Wing Mario
Template:Diff Template:Form-infobox
When Mario wears a Wing Cap in Super Mario 64, he becomes Wing Mario, which grants him the ability to fly with the small wings on his cap until the time-limit expires. In order for Mario to attain flight, he must first perform a Triple Jump or be shot from a Cannon. Once in the air, Mario would have to constantly raise and lower himself to maintain flight. He could also use his wings to slow his fall after a jump, thus avoiding any damage resulting from a hard landing, but doing that in Super Mario 64 DS will hurt him. Mario can also transform into Wing Mario by grabbing the Giant Star that appeared after defeating Bowser in the final battle. The song that plays when the player is Wing Mario is a remix of the song of Superstar Mario from Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island, which, in turn, was a remix of the original invincible tune of Super Mario Bros.
Wing Mario returned in the remake, Super Mario 64 DS. It served the same purpose as in the original but instead of the Wing Cap, it was achieved by collecting a Cape Feather, which would only appear for Mario in single-player mode. However, in the multiplayer version of Super Mario 64 DS includes yellow ! Blocks containing feathers that allow Luigi, Wario and Yoshi to use a wing form similar to Mario's, though in Yoshi's case it is more likely a reference to his other winged transformation. Wing Mario is also depicted on the Japanese Box art of Super Mario 64 DS.
Wing Mario makes a cameo appearance in one of Mario Party's title screens, where he is shown flying through the air, holding Luigi and Yoshi by their hands.
It made another cameo on the side of the box of Nintendo Monopoly.
