Fly in Super Mario World

Flying is a difficult, but very cool trick in Super Mario World, with a lot of perks to the action. Whether you want to avoid a certain enemy or want to glide all the way to the finish line, this is something to do in the game.

Steps

  1. Finish the first castle in the game. The cape feather that enables you to fly is not accessible until you have finished the first castle and are at the level titled Donut Plains 1.
  2. Acquire the feather. This can be done via a question mark box, finding it in mini-games, or stomping on a flying Koopa with a flashing cape.
  3. Find an empty stretch of flat land. Run along it, using the right arrow and the Y button, until Mario swings his arms open.
  4. Press the B button to jump. Continue holding down the Y button.
  5. Press the arrow button of the opposite direction you're heading in. If you are heading to the right, use the left arrow. If you are heading to the left, use the right arrow. Tap it every second or two, while continuing to hold down the Y button.



Tips

  • If you want to be in the air for an extended amount of time, tap back. You can start to crawl up the screen if you time this correctly.
  • To fly higher, tap the arrow button at a faster pace.
  • To fly slower or drift, hold "Y" down and press the opposite direction button he's moving in.
  • To perform the "ground pound" move, hold "Y" and the "Down" button at the same time. This move is great for hitting the ground with a blast to kill most land enemies.
