'''Shadow Bugs''' are violet 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 mysterious primordial substance that is part of [[Mr. Game & Watch]] which can come into existence by extracting said substance from his body, leading [[Tabuu]] to have him captured so the latter can create his army's forces.

They first appeared in a [[Smash Bros. DOJO!!]] update called "[[World of Trophies|This World]]", which introduced the mode's plot, shown being dropped down from the [[Halberd]], as well as surrounding a single [[Primid]].

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.

Shadow Bugs are capable of creating doppelgängers of fighters by swarming over their [[trophy]] forms. They can also alter certain qualities of them such as size, as seen with the false [[Diddy Kong]]. These things will have a purple tinge, be surrounded by a matching smoky aura and possess solid and glowing yellow eyes. [[Bowser]] himself has his own doppelgänger, which serves him as both a decoy and subordinate.

The Spirit Battle for Shadow Bug uses an army of {{SSBU|Mr. Game & Watch}} puppet fighters and is fought on the [[Pokémon Stadium]] stage. During the battle, the stage will be covered in a poisonous cloud, referencing both the Shadow Bugs' signature violet coloration and the conversion of false characters.
