the summoning. Since none of the prep work is being done here, there's no cause for concern.

** Spitballing, but considering everything Bowser stole in ''Odessey'' was to furnish the wedding, maybe he wanted the electricity to power something. Maybe lights and music equipment for the dance?

** Speaking of which, what about Kamek? It’s been established that he’s the one who [[ParentalSubstitute raised Bowser]] since he was a baby, which makes him the closest thing Bowser has to a father. Also, he’s often portrayed as [[TheDragon Bowser’s right-hand man]], which logically means that he must be closer to Bowser than most of his other minions. So, why wasn’t he invited?”

***But if this explanation were true, wouldn’t Cappy revert to white top hat, and not Mario’s cap?


Added DiffLines:

**Alternatively, this is just a thing Cappy can do, but, it was likely a one-off thing, because, as seen with the T-Rex, capturing big things takes a lot of energy. Bowser is pretty big. So, to add a second capture on top of that probably took '' even more ''. So, it was a case of desperate times calling for desperate measures.
