'''Wing Cap cameo on Rayman Legends'''

I was watching a video from Rayman Legends on Wii U, and when Rayman has the Mario costume on him and press "A" to glide, his head takes the form of the Wing Cap. Just thought it was noteworthy in the article.

== "Wings" as an item ==

{{talk}}
So on [https://cdn02.nintendo-europe.com/media/downloads/games_8/emanuals/nintendo_ds_21/Manual_NintendoDS_SuperMario64DS_EN.pdf page 18 of the English instruction booklet for 64DS,] the section describing Wing Mario has "Wings" for a header and shows screenshots of both Wing Mario and the feather item. The article currently seems to treat "Wings" as the name of the feather item. However, [https://m1.nintendo.net/docvc/NTR/JPN/ASMJ/ASMJ_J.pdf the respective page of the Japanese manual] is headed as 羽根マリオ (''Hane Mario'', Wing Mario), decidedly ''not'' referring to the feather. Personally, I feel the feather could be considered an iteration of [[Cape Feather]], given the forms are fairly similar in function, the [[Super Mushroom]] in that game turns them into [[Mega Mario]], and the [[Super Leaf]] also has two forms associated with it.

:Are you talking moving the Wings to a separate article or merging that information with the Cape Feather? I don't really I agree with either, since it's still just the Wing Cap. {{User:Alex95/sig}} 23:51, May 1, 2020 (EDT)
::I'm talking about moving the feather item (which itself is ''not'' called "wings" in any capacity that I can see) in SM64DS to Cape Feather. Super Leaf and Tanooki Suit can both make Tanooki Mario, after all. [[User:Doc von Schmeltwick|Doc von Schmeltwick]] ([[User talk:Doc von Schmeltwick|talk]]) 00:06, May 2, 2020 (EDT)
:Actually the first line in the 羽根マリオ box is 「羽根を入手すると」 "By obtaining the wings", so "Wings" is an appropriate name. Compare to Power Flower box to the left (「パワーフラワーを入手すると」). [[User:SmokedChili|SmokedChili]] ([[User talk:SmokedChili|talk]]) 06:08, May 2, 2020 (EDT)
::Wait a sec, 羽根 can mean both "feather" and "wings". The line actually be "By obtaining the feather". [[User:SmokedChili|SmokedChili]] ([[User talk:SmokedChili|talk]]) 06:55, May 2, 2020 (EDT)

== What to do with "Wings" ==

{{TPP}}
I'm quite surprised that I found this by browsing around, but I think it's about time we deal with this misinterpretation.

It's considerably odd that the Wing Cap and the "Wing" from ''64 DS'' are considered the same thing, and to me, it's just two different powerups giving the player the exact same form. So I think we should break it down like this:
*'''Split {{fake link|Wing (''Super Mario 64 DS'')}} into its own article.''' This is my preferred option, given that it's still a distinct powerup despite giving the player the same form, as was mentioned before.
*'''Move the info over to [[Cape Feather]].''' On the other hand, given that there's some evidence connecting the powerup to the Cape Feather, I'm going to throw in this option as well. I'm not opposed to this option either.
*'''Do nothing.''' Literally that.
