In this instance, when Luigi puts on the power flower, he turns into a dark Luigi who has distinct powers compared to his normal self. There is also a feature that lets dark Luigi become invisible. This helps with overcoming some barriers and passing through enemy units unnoticed. It gives a strategic aspect to playing games, forcing one to adopt different strategies to overcome challenges.
Psychological Aspects

Dark Luigi also contributes to delving into the psychological issues surrounding characters in video games. This is typical in a character narrative that involves facing inner demons, and it explains the creation of Luigi’s dark alter ego. The game makes the player question whether there is any real inner conflict in Luigi’s happy face. The story becomes deeper psychologically, and this lends more meaning to the interaction between a gamer and a “person.” Players probe into Luigi’s inner world by facing the character’s shadow. This approach makes the game more engaging.
