The Kamikaze Glitch is (seemingly) a glitch that can be performed by using Mr. Game & Watch and Ness. Use Mr. Game & Watch to absorb (using Oil Panic) three of Ness's fully charged PK Flash attacks. Then, have Ness (or any other character) put up their shield. Once you unload G&W's bucket onto this player's shield, G&W will become an unstoppable projectile, and will fly across the screen with blinding speed, instantly KOing any opponent in his path. This can also be done with Samus (Charge Shot), Mewtwo (Shadow Ball), or with a fully charged Super Scope, but with less effectiveness.

If this is done near a wall, G&W will stop at the wall and ride out the rest of the momentum of his attack. If you jump over the wall before the momentum disappears, G&W will continue over the wall, despite the fact that he came to a complete stop.

In Brawl, this will not work because G&W only gets pushed a short distance. However, there is a hack with the USB gecko known as the "Superman hack" that increases character's knockback and damage given per move by a very large amount. When nearly any attack hits a shielded character, the opponent's shield will break, and the user will be sent flying back, similar to the Kamikaze glitch, showing that the Kamikaze glitch may not be a glitch, but rather an extreme exploitation of the game's physics.
