'''Flying''' is a move that is directly related to [[jump]]ing. It allows the player to float in the air for a certain period of time. While characters like Mario need a [[List of power-ups|power-up]] to fly, certain enemies like [[Fly Guy]]s and [[Paragoomba]]s can fly without the aid of items.

==History==
===''Super Mario'' series===
====''Super Mario Bros. Special''====
The first game where Mario is able to fly is ''[[Super Mario Bros. Special]]'', a sequel to ''[[Super Mario Bros.]]'' The [[Wing (Super Mario Bros. Special)|Wing]] power-up allows him to fly through the air in a manner similar to the game's swimming mechanics.

====''Super Mario Bros. 2''====
In ''[[Super Mario Bros. 2]]'', when Mario, [[Luigi]], [[Princess Peach|Princess Toadstool]] or [[Toad]] defeat a [[Pidgit]], they are able to use its [[magic carpet]] to fly for a short time. 

====''Super Mario Bros. 3''====
[[File:Raccoon Mario Artwork - Super Mario Bros. 3.png|left|thumb|140px|[[Raccoon Mario]] in ''Super Mario Bros. 3''.]]
In ''[[Super Mario Bros. 3]]'', when Mario picks up a [[Super Leaf]], he transforms into [[Raccoon Mario]], and is then able to briefly fly after getting a running start. The [[Tanooki Suit]], a similar item, turns him into [[Tanooki Mario]], which also lets him [[Statue Mario|turn into a statue]]. [[P-Wing|Magic Wing]]s let Raccoon Mario (or Tanooki Mario if a Tanooki Suit is gained while using one) fly indefinitely until he takes damage or grabs a non-flight-based power-up; clearing a level reverts his flying ability back to normal.

====''Super Mario World''====
In ''[[Super Mario World]]'', Mario can pick up a [[Cape Feather]] to turn into [[Cape Mario|Caped Mario]], which gives him the ability to fly. In the same game, if a mounted [[Yoshi (species)|Yoshi]] eats a [[Shell|Blue Shell]] (or a Blue Yoshi eats a shell), the dinosaur [[Winged Yoshi|gains wings]] and is then able to fly around for as long as the shell is held. Alternately, the same result can be achieved if the mounted Yoshi grabs [[Yoshi's Wings]]. Mario can also steal a [[Lakitu's Cloud]], which also allows him to fly for a while.

====''Super Mario 64'' / ''Super Mario 64 DS''====
[[File:WingMarioSM64DS.png|thumb|150px|[[Wing Mario]] flying.]]
In ''[[Super Mario 64]]'', Mario can break open red [[! Block]]s to obtain the [[Wing Cap]], which allows him to fly for a limited time after he performs a [[Triple Jump]] or uses a [[Cannon]] to take off.

In ''[[Super Mario 64 DS]]'', the Wing Cap is replaced by a feather, which is a power-up exclusive to Mario. Only in the VS mode of this version is every character able to fly.

====''New Super Mario Bros.''====
In ''[[New Super Mario Bros.]]'', Mario gains the ability to fly after defeating a [[Lakitu]] with a [[Fire Flower]], who then leaves his cloud behind, as in ''Super Mario World''. Mario can also fly for a short amount of time using the [[Spin Block (New Super Mario Bros.)|Spin Block]].

====''Super Mario Galaxy''====
[[File:Flying Mario Artwork.jpg|thumb|left|150px|Flying Mario in ''Super Mario Galaxy''.]]
In ''[[Super Mario Galaxy]]'', flying returns. Mario can collect the [[Red Star]] to become [[Flying Mario]]. He must jump and then [[spin]] in midair to begin flying for a limited time.

Another way to fly is by collecting a [[Bee Mushroom]], which turns the player into [[Bee Mario]]. The player's flight is limited by their fly meter, changing color from green, to yellow, and finally to red as they fly. Once the bar is empty, they fall and are unable to fly until the flight meter fills up, which occurs by landing on a stable surface or by collecting [[Coin]]s). The [[Boo Mushroom]], which transforms the player into [[Boo Mario]], also grants the ability to float in the air while pressing {{button|wii|A}}. Whenever the player goes through a [[Launch Star]], he goes into an automated flight.

====''New Super Mario Bros. Wii''====
[[File:MarioPropella.png|thumb|80px|[[Propeller Mario]] flying.]]
In ''[[New Super Mario Bros. Wii]]'', the player is able to fly after obtaining a [[Propeller Mushroom]] or grabbing a [[Propeller Block]], and shaking the [[Wii#Wii Remote|Wii Remote]]. The player can also steal Lakitu's Cloud to fly around for a while, as the previous game.

====''Super Mario Galaxy 2''====
Flight returns in ''[[Super Mario Galaxy 2]]'', in the same way as it appeared in ''Super Mario Galaxy'', with the exception of the Red Star. [[Yoshi]] can also fly in this game by using the [[Blimp Berry]] to hover for a certain amount of time.

====''Super Mario 3D Land''====
Despite the return of Super Leaves, [[P-Wing]]s, and the Tanooki form in ''[[Super Mario 3D Land]]'', the player cannot fly by using those items (though Mario and the Toads from the intro are shown doing so in the ending cutscene); [[Statue Leaf|Statue Leaves]] (which replace Tanooki Suits in this game) also don't give flight. [[Propeller Box]]es are used to fly upward instead, like in ''New Super Mario Bros. Wii''.

====''New Super Mario Bros. 2''====
[[File:Raccoon Mario - New Super Mario Bros 2.png|thumb|left|150px|Raccoon Mario in ''New Super Mario Bros. 2''.]]
In ''[[New Super Mario Bros. 2]]'', the Raccoon form and its flight returns, though players can fly by just holding the jump button, unlike in ''Super Mario Bros. 3''. The ability to steal Lakitu's Cloud also returns.

====''New Super Mario Bros. U''====
[[File:Squirrel Mario NSMBU.png|thumb|right|150px|Flying Squirrel Mario in ''New Super Mario Bros. U'']]
In ''[[New Super Mario Bros. U]]'', the player can obtain a [[Super Acorn]] to transform into [[Flying Squirrel Mario]]. This allows them to glide, similar to Raccoon Mario or Caped Mario. They can also obtain a [[P-Acorn]] to transform into [[P Flying Squirrel Mario]]. This grants them the same abilities as the Super Acorn, but without the need to touch the ground to continue flying, though only for one level.

====''Super Mario Maker'' / ''Super Mario Maker for Nintendo 3DS'' / ''Super Mario Maker 2''====
In the ''[[Super Mario Maker]]'' games, the Super Leaf and Raccoon form, Cape Feather and Cape form, and Propeller Mushroom and Propeller form return in the ''Super Mario Bros. 3'', ''Super Mario World'', and ''New Super Mario Bros. U'' styles, respectively, working as they do in the respective games. Lakitu's Cloud can also be stolen or placed standalone in any game style, and the [[Koopa Clown Car]] ([[Junior Clown Car]] in the ''New Super Mario Bros. U'' style) works similarly.

====''Super Mario 3D World''====
Super Leaves and Propeller Boxes return in ''[[Super Mario 3D World]]'', acting as they do in ''Super Mario 3D Land''.

====''Super Mario Odyssey''====
Certain [[capture]]s in ''[[Super Mario Odyssey]]'' allow Mario to fly, like Paragoombas and [[Glydon]].

===''Wario: Master of Disguise''===
In ''[[Wario: Master of Disguise]]'', [[Wario]] can turn into [[Wicked Wario]]. The player must then blow into the [[Nintendo DS#Microphone|Microphone]] to make him fly.
