Mario was given his hat in his first appearance in ''[[Donkey Kong (game)|Donkey Kong]]'' because of the limited advances in video game graphics when the game was made. A red cap was added because programmers found it difficult to create the hair movement that would occur when the character jumped.<ref>http://www.gamecubicle.com/features-mario-nintendo_shining_star.htm</ref>

The hat has appeared with Mario ever since then, but was unimportant until ''[[Super Mario 64]]'' which the first game in which Mario can lose his hat. When the hat is lost (by having it stolen by an [[Ukiki]] or [[Klepto]] or blown off by a gust of wind), Mario takes more damage when attacked. The same happened in Mario's next platformer, ''[[Super Mario Sunshine]]'', but with the added effect of gradually losing health due to the heat. Even if hatless Mario finds some shade and gets under it, it is still possible for him to take damage from the heat of the sun. The only enemies that steal Mario's cap are [[Swipin' Stu]]s.
