'''Cape Feathers''' are a type of feather that transforms [[Mario]] and [[Luigi]] into [[Cape Mario]] and Cape Luigi in ''[[Super Mario World]]''. As their caped selves, they can hover in the air and fly, similar to the [[Super Leaf]]'s effect in ''[[Super Mario Bros. 3]]''.

It first appeared in ''[[Super Mario World]]''.


==History==
[[Image:Twin_Bridges.PNG|thumb|left|200px|The result of the feather.]]
===''Super Mario'' series===
The Cape Feather (although referred to as "'''Feather'''") was also used in ''[[Super Mario Kart]]'' for the [[Super Nintendo Entertainment System|Super Nintendo]] as an item a driver could collect from [[Item Box|item boxes]] throughout the race courses. The Feather's effect was the ability to hop roughly double the height the drivers are normally able to, as well as cause them to spin when they do [[jump]]. This would be useful for jumping over barriers, as a quick and easy shortcut, and as well as for jumping over enemy projectiles.
====''Super Mario World'' / ''Super Mario World: Super Mario Advance 2''====
[[Image:CapeFeatherCartoon.jpg|thumb|A Cape Feather from the ''[[Super Mario World (television series)|Super Mario World]]'' animated series.]]
[[File:SMW Cape Feather.jpg|thumb|left|Artwork from ''Super Mario World'', showing its original depiction]]
Cape Feathers are items in ''Super Mario World''. They first appear in [[Donut Plains 1]]. [[Super Koopa (enemy)|Super Koopas]] with flashing capes can also drop Cape Feathers if stomped. The Cape Feather allows the player character to glide through the air, similarly to what the [[Super Leaf]] allows for 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}}.


In the game's story described in the manual, [[Yoshi]] gives Mario the cape, telling him that it has magical powers.<ref>{{cite|url=www.nintendo.co.jp/clvs/manuals/common/pdf/CLV-P-SAAAE.pdf|title=''Super Mario World'' American instruction booklet|page=2|publisher=Nintendo of America|date=1991|format=PDF|language=en-us}}</ref>
Additionally, the Cape Feather was also made available as a secret item in ''[[Super Mario Advance 4: Super Mario Bros. 3]]''. By scanning in the appropriate card on the [[e-Reader]], the [[player]] could upload a Cape Feather into their inventory to use in the game. [[Cape Mario]] plays just like he does in ''Super Mario World'', and can even defeat [[Dry Bones]].
 
====''Super Mario Advance 4: Super Mario Bros. 3''====
Cape Feathers are items in ''[[Super Mario Advance 4: Super Mario Bros. 3]]''. However, they can be accessed only by scanning the appropriate card on the [[e-Reader]], which adds a Cape Feather into the inventory. Cape Feather grants the same effects to Caped Mario as in ''Super Mario World'', with the addition of 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.

====''Super Mario 64 DS''====
[[File:Mario Slot.png|thumb|140px|Mario Slot]]
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.
 
In the main game, the [[Wing Cap|feather]] that transforms Mario into the similarly controlled [[Wing Mario]] resembles the Cape Feather.
 
====''Super Mario Maker'' subseries====
Cape Feathers are items in ''[[Super Mario Maker]]'', [[Super Mario Maker for Nintendo 3DS|its port]], and ''[[Super Mario Maker 2]]''. They are used only in the ''Super Mario World'' style and function identically as in the original game. Additionally, ''Super Mario Maker 2'' gives [[Toad]] and [[Toadette]] access to the Cape Feather, becoming Cape Toad and Cape Toadette, respectively, and Cape Feathers in the nighttime ground theme swing further while falling.
 
===''Super Mario World'' television series===
[[File:SMW TV Intro 11.jpg|thumb|140px|left|A Cape Feather, as seen in the [[Super Mario World (television series)|''Super Mario World'' animated series]]]]
The Cape Feather also appears in the [[Super Mario World (television series)|''Super Mario World'' television show]], where it is used in episodes such as "[[King Scoopa Koopa]]" and "[[The Night Before Cave Christmas]]." [[Mario]] is the only character to be seen using the cape in the series.
{{br}}
 
===''Mario Kart'' series===
====''Super Mario Kart''====
[[File:FeatherSMK.png|frame|left]]
Feathers are items in ''[[Super Mario Kart]]''. A driver can sometimes obtain one from [[? Panel]]s in any race course except [[Mario Circuit]] and [[Donut Plains]]. The Feather grants the user the ability to perform a [[Spin Jump]] roughly twice as high as a regular driver can. Feathers allow the user to jump over barriers and obstacles, as well as taking shortcuts.
 
Additionally, while it did not appear in the final game, in a [[list of Mario Kart 64 pre-release and unused content|pre-release version]] of ''[[Mario Kart 64]]'', the Feather appeared to be one of the items.
 
====''Mario Kart 8 Deluxe''====
[[File:MK8D Cape Feather Battle Mode Screenshot.png|thumb|left|Mario holding a Feather]]
Feathers are items in ''[[Mario Kart 8 Deluxe]]''. They are usable only in Battle Mode. Working like a normal [[Jump Boost|trick]], a Feather can be used to jump over obstacles, exit [[glide|gliding]], and/or get more height from tricks, though the player character 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.
{{br}}
 
====''Mario Kart Tour''====
Feathers are items in ''[[Mario Kart Tour]]''. They were added 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.
 
===''Nintendo Puzzle Collection''===
Cape Feathers appear briefly in the ''[[Yoshi's Cookie|Yoshi no Cookie]]'' port in ''[[Nintendo Puzzle Collection]]'', appearing on flags held by [[Blooper]] audience members at the beginning of a Versus Mode match.
 
===''The Super Mario Bros. Movie''===
[[File:CapeFeatherTSMBM.jpg|thumb]]
In ''[[The Super Mario Bros. Movie]]'', a voxelated Cape Feather can be seen being sold at the antiques store.

==Trivia==
[[File:MK8-FeatherPen.png|thumb|20px]]
*In ''[[Mario Kart 8]]'', the course [[Sunshine Airport]] contains feather pens on desks that have exactly the same design as the Cape Feather. These same feather pens also appear at the ticket booth desks in [[Super Bell Subway]].
*In ''[[Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker]]'', [[Wingo]] has a feather on his turban that is based on the Cape Feather, though the details are red rather than orange.
*The Feather has had the longest absence of all items in the [[Mario Kart (series)|''Mario Kart'']] series, spanning almost 25 years.

The Cape Feather also appeared in the [[Super Mario World (television series)|Super Mario World TV series]], in episodes such as "[[King Scoopa Koopa]]" and "[[The Night Before Cave Christmas]]". Mario seemed to be the only one to don the cape in the series.
