Cloaking Device

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.

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 except ''[[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS]]''.

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.

Line 26:

The cloaking device's effects wear off after ten seconds.

~~===As a Special Melee option===~~

Within ''Melee''{{'}}s [[Special Melee]] mode, [[Invisible Melee]] forces every player to be under the effects of the Cloaking Device; contrary to its usual specifications, however, players still take damage in the mode. Like the item itself, names are also not displayed in the mode (aside from Melee)

While the item does not return for ''Brawl'', ''for Wii U'' and ''Ultimate'', a "Clear" modifier is available in the revamped [[Special Smash|Special Brawl/Smash]] mode, acting identically to Invisible Melee. [[Boo]], a [[Smash Tour]] item, allows the player to start a fight with similar effects to a Cloaking Device. In certain [[Spirit Battle]]s in ''Ultimate'', Spirit Battle [[conditions]] cause the opposing puppet fighter or all fighters to become temporarily or permanently invisible.

~~===In [[Event Match]]es===~~

[[Event 23: Slippy's Invention]] in ''Melee'' pits the player's character against {{SSBM|Fox}} and {{SSBM|Falco}} on [[Venom]], both of whom are under the effects of a permanent Cloaking Device, albeit more similar in function to Invisible Melee. At the start of the match, [[Slippy Toad]] says, "How's the cloaking device I invented?"; as the description of the match also says "Slippy: With my new device, you guys'll be invisible!", the match implies that Slippy invented the Cloaking Device that is used in ''Melee''.

''Brawl'' itself features [[Co-Op Event 6: Unwanted Suitors]], which acts similarly to Slippy's Invention. In the match, two players, as either {{SSBB|Zelda}} or {{SSBB|Zero Suit Samus}}, need to fight against {{SSBB|Luigi}} and {{SSBB|Captain Falcon}}, both of whom are under the effects of the "Clear" modifier.
