Mario was given his hat in his first appearance in ''[[Donkey Kong (game)|Donkey Kong]]'' because of the limited advances in video game graphics when the game was made. A red cap was added because programmers found it difficult to create the hair movement that would occur when the character jumped.<ref>http://www.gamecubicle.com/features-mario-nintendo_shining_star.htm</ref> | Mario was given his hat in his first appearance in ''[[Donkey Kong (game)|Donkey Kong]]'' because of the limited advances in video game graphics when the game was made.

The hat has appeared with Mario ever since then, but was unimportant until ''[[Super Mario 64]]'' | The hat has appeared with Mario ever since then, but was unimportant until ''[[Super Mario 64]]'' which the first game in which Mario can lose his hat. When the hat is lost (by having it stolen by an [[Ukiki]] or [[Klepto]] or blown off by a gust of wind), Mario takes more damage when attacked. The same happened in Mario's next platformer, ''[[Super Mario Sunshine]]'', but with the added effect of gradually losing health due to the heat. Even if hatless Mario finds some shade and gets under it, it is still possible for him to take damage from the heat of the sun. The only enemies that steal Mario's cap are [[Swipin' Stu]]s. | ||
In the [[remake]] of ''Super Mario 64'', ''[[Super Mario 64 DS]]'', [[Toad]] revealed that the cap that Mario wears is special and if were to get blown off of Mario, he would have nothing but bad luck. As hinted in ''Super Mario 64 DS'', Mario's hat may be a source of his strength. Mario's cap can also be found in most levels when playing as [[Yoshi]]. The cap will give the dinosaur the appearance and abilities of Mario (but retains his voice), until he gets hurt, finishes the level, or gets it stolen and loses the cap. [[Luigi]] and [[Wario]] can also pick up Mario's cap, and gets the same effects as when Yoshi picked up one. If Mario loses his cap, he can obtain it back by going back to the same level to find it. However, if he instead gets a star from another level, he can simply talk to Toad (who will find and wear Mario's cap) and get it back from him. | In the [[remake]] of ''Super Mario 64'', ''[[Super Mario 64 DS]]'', [[Toad]] revealed that the cap that Mario wears is special and if were to get blown off of Mario, he would have nothing but bad luck.
