Mario pulls out a cape and swings it in front of him, [[reflect]]ing [[projectile]]s and [[reverse|reversing]] hit [[character]]s. The cape starts to reflect projectiles at [[frame]] 6. This also applies to [[Dr. Mario]] with his [[Super Sheet]]. The cape has a multiplier of 1.5× when a [[projectile]] is [[reflected]].

Cape, along with Super Sheet, has the unique ability among reflecting moves to flip the opponent on the x-axis, no matter what direction the opponent was facing. This does not interrupt any animations, meaning the opponent has to wait before the animation completes to act again, putting Mario at a great positional advantage. Cape can even flip [[shield]]ing opponents. Also, the cape will briefly reverse an opponent's momentum (not in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]''). Shortly after an opponent is flipped in the opposite direction, if they make a directional input such as a forward [[roll]], they will instead roll backward. This seems to affect most (including [[buffer]]ed) inputs made while being caped. This also does not work in ''Melee''.

Mario's Cape deals no knockback and never makes opponents [[flinch]] except for in ''Melee'' when used on an opponent attempting a [[grab]], which deals slight knockback and in ''Ultimate'' when used on opponents grabbing the ledge. Characters hit with the cape while attempting a grab will be sent spiraling a short height into the air. This means that it will not interrupt attacks; rather, it only turns the enemy character around, leaving their hitbox active. It can leave [[recover]]ing characters unable to grab the [[ledge]]. This is less potent in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'' onward due to those games' differing ledge mechanics, in which characters can grab ledges regardless of which direction they are facing. However, this is alleviated by the move completely reversing the opponent's momentum, and briefly, their controls in those games. The cape can be broken in the same manner as any other reflector can; if the damage of the oncoming attack can break a [[shield]] in one hit, the cape will not work and Mario will be [[stun]]ned (in ''Melee'') or get hit by the attack (since ''Brawl''). In ''Super Smash Bros. 4'', Mario's Cape can reflect projectiles behind him as it is swung from his back upon use, but it requires good timing. The damage has been nerfed over time (10/8 in ''Melee'' to 8/6 in ''Brawl'' and 7 in ''Smash 4'' onward). The move has a sweet spot closer to Mario in ''Melee'' and the move is weaker in ''Melee'' and ''Brawl''. This move can also be [[B-reverse]]d.
