In Melee, 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.

Moonwalking is achieved by tilting the Control Stick backwards while dashing, but without passing through the neutral position. The only way to do this is to rotate the Stick downwards instead (rotating upwards causes a jump), resulting in a half-circle motion. 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. Bowser
  10. Samus
  11. Kirby

An interesting property of the moonwalk is that its length and speed are considerably increased when the user is wearing 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. Captain 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. Dr. Mario
  21. Mario
  22. Jigglypuff
  23. Ness
  24. Marth
  25. Ice Climbers
  26. Mr. Game & Watch
