The '''Scuttle''' is a move mainly used by [[Luigi]] in several games in the ''[[Super Mario (series)|Super Mario]]'' series. It is similar to [[Yoshi]]'s [[Flutter Jump]], except it does not propel Luigi up. Instead, the Scuttle slows Luigi's descent after he [[jump]]s. This allows him 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 [[Mini Mario (form)|under the influence]] of a [[Mini Mushroom]].

In ''[[Super Mario Bros. 2]]'' and its subsequent [[reissue]]s, ''[[Super Mario All-Stars]]'' and ''[[Super Mario Advance]]'', Luigi jumps with a Scuttle, unlike Mario, [[Toad]], and [[Princess Peach|Peach]].

In ''[[Super Mario World: Super Mario Advance 2]]'', Luigi jumps as he did in ''Super Mario Bros. 2'', instead of sharing Mario's jump properties as in [[Super Mario World|the original version]].

In ''[[Super Mario 64 DS]]'', the Scuttle name is introduced, and the move is used with the same controls as Yoshi's Flutter Jump (done by holding {{button|ds|B}} in midair), and it can be used to reach the [[Peach's Castle|Mushroom Castle]]'s roof before all 150 [[Power Star]]s are collected.

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. In the ''[[New Super Mario Bros. U Deluxe]]'' version of the game, [[Toadette]] can also use this move.

In ''[[Super Mario Maker]]'', [[Weird Mario]] has a move similar to Luigi's Scuttle, extending his air time a little longer; however, it is used only briefly after he jumps and not while he falls.

Luigi retains his Scuttle to slow his descent in ''[[Super Mario Run]]''.

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