About

Super Smash Bros. for Wii U Synchronized Dancing refers to a series of videos in which eight fighters of the same character on Super Smash Bros. for Wii U dance to the beat of a song that's being played on a stage with a glitch that allows one player to control all eight dancers.

Origin

On December 26th, 2015, YouTuber Kury4k uploaded an instructional video demonstrating how to perform a Super Smash Bros. for Wii U glitch allowing players to control eight selected characters at once (shown below).

In the description for the video, he wrote instructions:

You need at least 1 Amiibo to do this, the more you have the more slots you can control at once.
Step 1: Open 8-Player Smash and move your controller (Can't be GamePad, if you use Gamecube controller it will be more complicated, use Wii or Pro Controller preferably).
Step 2: Unsync your controller and tap an Amiibo to the GamePad.
Step 3: Sync the controller back and move again. You should be on the second slot.
Step 4: Repeat until 7 slots have an Amiibo (Do NOT tap an Amiibo to the eight slot or go out of the character select screen, otherwise glitch won't work).
Step 5: After being in control of slot 8, go to the options menu and return. After that, 8 hands controlled by your controller should appear. Remove the Amiibos and select your character(s).
Step 6: Select stage and start the battle. The exact thing that happened in the video should happen.
NOTE: When you go out of the character selection screen, the glitch will end.

The first video to utilize the glitch for a dancing video was uploaded by Vaan14Xxx on January 24th, 2016 onto YouTube. Titled "Smash 4 Kirby Dance", it has over 200,000 views as of June 15th, 2017.^[1]
