Many characters wear a cap:

Some caps give to the characters certain special abilities:

  • Wing Cap, which allows to fly.
  • Invisible Cap, turning the character intangible.
  • Metal Cap, when wearing this cap, the character becomes metallic and invincible.

Trivia

  • Jumpman was not supposed to have a hat, instead he was supposed to have hair. But the quality and graphics back then made it impossible to put hair on a moving sprite, so they gave him his famous red cap.
