The Super Scope, known as the Nintendo Scope in the PAL version of Super Smash Bros. Brawl (スーパースコープ, Sūpā Sukōpu), is a shooting item that appears in Super Smash Bros. Melee, Brawl, and Super Smash Bros. 4, based on a real-life peripheral from Nintendo.
Origin
The Super Scope was released in September 1992 in the United States and European markets (the latter as the Nintendo Scope), shortly after the release of the actual Super Nintendo Entertainment System; the item was not sold in large quantities in Japan. The Super Scope was intended to act as a successor to the wikipedia:Zapper, and as a result, functionally acted almost identical to its predecessor. Both were light guns, though the Super Scope was wireless and took on a shape more similar to that of a bazooka.
In both the United States and Europe, the peripheral came bundled with Super Scope 6 (Nintendo Scope 6 in Europe). The game featured six games within it that all acted as introductions to the Super Scope itself. In one of these games, Confront, the player is tasked with stopping an invasion of enemy ships; in order to do so, they were given an endless stockpile of ammunition that they could fire at these ships. These shots were small and yellow, and these rounds would later reappear as the primary output of the weapon in the Smash Bros. series.
Operation
In both Melee and Brawl, the Super Scope acts as a long-ranged weapon that the user can wield in order to not only increase their range, but their raw power as well. If the player constantly taps the A button, they will fire a constant stream of small shots, each of which do little knockback and damage, creating a "trapping" effect. Holding down the A button, however, charges the weapon, allowing for stronger and larger shots; at full power, the shots can deal in excess of 20% damage, with significant knockback potentially KOing opponents, as well as an added flame effect.
Super Scope shots are considered to be energy-based projectiles; as a result, they can be reflected and absorbed. In addition, the projectiles can potentially be deflected by weakly angled surfaces.
The Super Scope has limited ammunition reserves in it. Firing 48 small shots or three fully-charged shots is enough to deplete the Super Scope, and attempting to use it after it runs out of ammunition causes the user to attempt to shoot with the weapon; at this point, the player can throw the weapon at opponents for a little extra knockback and damage.
In Brawl, the Super Scope became slightly more flexible than its Melee incarnation. A buff added to all projectile weapons meant that characters could run and jump while using projectiles; in the case of the Super Scope, this makes it easier to land charged shots. However, uncharged shots no longer pass through enemies, making it more difficult to trap multiple enemies within a steady stream of shots.
Use in glitches
A rollover bug in Melee can cause the Super Scope to gain "infinite" ammunition. While this is a useful glitch in itself, it is often used in order to perform the Black hole glitch,
Damage Table
In Brawl, the momentum of a projectile will affect the damage a character will receive; these are recorded in bounces.

Stages
These are the stages of damages and knockback for the Super Scope in Brawl. There are a total of eight stages with seven stages of charging and the fully charged stage, each stage increases the damage and knockback that the Super Scope does.

Trivia
- The Super Scope was intended to be held somewhat similarly to a rocket launcher, with the back of the weapon resting on the user's shoulder and the user peering down the scope. While some characters wield the weapon correctly, such as Fox and Peach, a majority instead hold the weapon underneath their shoulder more akin to a rifle.
- A weapon similar to the Super Scope is wielded by Scope Primids in Brawl's Subspace Emissary. This weapon, however, can be fired upward and does not feature multiple charging stages.
