The Skip Rope is the tool of the Mouse Miraculous.[1]
The current owner of the skip rope is Mylène Haprèle, who uses it as the superhero Polymouse.
It was once used by Marinette when she used the Mouse Miraculous to become Multimouse in "Kwamibuster". It was also used by Multifox, Multinoir, and Multibug when Marinette unified the Fox, Cat, and Ladybug Miraculous with the Mouse Miraculous.
Previously, it was used by Gabriel Agreste when he used the Mouse Miraculous with the other Miraculouses in his possession to become Monarch.
Appearance[]
The Skip Rope changes appearances depending on whose possession it is in:
- Multimouse's skip rope was colored light pink, with each end of the rope having a black handle attached with large, pink spheres, reminiscent of microphones.
- When used by Multifox, Multibug and Multinoir respectively, the skip rope's color changed from light pink to reddish brown, red and black respectively.
- When used by Polymouse, the skip rope retains its pink color, but the handles look different. They're gray ovals, narrowed in the middle, decorated with a thin pink spiral and topped with a pink hemisphere at both ends.
- When it was used by Monarch, the skip rope kept the same appearance, but instead was purple.
When the skip rope isn't in use, it's wrapped around the waist or hips of the holder to make it look like a mouse's tail.
Abilities[]
Although it's unknown what the full abilities of the skip rope are, as shown in "Mega Leech", it can be spun around and used to strike and tie up enemies. Additionally, objects can be attached to it to increase its offensive power. It's likely that it can work as a shield when spun very rapidly, similarly to the yo-yo and spinning top. Multimouse's Multitude activation sequence shows her throw the skip rope into the air and then wrap herself with it to create clones, though uses of the superpower throughout seasons 4 and 5 show that the weapon isn't required to activate it. As seen in "Kuro Neko", the skip rope can also be used for communication and has a detachable earpiece communicator.

Trivia[]

- The skip rope is one of the many Miraculous tools not used as a form of transportation, along with the cane, flute, shield, hand fan, lyre, horseshoe, sword, umbrella, ball, mallet, paint brush, fountain pen and tambourine.
- The skip rope is the ninth Miraculous tool to have a communication feature following the yo-yo, staff, spinning top, cane, hand fan, flute, lyre and sword.
- This, along with the yo-yo, spinning top, and ball are based on real toys.
