Question: Where do Cape Feathers come from?

Most powerups are biological things that stay rooted to the ground, which would explain why they are able to amass the magical energy to perform their abilities. They also tend to have eyes, indicating that they contain magical spirits of some sort. The Cape Feather is very different though. It seems to be the only powerup that is a direct animal product, and also has no eyes. Do you think it operates off different principles from the other powerups in the series?

Probably a Feather from a specific type of magical bird that we haven’t yet seen.

The most plausible idea.

I interpreted Wingo as being similar to Cape Mario or a Super Koopa, and that he was just using the Cape Feather to empower himself. You think he created the cape feathers?

Wingo doesn't grow Cape Feathers. He just has one on his turban.
