Cloaking Device.

A Cloaking Device is an item in Super Smash Bros. Melee that makes the user invisible, though movement subtly reveals their position with slight flickering and visible edges. Damage is not dealt while a character is invisible, but knockback still applies, meaning invisible characters can still be KO'd. While invisible, each opponent KO'd will add points for an Invisible KO bonus. The invisibility lasts 10 seconds.

Cloaking Device and Computers

When the cloaking device is used, the character is invisible to other players to some extent. However, computer-controlled characters are not affected by the Cloaking Device and continue fighting as if the opponent was not cloaked at all.
