Fly

Flying is a move that is related to jumping. It lets the player float in the air for a while. Enemies such as Fly Guy and Paragoomba can fly. The hero of a game can fly with this move.

The first game where Mario could fly was the little-known Super Mario Bros. Special, where there was a wing power-up that allowed him to fly through the air as if swimming.

The second game where Mario could fly was Super Mario Bros. 2. When Mario, Luigi, Princess Toadstool or Toad defeated Pidgit and used his Magic Carpet, they are able to fly.

In Super Mario Bros. 3, when Mario picked up a Super Leaf, Mario turns into Raccoon Mario and is able to fly. A similar item is the Tanooki Suit in the same game. With this one, Mario can turn into Tanooki Mario. He is than not only able to fly, but can also turn in a statue.

In Super Mario World, Mario can pick up a Cape Feather to turn into Cape Mario, another flying form. In the same game, when Mario rides on a Blue Yoshi, and he ate a Koopa Shell- or, alternately, if he's riding any colored Yoshi and either has the Yoshi eat a Blue Shell or grab Yoshi's Wings, the dinosaur gains his Winged Yoshi form and is also able to fly. Mario can also steal Lakitu's Cloud, and that also allows him to fly.

In Super Mario 64, Mario can pick up a Wing Cap, he's again able to fly, and this time, he must first perform a Triple Jump. In the DS version, the cap was replaced with a Feather. Only in the VS mode of this version, can every character fly (But are actually Yoshis using the other characters' caps).

In Super Mario Land 2, Mario can pick a Carrot to turn into Rabbit Mario, which can float safety to ground after jumping.

In Wario: Master of Disguise, Wario can turn into Wicked Wario, and blow into the Microphone to fly.

In Super Mario Galaxy, When Mario uses the Red Star and becomes Flying Mario, he must jump and Spin in midair to start flying for a limited time.

In New Super Mario Bros., the player can fly if he defeats Lakitu with a Fire Flower and then jumps on his cloud.

In New Super Mario Bros Wii, the player is able to fly after obtaining a Propeller Mushroom and shaking the Wii Remote.
