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]] said 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]].
