The '''Metal Cap''' is an accessory that makes its debut appearance in ''[[Super Mario 64]]''. It is usually found in [[Metal Box]]es. The Metal Cap can turn [[Mario]] into [[Metal Mario]], which makes him invulnerable. The side effect of this temporary invulnerability is that the user becomes extremely heavy (with a side effect of extremely powerful [[Ground Pound]]s), they can no longer make very high or long jumps, and they sink faster in quick sand. Also, when [[Wario]] gets a [[Power Flower]] in [[Super Mario 64 DS]], he becomes [[Metal Wario]], which has the same properties as Metal Mario.

The '''Metal Cap''' is an accessory that makes its debut in ''[[Super Mario 64]]''. It is usually found in [[Cap Block|green block]]s, which become solid upon the player pressing the [[Cap Switch|Metal Cap Switch]] in the [[Behind the Waterfall|Cavern of the Metal Cap]]. The Metal Cap turns [[Mario]] into [[Metal Mario]], making him invulnerable and extremely heavy. Because of this, he can no longer make very high [[jump]]s or [[Long Jump]]s, cannot [[swim]], and sinks faster in [[quicksand]]. However, Metal Mario is also unaffected by [[smoke|strange cloud]]s and cannot drown. The effect lasts for 20 seconds.


If Mario gets another power when the Metal Cap is in effect, they will combine. This is possible in [[Dire, Dire Docks]], where a green block is located directly beside a [[Cap Block|blue block]], and in [[Wet-Dry World]], where the player can drain the [[water]] in the downtown area and collect the Metal Cap, then jump down and collect the [[Vanish Cap]]. Collecting both gives Mario the powers of both his [[Vanish Mario|Vanish form]] and Metal form. An unused texture in the game shows a metallic version of the wings from the [[Wing Cap]], suggesting that it would have been possible to combine the Wing Cap with the Metal Cap as well.<ref>https://tcrf.net/Super_Mario_64_(Nintendo_64)/Unused_Textures#Metal_Wing_Cap</ref>
A similar item, the [[Metal Mushroom]] works almost identically to the Metal Cap.


In ''[[Super Mario 64 DS]]'', the Metal Cap itself does not appear. Instead, [[Wario]] becomes Metal Wario when he grabs a [[Power Flower (Super Mario 64 DS)|Power Flower]] but still retains the same properties as Metal Mario, and the music associated with the Metal Cap is retained.
The Metal Cap's [[! Switch]] can be found in the [[Metal Cavern]], which can be reached by a portal in [[Hazy Maze Cave]]'s underground lake area.


A similar item, the [[Metal Mushroom Orb]] from the [[Mario Party (series)|''Mario Party'' series]], additionally transforms characters into metal forms.
The Metal Box also appears in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]'' and is also present in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]''.

In ''[[Super Mario Odyssey]]'', the Metal Cap (referred to as the '''Metal Mario Cap''') appears as a [[cap]] that can be purchased from [[Crazy Cap]] stores, having a physical appearance similar to that of ''Super Mario 64''. The cap becomes available after the player has collected 560 [[Power Moon]]s, and it costs 1,000 [[coin]]s. Aside from the ability to use the cap in conjunction with either the Mario 64 Outfit or the Metal Mario Outfit to enter a specific area in the [[Mushroom Kingdom (Super Mario Odyssey)|Mushroom Kingdom]], the cap is aesthetic and serves no other gameplay advantages.
