[[File:WolfBurntSSBB.jpg|thumb|200px|{{SSBB|Wolf}} being hit by {{SSBB|Crazy Hand}}'s triple poke, a darkness attack]]
'''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.

Darkness attacks are boosted by Darkness Attack [[sticker]]s in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]''{{'}}s [[The Subspace Emissary]], but only {{SSBB|Ganondorf}} can use them.

==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.
