TRICK: This trick will allow you to get the cape on the first level without the risk of losing a life. Stand next to the hole where the cape is, then hold down and slowly tap to the right. If you did it correctly, your character should slowly inch his way underneath the two platforms, and you can grab the cape without any problem.
