Luigi, approaching the harmful gas.
Amaranthine gas is a dangerous substance found in certain caves in The Subspace Emissary. When characters enter the purple mist, they quickly start taking damage at about 2% every half-second, depending on the difficulty. However, characters do not flinch while in the Amaranthine gas. Whenever Amaranthine gas is present, there is always a switch nearby that when hit, will temporarily clear the gas. On higher difficulties such as Very Hard or Intense, the switch only clears the gas for a small period of time compared to the easier difficulties, which clear the gas for several seconds.
Trivia
- Amaranthine gas is similar to the toxic gas from Super Mario 64 and its remake. Both damage characters that breathe it. However, in Super Mario 64, the gas does cause flinching.
