while the cape was cool, it was completly broken. I can't count the number of times I skipped entire stages with the thing. Same goes for the Racoon, but not quite as broken however it would have made getting star coins way too easy. As for the frog suit, it got replaced by one of the best suits ever. The Penguin suit. It does everything. Shoot Ice, swim, slide on ice/water, walk on ice. Anyways, I just competed the entire game, and you will probably get to the point of pulling your hair out on a few stages trying to get the star coins. However, it is quite rewarding to have 5 sparkling stars on my save file |
I don't think the cape was broken by virtue of being too powerful (it certainly was much less useful than the P-Wing in SMB3); what was broken about the cape was that it was so damm easy to get one.
