Other mistake: The Cloaking Device item helps nobody but CPU players. It renders a player almost totally invisible, and negates damage taken when activated. But players themselves can't see their own character when cloaked while CPU players have no trouble seeing them at all. Other than negating damage, the Cloaking Device is a poorly done item that only helps CPU players.

Question: Why don't most items, such as the Metal Box, function in this game like they did originally? In Mario Bros. Freezie was deadly to the touch, but not in Melee.
