Talk:Cape Feather

Why is the feather from Super Mario RPG on here? It doesn't provide a cape at all. Either it should be removed from the article or the whole article should be moved simply to "Feather". ~ Joshi 04:40, 24 April 2009 (EDT)

"Wing Feather"
Why is the Feather that turns Mario in Wing Mario in SM64DS merged to Cape Feather? I know they're both feathers, but they look different and turn Mario into something else. Although both Power-Ups (Cape Mario and Wing Mario) make Mario fly, they have different attributes (Cape Mario: The cape on Mario's neck, Wing Mario: the wings on his cap), and the method of flying is different as well (Cape Mario: First a Jump, then up & down simulative (if I'm correct), Wing Mario: Triple Jump, then steer (Up = Dive, Down = raise) (again, if I'm correct)). I don't think I'll start a proposal yet, but I think to do either these things with this "Wing Feather": I'd choose the second option myself, but I think you all would choose the first option instead. But if we make a new article, there are two more options: I would choose the second option (again), but I think that would be a conjectural name, so I think the first one's more official. But I might be wrong. Tell me what you think about it.
 * Split it from Cape Feather, and merge it to Wing Cap (as they got pretty much the same effect)
 * Split it from Cape Feather, and make a new article for it
 * Call the new article "Feather (Super Mario 64 DS)"
 * Call it "Wing Feather" instead

How about a third option; merge it to the Wing Cap article in a new section. The two items have the same function and the only reason why the wing feather became a separate item was for gameplay reasons. So that other characters cannot turn directly into Wing Mario.-- 17:46, 22 October 2010 (UTC)

Oooh, good one. Although it's more like a sub-option for the first one, it is an acceptable option. Such thing also happened to Star Hill, right? Only with a different reason.

The official name is "Wings" (seen in the manual). Go figure.

Put Super Mario 64 (DS) info somewhere else
This is discussed in depth above, but no action was ever taken that I can see. In short, the "feather" from Super Mario 64 DS looks nothing like the Cape Feather, is called Wings both in game and in the manual, and has only a vaguely similar effect. I'm proposing three options here:

Option 1: Remove Super Mario 64/Super Mario 64 DS from this article, place info about the DS item on Wing Cap. Option 2: Remove Super Mario 64/Super Mario 64 DS from this article, make new article for the DS item (and move the article currently at the name "Wings" accordingly as well, of course). Option 3: Do nothing.

Option 1

 * 1) Per proposal/comments above. I think this is the better option than making a new page, since both items do the exact same thing.
