Darkness

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; this does not make them flame attacks.

• Ganondorf - forward smash, Warlock Punch, Gerudo Dragon, Flame Choke, Dark Dive (ending uppercut in SSBB), Wizard's Foot, Beast Ganon (dash).
