}}A '''Cloaking Device''' is an item in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]'' that makes the user invisible. Damage is not dealt while a character is invisible (not even self-damage), 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. [[Slippy Toad|Slippy]] hints in one event match that the Cloaking Device is of his own invention; however, the trophy and look of the device makes reference to Perfect Dark.

==Origin==
[[File:CloackingDevicePD.png|thumb|left|150px|A player using a cloaking device in ''Perfect Dark''.]]
The cloaking device made it's first appearance in ''Perfect Dark''. The cloaking device was an item that uses a refractive field to make whoever is using it invisible. The item is useful as the enemies aren't able to see the player using it; however, when the player fires his or her guns, the person turns visible again. Enemies of ''Silent Dark'' are also able to use the cloaking device. In ''Melee'', the cloaking device makes any player who uses it invisible. Also, when the player attacks, the invisibility is disrupted making the player visble for a short period of time. [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yXrduzNFBjk]

==In the Super Smash Bros. series==
Using names allows an invisible player to easily track themselves, as the tag is still visible while cloaked, and any personal items they use, such as Mario's cloak in ''Brawl'', or Snake when he uses Cypher. Characters themselves are not completely invisible - the cloak flickers about one every three or four seconds, and the faster a character moves, the more obvious they become (becoming temporarily completely visible when attacking). The transparency effect is generated by environment mapping, which also makes the character's outline visible when in front of any opponent, item, or special effect.

Since players are unable to see their own cloaked characters, the primary benefit of the item is the damage immunity. Computer-controlled characters are not affected by the Cloaking Device and continue fighting as if the opponent was not cloaked at all.

While the item itself is absent, in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]''<nowiki>'</nowiki>s [[Special Brawl]] mode, a modifier named "Clear" is available.  Turning this option on makes all characters invisible, similar to the effect caused through use of the Cloaking Device. However, the Cloaking Device itself does not return (most likely its affiliation with the now-Microsoft-owned [[Rare]]), and no new item was introduced to replace it.

Additionally, in [[Co-Op Event 6: Unwanted Suitors]], the opponents will be invisible in the same way.

Similar to when the [[Nintendog]] is summoned, name labels will also be hidden during clear Brawl.

-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.

-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, although it works for a limited, cumulative time.

-==Overview==
-The Cloaking Device turns the user invisible. If playing with a [[name]], the tag will also disappear, and any "props" that a character uses, such as {{SSBM|Mario}}'s [[Cape]] or {{SSBM|Link}}'s [[Hookshot]], will also become invisible (though any held items will remain visible). In addition, a cloaked fighter is immune to damage, and [[recoil damage]] is negated. However, cloaked fighters still take any [[hitstun]] or [[knockback]] inflicted on them.
-While standing completely still will make the player completely invisible, movement of any sort disrupts the device's powers. While walking or jumping, the background behind the player will appear to "bend" in their shape, and faster movements, such as midair jumps or dashing, will cause the "bends" to become even more visible. While attacking, the player can even become temporarily visible for a brief moment. Regardless of movement, the effects of the cloaking device become more unreliable in the last second of its use.
-The cloaking device's effects wear off after ten seconds.

-|desc=This state-of-the-art camouflage device bends light rays in such a way that players using it appear almost invisible. The device fosters confusion, and players using it will not take damage while cloaked. This does not mean, however, that players become invulnerable, so they can still be sent reeling or flying across the screen, depending on their damage percentages.
