Darkness

Wolf suffers a darkness ailment when struck by the first hit of Crazy Hand's triple poke attack.

There are a few attacks in the Smash Bros. series that cause the darkness effect. Characters hit by darkness will burst into dark purple flames for a moment (though they have nothing to do with flame attacks).

List of darkness attacks by characters

• Ganondorf - forward smash, Warlock Punch, Gerudo Dragon, Flame Choke, Dark Dive (ending uppercut in SSBB), Wizard's Foot, Beast Ganon (dash)
• Giga Bowser - forward tilt, up tilt, down tilt, forward air
• Kirby - can copy Warlock Punch, Shadow Ball, or Pikmin Throw
• Mewtwo - neutral attack (infinite hit), dash attack, up smash, down smash, forward smash, forward air, forward throw, Shadow Ball
• Olimar - with White Pikmin: pummel, Pikmin Throw, Pikmin Chain (while it is considered that White Pikmin inflict poison, it uses the darkness effect)

List of darkness attacks by enemies and bosses

• Crazy Hand - spider crawl attack, flying punch catch (combo move with Master Hand), first hit of triple poke, bombs (only the explosion)(SSBM only)
