'''False characters''', also referred to as "puppet fighters", are enemies featured in [[Adventure Mode: The Subspace Emissary]] in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'' and [[Adventure Mode: World of Light]] in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]''. They are, for all intents and purposes, evil doppelgängers of [[character|fighters]] that serve the modes' respective main antagonists.

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 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]]. | Most 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.

As Fox and Diddy are walking through [[The Swamp]], they become ambushed by Bowser, who uses his Dark Cannon against Diddy to reduce him to his trophy form. Bowser then orders some Shadow Bugs to swarm the trophified Diddy, creating the false Diddy. As it was starting to worsen, Falco then flies down in an Arwing and destroys the Dark Cannon, forcing Bowser to retreat by means of his [[Koopa Clown Car]]. Afterwards, the false Diddy then increases its size, effectively making it [[Boss|a minor boss]]. Fox revives Diddy, who freaks out at the sight of his clone and the trio defeat it. Once defeated, the clone's trophy form disintegrates into Shadow Bugs. | As Fox and Diddy are walking through [[The Swamp]], they become ambushed by Bowser, who uses his Dark Cannon against Diddy to reduce him to his trophy form.

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.
