The cape first appears in ''[[Super Mario World]]'' as well as its [[Game Boy Advance]] [[Super Mario World: Super Mario Advance 2|remake]]. [[Mario]] and [[Luigi]] can gain it upon touching a [[Cape Feather]] (an item usually found in [[? Block]]s), and it gives them the ability to fly and attack enemies. If the player runs at full speed before taking off by jumping, they can control the flight with {{button|snes|Pad}}. Right will slow the descent and tapping left repeatedly will allow the player to continue flying, possibly to the end of the level. The player can spin the cape to attack enemies with {{button|snes|y}}
 
====''Super Mario Advance 4: Super Mario Bros. 3''====
The cape also makes an appearance in ''[[Super Mario Bros. 3#Super Mario Advance 4: Super Mario Bros. 3|Super Mario Advance 4: Super Mario Bros 3]]''. It could only be obtained by using an [[e-Reader]] card to scan the feather in to the player's item inventory. The feather (and in turn the cape) was also found in the formerly Japan-only [[World-e]] level [[Sea to Sky]]. The cape acts as it does in ''Super Mario World''.

The cape appears in ''[[Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island]]'' and its Game Boy Advance [[Yoshi's Island: Super Mario Advance 3|remake]], where [[Baby Mario]] could get one and become invincible by touching a [[star]]; [[Yoshi]] would turn into a [[Yoshi Egg]] and follow with the rest of the eggs.

In ''[[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS]]'' and ''[[Super Smash Bros. for Wii U]]'', Cape has two unlockable custom variants. The first one is '''Shocking Cape''', which gives the cape an electric effect and deals greater damage and knockback, but destroys projectiles rather than reflecting them and no longer reverses the opponent's direction. The Cape can also be customized to '''Gust Cape''', with gives the cape a wind effect which can push opponents, but deals less damage.<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BDsmjbifWUk</ref>
In the comic series ''[[Super Mario Adventures]]'', the cape is used multiple times by the protagonists in the story. The cape is first seen to being used by [[Princess Peach|Peach]] who uses the cape to escape from [[Bowser's Castle]] to get away from the tormenting of the [[Koopalings]]. The cape is later used by [[Toad]] to scout out for assistance in order to help himself as well as Mario, Luigi, Yoshi, and Peach find a way back home to Peach's Castle after having defeated [[Bowser]] and his forces.

In ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]'', it has a different animation: Mario now wears the Cape around his neck when he uses it, like in ''[[Super Mario World]]''.

Mario's side special move in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate.
Mario using Cape in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate

Cape is Mario's side special move that has appeared in every Super Smash Bros. game since Super Smash Bros. Melee, based on the Cape Mario form. The move deals no knockback, but instead is able to reflect projectiles and turn opponents around. If used while an opponent is shielding, it flips them instead. Finally, if used in mid-air, the cape stops Mario's falling briefly and moves him forward a bit, though only once.

In Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS and Super Smash Bros. for Wii U, Cape has two unlockable custom variants. The first one is Shocking Cape, which gives the cape an electric effect and deals greater damage and knockback, but destroys projectiles rather than reflecting them and no longer reverses the opponent's direction. The Cape can also be customized to Gust Cape, with gives the cape a wind effect which can push opponents, but deals less damage.[1]

In Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, it has a different animation: Mario now wears the Cape around his neck when he uses it, like in Super Mario World.

Dr. Mario's Super Sheet functions similarly to this move.
