Flying Mario

Flying Mario is a form taken by Mario in Super Mario Galaxy. In this form, Mario's hat and shirt become black, while his overalls become red. It actives whenever he touches a red star. While in this form, spinning while jumping allows Mario to fly. It is first used when Mario returns to the Gateway Galaxy to collect 100 Purple Coins. However, it is a fairly useless ability as it can only be used to fly around the observatory.
