Amaranthine gas is a dangerous substance found in The Cave in Adventure Mode: The Subspace Emissary. When characters enter the purple mist, they quickly start taking 2% damage every 20 frames (1/3rd of a second). However, characters do not flinch while in the gas. Whenever amaranthine gas is present, there is always a switch nearby that, when hit, will temporarily clear the gas; the length of time the gas is deactivated depends on the difficulty and location.
The character gets set on fire as it passes through the Amaranthine gas without pressing the switch.
Trivia[edit]
- In some instances, if Sonic dashes through the gas wearing a Bunny Hood, he may not take damage.
- The Poison Cloud in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate's spirit battles have a similar concept to amaranthine gas as they are both purple gaseous substances that deals damage to the player.
- In addition, Piranha Plant's Poison Breath could be considered a miniature version of this, as they have the same effects with the Poison Breath being much smaller.
- The gas is similar in appearance to the purple gas in Poisonous Pipeline from Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!.
- The gas is coded to be able to toggle between damaging or healing, though it is always set to deal damage.
