A '''cap''' is the trademark type of wearing garment seen in the ''[[Mario (franchise)|Mario]]'' franchise. Many characters wear a cap such as [[Mario Cap|Mario]], [[Luigi Cap|Luigi]], [[Wario Cap|Wario]], [[Waluigi]], [[Goombario]] and many others.

*the [[Wing Cap]], which is basically Mario's Cap but with wings, which gives [[Mario]] the ability to fly.

*the [[Vanish Cap]], a see-through version of Mario's Cap, which turns Mario intangible.

*the [[Metal Cap]], a metal replica of Mario's Cap, which makes Mario metallic and invincible.

 

In ''[[Super Mario 64 DS]]'', the various characters' caps appear instead and serve a new function. Grabbing a cap allows whomever possesses it to change his appearance and abilities (however, his voice will remain unchanged). If a character (besides [[Yoshi]]) loses his cap, short-fused [[Bob-omb]]s will pop out of [[? Block]]s instead of power-ups, in addition to the original game's defense penalty. If the character without his cap takes damage from an enemy or hazard that takes one power wedge, he will lose one power wedge on the first hit, then lose two power wedges on the second hit and the process repeats. In the early portion of the game, those kinds of caps also act as [[1-Up Mushroom]]s. For example, if Yoshi wears Mario's Cap and takes another one, he will be awarded with a 1-Up. However, as Yoshi frees [[Mario]], [[Luigi]], and [[Wario]], redundant caps will be replaced with ones of a different color and it will be impossible to find two caps of the same color, except during Bob-omb Battlefield's second mission: Footrace With Koopa The Quick, where one extra Mario cap is still present. Yoshi can choose to wear the caps of whatever characters were rescued before entering a course. If the character, along with his own cap, is blown off, this time he will need to retrieve it from the enemy who is wearing it.

In ''[[Super Mario Sunshine]]'', the [[Swipin' Stu]] enemy can steal the Mario Cap. If Mario does not get back his cap, his energy will slowly drain until he dies, due to it being so hot (standing in the shade has no effect). Along with wearing his cap, it gains a Mario-esque mustache. This design is later used for the captured enemies in ''[[Super Mario Odyssey]]''.

===''Super Mario Odyssey''===

In ''[[Super Mario Odyssey]]'', [[Cappy]] can take the forms of many different [[Crazy Cap#Clothing|caps]] that Mario can wear. These caps can be thrown to hit blocks and enemies, [[capture]] certain characters or objects, and be used as a temporary jumping platform for Mario (among other uses). All caps are aesthetic and have identical abilities (excluding access to certain areas).

==Trivia==

*In ''[[Super Mario 64]]'', in the levels [[Wet-Dry World]] (downtown) and [[Dire, Dire Docks]], Mario can put on both the [[Vanish Cap]] and the [[Metal Cap]] combining their powers. Mario will be given the [[Metal Mario (form)|Metal Mario]] form, but will have the transparency of [[Vanish Mario]]. The length of the power up and music played will depend on the second cap Mario obtains. Overall, Mario will be heavy and can walk through walls. No level allows for the Wing Cap to be combined with any other one.
