Mach Tornado returns as {{SSBU|Meta Knight}}'s neutral special move in ''Super Smash Bros. Ultimate''. Unlike in the previous games, Mach Tornado hits only once, instead of being a multi-hit attack. It also travels at a faster pace, giving it much better horizontal movement compared to previous games. It has considerably more knockback than before, being a potent kill combo finisher.

With [[Giant Punch]], [[PK Flash]] and [[PK Freeze]] no longer invoking [[helpless]]ness, Mach Tornado is now the only neutral special that still renders its user helpless, and consequently the only move that can render {{SSBU|Kirby}} helpless (aside from sliding off an edge during [[Final Cutter]] or touching the red trampoline from [[Pac-Jump]]).

Mach Tornado is one of [[Meta Knight]]'s attacks that first appeared in ''[[Kirby Super Star]]''. It is also similar to [[Kirby]]’s Tornado ability from the [[Kirby (universe)|''Kirby'' series]].
Mach Tornado is one of [[Meta Knight]]'s attacks that first appeared in ''[[Kirby Super Star]]''. It is also similar to [[Kirby]]’s Tornado ability from the [[Kirby (universe)|''Kirby'' series]]. In the actual ''Kirby'' games, Mach Tornado refers to an attack that he (and Dark Meta Knight) uses where he flies to the side of the screen and launches a gigantic tornado towards the other side of the screen by charging and then stabbing his sword to the ground.  


In ''Kirby Super Star Ultra'', Meta Knight stars in his own mode, ''Meta Knightmare Ultra'', which involves him replaying various levels from other sub-games. In said game mode, defeating enemies would allow him to gain points to perform various special techniques. The strongest technique is also named Mach Tornado, but is instead a screen-clearing attack similar to a [[Final Smash]], instead of a small tornado. As ''Kirby Super Star Ultra'' was released after ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'', it's likely that the move was named after Meta Knight's neutral special move.
