It first appeared in ''[[Super Mario World]]''.
==History==
===''Super Mario'' series===
====''Super Mario World'' / ''Super Mario World: Super Mario Advance 2''====
[[File:Mario Picnic in Dino Land.png|thumb|left|200px|A Cape Feather in the introduction to ''[[Super Mario World: Super Mario Advance 2]]'']]
In ''Super Mario World'', Cape Feathers first appear in [[Donut Plains 1]]. When Mario (or Luigi) grabs one, it turns him into Caped Mario (or Caped Luigi). As Caped Mario, the player can glide through the air, similar to the [[Super Leaf]]'s effect in ''[[Super Mario Bros. 3]]''. If the player [[dash|run]]s at full speed before [[jump]]ing to take off, they can control the flight with {{button|snes|Pad}}. Pressing backward slows Mario's speed and makes him ascend, and tapping it repeatedly allows Mario to continue [[fly]]ing, possibly to the end of the [[level]]; pressing forwards speeds up Mario and has him descend rapidly, ending in a [[POW Block|POW]]-like attack if allowed to touch down. The player can also attack enemies by spinning the cape by pressing {{button|snes|y}}.

[[Super Koopa (enemy)|Super Koopas]] with flashing capes can also drop Cape Feathers if stomped.

In the game's story described in the manual, [[Yoshi]] gives Mario the cape, telling him that it has magical powers.<ref>{{cite|url=www.nintendo.co.jp/clvs/manuals/common/pdf/CLV-P-SAAAE.pdf|title=''Super Mario World'' American instruction booklet|page=2|publisher=Nintendo of America|author=Nintendo|date=1991|language=en-us}}</ref>

====''Super Mario Advance 4: Super Mario Bros. 3''====
The Cape Feather is available as an additional item in ''[[Super Mario Advance 4: Super Mario Bros. 3]]''. By scanning in the appropriate card on the [[e-Reader]], the player can upload a Cape Feather into their inventory to use in the game. Caped Mario plays just as he does in ''Super Mario World'', including being able to defeat enemies such as [[Dry Bones]]. Cape Feathers are also found on the ground in the [[World-e]] levels [[Sea to Sky]] and [[Caped Escape]] and are required to finish the level in both cases.

====''Super Mario 64 DS''====
[[File:Mario Slot.png|thumb|140px|Mario Slot]]
The Cape Feather, along with other power-ups from ''Super Mario World'', can be seen in the minigames [[Mario Slot]] and [[Super Mario Slot]] in ''[[Super Mario 64 DS]]''. If the player lines up three Cape Feathers in a row, they will receive five times the number of [[coin]]s they bet.

In the main game, the [[Wing Cap|feather]] that transforms Mario into the similarly controlled [[Wing Mario]] resembles the Cape Feather.

====''Super Mario Maker'' / ''Super Mario Maker for Nintendo 3DS'' / ''Super Mario Maker 2''====
The Cape Feather and Cape Mario return in ''[[Super Mario Maker]]'', ''[[Super Mario Maker for Nintendo 3DS]]'', and ''[[Super Mario Maker 2]]'', but only in the ''Super Mario World'' style, acting the same way they did in that game. [[Toad]] and [[Toadette]] have access to the Cape Feather in ''Super Mario Maker 2'', becoming Cape Toad and Cape Toadette, respectively. In ''Super Mario Maker 2'', Cape Feathers in the nighttime ground theme swing further while falling.

===''Super Mario World'' television series===
[[File:CapeFeatherCartoon.jpg|thumb|140px|left|A Cape Feather, as seen in the [[Super Mario World (television series)|''Super Mario World'' animated series]]]]
The Cape Feather also appears in the [[Super Mario World (television series)|''Super Mario World'' television show]], where it is used in episodes such as "[[King Scoopa Koopa]]" and "[[The Night Before Cave Christmas]]." [[Mario]] is the only character to be seen using the cape in the series.
{{br}}

===''Mario Kart'' series===
====''Super Mario Kart''====
[[File:FeatherSMK.png|frame|left]]
The Feather is also found used in ''[[Super Mario Kart]]'' for the [[Super Nintendo Entertainment System|SNES]] as an item a driver can obtain from [[? Panel]]s throughout each racecourse (except the courses [[Mario Circuit]] and [[Donut Plains]]). The Feather grants the user the ability to perform a [[Spin Jump]] roughly twice as high as a regular driver can. This can be useful for jumping over barriers, as a quick and easy shortcut, and for jumping over enemy projectiles.

Additionally, while it did not appear in the final game, in a [[list of Mario Kart 64 pre-release and unused content|pre-release version]] of ''[[Mario Kart 64]]'', the Feather appeared to be one of the items.

====''Mario Kart 8 Deluxe''====
[[File:MK8D Cape Feather Battle Mode Screenshot.png|thumb|left|Mario holding a Feather]]
The Feather returns in ''[[Mario Kart 8 Deluxe]]'', where it appears only in Battle Mode. Working like a normal [[Jump Boost|trick]], it can be used to jump over obstacles, exit gliding, and/or get more height from tricks, though the player does not gain more height if the item is used while airborne.<ref>{{cite|author=Mankalor|date=May 11, 2017|url=youtu.be/pAPMrPT5OJ8|title=Mario Kart 8 Deluxe Tips - Feather Item Analysis|publisher=YouTube|accessdate=May 18, 2017}}</ref> If the user of the Feather collides with an opponent while using it or upon landing, then they can steal a balloon, three [[coin]]s, or the [[Shine Sprite]] (depending on the mode) from that opponent. It is also the emblem of the [[Feather Cup]] in the ''[[Mario Kart 8 Deluxe – Booster Course Pass]]'' as part of Wave 5.
{{br}}

====''Mario Kart Tour''====
The Feather appears in ''[[Mario Kart Tour]]'' starting from the [[Battle Tour]] beginning on October 5, 2022, accompanying the addition of Battle Mode to this game.<ref>{{cite|author=@kart_tour|date=September 29, 2022|url=x.com/kart_tour/status/1575366146324307968|title=News: a new item have been added! Thanks to, @Mankalor|publisher=X|accessdate=September 29, 2022}}</ref> Like in ''Mario Kart 8 Deluxe'', it is exclusive to Battle Mode, and functions mostly the same as in that game, except jumping over an opponent will only cause their balloon to pop, without the player stealing it.

===''[[Mario's FUNdamentals]]''===
In the Dominoes game in ''[[Mario's FUNdamentals]]'', Cape Feathers appear on the highest numeration of dominoes, 6.

===''Nintendo Puzzle Collection''===
In ''[[Nintendo Puzzle Collection]]'', Cape Feathers make a very brief appearance in ''[[Yoshi's Cookie|Yoshi no Cookie]]'', appearing on flags held by [[Blooper]] audience members at the beginning of a Versus Mode match.

===''The Super Mario Bros. Movie''===
[[File:CapeFeatherTSMBM.jpg|thumb]]
In ''[[The Super Mario Bros. Movie]]'', a voxelated Cape Feather can be seen being sold at the antiques store.

==Trivia==
[[File:MK8-FeatherPen.png|thumb|20px]]
*In ''[[Mario Kart 8]]'', the course [[Sunshine Airport]] contains feather pens on desks that have exactly the same design as the Cape Feather. These same feather pens also appear at the ticket booth desks in [[Super Bell Subway]].
*In ''[[Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker]]'', [[Wingo]] has a feather on his turban that is based on the Cape Feather, though the details are red rather than orange.
*The Feather has had the longest absence of all items in the [[Mario Kart (series)|''Mario Kart'']] series, spanning almost 25 years.
