How to Fly in Super Mario World

Last Updated: March 17, 2021

Flying is a difficult, but very cool trick in Super Mario World, with a lot of perks to the action. Whether you want to avoid a certain enemy or want to glide all the way to the finish line, this is something to do in the game.

Steps

1
Finish the first castle in the game. The cape feather that enables you to fly is not accessible until you have finished the first castle and are at the level titled Donut Plains 1.
2
Acquire the feather. This can be done via a question mark box or stomping on a flying Koopa with a flashing cape.
