Control-wise, this move is like [[Kirby]]'s "Tornado" ability that appears in many of the [[Kirby (universe)|''Kirby'' games]]. Holding B will make him gain height.

In ''Kirby Super Star Ultra'', Meta Knight stars in his own mode, ''Meta Knightmare Ultra'', which involve him replaying various levels from other sub-games. In said gamemode, defeating enemies would allow him to gain points to perform various special techniques. The strongest technique is also named Mach Tornado, but is instead a screen-clearing attack similar to a Final Smash, instead of a small tornado. As ''Kirby Super Star Ultra'' was released after ''Brawl'', it's likely that the move was named after Meta Knight's neutral special.
