The '''Cape Feather''',<ref>{{cite|author=Nintendo|title=''Super Mario World: Super Mario Advance 2'' instruction booklet|page=19|publisher=Nintendo of America|date=2002|language=en-us}}</ref> or simply the '''Feather''',<ref>{{cite|title=Nintendo ''Mario Mania'' Player's Guide|date=August 1991|page=46|publisher=Nintendo of America|language=en-us}}</ref><ref>{{cite|title=''Super Mario Kart'' instruction booklet|page=13|author=Nintendo|publisher=Nintendo of America|language=en-us|date=1992}}</ref><ref>{{cite|title=Nintendo ''Super NES'' Player's Guide|page=8|publisher=Nintendo of America|date=1992|language=en-us}}</ref> is a [[list of power-ups|power-up]] that transforms [[Mario]] and [[Luigi]] into [[Cape Mario|their cape forms]]. It first appeared in ''[[Super Mario World]]''.

In ''Super Mario World'', Cape Feathers first appear in [[Donut Plains 1]]. When Mario (or Luigi) grabs one, it turns him into Caped Mario (or Caped Luigi). As Caped Mario, the player can glide through the air, similar to the [[Super Leaf]]'s effect in ''[[Super Mario Bros. 3]]''. If the player [[dash|run]]s at full speed before [[jump]]ing to take off, they can control the flight with {{button|snes|Pad}}. Pressing backward slows Mario's speed and makes him ascend, and tapping it repeatedly allows Mario to continue [[fly]]ing, possibly to the end of the [[level]]; pressing forwards speeds up Mario and has him descend rapidly, ending in a [[POW Block|POW]]-like attack if allowed to touch down. The player can also attack enemies by spinning the cape by pressing {{button|snes|y}}.

 

 

The Cape Feather is available as an additional item in ''[[Super Mario Advance 4: Super Mario Bros. 3]]''. By scanning in the appropriate card on the [[e-Reader]], the player can upload a Cape Feather into their inventory to use in the game. Caped Mario plays just as he does in ''Super Mario World'', including being able to defeat enemies such as [[Dry Bones]]. Cape Feathers are also found on the ground in the [[World-e]] levels [[Sea to Sky]] and [[Caped Escape]] and are required to finish the level in both cases.

The Cape Feather, along with other power-ups from ''Super Mario World'', can be seen in the minigames [[Mario Slot]] and [[Super Mario Slot]] in ''[[Super Mario 64 DS]]''. If the player lines up three Cape Feathers in a row, they will receive five times the number of [[coin]]s they bet.

====''Super Mario Maker'' / ''Super Mario Maker for Nintendo 3DS''====

The Cape Feather and Cape Mario return in ''[[Super Mario Maker]]'' and ''[[Super Mario Maker for Nintendo 3DS]]'', but only in the ''Super Mario World'' style, acting the same way they did in that game.

 

====''Super Mario Maker 2''====

The Cape Feather and Cape Mario return in ''[[Super Mario Maker 2]]'', acting the same way they did in its predecessor. [[Toad]] and [[Toadette]] have access to the Cape Feather, becoming Cape Toad and Cape Toadette, respectively. Cape Feathers in the nighttime ground theme swing further while falling.

The Feather returns in ''[[Mario Kart 8 Deluxe]]'', where it appears only in Battle Mode. Working like a normal [[Jump Boost|trick]], it can be used to jump over obstacles, exit gliding, and/or get more height from tricks, though the player does not gain more height if the item is used while airborne.<ref>{{cite|author=Mankalor|date=May 11, 2017|url=youtu.be/pAPMrPT5OJ8|title=Mario Kart 8 Deluxe Tips - Feather Item Analysis|publisher=YouTube|accessdate=May 18, 2017}}</ref> If the user of the Feather collides with an opponent while using it or upon landing, then they can steal a balloon, three [[coin]]s, or the [[Shine Sprite]] (depending on the mode) from that opponent. It is also the emblem of the [[Feather Cup]] in the ''[[Mario Kart 8 Deluxe – Booster Course Pass]]'' as part of Wave 5.

The Feather appears in ''[[Mario Kart Tour]]'' starting from the [[Battle Tour]] beginning on October 5, 2022, accompanying the addition of Battle Mode to this game.<ref>{{cite|author=@kart_tour|date=September 29, 2022|url=x.com/kart_tour/status/1575366146324307968|title=News: a new item have been added! Thanks to, @Mankalor|publisher=X|accessdate=September 29, 2022}}</ref> Like in ''Mario Kart 8 Deluxe'', it is exclusive to Battle Mode, and functions mostly the same as in that game, except jumping over an opponent will only cause their balloon to pop, without the player stealing it.

 

===''[[Mario's FUNdamentals]]''===

In the Dominoes game in ''[[Mario's FUNdamentals]]'', Cape Feathers appear on the highest numeration of dominoes, 6.

In ''[[Nintendo Puzzle Collection]]'', Cape Feathers make a very brief appearance in ''[[Yoshi's Cookie|Yoshi no Cookie]]'', appearing on flags held by [[Blooper]] audience members at the beginning of a Versus Mode match.

 

In ''[[The Super Mario Bros. Movie]]'', a voxelated Cape Feather can be seen being sold at the antiques store.
