There are a few [[attack]]s in the [[Super Smash Bros. (series)|Smash Bros. series]] that cause the '''darkness''' effect. Characters hit by darkness will burst into dark purple flames for a moment. Darkness attacks are similar to flame attacks, as they damage the opponent consistently for a few seconds. They differ from [[flame attack]]s in that they do not affect [[type effectiveness]] and do not gain power from flame enhancement [[sticker]]s.

'''Darkness''' (known internally as '''purple''') is an attack [[effect]] in the [[Super Smash Bros. (series)|''Super Smash Bros.'' series]] that debuted in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]''. Characters hit by a darkness attack temporarily flash purple and emit shadowy energy similar to that of fire.


==List of darkness attacks by characters==

==Trivia==
*Although [[Piranha Plant]] and [[Olimar]] have [[Poison Breath]] and [[White Pikmin]] respectively, both of which are said to utilize [[poison]], they actually use the darkness effect for gameplay purposes.
