| | '''Shadow Bug'''s are the small, glowing violet spheres that the members of the [[Subspace Army]] are made of. They are apparently embodiments of a primordial substance. They are capable of copying a character's trophy and assuming his/her appearance, but are also capable of altering certain qualities such as size, as seen in the fight with the giant Diddy Kong. A copy of a character created by Shadow Bugs will have a purple tinge, be surrounded by a smoky shadow aura, and posess glowing yellow eyes. Shadow Bugs were created by extracting a mysterious substance from [[Mr. Game & Watch]], leading [[Tabuu]] to have him captured to become the source of the Subspace Army's soldiers. It's hypothesized that Shadow Bugs create the props that Mr. Game & Watch use in all his attacks, unlike other characters who seem to pull objects from [[Wikipedia:Hammerspace|Hammerspace]]. |

| '''Shadow Bugs''' are violet and snowflake-like particles of which the forces of the [[Subspace Army]] are made from in [[Adventure Mode: The Subspace Emissary]]. They are apparently embodiments of a primordial substance that can come into existence by extracting a mysterious substance that [[Mr. Game & Watch]] embodies, leading [[Tabuu]] to have him captured to become the source of the Subspace Army's forces. | |

| Additionally, Shadow Bugs are mentioned in {{h1|Palutena's Guidance|Mr. Game & Watch}} for {{SSB4|Mr. Game & Watch}}, in which Pit says, "Hey, it's a Shadow Bug!", referencing how they can be extracted from him.

| | ''Embodiments of a primordial substance that can take the form of any number of lesser Subspace foes. They can also copy the forms of trophies to create evil doppelganger versions of them. The mysterious substance inside Mr. Game & Watch can be extracted endlessly. Once Tabuu discovered this, he used Mr. Game & Watch to create the Subspace Army. '' |

| Shadow Bugs are capable of copying a fighter's trophy and assuming their appearance, but are also capable of altering certain qualities such as size, as seen with the false [[Diddy Kong]]. A clone of a fighter created by the Shadow Bugs will have a purple tinge, be surrounded by a matching smoky aura and possess solid and glowing yellow irises. [[Bowser]] himself has his own clone, which serves him as both a decoy and subordinate.
