Editing Negative Zone

During the Final Smash, Luigi performs a strange dance, and a large void, the Negative Zone, surrounds him. Inside the Negative Zone, all colours are inverted, and the view is distorted. Opponents caught in the Negative Zone will be randomly inflicted with several negative status effects. Luigi dances and chants for the first few seconds of the Final Smash, and then can move around freely while the Negative Zone lingers, and is unaffected by it. Once Luigi stops dancing, the Negative Zone becomes independent from him, and will not vanish if he is KOd. Using this move while over the edge may result in an SD, as Luigi slowly falls (and the zone sinks with him) during the dance, and no actions can be inputted in this time. [[Fire Jump Punch]] can be used to a great extent, and easily KOs characters in the Zone. Even after the Final Smash ends, some of the effects will still linger for a bit, such as opponents being put to sleep, flowered, or made dizzy. Unlike other Final Smashes, Luigi's Final Smash completely ignores [[invincibility]] and [[intangibility]]. If the player with Luigi was under [[Manaphy]]'s Heart Swap and switches back, the player with Luigi will be affected by Negative Zone and the other opponent won't be affected. One can escape the Negative Zone simply by rolling out, but this is difficult due to the slowdown, and fighters constantly being put to sleep or made dizzy.  

[[File:The effects of the negative zone.jpg|thumb|200px|Two of the many ways that the Negative Zone can affect a character.]]

*Attacks deal 0.2x damage.

*Affected fighters receive 1.36x knockback, making a lot of Luigi's moves (such as his Smash attacks and Fire Jump Punch) effective finishers even at very low percentages.

*Increased likelihood of [[tripping]], and random tripping even when standing or walking.

*[[Flower]] growth on head, which causes damage.

*Dizziness as if their [[shield]] broke (this can happen to aerial characters, which may KO them if they are not above a platform).

*Uncontrollable [[taunt]]ing.

*Sudden [[Asleep|sleepiness]], albeit not for long.

*[[slowdown|Timeslow effect]].

Random effects include getting launched, sleeping, moving in slow motion, tripping, fainting, and losing attack power. This technique is a reflection of the dark side he embraced in his brother's shadow.

==Glitch==

The move is unique to ''Super Smash Bros. Brawl''. However, the name may be a reference to Luigi always being in his brother's shadow (as mentioned in the move's trophy description), as Luigi was originally just a palette swap of [[Mario]] for player 2. The North American version of the game also implies that the Negative Zone is the representation of Luigi's negative feelings about being in Mario's shadow.

*The tumbling effect can be lethal on stages like Bridge of Eldin, where the [[revival platform]] may not appear over a platform a character can stand on. Characters affected will fall to their deaths.
