The '''Super Scope''' ({{ja|スーパースコープ|Sūpā Sukōpu}}, ''Super Scope''), known as the '''Nintendo Scope''' in the [[PAL]] version of ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'', is a shooting item that appears in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]'', ''Super Smash Bros. Brawl'', ''[[Super Smash Bros. 4]]'', and ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]'', based on a real-life peripheral from Nintendo.

The Super Scope was released in September 1992 in the United States and European markets (the latter as the Nintendo Scope), shortly after the release of the actual Super Nintendo Entertainment System; the item was not sold in large quantities in Japan. The Super Scope was intended to act as a successor to the {{s|wikipedia|Zapper}}, and as a result, functionally acted almost identical to its predecessor. Both were [[wikipedia:light gun|light guns]], though the Super Scope was wireless and took on a shape more similar to that of a [[wikipedia:Bazooka|bazooka]].

==Operation==

In both ''Melee'' and ''Brawl'', the Super Scope acts as a long-ranged weapon that the user can wield in order to not only increase their range, but their raw power as well. If the player constantly taps the A button, they will fire a constant stream of small shots, each of which do little knockback and damage, creating a "trapping" effect. When using it against aerial opponents, it will produce very weak [[meteor smash]], making it ineffective against opponents close to the stage. Holding down the A button, however, charges the weapon, allowing for stronger and larger shots; at full power, the shots can deal in excess of 20% damage, with significant knockback potentially KOing opponents, as well as an added [[flame]] effect.

A rollover bug in ''Melee'' can cause the Super Scope [[Infinite Super Scope Glitch|to gain "infinite" ammunition]]. While this is a useful glitch in itself, it is often used in order to perform the [[Black hole glitch]],

:''A peripheral device for the Super Nintendo Entertainment System, the Super Scope is a wireless weapon that shoots infrared light to a receiver placed on top of the television. In Super Smash Bros. Melee, it can be fired rapidly or charged up to release a more powerful blast. It only has enough energy for 3 charge shots. ''

:{{Flag|ntsc}} ''The wireless weapon from the SNES era can be used kind of like a bazooka in battle. Press the attack button rapidly to spray shots, or hold it down to charge up a powerful blast. The weapon's ammo won't last forever, however, so try not to get caught without juice left in your batteries.''

:{{Flag|pal}} ''This wireless peripheral for the SNES can be used as a kind of bazooka in this game. And it comes with two different firing modes! Press the attack button repeatedly or hold it down to try them out! However, depending on how you use it, the batteries might run out pretty quick. And if they do, the fun's over. That's it!''

*The Super Scope was intended to be held somewhat similarly to a rocket launcher, with the back of the weapon resting on the user's shoulder and the user peering down the scope. While some characters wield the weapon correctly, such as [[Fox]] and [[Peach]], some instead hold the weapon underneath their shoulder more akin to a rifle, while others hold it in more peculiar ways.
