The moonwalk is a backwards sliding motion that can occur in the initial dash animation. It was discovered by the user Mr.C, and named after Michael Jackson's signature dance move.

To moonwalk, start dashing and immediately do a half-circle starting from down towards the opposite direction as the one you are facing. If you are facing the left, do a quarter-circle starting from down and moving towards the right. This should result in the user doing a sort of backwards slide, but in a state more similar to dashing than to wavedashing.

The moonwalk is most noticeable when used by Captain Falcon. The characters that can moonwalk, listed in order from longest to shortest, are:

  1. Captain Falcon
  2. Link
  3. Young Link
  4. Mewtwo
  5. Yoshi
  6. Ganondorf
  7. Peach
  8. Zelda
  9. Samus
  10. Bowser
  11. Kirby


An interesting property of the moonwalk is that its length and speed are considerably increased when the user is holding a Bunny Hood. For example, when Captain Falcon uses the moonwalk with a Bunny Hood, he will zoom in the opposite direction a length equivalent to over half of Final Destination. In fact, every character can moonwalk at least a bit with the Bunny Hood. In order from longest to shortest:

  1. Falcon
  2. Mewtwo
  3. Young Link
  4. Link
  5. Yoshi
  6. Ganondorf
  7. Bowser
  8. Peach
  9. Sheik
  10. Kirby
  11. Samus
  12. Luigi
  13. Donkey Kong
  14. Zelda
  15. Falco
  16. Fox
  17. Pichu
  18. Pikachu
  19. Roy
  20. Doctor Mario
  21. Mario
  22. Jigglypuff
  23. Ness
  24. Marth
  25. Ice Climbers
  26. Mr. Game and Watch
