| The '''Cloaking Device''' ({{ja|スパイクローク|Supai Kurōku}}, ''Spy Cloak'') is a transformation item exclusively appearing in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]'' that renders the user invisible and unable to take damage.
| |
|
| |
|
| While the item only appears in ''Melee'', the [[Clear]] transformation, which also debuted in ''Melee'' and has a similar effect, has appeared in all subsequent games.
| | A '''Cloaking Device''' is an item in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]'' that makes the user invisible, though movement subtly reveals their position with slight flickering and visible edges. Damage is not dealt while a character is invisible, but [[knockback]] still applies, meaning invisible characters can still be [[KO]]'d. While invisible, each opponent KO'd will add points for an Invisible KO bonus. The invisibility lasts 10 seconds. [[Slippy Toad|Slippy]] hints in one event match that the Cloaking Device is of his own invention. |

| |
| The Cloaking Device made its first appearance in ''Perfect Dark'', acting as an item that used a refractive field to make its user invisible. While invaluable if the player wishes to use stealth, using any weapons while using the device causes the player to turn visible again. Contrary to its depiction in ''Melee'', players who are damaged while cloaked will still take damage; in addition, the device's effects are permanent as long as the player does not fire a weapon, although it works for a limited, cumulative time.

| ==Overview==
| | When the cloaking device is used, the character is invisible to other players to some extent. However, computer-controlled characters are not affected by the Cloaking Device and continue fighting as if the opponent was not cloaked at all. |
| The Cloaking Device turns the user invisible. If playing with a [[name]], the tag will also disappear, and any "props" that a character uses, such as {{SSBM|Mario}}'s [[Cape]] or {{SSBM|Link}}'s [[Hookshot]], will also become invisible (though any held items will remain visible). In addition, a cloaked fighter is immune to damage, and [[recoil damage]] is negated. However, cloaked fighters still take any [[hitstun]] or [[knockback]] inflicted on them.

|
| While standing completely still will make the player completely invisible, movement of any sort disrupts the device's powers. While walking or jumping, the background behind the player will appear to "bend" in their shape, and faster movements, such as midair jumps or dashing, will cause the "bends" to become even more visible. While attacking, the player can even become temporarily visible for a brief moment. Regardless of movement, the effects of the cloaking device become more unreliable in the last second of its use.
| | ==In ''Super Smash Bros. Brawl''== |
| | In ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]''<nowiki>'</nowiki>s [[Special Brawl]] mode, a modifier named "Clear" is available. Turning this option on makes all characters invisible, similar to the effect caused through use of the Cloaking Device. While the Cloaking Device has been confirmed to return in ''Brawl'', it has not yet been covered in an official update. |
|
| |
|
| The cloaking device's effects wear off after ten seconds.

| |desc=This state-of-the-art camouflage device bends light rays in such a way that players using it appear almost invisible. The device fosters confusion, and players using it will not take damage while cloaked. This does not mean, however, that players become invulnerable, so they can still be sent reeling or flying across the screen, depending on their damage percentages.
