'''Shuttle Loop''' ({{ja|シャトルループ}} ''Shattoru Rūpu'') is [[Meta Knight]]'s [[up special move]]. Meta Knight jumps into the air with his sword pointed upwards, goes into a loop, and in ''[[Brawl]]'', glides forward with his blade extended.

In ''Super Smash Bros. 4'', the attack no longer cancels into a glide; however, it gains significantly more distance and hits twice. This version is similar to the original Shuttle Loop that [[wikirby:Wing|Wing Kirby]] performs, in that it hits twice and only sends Kirby a short distance forward rather than a glide.

====Customization====
Shuttle Loop has two custom variants - Shuttle Flight and Shuttle Dive. Shuttle Flight increases the [[startup]] of the move, but makes the angle Meta Knight travels at much more horizontal, allowing him to cover more distance. Shuttle Dive replaces the guaranteed second hit with a second hit that is more powerful, as well as increased vertical height, though it has a different startup animation that lasts longer and removes the initial hit, making the move harder to KO with.

Shuttle Loop was used by Kirby in the SNES game ''[[Kirby Super Star]]'' when he received the Wing ability. The only differences are that it didn't make Kirby glide and it lacked the sword. In addition, the Wing ability's attack required the player to toss an enemy first.
