Rocket Belt

The Rocket Belt (, Rocket Belt) is an item from the universe that appears in Super Smash Bros. 4 and Super Smash Bros. Ultimate.

Overview
When equipped, the user can use the Rocket Belt to fly around the stage, notably for recovery. After being equipped for a certain amount of time, the Rocket Belt will detach from the user and fly beyond the top of the screen or into a ceiling and explode, damaging anyone near it. A unique ability of the Rocket Belt is its random chance of cancelling the hitstun from the knockback its user receives, falling off of the user in the process. The Rocket Belt is more likely to cancel hitstun from an attack with high hitlag, though it still occasionally cancels hitstun from weaker attacks such as jabs, throws, or the initial hits of trapping final smashes. In the background of the Wuhu Island portion of Pilotwings, Miis can be seen flying around wearing them. The Rocket Belt is also one of the items that can be obtained in Smash Tour, allowing the user to start a battle with one equipped.

Origin
The Rocket Belt is an aircraft vehicle in the Pilotwings series, where one can complete various missions using the Rocket Belt. It is available at the start of the game, along with the plane and the hang glider.

Spirits
Equipping the Kalypso, Gyrowing, Baxter & Forthington, or Russ support spirits will give the player a Rocket Belt at a start of a match.

Trivia

 * When a player equips a Rocket Belt and a Super Leaf at the same time, the Rocket Belt takes priority, and the Super Leaf cannot be used until the Rocket Belt is lost, even when the belt runs out of fuel.
 * Even when tap jump is disabled, tapping up while in midair can still be used to fly upwards with the Rocket Belt.
