Luigi's Scuttle ability.
Luigi's Scuttle in Super Mario 64 DS.

The Scuttle is a move mainly used by Luigi in several games in the Super Mario series. It is similar to Yoshi's Flutter Jump, except that it does not propel Luigi up. Instead, Scuttle will slow Luigi's descent after jumping. This will allow Luigi 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 under the influence of a Mini Mushroom.
