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

In ''Super Mario World'', Cape Feathers 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|website=nintendo.com}}</ref>

The Cape Feather is available as an additional item in ''[[Super Mario Advance 4: Super Mario Bros. 3]]''. However, it can be accessed only by scanning the appropriate card on the [[e-Reader]], which adds a Cape Feather into the inventory. The 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 and Cape Mario return in ''[[Super Mario Maker]]'' and ''[[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.

The Feather returns in ''[[Mario Kart 8 Deluxe]]'', where it is 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.

In ''[[Mario Kart Tour]]'', the Feather item was added in the [[Battle Tour]] beginning on October 5, 2022, accompanying the addition of Battle Mode to this game. 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''===

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.
