Back Shield
From Mariopedia, a wiki on Mario, Yoshi, Wario, Donkey Kong, Super Smash Bros., and more!
The Back Shield is an item from Kid Icarus: Uprising that also appears in Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS / Wii U. When it is picked up, it appears behind the fighter and protects them from most attacks from behind; it does not defend, however, from grabs and piercing moves. The more it is attacked, however, the less time the shield remains active. The Back Shield stays behind the player no matter what direction they are facing.

| Back Shield | File:BackShieldTrophyWiiU.png | 3DS Kid Icarus: Uprising (03/2012) | This durable, defensive shield comes to Smash Bros. from Kid Icarus: Uprising. If you pick it up, it will attach itself to you, protecting your back from most threats. It won't stop grabs or piercing attacks, however, and it only lasts so long before vanishing. |
