+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.
-A '''Cloaking Device''' is an item in [[Super Smash Bros. Melee]] that makes the user invisible, though movement slightly reveals their position. Damage cannot be added while a character is invisible, but knockback still applies, meaning you can still KO invisible characters. Every time you KO an opponent while invisible, you get points for an Invisible KO bonus. Lasts 10 seconds.
+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.

+==Origin==
+[[File:CloakingDevicePD.png|left|thumb|150px|A player using a Cloaking Device in ''{{s|wikipedia|Perfect Dark}}'']]
+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.

-When you use the cloaking device, you are invisible to other players to some extent (See above for details). The same applys to when computers use the cloaking device, you can only see them to some extent, however when a human player is playing against a computer and the human player uses a cloaking device the computer is not affected in anyway. The computer can still see the human player as though it wasn't cloaked at all.
+==Overview==
+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.
+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.
