Cape: Difference between revisions

'''Cape''' ({{ja|スーパーマント|Sūpā Manto}}, ''Super Mantle'') is [[Mario]]'s [[side special move]]. [[Dr. Mario]]'s version is the '''Super Sheet'''. Both have the ability to [[reflect]] [[projectile]]s and spin [[character]]s in the opposite direction. 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 makes a directional input such as a forward [[roll]], they will instead roll backwards. This seems to effect most, (including [[buffer]]ed), inputs made while being caped.

Mario's Cape deals up to 10% [[damage]], has no [[knockback]] and doesn't make the opponents [[flinch]] unless the cape is used on an opponent attempting a [[grab]] in ''Melee'' (then, knockback increases only slightly, while not enough to KO. Characters hit with the cape while attempting a grab will be sent spiraling a short height into the air). This means that it will not interrupt attacks; rather, it only turns the enemy character around leaving their hitbox active. It can leave [[recover]]ing characters unable to grab the [[ledge]]. This has less use in ''[[Brawl]]'' and ''[[Smash 4]]'' thanks to the different ledge mechanics which is that characters will grab a ledge regardless of which direction they are facing. The cape can be broken in the same manner as any other reflecting attack can. That is to say, if the damage that the oncoming attack would do would break a [[shield]] in one hit, the cape will not work and Mario or will enter broken shield animation or by hit by the move.

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 spin and attack with it, as well as fly great distances after a running start and float softly back to earth when falling. It grants the ability to glide through the air, and by diving and pulling up in a certain rhythm one can stay airborne for a very extensive period of time. While gliding one could slam into the ground to create an earthquake capable of damaging all enemies on the screen. The cape as a power-up in ''Super Mario World'' cannot function like it does in the ''Smash Bros.'' games and vice versa.  

*If Mario uses his Cape while in the [[Online Practice Stage]], the cape will look sparkly and be of a lower quality graphic.

*In ''Brawl'' and ''Smash 4'', the Cape momentarily gives the opponent [[super armor]] after it hits them. When hitting both a [[bomb-omb]] and an opponent at the same time, said opponent will take no knockback but full damage from the resulting explosion. If this is performed on Nana as she is KO'd, she will have a type of super armor when she respawns, lasting until she is KO'd again. She will be invulnerable to all attacks except [[grab]]s.<ref name="brawlcapenanasuperarmor">{{cite web |url=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5FLQllWySQg |title=~How to Play Mario: Cape Invincibility Frames [16/18] |format=Video |author=FireMario149 }}</ref>

*In ''SSB4'', when the cape hits an opponent, it makes the same sound from ''Super Mario World'', only sped up. The same happens with Dr. Mario's Super Sheet.
