[[File:SM64DS Scuttle.gif|thumb|Luigi's '''Scuttle''' in ''[[Super Mario 64 DS]]''.]]

The '''Scuttle''' is a move mainly used by [[Luigi]] in several games in the ''Super Mario'' series. It is similar to [[Yoshi]]'s [[Flutter Jump]], except that it does not propel Luigi up. Instead, Scuttle will slow Luigi's descent after [[jump]]ing. This will allow Luigi to reach greater horizontal distances and allows the player to easily control the landing. The animation for the technique is Luigi kicking his feet in the air, which is also similar to Mario or Luigi's fall under the influence of a [[Mini Mushroom]].

In ''[[Super Mario Bros. 2]]'' and [[Super Mario All-Stars|its]] [[Super Mario Advance|remakes]], [[Luigi]] jumps this way, unlike [[Mario]], [[Toad]], and [[Peach]].

In ''[[Super Mario World: Super Mario Advance 2]]'', Luigi jumps like he did in ''Super Mario Bros. 2'', instead of retaining his jump properties from [[Super Mario World|the original version]].

Luigi can use this move in ''[[Super Mario Advance 4: Super Mario Bros. 3]]'', but only when the [[Yellow Switch]] is active; it is always on in [[World-e]].

====''Super Mario 64''====

In ''Super Mario 64 DS'', this move is used with the same controls as Yoshi's Flutter Jump, and can be used to reach the castle roof before all 150 [[Power Star]]s are collected.

====''New Super Luigi U''====

In ''New Super Luigi U'', the Scuttle technique reappears, letting Luigi move horizontally at a higher altitude. In this game, [[Yellow Toad (character)|Yellow Toad]], [[Blue Toad (character)|Blue Toad]], [[Nabbit]], and [[Mii]]s can also use this move

====''Super Mario 3D World''====

In ''Super Mario 3D World'', Luigi kicks his legs during the entire jump, as opposed to kicking them as he descends (reminiscent of its appearance in ''Super Mario Bros. 2''); this reduces his speed both upwards and downwards, making both halves of his jump easier to control.

===''Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS / Wii U''===

[[File:SSB4 3DS - Mario Luigi Scuttle Screenshot.png|thumb|left|Luigi and Mario jumping in ''Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS''.]]

In ''[[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS / Wii U]]'', Luigi's jumps use a Scuttling animation, as opposed to his jumps in previous games in the ''Super Smash Bros.'' series, where they were similar to [[Mario]]'s.

*Luigi's [[Triple Jump]] in ''[[Super Mario Galaxy]]'' and ''[[Super Mario Galaxy 2]]'' is a reference to his Scuttle technique.
