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

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}}.

 

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.

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''====

Cape Feathers are items in ''[[Super Mario Maker]]'' and its [[Reissue#Enhanced ports|enhanced]] [[Nintendo 3DS]] [[Reissue#Enhanced ports|port]], ''[[Super Mario Maker for Nintendo 3DS]]''. They are used exclusively in the ''Super Mario World'' style and function identically as in the original game.

 

Cape Feathers return in ''[[Super Mario Maker 2]]''. They retain their behavior as in its predecessor. In addition to Luigi having access to it, becoming Cape Luigi, as in ''Super Mario World'', [[Toad]] and [[Toadette]] gain access to the Cape Feather, becoming Cape Toad and Cape Toadette, respectively. Likewise, Cape Feathers in the nighttime ground theme swing further while falling.

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.

Feathers are items in ''[[Mario Kart 8 Deluxe]]''. They are only usable 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.

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.

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.

 

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