Mario wearing the Metal Cap
The Metal Cap is an accessory that makes its debut in Super Mario 64. It is usually found in green blocks, which become solid upon the player pressing the Metal Cap Switch in the 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 jumps or Long Jumps, cannot swim, and sinks faster in quicksand. However, Metal Mario is also unaffected by strange clouds and cannot drown. The effect lasts for 20 seconds.
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 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 form and Metal form. 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.[1]
In Super Mario 64 DS, the Metal Cap itself does not appear. Instead, Wario becomes Metal Wario when he grabs a Power Flower but still retains the same properties as Metal Mario, and the music associated with the Metal Cap is retained.
A similar item, the Metal Mushroom Orb from the Mario Party series, additionally transforms characters into metal forms.
In Super Mario Odyssey, the Metal Cap (referred to as the Metal Mario Cap) appears as a cap that can be purchased from Crazy Cap stores, having a physical appearance similar to that of Super Mario 64. The cap becomes available after the player has collected 560 Power Moons, and it costs 1,000 coins. Aside from the ability to use the cap in conjunction with either the Mario 64 Outfit or the Metal Mario Outfit to enter a specific area in the Mushroom Kingdom, the cap is aesthetic and serves no other gameplay advantages.
