When wearing a Wing Cap, Mario becomes [[Wing Mario]] and gains the ability to [[fly]] and slow his falls (by holding {{button|n64|A}}), like with the [[Super Leaf]] and [[Cape Feather]] from previous games. Mario can begin flying by performing a [[Triple Jump]] (which can be done in place in that form) or by getting shot from a [[cannon]]. The item can be obtained only from a [[Cap Block|red block]], which will become solid upon Mario hitting the [[Cap Switch|Wing Cap Switch]] in the [[Tower of the Wing Cap]] course. The wings last for 60 seconds before wearing off.

While Wing Mario returns in ''[[Super Mario 64 DS]]'', the original Wing Cap is replaced by a white feather (with both the form and the item referred to as '''Wings'''<ref>[https://cdn02.nintendo-europe.com/media/downloads/games_8/emanuals/nintendo_ds_21/Manual_NintendoDS_SuperMario64DS_EN.pdf ''Super Mario 64 DS'' English instruction booklet], page 18.</ref> in English, although instances of "'''Wing cap'''" remain in-game) that only Mario can use, which can drop from red blocks. The form does not slow down descent as effectively in this version, as Mario can now take fall damage even when slowly descending. It is not possible for [[Yoshi]], [[Luigi]], or [[Wario]] to acquire wings in the single-player mode of the game. However, the feathers are located in [[! Block#Super Mario 64 / Super Mario 64 DS|VS Item Block]]s in two of the [[Super Mario 64 DS#VS mode|VS mode]] courses: [[Sunshine Isles]] and [[Battle Fort]]. They add wings to the character's [[cap]] regardless of who picks them up. In the case of Yoshi, he [[Winged Yoshi|grows wings on his back]].

The Wing Cap theme also plays when Mario rides on a [[Green Shell#Super Mario 64 / Super Mario 64 DS|Green Shell]] or becomes [[Vanish Mario]]. Also, in the [[Nintendo DS]] remake, a slower-paced version plays when [[Hoot]] is carrying Mario, and when Mario turns into [[Balloon Mario]] after obtaining a [[Power Flower (Super Mario 64 DS)|Power Flower]].
The theme "'''Powerful Mario'''" also plays when Mario rides on a [[Green Shell#Super Mario 64 / Super Mario 64 DS|Koopa Shell]] or becomes [[Vanish Mario]]. Also, in the [[Nintendo DS]] remake, a slower-paced version plays when [[Hoot]] is carrying Mario, and a different slower-paced version plays when Mario turns into [[Balloon Mario]] after obtaining a Power Flower.


This theme is a cover of the music heard when [[Baby Mario]] transforms into [[Superstar Mario]], as well as the music heard in certain bonus rooms in ''[[Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island]]'', which in turn is a cover of the music that plays when Mario acquires a [[Super Star]] in the original ''[[Super Mario Bros.]]'', but with an added melody. The theme was reused in ''[[New Super Mario Bros.]]'' as the invincibility theme, and it was later rearranged for ''[[Super Mario Galaxy]]'' and ''[[Super Mario Galaxy 2]]'' for the equivalent [[Rainbow Star]] power-up.
This theme is a cover of the music heard in ''[[Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island]]'', called "'''Powerful Infant'''," when [[Baby Mario]] transforms into [[Superstar Mario]], as well as the music played in certain bonus rooms in said game. "Powerful Infant" is in turn a cover of [[Super Star (theme)|the music]] that plays when Mario acquires a [[Super Star]] in the original ''[[Super Mario Bros.]]'' but with an added countermelody. This theme was reused in ''[[New Super Mario Bros.]]'' as the invincibility theme, and it was later rearranged for ''[[Super Mario Galaxy]]'' and ''[[Super Mario Galaxy 2]]'' for the equivalent [[Rainbow Star]] power-up.
