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. 

== Glitches ==
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.

There are numerous ways to undo this glitch:
* Getting knocked back by an enemy.
* Getting launched by a cannon.
* Stopping with flying. (To stop flying, one needs to start flying normally first.)
* Getting thrown by King Bob-omb.
* Riding a koopa shell.
* Catching on fire.
* Getting squished while standing. (Getting squished while moving won't undo the glitch)
* Swimming.
* Getting sucked into a tornado.
* Leaving a course in any way.

== Use in Challenges ==
The Wing Cap can be used as a means of travelling quickly for the [[No Joystick Allowed Challenge]], as flying gives you horizontal momentum. However, the Wing Cap cannot be obtained in a full-game run, as it requires looking up in the castle.
