Currently the Elytra from Minecraft is listed as a reference to the Wing Cap. I attempted to remove this on the basis that gliding in video games isn't an obscure concept, but it was reverted because they have the same mechanic of swooping up and down to gain momentum. I still don't really see this as an intentional reference though, and I've played other games that have gliding items with identical mechanics (specifically all three editions of Disney Infinity and Lego DC Supervillains come to mind). I'm convinced this is just a common video game mechanic and not intentionally a reference. Of course, this could easily be settled if anyone finds anything from Mojang developers specifically mentioning the Wing Cap as an inspiration for the Elytra.

:Exactly, I think this entry is pretty weak. A loose concept using similar controls to something that appeared in ''one game'' doesn't seem intentional to me, and I can't find any developer comments or such relating the Elytra with the Wing Cap. I'd say to remove it. {{User:Scrooge200/sig}} 15:02, June 20, 2020 (EDT) | :Exactly, I think this entry is pretty weak.

::Well, I was able to find [https://twitter.com/_tomcc/status/651042141397979136 a tweet] by one of the developers just before the Elytra was revealed comparing a "secret upcoming feature" to Mario 64, so I guess we can keep it since they at least acknowledged the similarity. --{{User:Waluigi Time/sig}} 15:27, June 20, 2020 (EDT) | ::Well, I was able to find [https://twitter.com/_tomcc/status/651042141397979136 a tweet] by one of the developers just before the Elytra was revealed comparing a "secret upcoming feature" to Mario 64, so I guess we can keep it since they at least acknowledged the similarity. --{{User:Waluigi Time/sig}} 15:27, June 20, 2020 (EDT) | ||
