'''Sharking''' is the act of going underneath a stage to attack opponents from below. Its name directly references [[Wikipedia:Shark|sharks]], which swim close enough to the surface of the water so that their dorsal fins are seen overhead. It is best performed by characters with multiple jumps such as {{SSBB|Meta Knight}} and [[Kirby]], who will be able to recover after performing sharking. It is performed on stages containing [[Platform #Semisoft platforms|semisoft platforms]], which can be traveled up through, but not downward through. It can also be performed on stages with thin [[Platform #Hard platforms|hard platforms]], such as [[Jungle Japes]]. It is most notably performed on [[Delfino Plaza]] and [[Halberd]]. The principle behind sharking is that while underneath the stage, a character can attack and/or [[shield damage|damage shields]] relatively safely, and their opponent has few options to counterattack. However, an experienced player can perform a [[meteor smash]] on a sharker, which usually results in the sharker's death. | '''Sharking''' is the act of going underneath a stage to attack opponents from below.
