| The '''Wing Cap''', or '''Winged Cap''',<ref>{{cite|title=''Nintendo Magazine System'' (AU) Issue #44|date=November 1996|language=en-au|page=28}}</ref><ref>{{cite|author=Bath, Prima|title=''Ultimate Nintendo 64 Pocket Power Guide, 1999 Edition'' Prima's Official Strategy Guide|page=58|publisher=[[Prima Games]]|date=April 21, 1999|language=en-us|isbn=0-7615-2083-X}}</ref> is an item found in ''[[Super Mario 64]]''. It is [[Mario]]'s signature power-up in ''Super Mario 64'', being shown on the game's box art and a majority of its [[List of merchandise|merchandise]].
| | The '''Wing Cap''' is an item found in ''[[Super Mario 64]]''. When wearing a Wing Cap, [[Mario]] becomes [[Wing Mario]] and has the ability to fly. Mario can perform a [[Jump#Triple Jump|Triple Jump]] or be shot from a [[cannon]] and begin flying. To obtain the item, Mario must find a red [[Exclamation Mark Block|! Block]] and hit it. A Wing Cap will then pop out of the ! Block. |
|

|
| ==History==
| | [[File:Wingcapblock.jpg|thumb|left|The [[Exclamation Mark Block|! Block]] in which the Wing Cap can be found.]] |
| ===''Super Mario 64'' / ''Super Mario 64 DS''===
| | As a collectible item, the Wing Cap itself was largely omitted from ''[[Super Mario 64 DS]]'', which replaced it with a single feather from the cap's wings (referred to as simply "Wings"); however, the Wing Cap was still granted upon obtaining this item. Only Mario could use Wings, which gave him identical abilities to those seen in ''Super Mario 64''; if another [[characters|character]] struck a box containing Wings, they would simply earn a [[Power Flower]]. However, a lone, traditional-style Wing Cap could be found in one of the game's multiplayer stages; if [[Yoshi]] (who, along with other members of [[Yoshi (species)|his kind]], was the only playable character in multiplayer mode) put on a [[Wario]] or [[Luigi]] cap, he could use this Wing Cap, again differing it from the Feather. Yoshi can even use it without the caps and grow wings on his body, similar to the blue shell in ''[[Super Mario World]]''. It is possible that this one Wing Cap and its strange mechanics were added simply to make the concept of characters flying in multiplayer mode more fair for the mode in question; however, it may have also been a sort of remnant of [[List of Super Mario 64 DS beta elements|beta programming stages]] where all (or at least most) characters could fly with the Wing Cap. (Indeed, an early promotional video of ''Super Mario 64 DS'', then called ''Super Mario 64x4'', did depict all four characters under the effects of an unseen Wing Cap, possibly the aforementioned Wings.) |
| In ''Super Mario 64'', when wearing a Wing Cap, Mario becomes [[Wing Mario]] and gains the ability to [[fly]] and slow his falls (when the player holds {{button|n64|A}}), like with the [[Super Leaf]] and [[Cape Feather]] from previous games. Mario can begin flying by performing a [[Triple Jump]] (which can be done in place in that form) or by getting shot from a [[cannon]]. The item can be obtained only from a [[Cap Block|red block]], which becomes solid upon Mario hitting the [[Cap Switch|Wing Cap Switch]] in the [[Tower of the Wing Cap]] course. The wings last for a minute before wearing off. Other than the Tower of the Wing Cap and [[Over the Rainbows|Wing Mario Over the Rainbow]], the Wing Cap appears in three courses: the [[Bob-omb Battlefield]], [[Lethal Lava Land]], and [[Shifting Sand Land]]. There is also a red block on the roof of the [[Peach's Castle|Mushroom Castle]], and when all [[Power Star]]s are collected, the nearby cannon is unlocked, allowing the player character to blast onto the roof.

| While Wing Mario returns in ''[[Super Mario 64 DS]]'', the original Wing Cap is replaced by a white feather (with both the form and the item referred to as '''Wings'''<ref>{{cite|format=PDF|url=cdn02.nintendo-europe.com/media/downloads/games_8/emanuals/nintendo_ds_21/Manual_NintendoDS_SuperMario64DS_EN.pdf|title=''Super Mario 64 DS'' instruction booklet|page=18|language=en-us|date=2004|publisher=Nintendo of America|author=Nintendo}}</ref> in English, although instances of "'''Wing cap'''" remain in-game) that only Mario can use, which can drop from red blocks. The form does not slow down descent as effectively in this version, as Mario can now take fall damage even when slowly descending. It is not possible for [[Yoshi]], [[Luigi]], or [[Wario]] to acquire wings in the single-player mode of the game; if any of them hit a block that would normally contain Wings, a [[Power Flower (Super Mario 64 DS)|Power Flower]] comes out instead. However, the feathers are located in [[! Block#Super Mario 64 / Super Mario 64 DS|VS Item Block]]s in two of the [[Super Mario 64 DS#VS mode|VS mode]] courses: [[Sunshine Isles]] and [[Battle Fort]]. They add wings to the character's [[cap]] regardless of who picks them up. In the case of Yoshi, he [[Winged Yoshi|grows wings on his back]]. The Wings appear in the same location as the Wing Cap in ''Super Mario 64'' but with the addition of [[Snowman's Land]] and [[Tall, Tall Mountain]].

| ===''Mario Party''===
| | There is also a Wing Cap on the roof of [[Princess Peach's Castle]]. When Mario earns all 120 stars a cannon will allow him to easily access the roof, however the roof is accessible at any time by other, much harder means. |
| Mario can be seen wearing the Wing Cap on one of ''[[Mario Party]]''{{'}}s title screens, where he is shown flying through the air in [[Mario's Rainbow Castle]].
| |
| | |
| ===''Minecraft''===
| |
| In the Super Mario Mash-up in ''[[Minecraft]]'', the original game's feather is replaced by one of the wings to the Wing Cap.
| |
| | |
| ===Other appearances===
| |
| In both versions of [[Nintendo Monopoly]], there is a [[Coin Block]]/[[Brick Block]] card that reads "Purchase a Wing Cap - Pay $50."

| The theme "'''Powerful Mario'''" also plays when Mario rides on a [[Koopa Shell]] or becomes [[Vanish Mario]]. Also, in the [[Nintendo DS]] remake, a slower-paced version plays when [[Hoot]] is carrying Mario, and a different slower-paced version plays when Mario turns into [[Balloon Mario]] after obtaining a Power Flower.
| |
| | |
| This theme is a cover of the music heard in ''[[Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island]]'', called "'''Powerful Infant'''," when [[Baby Mario]] transforms into [[Superstar Mario]], as well as the music played in certain bonus rooms in said game. "Powerful Infant" is in turn a cover of [[Super Star (theme)|the music]] that plays when Mario acquires a [[Super Star]] in the original ''[[Super Mario Bros.]]'' but with an added countermelody. This theme was reused in ''[[New Super Mario Bros.]]'' as the invincibility theme, and it was later rearranged for ''[[Super Mario Galaxy]]'' and ''[[Super Mario Galaxy 2]]'' for the equivalent [[Rainbow Star]] power-up.

| *In the [[Wii U]] version of ''[[nwiki:Rayman Legends|Rayman Legends]]'', there is an exclusive Mario costume for Rayman. If Rayman flutters while wearing this outfit, wings appear on his cap, referencing the Wing Cap. | | *The Wing Cap was Mario's trademark Power-Up in ''Super Mario 64'', being shown of the game's box art and a majority of its [[merchandise]]. |
| *In a preview for ''[[Super Mario Land 2: 6 Golden Coins]]'', the gliding power-up was described as a winged "Cap" rather than the [[Carrot]], and the screenshot was blacked out.<ref>{{cite|title=''Nintendo Magazine System'' (AU) Issue #5|date=August 1993|page=54}}</ref>
| | *When falling from above, if the {{button|n64|A}} button is held, Mario's descent will be slowed much like when using a cape in ''[[Super Mario World]]'' and he will not take any damage from falling unless he used a Long Jump. |
| | | *When Mario obtains a Wing Cap, the [[music]] that begins to play is the same tune as the music that plays when Mario acquires a [[Starman]] in the original ''[[Super Mario Bros.]]'', but with an added melody. A version of this same melody appeared in ''[[Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island]]'', when [[Baby Mario]] got a Star. The theme was reused in ''[[New Super Mario Bros.]]'' as the invincibility theme, and was later remixed for ''[[Super Mario Galaxy]]'' and ''[[Super Mario Galaxy 2]]'' for the equivalent [[Rainbow Star]] power-up. |
| ==References==
| | *The [[Red Star]] from ''Super Mario Galaxy'' can be seen as the successor to the Wing Cap as it also allows Mario to fly. |
