Super Scope: Difference between revisions

The '''Super Scope''', known as the '''Nintendo Scope''' in British English, is a [[wikipedia:Light gun|light gun]] peripheral for the [[Super Nintendo Entertainment System]]. It fires an infrared beam that is picked up by a sensor placed on top of the television, and where on the screen it is aiming is determined by the sensor after calibrating the scope by shooting a test target screen. Various games utilized this hardware; the only ''[[Mario (franchise)|Mario]]''-related entry to utilize it was ''[[Yoshi's Safari]]'', where it was also seen and used by [[Mario]] in-game.

The Super Scope is frequently depicted in-game as a type of gun. Aside from its heavy use in ''Yoshi's Safari'', they also cameo as used by [[Sniper Bill]]s in ''[[Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga]]'' and [[Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga + Bowser's Minions|its remake]]. The peripheral can be seen in the ''[[WarioWare: Touched!]]'' [[microgame]], [[Gunslinger]]. In volume 8 of the ''[[Super Mario-Kun]]'', Mario uses a Super Scope (sent by [[Princess Peach]]) to defeat the [[Kurokyura]].

The Super Scope is featured as an item in the [[Super Smash Bros. (series)|''Super Smash Bros.'' series]] starting with ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]'', allowing players to fire energy balls at their opponents, either in dozens of small bullets or three large, charged-up shots (five in ''[[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS]]'' / ''[[Super Smash Bros. for Wii U|Wii U]]''). When a player repeatedly shoots small blasts in a line, the opponent will be unable to move away when hit, but the player alone also cannot move while firing; starting with ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'', though, the player can walk and jump while firing the item.

The [[Devolution Gun]] used to cause [[de-evolution]] from the [[Super Mario Bros. (film)|''Super Mario Bros.'' movie]] is a modified Super Scope.
