The '''Super Scope''' ({{ja|スーパースコープ|Sūpā Sukōpu}}, ''Super Scope''), known as the '''Nintendo Scope''' in the [[PAL]] version of ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'', is a shooting item that appears in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]'', ''Super Smash Bros. Brawl'', ''[[Super Smash Bros. 4]]'', and ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]'', based on a real-life peripheral from Nintendo.

==Origin==

[[File:SuperScopePhoto.jpg|thumb|300px|left|The actual Super Scope.]]

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 {{s|wikipedia|Zapper}}, and as a result, functionally acted almost identical to its predecessor. Both were [[wikipedia:light gun|light guns]], though the Super Scope was wireless and took on a shape more similar to that of a [[wikipedia:Bazooka|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. When using it against aerial opponents, it will produce very weak [[meteor smash]], making it ineffective against opponents close to the stage. 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.

===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.

===In [[Smash Tour]]===

The Super Scope is one of the many trophy items that can be obtained during the Smash Tour mode. It has a red base, and when used it will allow the player to start one battle holding a Super Scope.
