He appears to be the field leader of the [[Subspace Army]] and controls the [[R.O.B. Squad]] and their deployments of [[Subspace Bomb]]s. Initially appearing to be the titular central antagonist of the story, it later transpires that the Ancient Minister is actually a tragic character, due to him being forced to bring areas of the [[World of Trophies]] into [[Subspace]] under the orders of [[Tabuu]]. | ||

(SSBB)|Master Robot]]" who ruled over the floating [[Isle of the Ancients]] with the rest of his fellow [[R.O.B.]]s. Although the Island was originally peaceful, Tabuu took over and threatened the R.O.B.s with violence, forcing the Master Robot to follow his orders. The Master Robot, in his own shame, concealed his identity. | ||
Tabuu used technology from the [[Isle of the Ancients]] to build [[Subspace Bombs]] and the [[Subspace Gunship]] and began production of the Subspace Bombs on the Isle of the Ancients and the Subspace Gunship. Each Subspace Bomb required two R.O.B. units to be sacrificed for unknown reasons. These units and a number of military specialized units became the R.O.B. Squad. A number of Subspace Bombs and sacrificial R.O.B units were deployed into the world, while the [[Subspace Bomb Factory]] was formed on the Isle of the Ancients and protected by most of the R.O.B Squad. | Tabuu used technology from the [[Isle of the Ancients]] to build [[Subspace Bombs]] and the [[Subspace Gunship]] and began production of the Subspace Bombs on the Isle of the Ancients and the Subspace Gunship.

Mario, Kirby and (depending on who the player saved) {{SSBB|Princess Peach}}/{{SSBB|Zelda}} escape. He then attacks a number of different locations with Subspace Bombs. As the story progresses, the Ancient Minister is shown to be saddened by the loss of R.O.B. units, having a number of flashbacks about them detonating Subspace Bombs. | ||
Every location absorbed into Subspace causes a number of new [[character]]s to join a party that fights against the Subspace Army. Eventually, the party enters a large room in the {{B|Subspace Bomb Factory|Part II}} with a number of R.O.B. units and Subspace Bombs inside, as well as the Ancient Minister. {{SSBB|Ganondorf}} appears via hologram and orders the R.O.B. units to detonate all of the Subspace Bombs at once. The Ancient Minister physically moves his minions away from the Bombs and orders them not to detonate them. Ganondorf then reaches for a remote and hits a button on it, causing all of the R.O.B units' eyes to glow red and their motion to become more mechanical. The R.O.B. units, now unresponsive to the Ancient Minister's commands, continue to follow Ganondorf's orders for detonation. The Ancient Minister continues to physically remove the units from the bombs, which leads Ganondorf to order them to attack. The R.O.B. units light the Ancient Minister on fire using lasers and the Ancient Minister destroys the robes that he was wearing, putting out the flames and revealing himself as {{SSBB|R.O.B.}} to the party of heroes. He joins the party, who all collectively attempt to remove the R.O.B. units from the Subspace Bombs to no success. Ganondorf orders the Subspace Army to attack the party, which evacuates. The party escapes using [[Captain Falcon]]'s [[Falcon Flyer]], fighting [[Meta Ridley]] in the process. | Every location absorbed into Subspace causes a number of new [[character]]s to join a party that fights against the Subspace Army.

Due to so many bombs being detonated on it at once, the Isle of the Ancients could not escape Subspace and is thus gone for good. | ||
