The '''Reflector''', also called the '''Shine''',  is [[Fox McCloud|Fox]]'s, [[Falco Lombardi|Falco]]'s and [[Wolf O'Donnell|Wolf]]'s [[Down Special Move|down special move]]. When used, the user creates a blue, hexagonal energy field which acts as a shield, and  deflects any projectile from any angle (with the exception of [[Final Smash]]es). 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, it will shatter, like a normal shield, and leave the user stunned. In [[SSBB|Brawl]], 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===
Fox's Reflector creates a blue hexagonal shield around himself. Fox can keep the Reflector active for as long as he wants, and using it in midair slows his falling speed. (This works by reducing his air speed and resetting his downwards acceleration.) The Reflector is often used for [[shine spike]]s, which involve using the Reflector's damaging properties to knock recovering enemies downwards.
 
In [[SSB]], the Reflector caused a sound effect identical to the sound effect used for picking up [[item]]s. Because of this, Fox made a different sound when he grabbed items.

===Falco===
In [[SSBM]], Falco's Reflector is identical to Fox's, although it sends opponents upwards when used as an attack.
 
In [[SSBB]], Falco uses his Reflector by kicking it away from him when it is activated. It then returns as if magnetized. This is considered a projectle that is a reflector for projectile, and it travels through enemies unhindered. Because Falco kicks it, he cannot hold it in place. This means that when playing as Falco, the player must use precise timing to reflect things.When the Reflector comes back to Falco, it can also reflect any projectiles back at any angle at the last second.

===Wolf===
Wolf's Reflector, instead of creating a hexagonal, blue shield, produces an elliptical, magenta shield. While it is ordinary when used as a Reflector, and it does little damage as as attack, it gives Wolf a few frames of [[invincibility]] the instant it's activated, allowing him to live through [[one-hit KO]]s if timed correctly.
