Flying Mario
Template:Diff Template:Form-infobox Flying Mario is a form taken by Mario in Super Mario Galaxy. It is first used when Mario returns to the Gateway Galaxy to collect 100 Purple Coins.
Mario can only obtain this form when he grabs a red star. In this form, Mario's hat and overalls become black, while his overall buttons and shoes turn red (Luigi undergoes the same changes, except with green instead of red). While in this form, spinning while jumping allows Mario to fly. This is simliar to the Wing Cap ability from Super Mario 64, except that the Player has much more control, and Mario can fly the whole time, rather than having to gain momentum first. This form also allows Mario to attract nearby coins by spinning. After a limited amount of time, Flying Mario will revert back to normal Mario.
Trivia
- Flying Mario's clothes' color scheme is identical to one of the flashing sequences of Invincible Mario in Super Mario Bros.
- Strangely, Flying Mario cannot access the planet containing the Trial Galaxies on his own. Mario will hit an invisible wall and fall back down to the Comet Observatory.
- When using codes to access this form at any time, one can go to Good Egg Galaxy's first mission and fly to an unused E3 planet.
- Super Mario Galaxy 2 can be hacked to play as Flying Mario, but he doesn't change to his red and black suit.Template:Refneeded
