The '''Metal Cap''' is an accessory that makes its debut in ''[[Super Mario 64]]''. It is usually found in [[Cap Block|green block]]s, which become solid upon the player pressing the [[Cap Switch|Metal Cap Switch]] in the [[Behind the Waterfall|Cavern of the Metal Cap]]. The Metal Cap turns [[Mario]] into [[Metal Mario]], making him invulnerable and extremely heavy. Because of this, he can no longer make very high [[jump]]s or [[Long Jump]]s, cannot [[swim]], and sinks faster in [[quicksand]]. However, Metal Mario is also unaffected by [[toxic cloud|strange toxic cloud]]s and cannot drown. The effect lasts for 20 seconds. | The '''Metal Cap''' is an accessory that makes its debut in ''[[Super Mario 64]]''.

If Mario gets another power when the Metal Cap is in effect, they will combine. This is possible in [[Dire, Dire Docks]], where a green block is located directly beside a [[Cap Block|blue block]], and in [[Wet-Dry World]], where the player can drain the water in the downtown area and collect the Metal Cap, then jump down and collect the [[Vanish Cap]]. Collecting both gives Mario the powers of both his [[Vanish Mario|Vanish]] and Metal forms. An unused texture in the game shows a metallic version of the wings from the [[Wing Cap]], suggesting that it would have been possible to combine the Wing Cap with the Metal Cap as well.<ref>https://tcrf.net/Super_Mario_64_(Nintendo_64)/Unused_Textures#Metal_Wing_Cap</ref> | If Mario gets another power when the Metal Cap is in effect, they will combine.

In ''[[Super Mario 64 DS]]'', the Metal Cap itself does not appear. Instead, [[Wario]] becomes Metal Wario when he grabs a [[Power Flower (Super Mario 64 DS)|Power Flower]] but still retains the same properties as Metal Mario, and the music associated with the Metal Cap is retained. | In ''[[Super Mario 64 DS]]'', the Metal Cap itself does not appear.
