Template:Form-infobox Caped Mario,[1] also known as Cape Mario,[2] is a form of Mario and Luigi which first appeared in Super Mario World.
Super Mario World
In Super Mario World, the cape form's abilities are much like Raccoon Mario before it, which in fact was originally going to be in the game. It can be obtained by getting a Cape Feather. It allows Mario to fly indefinitely through levels, and attack spiked enemies by spinning it around.
If the player holds down the either the 
or 
button after jumping with Caped Mario, the player can float down slowly. Also, if Mario runs at maximum speed and then presses and holds to spin jump, Mario will go very high, as if he was flying. If the player also falls to the ground during flight, an earthquake occurs that instantly defeats all on-screen enemies on the ground. Luigi can also get this form, but the powers remain the same as Mario's with a slightly different flight pattern in the GBA version, moving higher and slower than Mario's.
After the cape has attached to Mario's shoes and inflated, Mario can turn around by spinning mid-flight by pressing 
if 
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.
Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island
Baby Mario uses a similar form in Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island where he becomes invincible. In addition to being invincible, he can also walk up walls and ceilings. This form reappears in Yoshi's Island DS. In both games, "Superstar Mario" can use the cape as a parachute to float downwards.
