Mario pulls out a cape and swings it in front of him, [[reflect]]ing [[projectile]]s and [[reverse|reversing]] hit [[character]]s. The | Mario pulls out a cape and swings it in front of him, [[reflect]]ing [[projectile]]s and [[reverse|reversing]] hit [[character]]s. The Cape starts to reflect projectiles at the frame 6, this also applies to [[Dr. Mario]] with his Super Sheet. | ||
The cape can flip [[shield]]ing opponents. Also, the cape will briefly reverse an opponent's momentum except for in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]''. 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. This also does not work in ''Melee''. | |||
Mario's Cape deals no knockback and | Mario's Cape deals up to 10% [[damage]], dealing no knockback and doesn't make opponents [[flinch]] except for in ''Melee'' when used used on an opponent attempting a [[grab]], which deals slight knockback. 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 is less potent in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'' and ''[[Super Smash Bros. 4]]'' due to their differing ledge mechanics, in which characters can grab ledges regardless of which direction they are facing. The cape can be broken in the same manner as any other reflecting attack can; if the damage the oncoming attack can break a [[shield]] in one hit, the cape will not work and Mario will be [[stun]]ned (in ''Melee'') or get hit by the attack (since ''Brawl''). In ''Super Smash Bros. 4'', Mario's Cape can reflect projectiles behind him as it is swung from his back upon use, but it requires timing. The damage has been nerfed over time (10/8 in ''Melee'' to 8/6 in ''Brawl'' and 7/5 in ''Smash 4''). The move has a sweetspot closer to Mario in ''Melee'' and the move is weaker in the air in all games. | ||
If used on someone in ''Brawl'' while taking knockback from an attack, it multiplies the distance by about 1.6. | If used on someone in ''Brawl'' while taking knockback from an attack, it multiplies the distance by about 1.6. | ||

In ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]'', the animation is changed aesthetically, | In ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]'', the animation is changed aesthetically, with Mario now wearing the cape around his neck while he swings it. In addition, Cape now forces opponents to face the other direction, show their back side, and briefly reverse their controls. Because of that, it is the only way to see the back side of characters with mirrored stance without using glitches. | ||
===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 [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aqOZ2P4VCmY 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. | |||
*In ''Melee'', a glitch can occur which causes the Cape to become stuck to Mario's model. <ref name="meleecapeglitch">{{cite web |url=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BGuqUcPWXaM |title=SSBM Mario Cape Glitch |accessdate=2010-11-17 |format=Video |author=DJR0 |quote=To try to stimulate my hunger for Brawl, I was playing Melee on my Wii.

[[File:SuperSheetWiiU.jpg|thumb|Super Sheet in ''Smash 4''.]] | |||
'''Super Sheet''' ({{ja|スーパーシーツ|Sūpā Shītsu}}, ''Super Sheet'') [[Dr. Mario]]'s version of Cape. It deals more damage than Cape (up to 12% rather than 10%). A disadvantage is that Super Sheet only stalls Dr. Mario once in ''Melee'', and not at all in ''Super Smash Bros. 4'' and ''Ultimate'', making it less useful as a recovery option. In ''Super Smash Bros. 4'', Dr. Mario can reflect projectiles behind him as he must swing it from his back upon use, though this needs precise timing. The move has more vertical but less horizontal range than Mario's Cape. In ''SSB4'', it also has a longer window of time to reflect projectiles than Mario's, making it easier to use as a reflector. In ''Ultimate'', it gains a different animation to reflect its greater vertical range compared to the Cape. | |||

# '''Shocking Cape''': The move has very slightly more startup, and moderately increased ending lag. The Cape has an [[Electric|electrical]] effect that does 11.2% damage and decent knockback, KOing Mario at 99% at the ledge. | # '''Cape/Super Sheet''': Default. | ||
# '''Gust Cape''': The Cape is granted a small windbox which can [[push]] opponents, with the | # '''Shocking Cape/Sheet''': The move has very slightly more startup, and moderately increased ending lag. The Cape/Sheet has an [[Electric|electrical]] effect that does 11.2% damage and decent knockback, KOing Mario at 99% at the ledge. but it destroys projectiles instead of reflecting them (though this could be considered more potent against controllable ones) and cannot turn the opponent's facing direction. The ability for {{SSB4|Mario}} to stall in the air is still retained to a lesser extent, but any horizontal momentum Mario had when performing the move will be preserved. | ||
# '''Gust Cape/Breezy Sheet''': The Cape/Sheet is granted a small windbox which can [[push]] opponents, with the sweetspot and sourspot being indicated by two visual effects. It retains much of the functions of the regular Cape, but the move has more startup and ending lag and does slightly less damage than the regular Cape, only dealing 5% damage, although it has the same reflection multiplier. The move also stalls Mario in the air slightly more effectively (comparable to Brawl), and does not reduce his momentum as much. | |||

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. Additionally, by holding the jump button while airborne Mario can slow down his fall. The cape can also be used to fly great distances after a running start: in this state Mario can stay airborne indefinitely by diving and pulling up at regular intervals, which allows him to skip large portions of some levels. The Cape's floating capabilities in its source game could have inspired its ability to stall Mario in midair in [[Super Smash Bros. (series)|''Smash Bros''.]] | ||

When hitting both a [[Bob-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.
