In Super Mario 3D World, players can float for a short period using the Double Cherry power-up or Float with Peach, but they cannot fly in the classical sense like they can with the Tanooki Leaf in Super Mario Bros. 3 or the Cape Feather in Super Mario World. The ability to float or glide through the air is the closest players can get to flying in Mario 3D, which can be particularly useful for navigating through challenging levels and reaching hidden areas.
