'''Shield''' is a defensive ability in all six [[Super Smash Bros. (series)|''Super Smash Bros.'' games]]. In ''[[Super Smash Bros.]]'', it is used by pressing {{button|n64|Z}}, and in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]'', it is {{button|gcn|L}} or {{button|gcn|R}}. In ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'' onward, the shield button changes based on the controller and can also be mapped to a different button. Upon pressing the shield button, a circle will appear (or an [[Yoshi Egg|Egg]] in [[Yoshi]]'s case) that will protect the player. The color of the shield depends on the player or team color, which is shown on the character select screen. CPUs will have a grey shield. If a player has the shield on for too long or it is broken by attacks or items, then the shield will break, causing the character to be stunned. They will not be able to move for a couple of seconds, allowing other players to attack them. A shield will also appear if the player continues holding the grab button after the grab has failed.
'''Shield''' is an ability in all three [[Super Smash Bros. (series)|''Super Smash Bros.'' games]] and also in ''[[Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Winter Games]]''. In ''Super Smash Bros.'', it is performed by pressing the Z button.

In ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'', there are four different control types. With the [[Wii Remote]] by itself, the player can use the Shield by pressing the B Button (by default). Unlike in ''Melee'' however, players have no control over the shield's strength.

In all three games, there is a way to "Roll" with a shield, by tilting the control stick right or left while in shield mode. Additionally, in ''Melee'' and ''Brawl'', players can perform sidestep dodges to avoid attacks.
