! Character !! Move !! Description

|-

|-

| [[Bowser]] || [[Whirling Fortress]] || Bowser retracts into his shell and quickly spins horizontally. The move has fairly high damage and [[knockback]], and quite a bit of horizontal distance, being a very useful [[out of shield]] move.

|-

|-

| [[Captain Falcon]] || [[Falcon Dive]] || Captain Falcon is given a quick boost upwards and forwards, and anything within his target area is pulled to him, given a blast of fiery energy, and launched away. If it connects, it sends Falcon backwards, but also removes the helplessness state, allowing him to perform the move again. This move acts as a [[grab]], so it can hit enemies that are shielding. The range at which the enemy is latched on to Captain Falcon is much greater in ''[[Smash 64]]'' than in ''[[Melee]]'' or ''[[Brawl]]''.

|-

| [[Cloud]] || [[Climhazzard]] || Cloud slashes his Buster Sword upwards while rising quickly. If the peak of Climhazzard's ascent isn't hit, Cloud can execute a follow-up attack which causes him to fall rapidly with his sword drawn in front of him. If [[Limit Break]] is active, the attack power on the ascending hit, the height, and the distance gained increase drastically upon using it (Limit Break does not affect the descending part of the move).

|-

|-

|-

| [[Diddy Kong]] || [[Rocketbarrel Boost]] || This move can be charged, but holding it too long will cause it to come off and land on the stage. If Diddy gets hit while using this move, the barrel can possibly fly off and hit any enemies in the way. He takes 5% damage when using this move under a floor. The move can also meteor smash opponents in Brawl. In ''Smash 4'', the move can be aimed more easily.  

| [[Donkey Kong]] || [[Spinning Kong]] || Donkey Kong extends both of his arms out, sometimes with his hands balled into fists, and spins quickly horizontally. Like Bowser's Whirling Fortress, this attack has very good horizontal recovery, decent damage and knockback, but poor vertical recovery distance. It is worth noting that the most damaging [[hitbox]]es are in Donkey Kong's fists, and his legs vulnerable to projectiles while he is recovering. Has [[invincibility frame]]s at the beginning in ''Smash 64''. Useful gimp move in ''Smash 64'', high power KO special in ''Melee'', approach option in ''Brawl'', and combo tool in ''Smash 4''.

|-

|-

| [[Duck Hunt]] || [[Duck Jump]] || The duck grabs the dog, and starts to fly upwards. Decent height, but rather poor horizontal movement.

| [[Falco]] || [[Fire Bird]] || Falco stops in midair with flames gathering around him, then erupts like a rocket, flying quickly in one direction. This direction is chosen by moving the control stick in any direction during the point where flames are gathering. While flying through the air, the Fire Bird deals decent damage and knockback to any who are caught in the trajectory. It is technically a finishing move in ''Melee'', as it can be used after hitting an opponent with Falco's [[Reflector|shine]].

|-

|-

| [[Ganondorf]] || [[Dark Dive]] || Behaves almost identically to the Falcon Dive, except in ''Melee'', it charges the enemy full of dark energy rather than fire, and deals much higher damage and knockback. It is also considerably slower. In ''Brawl'', it can grab edge-hoggers and has poorer damage and knockback than Falcon Dive, and an uppercut is performed if the enemy is slightly out of the grab's range.

|-

| [[Greninja]] || [[Hydro Pump]] || Greninja uses water from its hands to send it flying upward. Greninja can change the direction of where it is going while using this move. Functions similarly to Pikachu's Quick Attack.

|-

| [[Ice Climbers]] || [[Belay]] || Sends one of the Ice Climbers far into the air, with a cord attached to the other one, which pulls it up afterwards. This attack has the highest vertical recovery range of any up special move in ''Melee'', but it can only be performed if both Ice Climbers are together. If they are separated or one is defeated, this move will do nothing but enter the Ice Climber into helpless mode. However, in ''Brawl'', if used by a lone Ice Climber it will rise very slightly.

|-

| [[Ike]] || [[Aether]] || Ike throws Ragnell in the air, then jumps up, catches it, and falls back to earth. Ike has [[super armor]] in the frames after he throws Ragnell, but before he jumps up.

|-

| [[Jigglypuff]] || [[Sing]] || Pink waves and musical notes radiate out from Jigglypuff as it sings a short song. Any non-airborne enemy caught within these waves will be put to [[asleep|sleep]] for a short period of time. Like a grab, [[button mashing]] can cause the character to escape the sleep more quickly, but higher damage forces the opponent into sleep for longer. Attacking the sleeping character or nudging them off the edge will cause them to wake up. This is not a [[triple jump]], does not at all aid in recovery, and does not put Jigglypuff into a state of helplessness.

|-

| [[King Dedede]] || [[Super Dedede Jump]] || King Dedede takes a great leap into the air and lands with tremendous force. However, when he lands, he is left vulnerable to attack. In addition, one can cancel the jump by tapping the control stick downwards on the controller. However, if one does this right when he's about to land or hits a ceiling in the middle of the jump, it will leave King Dedede vulnerable for even longer. The direction can be changed by holding the control stick before King Dedede jumps.

|-

| [[Kirby]] || [[Final Cutter]] || Kirby extends a blade and launches straight up into the air, then proceeds to fall at a very fast speed. This attack does not normally cause helplessness. If Kirby uses it in midair and does not land on a platform or edge, he will unavoidably fall to his [[death]]. However, if the platform he lands on disappears, such as in [[Pictochat]], he will become helpless. While moving up and down, Kirby can catch enemies with the extended blade. When Kirby hits the ground, it shoots a wave forward along the ground, also dealing damage.

| [[Little Mac]] || [[Rising Uppercut]] || Little Mac jumps while rising and spinning with his fist upwards. Not very useful for recoveries, but is very strong.

|-

|-

| [[Lucas]] || {{h1|PK Thunder|Lucas}} || Shoots an [[electric]] bolt out of Lucas's head. While it is in the air, the bolt can be controlled by moving the control stick (Lucas will remain stationary, or fall if he is in midair). Hitting the bolt into an opponent will cause damage. The bolt will not disappear after hitting an opponent. If the PK Thunder is steered into Lucas himself, it launches him in the opposite direction from the one he was hit at. While being launched, Lucas is invulnerable for a large period of time and can cause significant damage and knockback to anyone hit by his body. Even if this attack is not used to launch Lucas, it will cause helplessness when used in midair.

|-

|-

| [[Luigi]] || {{h1|Super Jump Punch|Luigi}} || Luigi jumps straight up while punching, then falls down on his head. Differs from that of Mario and Dr. Mario in that it does not send Luigi forward at all except in ''Smash 64'' (making it much worse for horizontal recovery). The hit at the outside of the hitbox only deals 1% and makes one coin, and has no knockback at all. However, if the enemy is far inside the hitbox, rather than racking up multiple coins, it performs a "Fire Jump Punch", accompanied with a [[ping]] and dealing much higher damage and knockback.

| [[Mewtwo]] || [[Teleport]] || Mewtwo vanishes and appears a fair distance away in any direction. Does not cause any damage. Overall possibly the best recovery in ''Melee'' due to its low cooling time, speed, and distance.

|-

|-

|-

|-

|-

| [[Ness]] || {{h1|PK Thunder|Ness}} || Shoots an electric bolt out of Ness' head. While it is in the air, the bolt can be controlled by moving the control stick (Ness will remain stationary, or fall if he is in midair). Running the head into an opponent will cause damage, but it will cause the bolt to disappear. Slight damage can also be caused by hitting an opponent with the tail of the attack, and this will not cause the attack to disappear. If the PK Thunder is steered into Ness himself, it launches him in the opposite direction from the one he was hit at. While being launched, Ness is invulnerable for a large period of time and can cause significant damage and knockback to anyone hit by his body. Even if this attack is not used to launch Ness, it will cause helplessness when used in midair. PK Thunder can be used to edgeguard and reverse Ness ("PK Tailwhip").

|-

|-

|-

| [[Pac-Man]] || [[Pac-Jump]] || Pac-Man produces a trampoline from the Namco arcade game ''Mappy''. The trampoline can be bounced on by Pac-Man and other characters up to three times. After each bounce, it changes color from blue to yellow to red. If the trampoline is jumped on when it is red, it will break, and the character who jumped on it will enter a helpless state. The trampoline will remain stationary even in midair, and will vanish after a set amount of time or after it breaks.

|-

|-

|-

|-

|-

|rowspan="2"| [[Pit]] || [[Wings of Icarus]] {{GameIcon|SSBB|15px}} || Wings of Icarus allows Pit to fly freely for a while. Pit can attack out of this move. If Pit is hit while using the move, he is unable to use it again until he lands. Can be used in a ''Brawl'' technique known as Wing Dashing, which allows Pit to move around the screen quickly.

|-

|-

|-

| [[R.O.B.]] || [[Robo Burner]] || R.O.B. uses a rocket thruster to boost himself into the air. Offers both vertical and horizontal recovery. It is possible to stop the move, use an attack or other move, and then resume hovering. After landing, R.O.B. must remain on the ground for 1.5 seconds before the move will be fully recharged.

|-

|-

|-

|-

|-

| [[Samus]] || {{b|Screw Attack|move}} || Samus quickly rolls up into a ball and launches upwards, spinning. Any enemy caught at any point within the attack will be pulled up to the top and hit multiple times for some damage. In all games, it can be used as an out-of-shield move. It can be DI'd out of in ''Smash 64'' and ''Melee''.

|-

| [[Sheik]] || [[Vanish]] || Sheik stays in one place (or, if in the air, jumps upward slightly), then disappears with a puff of flame. Any enemy caught in that flame will be dealt damage and shot straight upwards. Sheik will then reappear a short distance in any direction from where she disappeared, but will have a much longer than usual lagtime upon hitting the ground.

|-

|-

| [[Snake]] || [[Cypher]] || Grabs his flying reconnaissance camera and uses it to fly upward. Can be re-used by hurting himself with his [[C4]]. Upon use in the air, Snake will fall for a short distance as he grabs the Cypher. Snake has a unique type of [[knockback resistance]] while hanging on to the Cypher, and will not flinch from an attack that deals exactly 7% or less.

|-

| [[Sonic]] || [[Spring Jump]] || A classic spring from the Sega Genesis-era ''Sonic the Hedgehog'' games appears below Sonic, propelling him upward with a powerful bounce. The spring can stay in the ground and, if the opponent moves quickly enough, they can also utilize this spring, bouncing equally as high. If used in the air, the spring will fall and damage opponents who touch it.

|-

| [[Toon Link]] || {{h1|Spin Attack|Toon Link}} || Identical to Link's variation, except it gives much longer recovery distance, is a bit shorter in range, and hits multiple times on the ground.

|-

|-

| [[Wario]] || [[Corkscrew]] || Wario spins and moves vertically slightly. He goes much higher when he is [[Wario-Man]].

|-

| [[Wolf]] || [[Fire Wolf]] || Somewhat similar to Fox's [[Fire Fox]] and [[Falco]]'s [[Fire Bird]]. It sends Wolf into the air horizontally almost immediately after it is used. The control stick can be used to determine the direction upon activation. Unlike Fire Fox, the attack deals multiple hits, carries the enemy it catches with it, has no fire effect, and ends with a knockback-dealing kick.

|-

| [[Yoshi]] || [[Egg Throw]] || Yoshi launches an egg upwards in an arc, which can be angled along a variety of trajectories, hitting anywhere from far horizontally in front of Yoshi to slightly behind and above Yoshi. The egg explodes upon contact or after moving along for a set air-time. It is fairly unique in that it is not a true triple jump, does not noticeably aid in recovery, and does not put Yoshi into a state of helplessness. In ''Brawl'', the move actually moves Yoshi upwards very slightly.

|-

|-

| [[Zelda]] || [[Farore's Wind]] || Zelda flashes for a second, then invisibly teleports a long distance in one of the 8 main directions. This move has a long recovery range, but is very limited in its options as to direction, making it possible to overshoot stages or platforms, or get caught under stage lips, like in Battlefield. In ''Brawl'' and ''SSB4'', opponents near where she reappears are damaged. Can be canceled on the edge in ''Brawl'' for a surprise KO such as combined with a down aerial or up aerial.
