Elytra (エリトラ, Elytra) is Steve's up special move in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate.
Overview
When used, Steve hops upward, unfurls his Elytra, and attaches a Firework Rocket on it, propelling him upward. The move functions somewhat like Brawl's glide mechanic and resembles Pit's Wings of Icarus: aiming the move upward grants the highest vertical recovery, but causes Steve to stall when at the move's apex and enter freefall, in addition to minimal horizontal distance; the move itself is more suited to horizontal recovery. A damaging hitbox is created on startup (as Steve lights the rocket). After the rocket is used up, hitting a wall or ceiling will cause Steve to crash and enter free fall. Dodging or attacking during the glide will cancel Elytra, causing Steve to fall but letting him retain the ability to move side to side.
Triple jump glitch
Prior to version 12.0.0 of Ultimate, a glitch existed which allowed Steve to gain a second midair jump (i.e. triple jump) if the move was interrupted by a hitbox at the right time. Specifically, if Steve was hit out of the move on frames 1-7 for the aerial version, or frames 6-12 for the grounded version, he would gain the ability to jump twice in the air. This glitch could be activated deliberately by Steve himself using TNT, and would even work if Steve had used up his midair jump, giving him a further two jumps in the air. Likewise, using spirits with the Additional Midair Jump skill would increase Steve's number of jumps and therefore the number of jumps usable by this glitch, allowing up to four in normal gameplay (five if using the skill from the Skill Tree in World of Light).
While the cause of this glitch is largely unknown, it has been proposed that the glitch functions by causing the game to reset Steve's maximum jump counter, including his grounded jump, which he is allowed to use as a midair jump.

Origin
The elytra is an item in Minecraft introduced in the Combat Update which can be found in treasure rooms on End Ships. It is the only source of flight in Survival game mode. When falling, the elytra can be used by pressing jump and the player will immediately start gliding. Firework rockets can be used to increase the elytra's propulsion, allowing the player to fly for a longer period of time. An unenchanted elytra can be used for 7 minutes and 11 seconds before it stops working, at which point it needs to be repaired with either another elytra or phantom membranes.
The elytra was inspired by the Wing Cap from Super Mario 64 and both have similar gliding mechanics.[1]
