Editing Scuttle

{{quote|You'll also be able to scuttle in Standard Mode by holding B.|[[Toad (species)|Toad]]|[[Super Mario 64 DS]]}}

'''Scuttling''' is a move mainly used by [[Luigi]] in several games of the [[Super Mario (series)|''Super Mario'' series]]. It is similar to [[Yoshi]]'s [[Flutter Jump]], except it does not propel Luigi up. Instead, scuttling slows Luigi's descent after he [[jump]]s. This allows him to reach greater horizontal distances and allows the player to easily control the landing. The animation for the technique is Luigi kicking his feet in the air, which is also similar to [[Mario]] or Luigi's fall [[Mini Mario (form)|under the influence]] of a [[Mini Mushroom]].

Scuttling is a move used only by Luigi in ''[[Super Mario Bros. 2]]'' and its subsequent [[reissue]]s, ''[[Super Mario All-Stars]]'' and ''[[Super Mario Advance]]''. This was a holdover from the original mechanics of ''[[Yume Kōjō: Doki Doki Panic]]'', from which ''Super Mario Bros. 2'' was adapted.

====''Super Mario Advance'' series====

Aside from returning in ''Super Mario Advance'', scuttling appears also in ''[[Super Mario World: Super Mario Advance 2]]'' and ''[[Super Mario Advance 4: Super Mario Bros. 3]]'', though not both games' original versions respectively. In ''Super Mario Advance 4: Super Mario Bros. 3'', Luigi does not scuttle if he is holding an item, and the gameplay effects of this move are available only when the [[Luigi Power Up!!|yellow switch card]] is active; it is permanently on in [[World-e]].

Scuttling is a move in ''[[Super Mario 64 DS]]''. The game introduces the "scuttle" name, and the move has the same controls as Yoshi's Flutter Jump (done by holding {{button|ds|B}} in midair). Scuttling can be used to reach the [[Peach's Castle|Mushroom Castle]]'s roof before all 150 [[Power Star]]s are collected.

Scuttling is a move in ''[[New Super Luigi U]]'', letting Luigi move horizontally at a higher altitude. In this game, [[Yellow Toad and Blue Toad|Yellow Toad]], [[Yellow Toad and Blue Toad|Blue Toad]], [[Nabbit]], and [[Mii]]s can also use this move. In the ''[[New Super Mario Bros. U Deluxe]]'' version of the game, [[Toadette]] can also use this move.

In ''[[Super Mario 3D World]]'' and ''[[Super Mario 3D World + Bowser's Fury]]'', Luigi kicks his legs during the entire jump (reminiscent of the move's appearance in ''Super Mario Bros. 2''), as opposed to doing so only as he descends; this reduces his speed both upwards and downwards, making both halves of his jump easier to control. When {{a|PP|Peach}} is in her [[Cat Mario|Cat form]], she uses a similar animation to the scuttle when performing her [[Floating Jump]].

In ''[[Super Mario Maker]]'', [[Weird Mario]] has a move similar to Luigi's scuttle, extending his airtime a little longer; however, it is used only briefly after he jumps and not while he falls.

Scuttling is performed by Luigi while jumping in later entries of the [[Super Smash Bros. (series)|''Super Smash Bros.'' series]], including ''[[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS]]'' / ''[[Super Smash Bros. for Wii U|Wii U]]'' and ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]''.

*The third frame of Luigi's [[Triple Jump]] animation in ''[[Super Mario Galaxy]]'' and ''[[Super Mario Galaxy 2]]'' is a reference to his scuttle technique.
