In the [[remake]] of ''Super Mario 64'', ''[[Super Mario 64 DS]]'', [[Toad]] reveals that the cap Mario wears is special, and that if it were to get blown off of Mario, he would have nothing but bad luck. As hinted in ''Super Mario 64 DS'', Mario's Cap may be a source of his strength, though this does not apply in other games where Mario can have his hat off. If Mario loses his cap, he can get it back by going back to the course in which he lost it to find it. However, if he instead gets a [[Power Star]] from another course, he can simply talk to Toad (who will find and wear Mario's Cap) and get it back from him. Mario's Cap appears in the following courses, even when he is locked: [[Bob-omb Battlefield]] (Star 2 or 4), [[Whomp's Fortress]] (Star 1 or 2), [[Jolly Roger Bay]], and [[Cool, Cool Mountain]] (Star 2). Mario's Cap can also be found in most levels when playing as [[Yoshi]]. Yoshi, [[Luigi]], and [[Wario]] can pick up the cap, which gives them the appearance and abilities of Mario (though they retain their voices) until they lose it, get hurt, or finish a level. | In the [[remake]] of ''Super Mario 64'', ''[[Super Mario 64 DS]]'', [[Toad]] reveals that the cap Mario wears is special, and that if it were to get blown off of Mario, he would have nothing but bad luck.

The cap's importance to Mario is stressed again at the end of ''[[Super Mario Galaxy 2]]'', when [[Luma (character)|Luma]] takes it with him as a souvenir before returning to the [[Comet Observatory]] with [[Rosalina]], and Mario appears shocked to no longer have it. Following this, Mario is seen capless throughout the credits, but regains his cap when he is playable again. The same thing happens when the player is Luigi. | The cap's importance to Mario is stressed again at the end of ''[[Super Mario Galaxy 2]]'', when [[Luma (character)|Luma]] takes it with him as a souvenir before returning to the [[Comet Observatory]] with [[Rosalina]], and Mario appears shocked to no longer have it.
