A '''ladder''' is a technique usable by a team of two players using the same character that allows them both to attain normally unreachable heights.

While carried over for ''Brawl'', the two Luigis now KO each other upon crossing the upper blast line; despite this, it can be used for stalling against a ceiling. This is retained in ''Smash 4''.

In ''Ultimate'', like ''Melee'', the Luigi ladder does not KO at the upper blast line, however, this property invokes a glitch. As the two Luigi's continually rise, the character markers on the edge of the screen start to leave the middle of the top of the screen and start going to the sides. Once they reaching the sides, they go to the bottom of the screen and begin to come to the middle as the Luigis rise. Adding to that, the character markers show the many sprites of the Luigis as they rise. In addition to this, if one or both Luigis are on their last stock, the [[Finish Zoom]] effect will constantly play after the Luigis reach the upper blast line, however neither of the Luigis will get KOed.

===Megaman Ladder===
===Mega Man Ladder===
This is similar to the Pac-Ladder. One [[Mega Man (SSB4)|Mega Man]] player uses [[Rush Coil]], launching them and an adjacent teammate into the air. The one who used the up special must jump up to the same height as the other player, who then uses their Coil, restoring the double jump and up special of the first player. Because Rush Coil has no hitboxes, this doesn't require Team Attack to be switched off or on, and never damages the players using the ladder. This, combined with its quick height gain compared to most other ladders, makes it arguably the most effective. An video demonstrating this ladder can be found [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0kxwAcgOVRM&t=8s here.]
