The '''up special move''', (commonly referred to as '''up B''') is a [[special attack]] performed by pressing the [[special move]] button while holding the control stick upwards. Up special moves are usually used as a [[third jump]] or, in ''Brawl'', [[tether recovery]] used to recover from off-stage; the up special will often put the [[character]] into [[helpless]] mode. The only exceptions are [[Yoshi]] (excluding ''Brawl'') and [[Jigglypuff]], neither of whose up special moves act as jumps. It should be noted that in ''Brawl'', when an Up Special is used on the ground, many up specials provide a greater vertical movement then when used in the air; an example is Samus's [[Screw Attack (move)|Screw Attack]]. Moreover, for tether recoveries used before the final jump is used, the character will also gain a greater vertical distance, to make up for the jump not used. Up special moves are also among the few type of moves (along with grabs and [[up smash]]es) that can be used while shielding, which allows certain up special moves, such as [[Whirling Fortress]] and [[Shuttle Loop]], to be very effective [[out of shield]] moves. | The '''up special move''', (commonly referred to as '''up B''') is a [[special attack]] performed by pressing the [[special move]] button while holding the control stick upwards.

| [[Yoshi]] || [[Egg | | [[Yoshi]] || [[Egg Throw]] || Yoshi launches an egg upwards in an arc, which can be angled along a variety of trajectories, hitting anywhere from far horizontally in front of Yoshi to slightly behind and above Yoshi. The egg explodes upon contact or after moving along for a set air-time. Yoshi's Up Special is fairly unique in that it is not a triple jump, does not noticeably aid in recovery, and does not put Yoshi into a state of helplessness. In ''Super Smash Bros. Brawl'', Yoshi can gain some vertical distance with this move and can ledge grab. Can be canceled on the ledge (called Egg Ledge canceling). High knockback in ''SSB''. | ||

Also, the recovery distance is slightly larger than Link's but is poor for his weight class. | | [[Young Link]] || [[Spin Attack]] || Identical to Toon Link's, except cannot be charged.
