The Cape can also be used for multiple advanced [[tech]]niques; [[Cape glide]], the Cape Dash (reverse Cape glide), the Cape Boost (Meta Knight insta-kill), Cape Induced Landing Lag, and [[Edge Cape-cancel]]. These techniques only work in ''Brawl''.

In ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]'', the animation is changed aesthetically, as Mario is now wearing the cape around his neck while he swings it. In addition, Cape now forces opponents to show their backside once reversed. Because of that, it is the only way to see the backside of characters with a mirrored stance (such as Mario himself) without using glitches. The Cape has recevied a change in Ultimate. The duration of the [[reflect]] [[hitbox]] now comes up at the [[frame]] 9 instead of the [[frame]] 6, decreasing its safety normally but to compensate for this, if a [[projectile]] comes close enough to [[Mario (SSBU)|Mario]], the attack becomes faster and [[reflect]]s the [[projectile]]s faster too.

===Glitches===
*When Mario uses his Cape on an enemy that is increasing their height (jumping, mid-air jump, recoveries, footstool jump, etc), the enemy will increase their height much higher than normal.
*If Cape hits an opponent about to [[Sweet spot (ledge)|sweetspot]] a ledge, the target [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aqOZ2P4VCmY will go into a ledge grab animation in the opposite direction]. The opponent's edge recovery will also be performed in reverse, after which the glitch ends.
*In ''Melee'', a glitch can occur which causes the Cape to become stuck to Mario's model.<ref name="meleecapeglitch">{{cite web |url=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BGuqUcPWXaM|title=SSBM Mario Cape Glitch|accessdate=2010-11-17|format=Video|author=DJR0|quote=To try to stimulate my hunger for Brawl, I was playing Melee on my Wii.

==Edge Cape-cancel==
The '''Edge Cape-cancel''' is an [[advanced technique]] in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'' that involves Cape. To perform the technique, simply grab or fall onto the [[edge]], then flick the [[Control stick]] away from the edge and perform Cape. If done correctly, Mario will perform the action, and the stalled descent the move provides will allow him to grab onto the edge again. This is done primarily to abuse the [[intangibility]] frames gained by grabbing the edge, effectively making approaching Mario very difficult if used multiple times in succession. This can also be used for [[edgeguarding]], as the Cape at the edge can [[Reflection|reflect]] opponents trying to recover. However, doing this technique optimally requires frame-perfect timing, as pressing the button too early will have Mario perform an [[edge attack]] instead, and pressing the button too late will wear off the intangibility frames and leave Mario vulnerable. That being said, there are few scenarios where being frame-perfect is necessary beyond stalling for time.<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1r2FEOw1hCI Edge Cape-cancel tutorial]</ref>

In ''[[Super Mario World]]'', the Cape is a power-up obtained from the {{s|mariowiki|Cape Feather}}, which transforms Mario into {{s|mariowiki|Cape Mario}}. While wearing a Cape, Mario can perform a spinning attack, using it to attack enemies and destroy most projectiles. Additionally, by holding the jump button while airborne Mario can slow down his fall. The cape can also be used to fly great distances after a running start: in this state, Mario can stay airborne indefinitely by diving and pulling up at regular intervals, which allows him to skip large portions of some levels. The Cape's floating capabilities in its source game could have inspired its ability to stall Mario in midair in [[Super Smash Bros. (series)|''Smash Bros''.]]
