Its abilities are much like [[Raccoon Mario]] before it, which in fact was [[List of Super Mario World beta elements|originally]] going to be in the game. It can be obtained by getting a [[Cape Feather]]. It can allow Mario to fly through levels, and attack spiked enemies by spinning it around. | ||
If the player holds down the either the {{button|snes|A}} or {{button|snes|B}} button after jumping with Cape Mario, the player can float down slowly. Also, if Mario runs at maximum speed and then presses and holds {{button|snes|A}} to spin jump, Mario will go very high, as if he was flying. If the player also falls to the ground during flight, Mario will perform a shattering earthquake that defeats all enemies that was currently on the ground. [[Luigi]] can also get this form, but the powers remain the same as Mario's with a slightly different flight pattern, moving higher | If the player holds down the either the {{button|snes|A}} or {{button|snes|B}} button after jumping with Cape Mario, the player can float down slowly.

After the cape has attached to Mario's shoes and inflated, Mario can turn around by twirling the cape, pressing {{button|snes|X}} if {{button|snes|Y}} is being used to fly, or vice versa. It is impossible for Mario to turn at all in the GBA version, however, because there is only one run button. | After the cape has attached to Mario's shoes and inflated, Mario can turn around by twirling the cape, pressing {{button|snes|X}} if {{button|snes|Y}} is being used to fly, or vice versa.

In the ''[[Super Mario Adventures]]'' comic, when [[Princess Peach]] is kidnapped and taken to the Koopaling's Castle, she escapes and finds a cape in [[Wendy O. Koopa]]'s bedroom. Peach falls out the window, still holding the cape, and accidentally uses it. She flys across the moat when Mario flys right past her on a [[Bullet Bill]] which makes Peach loose control. Luigi thinks that he's looking at a bird that looks like the Princess, but the second he realises it really is her she falls right into a forest and blacks out. | In the ''[[Super Mario Adventures]]'' comic, when [[Princess Peach]] is kidnapped and taken to the Koopaling's Castle, she escapes and finds a cape in [[Wendy O.
