Mario using the Wing Cap.

The Wing Cap 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. Mario can begin flying by performing a Triple Jump or by getting shot from a cannon. The item can only be obtained from a red ! Block. While wearing the Wing Cap, the player can hold A Button to slow down Mario's descent, Mario also does not take any damage from falling if he was launched out of a cannon.

The Wing Cap is mostly omitted from Super Mario 64 DS, being replaced with a feather that can drop from the red ? Block. This item adds wings to the side of Mario's head. Only Mario can use the feather, which gives him identical abilities to the Wing Cap in Super Mario 64. It is not possible for Yoshi, Wario, or Luigi to acquire wings in the single player mode of the game. However, a single Wing Cap is located in one of the game's multiplayer stages; it adds wings to their cap regardless of who picks it up. In the case of Yoshi, he grow wings on his body.

Course Locations

There is also a Wing Cap on the roof of Princess Peach's Castle. When Mario earns all 120 (N64 original), or 150 (DS remake) Power Stars, a cannon allows him to easily access the roof, however the roof is accessible at any time by other, much harder means.

Media

This theme is the same tune as the music that plays when Mario acquires a Super Star in the original Super Mario Bros., but with an added melody. A version of this same melody appeared as the theme of Superstar Mario and certain rooms in Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island. 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. This song plays when you ride on a Koopa shell and when you ride Hoot for its remake.

Trivia

  • In the Wii U version of Rayman Legends, there is an exclusive outfit for Rayman that gives him Mario's clothing. If Rayman flutters while wearing this outfit, the wings appear on his cap, a reference to the Wing Cap.
  • In both versions of Nintendo Monopoly, there is a Coin Block/Brick Block card that reads "Purchase a Wing Cap - Pay $50".
  • 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.[1] It is possible that the design was decided later in development, and it might have resembled the Wing Cap.
