Original Note:
This is misleading. The creator, Shigeru Miyamoto has said he wears a hat because he had very few dots available to draw the character, and trying to draw hair that moves while you run would've been very complicated. So we gave him a hat to make it easier to draw. https://www.npr.org/sections/alltechconsidered/2015/06/19/415568892/q-a-shigeru-miyamoto-on-the-origins-of-nintendos-famous-characters#:~:text=He%20wears%20a%20hat%20because,make%20him%20still%20look%20realistic.
