}}'''G-Mantle''' (ゲーマント, ''Ge-Manto'', with the Ge standing for "game") is a mysterious character appearing in many SNK games. He was used as a mascot for the [[Neo Geo]] before [[Terry Bogard]]. However, at Vigamus<ref>[http://www.vigamus.com/chi-siamo/partner-e-sponsor Vigamus] ''official website.''</ref>, a museum of videogames sponsored by the municipality of Rome, a [https://vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/snk/images/a/a5/SNK_giga_Power.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20181123115212 special illustration] lists G-Mantle as the mascot of the pre-fighting game era of Neo Geo.<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20131002161049/http://www.eirgames.com/5631/snk-legends-italian-museum-videogames-vigamus/ SNK Legends at Italian Museum of Videogames, Vigamus!] Archived from the [http://www.eirgames.com/5631/snk-legends-italian-museum-videogames-vigamus/ original]</ref> He bears a striking resemblance to the character V, from [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/V_for_Vendetta V for Vendetta].<br />

__TOC__<br />
==Story==<br />
G-Mantle is a strange being who first appeared in print ads for the Neo Geo. He is portrayed as a masked "man", wearing a cape and hat. He has no legs and walks by means of levitation. In some KOF manhua, he is shown to have legs.<br />
<br />
He has also made several appearances within SNK games. His first in-game appearance was in [[Blue's Journey]]. His most memorable appearances are as a taxi driver in [[Fatal Fury: King of Fighters]] intro, as [[King]]'s disguise in [[Art of Fighting 2]] and, most recently as a striker in [[The King of Fighters 2000]].<br />
<br />
In the [[SNK vs. Capcom: Card Fighters Clash]] series, his name changes with every game he's in. In the first one, there is a character named Mask who is based on G-Mantle and is as mysterious as G-Mantle himself. The second game featured three other characters: Neomantle, Robomantle and G-Lady, who all wear the same mask, dress and act similarly to G-Mantle.<br />
<br />
==Personality==<br />
G-Mantle's only in-game speech was his laugh, making him an even more mysterious character.<br />
<br />
==Powers==<br />
* '''Levitation''' - Having no legs, G-Mantle moves by floating around, pretty much like ghosts do.<br />
<br />
