Toad does not have a hat, it's his head,...
Bowser Jr.'s mother is an old crazy Japanese man,...

The Mario universe is weird as fuck.

It was a wig, Toad was going through chemo at the time.

Wait, so since Super Mushrooms have the eyes, are they just baby Toads?

Maybe Toads that can remove the mushroom on their head are actually just wearing prosthetics.

Well yeah, in Odyssey they all wear hats so Mario can't possess them. Unless you're implying they're wearing hats on top of hats

Toads' heads are softer, just like a mushroom head, so you can squeeze it a little to fit small helmets (that explains the Hammer Bros Suit), also they like to wear thin elastic coloured caps over their heads (that exaplains the patches from Paper Mario) and they sometimes use fake hair as a fashion element (again, explains PM stuff).

There you go, solved.

Why would it be a hat? Why would every Toad in the kingdom wear the identical hat? How come there was never a toad not wearing a hat? Is this some kind of fascist dictatorship where hat wearing is mandatory and noncompliance results in deletion? IS THAT WHAT HAT SUPPORTERS WANT?

He used his hat as a parachute in the very first episode.

I never wanted to believe that Toad was some short old man with thinning hair wearing a gigantic mushroom hat to cover up his Male Pattern Baldness. I prefer it to be part of him, like a real Mushroom. Glad they confirmed it, but I never really doubted it was part of his head.. It fits the Mario world much more like that.

Mario never came from Brooklyn.
Toad's mushroomhead was never a hat.
The Koopa Kids were never Bowser's children.

Nintendo is slowly but surely killing the childhoods of all those who believed the cartoon's lore to be canon.

New theory:

Toad's mushroom is indeed part of his head.

However, it can be detached, like a hat.

The way this works is Toad has two brains.

It's a way of reaffirming dominance over the lore so that future third party projects (upcoming movie...) won't be loosely interpreting their own canon.
Remember how they sent detailled informations on how Bowser is supposed to hold a cup of tea for Wreck-It Ralph, and Mario + Rabbids only could happen because the creators were big Mario buffs.
