'''Cape''' is [[Mario]]'s side special move that has appeared in every ''[[Super Smash Bros. (series)|Super Smash Bros.]]'' game since ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]'', based on the [[Cape Mario]] form. Mario swings the cape forward, and instead of launching opponents it causes them to turn around. If used while an opponent is [[smashwiki:shield|shielding]], it flips them instead. The cape also reflects projectiles. The first time Cape is used in midair between leaving the ground and returning to it, it briefly stops Mario's falling and moves him forward a bit.
The '''Cape''' is a magical item first appearing in ''[[Super Mario World]]'' as well as its [[Game Boy Advance]] [[Super Mario World: Super Mario Advance 2|remake]]. [[Mario]] and [[Luigi]] gain it upon touching a [[Cape Feather]] (an item usually found in [[? Block]]s), and it gives them the ability to fly, among other things.


In ''[[Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island]]'' and its Game Boy Advance [[Yoshi's Island: Super Mario Advance 3|remake]], [[Baby Mario]] could get a cape and become invincible by touching a [[star]]; [[Yoshi]], upon doing this, would turn into a [[Yoshi Egg]] and follow with the rest of the eggs.
In ''[[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS]]'' and ''[[Super Smash Bros. for Wii U]]'', Cape has two unlockable custom variants. The first one is '''Shocking Cape''', which gives the cape an electric effect and deals greater damage and knockback, but destroys projectiles rather than reflecting them and no longer reverses the opponent's direction. The Cape can also be customized to '''Gust Cape''', with gives the cape a wind effect which can push opponents, but deals less damage.<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BDsmjbifWUk</ref>


The cape also makes an appearance in ''[[Super Mario Bros. 3#Super Mario Advance 4: Super Mario Bros. 3|Super Mario Advance 4: Super Mario Bros 3]]''. It could only be obtained by using an [[e-Reader]] card to scan the feather in to the player's item inventory. The feather and in turn the cape was also found in the Japan-only [[World-e]] level [[Henshin Mario de Tsukisusume!!]]. The cape has the same effects as it does in ''Super Mario World''.
In ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]'', it has a different animation: Mario now wears the Cape around his neck when he uses it, like in ''[[Super Mario World]]''.


Mario later uses it as an attack in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]'' and ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]''. It is his Side + B move. While this attack is not particularly powerful, it is useful in that it can deflect certain projectile attacks. It can also make the foe spin around, and face the other direction.
[[Dr. Mario]]'s [[Super Sheet]] functions similarly to this move.


The cape makes a cameo appearance in [[Mario Superstar Baseball]] and [[Mario Super Sluggers]] in Mario heroes logo.

In the comic series ''[[Super Mario Adventures]]'', the cape is used multiple times by the protagonists in the story. The cape is first seen to being used by [[Princess Peach|Peach]] who uses the cape to escape from [[Bowser's Castle]] to get away from the tormenting of the [[Koopalings]]. The cape is later used by [[Toad]] to scout out for assistance in order to help himself as well as Mario, Luigi, Yoshi, and Peach find a way back home to Peach's Castle after having defeated [[Bowser]] and his forces.

Mario's side special move in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate.
Mario using Cape in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate

Cape is Mario's side special move that has appeared in every Super Smash Bros. game since Super Smash Bros. Melee, based on the Cape Mario form. Mario swings the cape forward, and instead of launching opponents it causes them to turn around. If used while an opponent is shielding, it flips them instead. The cape also reflects projectiles. The first time Cape is used in midair between leaving the ground and returning to it, it briefly stops Mario's falling and moves him forward a bit.

In Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS and Super Smash Bros. for Wii U, Cape has two unlockable custom variants. The first one is Shocking Cape, which gives the cape an electric effect and deals greater damage and knockback, but destroys projectiles rather than reflecting them and no longer reverses the opponent's direction. The Cape can also be customized to Gust Cape, with gives the cape a wind effect which can push opponents, but deals less damage.[1]

In Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, it has a different animation: Mario now wears the Cape around his neck when he uses it, like in Super Mario World.

Dr. Mario's Super Sheet functions similarly to this move.
