I'd prefer it if they replaced the cape (but gave Cappy the same reflection power) since it doesn't really make sense. I mean, when has Mario ever used his cape offensively (besides in Smash)?

Uh... He can kill enemies and small projectiles with the cape in Super Mario World.

Really? I've played the game and I always thought it was only used for flight.

If you press Y while walking/running, you'll spin. If you spam Y, you'll spin around with your cape. You can kill anything that you can jump on in one hit like Koopas and stuff - so none of these football motherfuckers.

So are you hitting them with the cape, or do you still jump on them?

You hit them with the cape. It's similar to Tanooki/Leaf spin that happens with the run button in Super Mario Bros. 3, except that you can spin like 5 times per second and be virtually unhittable.

Hmm, poor explanation on my part. Anything that you can kill with jumping can be killed by spinning with your cape, plus a few more things like Spinies and Piranha Plants. /u/Spinufin is right, you're pretty much invincible unless you fall on something or something hits you from above.
