If both Galeem and Dharkon are confronted, following Master Hand and Crazy Hand being freed from control and conquering the battlefield, the pair continue to battle each other along with their puppet fighters and bosses before turning their attention to the fighters in a three-way battle. Once both Dharkon and Galeem are finally defeated, they fall into the sea and explode, freeing all the spirits from their control.

During the final battle with [[Galeem]] and Dharkon, both bosses will deliberately target the player. However, owing to their status as mortal enemies, they can also damage each other; if one is stunned, the other will seize the opportunity to take a potshot. Regardless, only the player can deal the final blow.

|Torrent of Darkness ({{ja|闇の奔流|Yami no Honryū}})|| ||Dharkon covers two sides of the screen with wave-shaped lines of darkness that provide a small, ever-shifting gap of safety between them. The fighter will rapidly take damage upon touching the lines. This attack goes through shields. If Galeem is present, each will contribute one wave to the attack. If Galeem is stunned, only the bottom of the screen is covered.

|Pillar of Darkness ({{ja|闇の柱|Yami no Hashira}})|| ||Dharkon creates beams of darkness that erupt from the ground. The beams reach very far vertically, meaning the player could potentially be [[KO]]'d through the upper [[blast line]] by them if they aren't careful. This attack is never used during his first battle, however.

|Dark Fighter ({{ja|闇のファイター|Yami no Faitā}})|| ||Dharkon vanishes and his tentacles expand, producing two or three dark [[false character]]s to support him, which eventually self-destruct after a period of time and can inflict damage when they do so. If Galeem's false characters are present, they will fight each other.

*Dharkon's appearance of being an organic mass of tentacles resembles {{s|wikipedia|Azathoth}}, a being featured in the Cthulhu mythos. Along with his single slitted eye, the boss could also be compared to {{s|wikipedia|Marvel Comics}}' {{s|wikipedia|Shuma-Gorath}} and {{s|wikipedia|Yog-Sothoth}} from the Cthulhu mythos.

*Interestingly, Dharkon's eye always follows the fighter during his battle. This makes him the only boss in the ''Smash Bros.'' series with this distinction, as even his light-themed counterpart Galeem (apparently) does not track the player.
