'''Wing Mario''' is a form granting [[Mario]] the ability to [[fly]]. It shows small wings on [[Mario Cap|his cap]].
'''Wing Mario''' is the form [[Mario]] takes on whenever he grabs a [[Wing Cap]] in ''[[Super Mario 64]]''. It grants him the ability to [[fly]] with the small wings on [[Mario Cap|his cap]] until the time limit expires. In order for Mario to attain flight, he must first perform a [[Triple Jump]] (which can be done in place in this form) or be shot from a [[cannon]]. Once in the air, the player must constantly raise and lower themself to maintain flight (like with [[Cape Mario|Caped Mario]] in ''[[Super Mario World]]''). The player can also use the wings to fall slower and prevent falling damage. Mario also transforms into Wing Mario by grabbing the [[Jumbo Star]] that appears after he defeats [[Bowser]] in the final battle.


Wing Mario returns in the remake ''[[Super Mario 64 DS]]'', but the Wing Cap is replaced by a white feather (with both the item and the form referred to as '''Wings'''<ref>[https://cdn02.nintendo-europe.com/media/downloads/games_8/emanuals/nintendo_ds_21/Manual_NintendoDS_SuperMario64DS_EN.pdf ''Super Mario 64 DS'' English instruction booklet], page 18.</ref> in English, although instances of "Wing cap" remain in-game), and it can be obtained only by Mario in the single-player game.

Wing Mario first appears in Super Mario 64, and is the result of Mario putting on a Wing Cap. In order for Mario to attain flight, he must first perform a Triple Jump (which can be done in place in this form) or be shot from a cannon. Once in the air, the player must constantly raise and lower themself to maintain flight (like with Caped Mario in Super Mario World). The player can also use the wings to fall slower and prevent falling damage.

Players can still slow their fall, but it no longer prevents damage, unlike in the original version. Also, the game's VS mode includes VS Item Blocks in some of the courses, containing feathers that allow Luigi, Wario, and Yoshi to use this form, though in Yoshi's case, the wings grow on his back instead.
