The cap has appeared with Mario ever since ''Donkey Kong'', but it was unimportant until ''[[Super Mario 64]]''—the first game in which Mario can lose his cap. If his cap is lost (having been stolen by an [[Ukiki]] or [[Klepto]] or blown off by a gust of wind, for instance), Mario takes more damage when attacked. | |||

While these powers are dispersed amongst Mario and his companions in ''Super Mario 64 DS'', Mario's Cap gains a new ability: When worn, it turns Luigi, Yoshi, or Wario into Mario. If the real Mario loses his cap he cannot fly, use other caps, or use [[Power Flower (Super Mario 64 DS)|Power Flower]] abilities. | ||

In the [[Reissue|remake]] of ''Super Mario 64'', ''[[Super Mario 64 DS]]'', [[Toad]] reveals that the cap Mario wears is special and that if it were to get blown off Mario, he would have nothing but bad luck. As hinted in ''Super Mario 64 DS'', Mario's Cap may be a source of his strength, though this does not apply in other games where Mario can have his cap off. If Mario loses his cap, he can get it back by going back to the course in which he lost it to find it. However, if he instead gets a [[Power Star]] from another course, he can simply talk to a certain Toad (who will find and wear Mario's Cap) and get it back from him. Mario's Cap appears in the following courses, even when he is locked: [[Bob-omb Battlefield]] (Star 2 or 4), [[Whomp's Fortress]] (Star 1 or 2), [[Jolly Roger Bay]], and [[Cool, Cool Mountain]] (Star 2). Mario's Cap can also be found in most levels when playing as any other character once he has been unlocked. [[Yoshi]], [[Luigi]], and [[Wario]] can pick up the cap, which gives them the appearance and abilities of Mario (though they retain their voices) until they lose it, get hurt, or finish a level. | |||
In a few stages | In a few stages like Bob-omb Battlefield (Star 2), it is possible to end up with more than one of Mario's Caps. In ''Super Mario 64 DS'', if someone wearing Mario's Cap gets another cap, they get an [[extra life]]. However, if the real Mario gets another one of his caps from a certain duplication glitch in [[Snowman's Land]], he will pick up the cap and nothing will happen. | ||

During the initial battle on [[Bowser]]'s [[airship]], Bowser's final attack knocks the cap off of Mario's head and sends Mario flying off. With Mario gone, Bowser stomps on the cap and leaves it to drift into his airship's propellers, where it is completely shredded. A piece of the cap is retrieved by [[Cappy]], who uses it to transform into an exact replica of the cap when he and Mario team up. | ||
