The '''Wing Cap''' is an item found in ''[[Super Mario 64]]''. It's Mario's trademark Power-Up in ''Super Mario 64'', being shown of the game's box art and a majority of its [[List of merchandise|merchandise]]. When wearing a Wing Cap, [[Mario]] becomes [[Wing Mario]] and has the ability to fly. Mario can begin flying by performing a [[Jump#Triple Jump|Triple Jump]] or getting shot from a [[cannon]]. To obtain the item, Mario must find a red [[Exclamation Mark Block|! Block]] and hit it. A Wing Cap will then pop out of the ! Block. While wearing the wing cap, the player can hold {{button|n64|A}} to slow down Mario's descent, Mario also won't take any damage from falling unless he used a Long Jump.

As a collectible item, the Wing Cap itself was largely omitted from ''[[Super Mario 64 DS]]''. Instead, a feather can be collected from the red [[? Block]] which will add wings to Mario's cap. Only Mario could use the feather, which gave him identical abilities to those seen in ''Super Mario 64''; if another character struck a box containing Wings, they would simply earn a [[Power Flower]]. However, a lone, traditional-style Wing Cap could be found in one of the game's multiplayer stages; if the player picks it up, it will add wings to his cap, or in the case of [[Yoshi]], grow wings on his body, similar to the blue shell in ''[[Super Mario World]]''. It's not possible for Yoshi, [[Wario]], or [[Luigi]] to acquire wings in the single player mode of the game.
==Course Locations==
*'''Regular Courses'''
**[[Bob-omb Battlefield]]
**[[Lethal Lava Land]]
**[[Shifting Sand Land]]
**[[Tall, Tall Mountain]] (DS remake only)
*'''Secret Courses'''
**[[Tower of the Wing Cap]]
**[[Wing Mario Over the Rainbow]]
There is also a Wing Cap on the roof of [[Princess Peach's Castle]]. When Mario earns all 120 (N64 original), or 150 (DS remake) [[Power Star]]s, a cannon will allow him to easily access the roof, however the roof is accessible at any time by other, much harder means.

This theme is the same tune as the music that plays when Mario acquires a [[Super Star]] in the original ''[[Super Mario Bros.]]'', but with an added melody. A version of this same melody appeared as the theme of [[Superstar Mario]] and certain rooms in ''[[Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island]]''. The theme was reused in ''[[New Super Mario Bros.]]'' as the invincibility theme, and was later remixed for ''[[Super Mario Galaxy]]'' and ''[[Super Mario Galaxy 2]]'' for the equivalent [[Rainbow Star]] power-up.
==Trivia==
*In the Wii U version of ''[[wikipedia:Rayman Legends|Rayman Legends]]'', there is an exclusive outfit for Rayman that gives him Mario's clothing. If Rayman flutters while wearing this outfit, the wings appear on his cap, a reference to the Wing Cap.
*In both versions of [[Nintendo Monopoly]], there is a [[Coin Block]]/[[Brick Block]] card that reads "Purchase a Wing Cap - Pay $50".
*In a preview for ''[[Super Mario Land 2: 6 Golden Coins]]'', the gliding power-up was described as a winged cap rather than the [[Carrot]], and the screenshot was blacked out.<ref>https://archive.org/stream/Nintendo_Magazine_System_05_1993-08_Trielle_AU#page/n53/mode/1up</ref> It is possible that the design was decided later in development, and it might have resembled the Wing Cap.
