==Customization==
Special Move customization was added in ''[[Super Smash Bros. 4]]''. These are the variations:
{{CustomSet|Luigi|Side|name1=Green Missile|desc1=A sideways dive that can be charged. It's Luigi, so this move can backfire.|name2=Floating Missile|desc2=Float sideways in a straight line. Charges quickly, but doesn't do a lot of damage.|name3=Quick Missile|desc3=Fly faster and farther than normal, sliding across the ground if you miss.}}
# '''Green Missile''': Default.
# '''Floating Missile''': The move charges up much more quickly, and flies forward in a straight line, for a longer period of time (although it goes the same distance). However the move has noticeably lower damage (6-21 -> 4-18) (25 -> 23 misfired), subsequently killing much later despite the lower launch angle ([[Sakurai angle|361]] -> 30).
# '''Quick Missile''': Luigi flies faster and travels noticeably further than normal, significantly aiding his recovery. However the move has marginally longer charging time, somewhat increased landing lag and  reduced damage (6-21% -> 5-20%) especially when misfired (25% -> 20%) and as such it kills later. In addition, the variant has a 7% misfire rate (down from the default 10%) and a 75% rate of sticking in walls if moving fast enough (up from the default 50%).

The Green Missile (ルイージロケット, Luigi Rocket) is [[Luigi

Origin

A standard Green Missile.

The Green Missile is an original move, and nothing like it has appeared in any Mario game released before Super Smash Bros. Melee. Luigi has been known to have a comical style though, as mentioned on the official Smash Bros. website, which could explain the Green Missile's rather silly execution. It also could have come directly from Pikachu's Skull Bash.

Like the Egg Roll, the Green Missile has appeared in games released after the move's introduction in Melee. Luigi would later use this move as one of his attacks in Mario Sports Mix and as his Special Move in Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Winter Games. Unlike the Egg Roll, however, the resemblance may just be a coincidence, as it is not used as a named special move. Luigi did a similar move in The Super Mario Bros. Super Show! episode The Adventures of Sherlock Mario.

Trivia

  • As noted above, Green Missile's charging stage gains notable vertical distance when used immediately after a jump in Brawl onwards. Luigi Cyclone shares this property. When these two moves are combined with his usual recovery move (optimally in the order jumped Green Missile→jumped Cyclone→Green Missile at apex of height→Super Jump Punch), it becomes possible for Luigi to travel absurd distances aerially, being able to easily perform many stage jumps, including clearing the entire Online Practice Stage and traversing Temple aboveground.
