It should also be noted that the end of the shuttle loop attack automatically initiates a [[glide]], which can be used in addition to the vertical recovery to add good horizontal recovery. In addition, because Meta Knight can do a quick attack to conclude a glide, the shuttle loop can be timed to do two consecutive attacks—the initial upswing, and the quick swing from the glide. The glide from this attack is slower than his regular glide, and allows better control.

One should be careful when using Shuttle Loop while facing off of the edge, for unless they quickly cancel the [[glide]], the player could easily glide right off the stage with no chance of recovery. Also, landing while in the glide puts Meta Knight on the floor, and the opponent can easily punish him. Using the Glide Attack or just pressing the special move button right before hitting the floor completely cancels the attack and landing lag, leaving him completely ready to use any move or evade an incoming attack that would have otherwise hit him.

The move returns in ''[[Smash 4]]''; however, the glide has been removed.
