'''False characters''', also referred to as "puppet fighters", are enemies featured in [[Adventure Mode: The Subspace Emissary]] in ''[[Super Smash Bros.

They are, for all intents and purposes, evil doppelgängers of [[character|fighters]] that serve the modes' respective main antagonists. In ''The Subspace Emissary'', a false character is created when [[Shadow Bug|Shadow Bugs]] gain physical forms after swarming over a fallen fighter's [[trophy|trophy form]]; in ''World of Light'', the fighters are captured and replicated by either [[Galeem]] or [[Dharkon]], to which the replicas are then possessed by spirits bound by the duo's influences. | ||
Most false characters in ''Super Smash Bros. Brawl'' retain the | Most false characters in ''Super Smash Bros. Brawl'' retain the appearance and abilities of the original with the addition of a smoky purple aura, solid and glowing yellow eyes and a matching darker tinge (outliers that do not entirely conform to these schematics include Samus and Mr. Game & Watch); in battle, they are simply rendered with a purple tint and constantly glowing eyes, but lacking their auras. Like their original counterparts, they are reduced to trophies upon defeat, but quickly disintegrate into Shadow Bugs afterward due to the entities having lost their physical form. Similar to [[Metal Box|metal]] fighters, they are voiceless. All false characters are slightly larger than their normal counterparts (or much larger in the case of the false {{SSBB|Diddy Kong}}) and deal slightly more damage while having slightly more [[knockback resistance]]. | ||
False characters in ''Super Smash Bros. Ultimate'' initially appear as inanimate and colorless replicas, but once spirits are forced to animate them, the puppets gain color; said color represents one of the original characters' many costumes (typically their alternate costumes outside of a handful of exceptions)—sometimes colored similarly to the spirit possessing them or something else related to said spirit (e.g. the Yoshi puppet fighters containing Eevee's spirit are blue, yellow and red in reference to Vaporeon, Jolteon and Flareon—Eevee's original evolutions), and their eyes gain a distinct red glowing color (the color is instead purple for when Dharkon is controlling the fighters), though the color's pattern varies — the Mario puppet fighter containing a Smoky Progg's spirit displayed lighter red for his irises and darker red for his pupils during the opening cutscene, while outside of this the puppet fighters inverted this while also having pink sclera (in the case of the puppet fighters cloned from Samus or Dark Samus, their entire visor becomes illuminated, rather than their eyes simply shining through it); the Marth controlled by Dharkon in the {{SSBU|Hero}}'s reveal trailer displayed a dark purple pupil, even darker purple sclera and almost white lavender irises while the other characters displayed darker irises and brighter pupils much like they do in gameplay. In gameplay itself, all fighters under Galeem's control (and later [[Dharkon]]'s) display glowing eyes while only the original fighters possess an aura during gameplay (they do display such a characteristic in the Hero's trailer). | False characters in ''Super Smash Bros.

The false Bowser makes its first appearance in [[The Lake]], attacking {{SSBB|Fox}} and Diddy Kong at the very end of the stage. Once being defeated by Fox and Diddy, its trophy form dissolves and then the real Bowser makes his entrance in an attempt to capture the duo. It is believed that Bowser ordered a swarm of Shadow Bugs to create his false counterpart, so he could use it as somewhat of a decoy. | The false Bowser makes its first appearance in [[The Lake]], attacking {{SSBB|Fox}} and Diddy Kong at the very end of the stage.

However, right before it is able to, the other duo arrives and Link/Pit destroys the Dark Cannon. The false princess glares at the arriving duo and they fight. The duo wins the battle, reducing the false princess to its trophy form as it disintegrates. At the same time, Mario/Link mistakes the other character as having defeated the real deal and attacks. The previous duo then defeats the arriving duo, reducing the latter to their trophy forms which are taken by King Dedede. Kirby saves the two and the princess's trophy is later taken away by Bowser when he and his Koopa Troop storm Dedede's castle. | ||
Later on in the story, both Peach and Zelda's trophies are taken aboard the [[Halberd]], locked up in spare cages that would have been used for [[Petey Piranha]]. When Snake, Meta Knight and Lucario enter the room where their trophies are, Shadow Bugs come in and form into new false versions of the princesses. The three newcomers battle the doppelgängers and defeat them before reviving the original princesses. | Later on in the story, both Peach and Zelda's trophies are taken aboard the [[Halberd]], locked up in spare cages that would have been used for [[Petey Piranha]].

During {{b|The Final Battle|World of Light}}, false characters appear as either light-blue silhouettes with red eyes or red silhouettes with purple eyes. The former are created by Galeem and based on fighters found in [[The Light Realm]] or surrounded by Galeem's spirits in the final world. The latter are created by Dharkon and based on fighters found in [[The Dark Realm]] or surrounded by Dharkon's spirits in the final world. A gallery for those false characters can be found [[False character/Character gallery#World of Light|here]]. | During {{b|The Final Battle|World of Light}}, false characters appear as either light-blue silhouettes with red eyes or red silhouettes with purple eyes.
