'''Sleep''' is a status ailment in the ''[[Mario (franchise)|Mario]]'' [[Genre#Role Playing|role-playing games]] and in the ''Super Smash Bros.'' series.

 

In ''[[Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars]]'', Sleep is one of the more common status ailments that the player can have. A physical attack will wake a character from Sleep, but a magical attack will not. While sleeping, a character is completely immobile and helpless. Additionally, [[Princess Peach|Princess Toadstool]] is able to afflict this condition on enemies.

When a character is asleep, they cannot move for a few turns. Unlike in ''Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars'', the character cannot be woken up until the effect wears off. [[Mario]] can inflict Sleep on enemies by using the [[Sleepy Sheep]] item, [[Mamar]]'s [[Lullaby]], or equipping the [[Sleepy Stomp]] badge. Much like with [[Dizzy|dizziness]], certain enemies are affected greater than others. The [[Clubba]], often found sleeping, will be affected for four turns of the battle (alongside [[White Clubba]]s, all plant-type enemies and [[Kent C. Koopa]]), where most other enemies will be down for three. Only [[Crazee Dayzee]]s and [[Amazy Dayzee]]s can inflict sleep on Mario; their song attacks can put him to sleep for three turns, but have a low chance of doing so (20% for Crazee Dayzees, 15% for Amazy Dayzees). Enemies hit with a successful sleep attack have a blue "splash" effect accompanied by low-pitched lullaby tones.

In this game, when sleeping characters are attacked, there is a chance that they will wake. This is indicated by a small exclamation point over the character when they are attacked. The sleep icon is a [[Sleepy Sheep]], and a number by the Sleepy Sheep indicates how long the character is asleep.

In ''[[Super Paper Mario]]'', if the character is attacked by a [[Cherbil]], a [[Crazee Dayzee]], or an [[Amazy Dayzee]], they will fall asleep and must be awakened by shaking the [[Wii#Wii Remote|Wii Remote]] until the on-screen meter is filled up, unless the player gets attacked by an enemy. Also, the player can make enemies sleep by using a Sleepy Sheep. In the [[Underchomp]] battle, the player can use [[Piccolo]] to temporarily make the Underchomp fall asleep (this is based on [[wikipedia:Cerberus|Cerberus]]' weakness of falling asleep when music is played in Greek mythology). Mario and co. will also sleep after a prolonged period of inactivity - [[Tippi]] will perch herself atop the head of the character currently onscreen, and any character traveling with the heroes (such as [[Squirps]] or [[Luvbi]]) fall asleep as well.

Inflicted by a [[Sticker (Paper Mario: Sticker Star)#Baahammer|Baahammer]], the Sleep status ailment acts like the [[Mushroom (status effect)|Mushroom]] status ailment from ''Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars'': unable to attack, though slightly heals every turn. The sleep status also can be caused by using the Pillow, Bed, and Luxurious Bed [[Sticker (Paper Mario: Sticker Star)#Things|Things]].

Mario can also become asleep from the Things with sleep properties unless the player mashes {{button|3ds|A}} repeatedly. [[Kamek]]'s purple spell can also put Mario to sleep too.

{{main-external|SmashWiki|Asleep}}

 

Characters can go to sleep (the status effect here known as '''Asleep''') in the [[Super Smash Bros. (series)|''Super Smash Bros.'' games]] by [[Jigglypuff]]'s [[Jigglypuff#Sing|Sing]] attack, [[Luigi]] (in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'') and [[Princess Peach|Peach]]'s [[Final Smash]]es ([[Negative Zone]] and [[Peach Blossom]], respectively), [[Hero]]'s Snooze spell (used with Command Selection), [[Pokémon#Darkrai|Darkrai]]'s Dark Void, and [[Pokémon#Bellossom|Bellossom]]'s Sweet Scent. This leaves them vulnerable for opponents to attack them. Players that move the control stick and mash buttons will wake faster.
