A line of dialogue in the second game suggests Sam ditched the mask because it was getting itchy. In addition, the first game is the only one that doesn't start with you looking for his cape, rather you actually search for the three items that eventually become the key items you need to retrieve.
** Unlike the later games where you need to collect/rescue 4 items, this game only requires 3.
