Tower of the Wing Cap: Difference between revisions

The '''Tower of the Wing Cap''' is a castle tower in the sky that contains the [[Wing Cap]]'s [[! Switch]].

==Entry==

[[File:WingMario.jpg|thumb|left|Mario on the tower.]]

Although the sunlight will disappear once the ? or ! Switch has been activated, Mario can still return to the level by standing in the same spot and looking up. This is useful if one has not yet gained the red coins.

==Layout==

Upon entering the level, [[Mario]] will be granted with a Wing Cap which he can use to fly around with. Upon landing on the tower, Mario will be able to press the Red ! Switch, which in turn will make all the Red [[Exclamation Mark Block|! Block]]s solid. A [[Power Star]] can also be found here. This is the only level that Mario enters the stage flying with the Wing Cap. On the other levels, he must [[Triple Jump|triple jump]] to take off.

In ''[[Super Mario 64 DS]]'', the area was simply retitled '''? Switch''', though it is also called the '''? Switches of Rainbow Tower''' when the course is entered for the first time. The ! Switch was also changed to the [[? Switch]], which activated all of the [[Question Block|? Block]]s in the game. However, the feel of the level more or less stayed the same. In addition, only Mario is granted with wings upon entering; if any characters other than Mario access it, they still flip as they normally do during a level intro, but plummet into the abyss which immediately transports them back into the castle.

==Star==

There is only one level in this area. Using the wings that he is granted upon entering the level, Mario must fly around the area and collect the eight [[Red Coin]]s floating in the air in the four compass directions. The Red Coins are found in groups of two. Due to the fact that Mario slowly loses altitude while flying, he'll have to reenter the level and try again if he drops below the point the coins are at.
