The '''shadow glitch''' is a glitch exclusive to [[Wikipedia:maintenance release|version]] 1.0 of ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]''. It was discovered by {{sm|INF8}}, {{sm|Veg}}, and {{sm|Simna ibn Sind}}; it allows the [[Shadow Ball]]s in {{SSBM|Mewtwo}}'s forward throw to be caught as items. This requires three characters: one Mewtwo, one character to catch the shadow ball, and one other character to be thrown.
 
==Execution==
*The player must have Mewtwo grab and forward throw another player (this works well with [[Bowser]]).
*Then, he/she needs to make the third character jump and [[air dodge]] into the resulting stream of Shadow Balls and press the Z button to catch one. This will not make the normal item-catching sound effect, so the player must look at the character's hands afterward to determine if the attempt was successful.
 
==Effects==
*If the Shadow Ball is thrown, it will freeze the game unless it is quickly recaught.
