Baby Mario gets a '''Super Cape''',<ref>''[[Prima Games|Playing With Super Power: Nintendo Super NES Classics eGuide]]'', ''Super Mario World 2: Yoshi’s Island'' Characters Tab.</ref> and the [[Yoshi (species)|Yoshi]] turns into a [[Giant Egg]], but once time runs out, the Yoshi emerges with Baby Mario. Superstar Mario gains speed, enough to [[dash]] on walls and ceilings, and he can float down slowly using his cape. Superstar Mario is also [[Invincible Mario|invincible]] against enemies, attacks, and even hazards such as [[Spike Trap|spike]]s and [[lava]] but not [[pit|bottomless pit]]s. During development, the star item was initially conceptualized to turn Baby Mario into the mustachioed adult [[Mario]], but it was pointed out this concept would seem strange. [[Shigeru Miyamoto]] joked he still prefers this early idea to the final version.<ref>{{cite|title=''Haou Magazine''|date=September 1995 issue interview with [[Shigeru Miyamoto]]|url=shmuplations.com/yoshi|accessdate=June 4, 2024}}</ref> Sprites related to this concept can be found in development assets.<ref>[[tcrf:Development:Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island/Sprites#Mario|Development:Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island/Sprites#Mario]].

Powerful Mario appears as Baby Mario's power-up in ''[[Super Mario-kun]]''{{'}}s fourteenth volume, the adaption of ''Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island''. It enables Baby Mario to climb up walls and float as it did in the games, but it also gives him super strength. The strength enables him to beat up enemies and even use boulders to hurt Mario, [[Luigi]], and [[Yoshi]] when he gets angry.
