The '''Wing Cap''' is a powerup that can be found in red [!] blocks after the red [[Cap Switch|cap switch]] in [[Tower of the Wing Cap]] is pressed. When worn, it allows Mario to fly through the air after triple jumping or launching from a cannon and to fall slowly by holding the A button. It expires after 60 seconds.

The Wing Cap, like all caps, can be used to perform the [[Hat in Hand]] glitch.


 
Also, landing right after beginning to fly will cause the camera to remain as if Mario was flying, i.e. it will constantly be directly behind Mario and the C buttons only change it temporarily.<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4pqQQxL6W8s "SM64 - Wing Cap Camera Glitch" by pannenkoek2012]</ref> On the [[Super Mario 64#Japanese|Japanese version]], this can also be done by simply pressing B or Z after triple jumping.
The Wing Cap can also be used to glitch the camera. To activate this glitch Mario should land on a slope right when he starts flying. This will make the camera change to follow every movement Mario makes, as if he is flying.<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4pqQQxL6W8s</ref>
