Um try vertical recovery? We all know Mario can't cape down...
Nice try, but it doesn't quite work that way, otherwise caping Luigi's Nado and TL's upB would be useless. Even then, Mario doesn't have to cape you just once. Doesn't help that Ness is light either...the lighter you are, the further you're pushed.
(I know...mid weight...he's not heavy though. That's what I'm saying.)
