Named by Kitt, the chain dance is a glitch in Super Smash Bros. Melee that comes from the boomerang superjump. It can be performed by either Link or Young Link. It is done by throwing the boomerang, and then wall-grappling on a wall or the side of a stage. As soon as the boomerang flies into Link/Young Link, press X and the player will see Link/Young Link jump while they are still hanging on the chain. At this time, the player can perform many different attacks, such as:
- pulling out a bomb while on the chain, then press the A button to rise in the air.
- throw the boomerang again, then press the A button to rise in the air.
- perform the Spin Attack while on the chain, then press the A button and Spin Attack again for a double up special move.
This glitch was removed from the PAL versions and version 1.2.
