The '''Reflector''' ({{ja|リフレクター|Rifurekutā}}, ''Reflector''), informally known as the '''Shine''',  is [[Fox]]'s, [[Falco]]'s, and {{SSBB|Wolf}}'s [[down special move]]. When used, the user creates a blue or purple hexagonal energy field which acts as a shield, and deflects any [[reflect]]able attack from any angle. It can also be used to damage enemies in close proximity to the user when activated. If this shield deflects too many projectiles in one use, or if its user attempts to reflect a projectile of sufficient power (such as a constantly reflected Red or Green Shell), it will shatter, like a normal shield, and leave the user stunned. In ''[[Brawl]]'', the Reflector does not shatter. Rather, it simply ceases reflecting projectiles. It was revealed that the shield originates from a small device the user carries. How it is used and its effects depends on the user.

Fox and Falco can also perform a technique referred to as Shine Mining, a term coined and discovered by {{Sm|Darktooth}}, in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]''. It is performed by first shining in the location the player wishes to leave the shine mine. Then, when the player wishes to activate the mine, he/she must perform a shine drop through a platform anywhere on stage, and the mine will become an active reflector for exactly two frames starting from the 2nd frame after activation. It is important to note that the mine does not have the knockback and damage properties of the initial frames of a normal reflector - it can only reflect projectiles. The limited uses and difficult input timing make this technique extremely situational, but it can be used in various ways for [[edge-guarding]].
