Ok, I don't know if this has been discovered yet by someone or if this is even a glitch at all. If this has been found before, my apologies. I tried searching around the forums and the closest thing I found was this:

If this is related to that, it could prove to be a useful technique for any Marth users; assuming that it's not too hard to pull off on other stages.
So basically what happened was I was messing around on a custom stage with Marth and was using Forward B on a conveyor belt when suddenly I was launched like a slingshot off the belt and SDed off the side. I tested this again and found the timing to achieve the "lunge" effect was rather easy.
Basically what you have to do is use a Forward B combo (the red one) on the conveyor belt so that when you land the 3rd (or maybe 4th too, I tested this and got mixed results) hit, you fall off the belt. If done correctly, Marth should shoot off in an Ike-esque lunge sort of motion (except there is also vertical movement downwards) and go a rather long distance (if you don't shoot off very far, you didn't time it right). This works for both ends of the conveyor belt; you just have to space yourself correctly. Doing this 'lunge' off the side the conveyor belt is pushing you seems to have no effect on how far you go.
I'm not 100% sure why this occurs but my theory on it is that it has something to do with the motion of Marth when he does his red Dancing Blade combo. On the 3rd (and 4th) hits, he moves forward a bit on the ground. Normally, if you did this near an edge, you encounter some invisible wall that prevents you from falling off the edge when using this combo. However, when this is done a conveyor belt, the invisible wall does not exist so when you fall off on the 3rd/4th hit, Marth's forward momentum from the move sends him flying off. I have no idea if this works on any other variations of his Dancing Blade combo (eg. the Blue path)
So yeah, sorry for the wall of text but I hope you understand what I said. If anyone can replicate this that'd be awesome
I also have a replay of this, but I don't have a video capturing device. I do however have an SD card so if anyone is willing to take my replay and record it, I can send it to them. Unfortunately, I won't be able to send it to them until tomorrow so I hope someone is willing to take the time to try and replicate this.
