The '''kamikaze glitch''' is an exploit in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]'' that can be performed with {{SSBM|Mr. Game & Watch}} and {{SSBM|Ness}}. To perform it, Mr. Game & Watch absorbs three of Ness's fully charged [[PK Flash]] attacks with [[Oil Panic]]. Then, Ness (or any other character) puts up his [[shield]]. Once Mr. Game & Watch unloads his bucket onto the shielding opponent, Mr. Game & Watch will fly across the screen with blinding speed (due to the very high amount of momentum or knockback units generated by the attack making contact with Ness's shield), instantly [[KO]]ing any opponent in his path as the residual hitbox from the oil strikes opponents he passes by. This can also be done with {{SSBM|Samus}}'s [[Charge Shot]], {{SSBM|Mewtwo}}'s [[Shadow Ball]], or with a fully charged [[Super Scope]], but with decreased efficiency.

If this is done near a wall, Mr. Game & Watch will stop at the wall and ride out the rest of the momentum of his attack. If the player jumps over the wall before the momentum disappears, Mr. Game & Watch will continue over the wall, despite the fact that he came to a complete stop.

In ''[[Brawl]]'' and onwards, this will not work because the damage output of Oil Panic is capped at 60% respectively. As a result, Mr. Game & Watch will only get pushed a moderate distance. However, when an attack is hacked to deal ridiculously high knockback (such as {{SSBB|Ganondorf}}'s [[Warlock Punch]] in [[Brawl Minus]]), and connects with an opposing shield, the user will be sent flying back at incredible speeds, similar to the kamikaze glitch. This shows that the kamikaze glitch is not actually a glitch, but rather an extreme exploitation of the game's physics (specifically the power of a shielded attack determining how far the character is pushed back). It can therefore be expected that hacking to increase the max damage would return the effect with a proportionate value of knockback units.

*The kamikaze glitch shares a bit in common with the [[zero gravity glitch]], as in if the character affected by the glitch moves away from the wall/ceiling that they're stuck on, they'll instantly fly off at the incredible speed they were moving at.
