The move is essential to Luigi's recovery. Because of Luigi's atrocious air mobility (having the worst [[air speed]] in the first two games and the 2nd worst in the latter three, in addition to [[Super Jump Punch|an up special]] that provides no horizontal movement), he cannot return to the stage reliably if he is sent far offstage. Green Missile allows him to cover significant horizontal distance and does not render him [[helpless]], allowing him to use his double jump and up special to return to the stage. Additionally, the move has a small amount of [[intangibility]] upon release that can potentially protect Luigi from opponents' edgeguard attempts (a trait which only applies to regular Missiles in ''Melee'' and ''Brawl'' and misfires in ''SSB4'' onwards). However, the move has a noticeable amount of ending lag and leaves Luigi vulnerable when using it, making it very susceptible to edgeguarding, especially if the opponent is willing to endure the hit to reduce the distance Luigi travels. Thus, it is crucial to mix things up to avoid becoming predictable. | The move is essential to Luigi's recovery.

The move also has a small chance to "misfire", an effect officially known as '''Overzealous Green Missile'''. A misfire's distance and damage will not be affected by how much it is charged, with both being greater than even a fully charged regular Green Missile. The probability of misfiring is {{fractions|1|8}} for ''[[Melee]]'' and ''[[Brawl]]'' and {{fractions|1|10}} for ''[[SSB4]]'' and ''[[Ultimate]]''. When one occurs, the move's animation will have a noticeable fire/rocket effect. In ''Melee'', Luigi's eyes will close as if he was struck, as opposed to being halfway open during a normal Green Missile; ''SSB4'' introduced a unique sound effect, and Luigi spins as if [[reeling]] in ''Ultimate'' | The move also has a small chance to "misfire", an effect officially known as '''Overzealous Green Missile'''.

A misfire can allow Luigi to cover significantly greater horizontal distances than normal; however, as implied by the name, a misfire is not always beneficial. For example, if the move is aimed at an opponent who dodges and the move misfires, Luigi will likely travel horizontally a long distance off the stage regardless of the move's charge, making it very hard for him to get back on (as well as leaving him vulnerable to [[edgeguarding]]). In ''Melee'', the spontaneous misfire fires Luigi extremely far, nearly three times the distance of an uncharged Green Missile and farther than the length of {{SSBM|Final Destination}}, potentially causing an [[SD]]. This has been toned down from ''Brawl'' onwards to about twice the regular distance, meaning a SD will generally not occur while Luigi is onstage. | A misfire can allow Luigi to cover significantly greater horizontal distances than normal; however, as implied by the name, a misfire is not always beneficial.
