In ''Super Mario World'', the cape form's abilities are much like [[Raccoon Mario]] before it, which in fact was [[List of Super Mario World pre-release and unused content|originally]] going to be in the game. It can be obtained by getting a [[Cape Feather]]. The '''Cape''' (or '''Magic Cape''')<ref>''[[Prima Games|Playing With Super Power: Nintendo Super NES Classics eGuide]]'', ''Super Mario World'' Characters Tab.</ref> allows Mario (or Luigi) to fly indefinitely through levels and attack enemies by spinning it around (using {{button|snes|X}} or {{button|snes|Y}}).

If the player holds down either {{button|snes|A}} or {{button|snes|B}} while falling with Caped Mario, the player can float down slowly. Also, if Mario [[dash|runs]] at maximum speed and then the player presses and holds {{button|snes|A}} to [[Spin Jump|spin-jump]], Mario will fly.

Flight is done by running until Mario spreads out his arms, then jumping while holding {{button|snes|Y}}; the initial height depends on how long {{button|snes|B}} was held. Pressing forward on {{button|snes|Pad}} mid-flight makes Mario descend and speed up, while pressing backward makes him ascend; greater descents generally lead to higher ascents. Mario can also bounce off stomp-able enemies mid-flight. If the player rams the ground during flight, it will cause a quake that instantly defeats all onscreen enemies on the ground. If Caped Mario touches an enemy while flying, he will automatically spin-jump in midair and fall, instead of taking damage. By releasing {{button|snes|Y}} and holding {{button|snes|B}}, Mario can stop flying and glide down slowly. After the Cape has attached to Mario's shoes and inflated, Mario can turn around by spinning mid-flight when the player presses {{button|snes|X}} if {{button|snes|Y}} is being used to fly, or vice versa. If Mario climbs a climbable object while flying, he will retain the properties of flight.<ref>[https://www.suppermariobroth.com/post/633609656174067712 Supper Mario Broth]</ref>

[[Bowser]] briefly uses the Caped form in volume 4 of ''[[Super Mario-kun]]''. Bowser steals and uses Mario's Cape Feather from the [[Item Storage]], transforming him into Mantle Koopa (マソトクッパ). Bowser attempts to fly and attack Mario, but he fails and crushes him.

====''WarioWare: D.I.Y. Showcase''====

Caped Mario appears in ''[[WarioWare: D.I.Y. Showcase]]'' in the [[microgame]] [[Super Koopa (microgame)|Super Koopa]], where he must collect [[coin]]s while dodging [[Super Koopa (enemy)|Super Koopa]]s.

 

Cape Mario also appears in the ''[[WarioWare Gold]]'' microgame [[Super Mario World (WarioWare Gold)|Super Mario World]], where, once again, he has to collect coins, except that this time there are no Super Koopas.
