Rope Snake
Rope Snake is a character in Mother 3. Duster received him from the ghosts of Osohe Castle. Rope Snake helps Duster and his friends cross pits by allowing him to latch onto candlesticks on the wall. Rope Snake is also used later to grab the getaway ship at Thunder Tower, but he does not have the strength to lift four people, so he is captured with Duster in Saturn Valley, where they turn up hung on a clothesline. After the party flies back to Tazmily Village by holding onto a cage of birds, Rope Snake fails a second time, and leaves the party. During the credits it is shown he changed his name to Snake Rope to help live with the shame of his failure.
In Super Smash Bros.
The Rope Snake is Lucas' Grab attack. He can also use it as a Tether Recovery, similarly to Samus's and Link's grabs (Grapple Beam and Clawshot, respectively), although it has a much shorter reach than these tether recoveries. It also makes an appearance as Lucas' Side Taunt; he converses with the rope snake after it taps him on the shoulder.
Trivia
- When used as a tether recovery, it is only slightly shorter than Ivysaur's Vine Whip.
- In MOTHER 3, Lucas did not use a Rope Snake; the item actually belonged to Duster, who purchased it from the ghosts living in Osohe castle. The Rope Snake was actually a character that talked and was used as a rope to swing across pits and as a tether to hang from edges.
