Since it's gonna be deleted as I am creating the article, here is the text from it:

Backing up the Theory
•Many people that Toad's upper head really is just a hat, by stating that a drawing book states this and that in Paper Mario, you can see Toad's hat being lifted. However, this claim can be debunked. First of all, theories go against what is usually stated in the text, and things can be changed later by creators. For example, the 7 Koopalings were known to be Bowser's children as stated in several manuals, even though it was later confirmed that this is not the case. Secondly, the Paper Mario universe is an entirely separate reality, and even if this the same Mario, it is possible that this Toad differs than the ones in the normal reality. As in Mario and Luigi: Paper Jam, it is shown that these two games are in different realities.


 * Toads are not necessarily evil beings. Mat Pat stated this when he referred to the Toads as brainwashed. This indicates that Toads may not even know they are infected, but rather than the fungus changed their personality in to that of loving creatures.
