“Wearing the Wing Cap, you can soar through the sky.”
Narration, Super Mario 64

The Wing Cap, or Winged Cap,[1][2] 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 merchandise. When wearing a Wing Cap, Mario becomes Wing Mario and gains the ability to fly and slow his falls (when the player holds A Button), 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 red block, which becomes solid upon Mario hitting the Wing Cap Switch in the Tower of the Wing Cap course. The wings last for 60 seconds before wearing off.

Wings from Super Mario 64 DS
The "Wings" item from Super Mario 64 DS

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[3] 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 comes out instead. However, the feathers are located in VS Item Blocks in two of the 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 grows wings on his back.

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.

In the Super Mario Mash-up in Minecraft, the original game's feather is replaced by one of the wings to the Wing Cap.

Secret courses[edit]

There is also a red block on the roof of the Mushroom Castle. When all 120 (N64)/150 (DS) Power Stars are collected, the cannon on the Castle Grounds is unlocked, allowing players to easily access the roof.

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 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.
