'''Cape''' ({{ja|スーパーマント|Sūpā Manto}}, ''Super Mantle'') is [[Mario]]'s [[side special move]]. Mario brings out a cape and swings it in front of him, [[reflect]]ing [[projectile]]s and spinning hit [[character]]s in the opposite direction.

==Overview==
==Overview==
Mario brings out a cape and swings it in front of him, [[reflect]]ing [[projectile]]s and [[reverse|reversing]] hit [[character]]s.
The cape can flip [[shield]]ing opponents. Also, the cape will briefly reverse an opponent's momentum. Shortly after an opponent is flipped in the opposite direction, if they make a directional input such as a forward [[roll]], they will instead roll backwards. This seems to affect most, (including [[buffer]]ed), inputs made while being caped.

The Cape can also be used for multiple advanced [[tech]]niques; [[Cape glide]], the Cape Dash (reverse Cape glide), the Cape Boost (Meta Knight insta-kill), Cape Induced Landing Lag, and [[Edge Cape-cancel]].

'''Super Sheet''' ({{ja|スーパーシーツ|Sūpā Shītsu}}, ''Super Sheet''), sometimes referred to as Cape, is the [[side special move]] Dr. Mario uses in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]'' and ''[[Super Smash Bros. 4]]''. This attack is almost identical to Mario's Cape attack - the differences are that Super Sheet is slightly larger, does slightly more damage (up to 12% rather than 10%), and has less lag. Its only disadvantage is that Super Sheet only moves Dr. Mario upwards once in ''Melee'', and not at all in ''Super Smash Bros. 4'', making it less useful as a recovery.

===Glitches===
*When Mario uses his Cape on an enemy that is increasing their height (jumping, mid-air jump, recoveries, footstool jump etc), the enemy will increase their height much higher than normal.
*If Cape hits an opponent about to [[Sweet spot (ledge)|sweetspot]] a ledge, the target will go into a ledge grab animation in the opposite direction. The opponent's edge recovery will also be performed in reverse, after which the glitch ends. [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aqOZ2P4VCmY]

==Cape jump glitch==
The '''Cape jump glitch''' is a [[glitch]] that only Mario can perform in ''Melee'', ''Brawl'', and ''Smash 4''. This glitch occurs when Mario uses his Cape on an enemy that is increasing their height (jumping, mid-air jump, recoveries, footstool jump etc). The enemy will increase their height much higher than normal.

Originating from ''{{s|mariowiki|Super Mario World}}'', the Cape was a power-up obtained from the {{s|mariowiki|Cape Feather}}, which transformed Mario into {{s|mariowiki|Cape Mario}}; this enabled Mario or [[Luigi]] to attack with it by spinning, as well as fly great distances after a running start and float softly back to earth when falling. With enough speed it granted Mario the ability to glide through the air, and by diving and pulling up at regular intervals one could stay airborne for a very extensive period of time. While gliding one could also slam into the ground to create an earthquake capable of damaging all enemies on the screen. The cape Mario wields in ''Super Smash Bros.'' functions differently, being held in his hand rather than attached to his back, and Mario attacks by simply swinging it, rather than spinning around while wearing it. The ability for it to stall in midair and thus improve Mario's recovery may be a reduced version of its original ability to float and glide; its ability to reflect projectiles is new to ''Smash''.
In ''[[Super Mario World]]'' the Cape is a power-up obtained from the {{s|mariowiki|Cape Feather}}, which transforms Mario into {{s|mariowiki|Cape Mario}}. While wearing a Cape, Mario can perform a spinning attack, using it to attack enemies and destroy most projectiles. The cape can also be used to fly great distances after a running start and float softly back to earth when falling. With enough speed it grants Mario the ability to glide through the air, and by diving and pulling up at regular intervals one could stay airborne indefinitely; this might have inspired the Cape's ability to stall in midair in ''Smash''.
