My favorite is the feather cape cause you can fly with it, float with it , and attack with it.

None of them.

Cape: I don't like the cape because I suck at flying with it. Besides I rarely use it to fly and instead use it to land safely on a platform.

Raccoon power up: No because it doesn't last very long. I don't use it unless their's coins pointing up in the air. Don't forget about the P-Wing which makes an entire level too easy because you can fly over the entire level.

Wing Cap: No, I hate the controls of the wing cap in SM64. That annoying level where you get 8 red coins by flying from cloud to cloud with wings to get a secret star makes me very mad because screwing up which happens almost all the time because of bad controls means a long walk back to the entrance of the level.

If I wanted to fly, I would use a Blue Yoshi because flying is very easy with him plus it's limited amount of time instead of an entire level like the P-Wing.

I like the raccoon tail.

The cape in SMW, a bit much I think. Flying over the whole level isnt fun... which is why I hate the Pwing as well

The wing cap, was nearly perfect, but it really had limited uses... you couldnt attack anyone with it... all it did was... fly, which was fine... but...

Raccoon tail, you had flying ability, but you couldnt fly over the whole level. It was enough to get you to secrets, but nowhere further, and you could still attack with it.

Being able to fly doesnt mean being able to do it indefinitley. Even birds have to rest now and then. Planes have to stop for fuel, and helecopters, well, same thing as planes. Raccoon tail came pretty close to emulating that

What about the rocket from SMS?

They all either make it to hard or too easy.

The cape sucks overall. You can fly over the entire level. and let's not forget when you got hit you just fell from the sky. You should have lost your entire power-up.

I HATE THE WING CAP FOR SO MANY REASONS! First off, it's not much useful. It's not really flying because you go down and more than likely, can't fly back up. Taking off is hard.

Raccon tail is okay, as long as it's not the P-wing.

I may be mistaken, but wasn't there another thread based on this?

Shouldn't none of the above be... Y'know... The bottom option?

Also this poll saddens me for a number of reasons, most of them dealing with the lack of flying yoshis and P-Balloons

I like both "Flying Cape", and "P-Balloon". However, seem to like Flying Cape better. I hate having to keep pressing the button over and over again just to fly using that P-Balloon or whatever...

I like the wing cap, flying in 3D is fun when you have a handle on the controls.

Raccoon Power all the way. Mario looks cool with a tail. The cape makes him kinda look like Superman.

Yeah. The Wing Cap is also pretty nice. It was actually my favorite power up on Super Mario 64. Very difficult for me to use though...

The wing cap's cool, but raccoon power is by far the easiest to control. Not only is it easy to move horizontally, but vertically as well. Cape can really only go up once and then down again. The wing cap is better, but the control is too loose.

"The cape sucks overall. You can fly over the entire level. and let's not forget when you got hit you just fell from the sky. You should have lost your entire power-up." The Cape is the best out of all.

I kinda like the cape, easy to use, you can stay at different areas in the sky, for however long you want.

Raccoon I didn't really like for some reason, it just . . kinda . . I dunno, not as good as the others.

Wing cap was good, hard to learn, and those challenges like when you get the wing cap and the one near Rainbow Ride were tough, but other then that, it was cool.

Flying yoshi is good, I don't see any problems with that, easy to use, but you can't get hit at all, or else it's bye-bye

P-balloon - no comment . .

Cape, it was the only one that marginally made any sense.

Quite true My vote is for the cape as well, in case anyone wonders. Just in case you want some reasons for that choice, here you go:

:: You can actually stay in the air for an unlimited amount of time with the cape, provided there are no obstacles or enemies in your way, and you know how to keep up in the air with it (and I'd assume pretty much anyone who's played SMW thoroughly knows how to ) I realize you can do pretty much the same thing with the blue yoshi, but, as I remember, it's prone to falling alot faster if you stop pressing the button, and it's taller than mario with the cape, which makes it easier to get hit by enemies.
:: Getting hit by an enemy while you're in the air just causes you to fall, instead of actually taking your cape away. That's especially useful when trying to fly over a large pit, as even if you ran into an enemy, you still might have a chance to float over to the nearest solid piece of land. Even if you're not flying high in the sky, you can still use that trick to get through a particularly difficult section of any given level, provided there's enough space for you to get a run long enough to "activate" the cape.
:: Attacking with the cape is a lot easier than using the leaf, or a blue yoshi. For both of those, you have to be facing the enemy / whatever else you feel the need to hit, whereas with the cape, you could have enemies coming at you from both sides, and still be able to escape safely. Also, if I remember correctly, falling from a high height and landing on a solid piece of ground while still flying, will affect some enemies.

There's three reasons for you, but I feel they cover pretty much all of why I prefer the cape over the other powerups
