In ''Melee'', it can be [[item throw|throw]]n at an enemy, which forces them to perform the attack. Unlike when using it normally, however, this leaves the victim [[helpless]] in the process. When thrown, Screw Attacks can steal [[KO]]s, since the distance the character rises after getting hit by it depends on how fast the character is getting launched. If characters are launched from a high percentage and get hit by a Screw Attack, they fly up very quickly while performing the Screw Attack and often cross the [[blast line]] for a [[Star KO]]. | In ''Melee'', it can be [[item throw|throw]]n at an enemy, which forces them to perform the attack.

In ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'' and ''[[Super Smash Bros. | In ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'', ''[[Super Smash Bros. 4]]'', and ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]'', the Screw Attack is instead a badge item, similar to the [[Franklin Badge]]. As a result, it cannot be thrown as in ''Melee'', but allows the user to attack as normal while it is being held. It will eventually fall off, however. A very large portion of the attack from ''Brawl'' onwards is [[interruptibility|interruptible]], allowing it to be cancelled into any of the character's attacks. In ''Smash 4'', the Screw Attack has a quirk of removing the character's ability to [[short hop]] while it is equipped. | ||
