Adventure Mode: The Subspace Emissary

File:Modea02 070803logo.jpg

As confirmed on Smash Bros. DOJO!!, Super Smash Bros. Brawl will feature a new single-player adventure mode called the 'Subspace Emissary. Sakurai stated that although the past games featured a large multi-player mode, they've never created an extensive single-player adventure. This time, the developers have included a plot-line that features the histories of the many fighters in Brawl. The Subspace Emissary will also include many new diverse characters, enemies, and levels that will each play a part in the adventure. The mode will also feature dozens of cut-scenes which are rare among Nintendo games

Structure

Stage selection is done via a map screen, which also allows players to select their difficulty (Easy, Normal, Hard, Very Hard, Intense) and determine if you want two-player co-op play. Before the beginning of each stage, the player picks a "Team" of allied characters that he or she would like to use to complete that particular level. Each level has a fixed amount of lives that one can lose before the game is lost. Characters must be picked at the levels beginning or right after cutscenes.

In-Game Structure

As you go through the game, your damage percentage will be displayed at the bottom of the screen for each player, just like in multiplayer battles. At the left side of the screen, a bar showing what seems to be your lives is displayed. A feature that was not present in Melee is that enemies have their own health bars that are displayed at the top of the screen. As you fight, one health bar may appear if you are fighting multiple enemies at once. If the player's currently selected character is defeated, the next character comes out. For example, early in the game Mario, Kirby, Peach and Zelda ally together. If the order is Kirby, Peach, Zelda, Mario, then if Kirby is defeated Peach becomes the player's character. If Peach is defeated Zelda becomes the player's character and so on. If the number of lives is more then the number of characters then the order repeats. A second player can join the game at any time and controls the next character in the order.

Co-op

The Subspace Emissary supports two-player co-op. When playing cooperatively, the two players share the same amount of lives. If player one is on his or her last life, and dies, but player two is still alive, the game is still over. Within stages, the game's camera follows player one, and so it is player two's responsibility to keep up with player one. If the two become separated, player two may return to player one's location with the "Space Jump" technique.

The World

The Subspace Emissary introduces players to the true world of Smash Bros. This world is composed of a wide variety of terrain ranging from vast forests and grasslands to deep caverns and large deserts. The most notable structure is the enormous stadium that hovers over the land. It was the major place of all battles, until the Subspace invasion began. During this invasion, the entire stadium, along with any potential visitors, were engulfed in a subspace bomb.

The Storyline

The storyline starts with Mario and Kirby fighting in the Arena with Zelda and Peach cheering in the stands. The story can be changed slightly depending on what characters you choose to play as. In this particular storyline, Mario ultimately wins, and Kirby turns into a trophy. As an act of compassion Mario revives Kirby and the two shake hands, forming a friendship. Suddenly, Meta Knight's Battleship Halberd arrives on the scene with an army of Primid, soldiers of the Subspace Army, along with a Subspace Bomb operated by two Robotic Operating Buddies (R.O.B). From the stands, Zelda and Peach come down to Mario and Kirby's side. The Ancient Minister, leader of the Subspace Army, then makes a brief pass, after which the ROBs activate the bomb which has a 3-minute timer. Mario charges forward to deactivate the bomb, but gets blindsided by a cannon ball and is shot miles away. Meanwhile, the two onlooking princesses, Peach and Zelda, get captured in cages by Petey Piranha. Kirby then battles Petey to save one of the two princesses.

Once Kirby breaks one of the cages and saves one of the princesses, Petey is defeated and burning. Wario next comes on the scene and turns the princess who was not saved into a trophy using a gun that fires black arrows. Wario then grabs the trophy and flees. Meanwhile, the bomb is getting ready to blow, and Kirby and the princess take off on a Warpstar, neither being capable of destroying the bomb, which explodes soon after. The bomb imprisons the Arena and its crowd inside an enormous orb of dark Subspace Energy.

Meanwhile, Pit, in Skyworld, is watching Mario and Kirby's fight on a screen. Once he sees the whole terrible scene, including the bomb explosion, he retrieves his bow from Palutena and sets off to help. Amidst the clouds, the Halberd appears and drops off a wave of Primid to hinder Pit. Pit prevails and notices Mario's trophy stuck in the clouds and revives Mario. Pit and Mario join forces with the goal of destroying the Subspace Army.They miss catching the Halberd but see an Arwing fly by.

Kirby and the princess then get shot down by the Halberd and land on the ship. They then explore the surface of the ship when Fox and his Arwing come to fight the Halberd. Fox dodges laser fire but gets hit by the Halberd's retractable arm. Fox's Arwing then spirals and crashes onto the ship, knocking Kirby and the other princess down to earth. There, they battle members of the Subspace Army.

Meanwhile, Donkey Kong and Diddy Kong chase after King Bowser's minions, who have stolen their bananas to lure them out of Kongo Bongo. After a battle with a Mega Goomba, DK and Diddy find their bananas, but are ambushed by Bowser. DK punches Diddy to safety, and is then reverted into a trophy by Bowser, who is using the same gun as Wario.

Mario and Pit arrive at the surface world and chase the Ancient Minister but are unable to catch him.

Later, Diddy finds Fox's crashed Arwing by an enormous lake. Rayquaza suddenly rises out of the lake, destroys what remains of the Arwing, and captures Diddy. Fox is ejected out of his destroyed ship at the last second and rescues Diddy from Rayquaza. Together the two fight Rayquaza.

After Fox and Diddy prevail, Diddy literally drags Fox along to help revive DK. They find Bowser and defeat him, although it is revealed afterwards that this was merely a copy of Bowser formed by a horde of Shadow Bugs, which make up nearly all of the enemies from Subspace. The real Bowser strikes, and Diddy and Fox are forced to flee into the water.

Meanwhile, in a faraway place, Lucas is attacked by a Pokey statue. He trips, but is saved by Ness, who defeats the creature. Pokey then appears from iside the statue, and commences battle with Ness and Lucas. Pokey is eventually defeated, but Wario ruins the moment by firing another black arrow at Lucas. Ness pushes Lucas out of the way, but in so doing is reverted into a trophy, which Wario runs off with. Lucas runs off.

Lucas bumps into Pokemon Trainer, who throws out Squirtle and both battle a group of Primids. Both then decide to team-up and find his other Pokemon.

Marth stands on an abandoned castle and watches as an army of Primid march to the ruined castle behind a recently exploded bomb. After defeating the army, Meta Knight attacks him and engage in battle, both thinking they are part of the other side. They set aside their differences to fight the Primid. Both catch up to the Ancient Minister, but fail to stop him until Ike arrives and successfully disables the Minister's Subspace Bomb.

Luigi is standing in a road and is frightened by Waddle Dees. He gets scared and surprised when King Dedede turns him into a trophy. Wario then appears in a cart with a trophied Ness and one of the princesses. The king uses Luigi as bait to steal the cart.

Link pulls the Master Sword from its rock in the forest. The Halberd then flies over the sky and releases a group of Primid. Yoshi wakes up and both decide to team up. After the battle, they reach the end of the forest and barely miss the Halberd so they continue on.

Zero Suit Samus is seen infiltrating an underground compound. She finds Pikachu trapped and being tortured by an electric beam. Samus frees Pikachu and is then attacked by ROBs. Samus and Pikachu then find what Samus was really trying to find: her Power Suit.

Kirby and the princess encounter Bowser and he shoots the princess with the trophy gun. He then creates a copy of the princess and gives her the trophy gun.

If Peach is the copy: The fake Peach tries to fire at Mario and Pit but is stopped by Link and Yoshi (mostly Link by the Master Sword). Link and Yoshi then destroys the copy which catches Mario's eye, enraging him and attack Link and Mario and Pit battle Yoshi and Link. Link and Yoshi wins and Mario and Pit become trophies. King Dedede drives by in the car, which Link notices the Zelda trophy and Kirby jumps on and tries to free the trophies. Kirby reactivates Mario and Pit. Pit then fires an arrow at the cart to slow it down.

If Zelda is the copy: The fake Zelda tries to fire at Link but is stopped by Mario and Pit. Mario and Pit then destroys the copy which catches Link's eye, enraging him and attack Mario and Mario and Pit battle Yoshi and Link. Mario and Pit win and Link and Yoshi become trophies. King Dedede drives by in the car, which Mario notices the Peach trophy and steals the trophies. Kirby jumps on and tries to free the trophies. Kirby activates Link and Yoshi. Link then fires an arrow at the cart to slow it down.

All of them team up and follow the cart all the way to a tunnel. The team then reaches what looks to be King Dedede's castle with the Halberd in the background.

Ganondorf is watching all these events unfold, even watching his partner Bowser.

Lucas and Pokemon Trainer have reached a tall mountain and watch as Charizard flies by. They continue their quest to catch Ivysaur and Charizard. They reach the bottom of the mountain which appears to have an entrance. Wario appears and engages them in battle (Lucas remembers him and want revenge for what he had done to Ness) and loses causing him to turn into a trophy. With Ness nowhere to be found, the pair continues on.

King Dedede is touching up the trophies and puts his medallions on them. Bowser and his armies attack the castle knocking out the king and kidnapping the princess Wario took. Just as they leave, Team Mario arrives just too late to save them. Mario and Pit try to stop them, but Bowser escapes in his Clown Car and heads to the Halberd.

The Ancient Minister sets up a subspace bomb to explode at the castle and flies away looking sadly at his ROBs.

Ganondorf then receives a transmission from his master, Master Hand.

Meanwhile, Lucas and Pokemon Trainer capture Charizard and Ivysaur. They then enter a large underground shaft.

A large robot boss rockets across the desert and is being watched by Meta Knight, Ike, and Marth(Team Knight) Ike and Meta Knight jump to engage this new enemy with Marth unsure of what to do. They reach the boss and they prepare to fight it. They fight and the boss retreats, falling through a floor near a mountain. He falls right in front of Lucas and Pokemon Trainer. They fight and are captured as he rockets up to the surface with them in its hands and discover he is carrying a subspace bomb. Lucas uses his PK Thunder to free them. As they fall to the ground, Meta Knight catches them and flies away from the bomb radius. Wario is absorbed by the blast.

The Minister is preparing another bomb when team Mario attacks. The minister escapes again but is torn up about the ROBs sacrifice as one of them waves good-bye. Mario and his team barely escape.

Diddy and Fox are walking out of the jungle and Diddy is shot by a trophy blast from Bowser. Bowser fires at Fox, who dodges it. He then makes a Shadow Diddy. Bowser is about to shoot again but his trophy gun is destroyed by Falco, who flies in with his Arwing. Bowser escapes again in his Clown Car while Falco, Fox, and Diddy defeat the giant Shadow Diddy. Falco is then dragged along by Diddy to help save DK. They are too late to catch DK as he is transported away to an island in the sky. Falco summons Great Fox and Arwings.

Samus and Pikachu is about to get her power suit but is attacked by power suit clones. She defeats them and claims her power suit. As they make their way to the exit, they are ambushed by Ridley, but manage to defeat him.

Captain Olimar and his Pikmin are attacking a ROB on the same island, but most of the Pikmin are killed by it. A red Pikmin points to a the edge, when Captain Falcon and his ship destroy the ROB and kill most of the Pikmin. Despite this, the two apparently decide to work together. Olimar and Captain Falcon see Falco and Fox's ships attacking the ship that is carrying DK to the island. Diddy jumps out from one of the ships while Captain Falcon and Olimar jump off the island. They all land on the ship. Diddy activates DK and the 4 of them fight members of the Army. Fox and Falco return to looking for the Halberd while the others find themselves heading into the island.

Meta Knight, Marth, Ike, Lucas, and the Pokemon Trainer see the Halberd being attacked by Great Fox above a mountain. Near the top of the mountain they see the Ice Climbers climbing towards the summit. Meta Knight flies up to join them. Near the top of the mountain they run into Lucario. Lucario and Meta Knight fight. The loser (based on the players choice) is turned into a trophy but is revived by the winner and they become friends. The Halberd slams into the mountain, causing the Ice Climbers to fall off the mountain while Lucario and Meta Knight jump on the Halberd.

The Ice Climbers land near Marth, Ike, Lucas, and the Pokemon Trainer and are attacked by members of the Subspace Army. On a nearby hill are Mario, Pit, Kirby, Link, and Yoshi who fight the Army.

On the Halberd, Snake uncovers himself from under his box. Snake fights though the Halberd until he finds Meta Knight and Lucario. He hides under his box, but Lucario uses his Aura powers to see him under the box and uncovers him. Meta Knight is about to attack but Lucario see the Subspace Army coming towards them. The three of them fight the army until they reach a room. The room has the caged trophies of Zelda and Peach. Shadow bugs cover them to make clones of Zelda and Peach. Snake, Lucario, and Meta Knight fight and destroy the clones. Peach and Zelda are freed but are told to stay in that room by Snake.

Zelda transforms into Sheik and she and Peach escape the room. They fight their way to the top of the ship. Meanwhile, Fox and Falco continue to attack the ship. When Peach is almost hit, Sheik jumps onto to Fox's ship and pulls him out of it. They both land on the ship and begin fighting. Peach stops this and gives them both tea.

Snake, Lucario, and Meta Knight reach the control room of the Halberd to find it is controlled by many Mr. Game and Watches. They force them out onto the front of the ship where Peach, Sheik, and Fox are. The Mr. Game and Watches turn out to be clones made of Subspace bugs. These bugs reform into a giant robot. Snake and Lucario jump onto the front of the ship to join Peach, Sheik, and Fox while Falco lands his ship to join them. The six of them fight and destroy the robot forcing the bugs to flee the ship leaving a Mr. Game and Watch trophy behind. Fox gets ready to shoot the trophy but Peach activates it and gives Mr. Game and Watch her umbrella, which he plays with. Meta Knight regains control of his ship and flies it out of the red mist.

Back on the island, Pikachu and Samus attack a Subspace Army base and find the area where Subspace Bomb are made. Captain Falcon, Olimar, DK, and Diddy also find this area. The area is protected by the Ancient Minister and an army of ROBs. Ganondorf appears in a hologram and tells the ROBs to activate the Subspace bomb. The Ancient Minister tell them not to, but Ganondorf takes control over them and has them activate the bombs. The Ancient Minister tries to stop them but Ganondorf has them attack him. Initially appearing to be left to burn, the Ancient Minister turns out to be a ROB. He, Pikachu, Samus, Captain Falcon, Olimar, DK, and Diddy have to fight their way out of the base and off the island. Captain Falcon calls his ship and when they jump off a ledge, they land on it, but the ship is chased by Meta Ridley who they have to fight while on Captain Falcon's ship. They defeat Meta Ridley and escape the island just as the bombs go off.

The Halberd and Captain Falcon's ship land near the beach where The Ice Climbers, Marth, Ike, Lucas, the Pokemon Trainer, Mario, Pit, Kirby, Link, and Yoshi are. A giant cannon appears from Subspace with Bowser and Ganondorf on top. It launches a beam of energy which creates area of subspace where the characters were. The Halberd then fly toward the cannon with the cannon's defense attacking back. The Halberd is hit, but out from it flies an Arwing, Samus' ship, Capt. Falcon's ship,and Olimar's ship which fly toward it, dodging blaster fire. From the opposite side, Kirby flies in on the Dragoon and cuts the cannon in half. As the cannon is falling apart, Bowser and Ganondorf retreat into Subspace. The other characters follow.

The characters appear on a ledge inside subspace. They begin to fight their way toward the center. As Bowser and Ganondorf reach the center, Ganondorf uses the last trophy gun to turn Bowser into a trophy. Master Hand then appears before Ganondorf. However he has laser beams coming out from him like strings. The holder is Taboo. Ganondorf attacks Taboo but is thrown back against Master Hand , releasing him from Taboo's control. Ganondorf lands as a trophy but Master Hand gets up and attacks, only to be defeated. The other characters reach the center. Taboo grows wings and launches a wave that turns all of the characters into trophies. Taboo is then surrounded by glowing spheres and a path to him is formed.

At King Dedede's Castle (which is in Subspace) the badges the King put on Luigi and Ness's trophies revive them. They then remove the badges and revive Dedede. The three of them head toward the center of Subspace, collecting other characters trophies. When they reach the center, King Dedede revives Bowser, who attacks him. King Dedede beats Bowser and then re-revives him. Bowser is about to attack him again but King Dedede hits him in the nose. Forced to realize the seriousness of the situation, Bowser decides to help out.

Elsewhere in Subspace, Kirby is revived and spits out King Dedede's badge. Kirby the heads toward the center of Subspace collecting other characters trophies. When Kirby reaches the center, he finds the Ganondorf trophy. Bowser then attack the trophy in a fit of rage. King Dedede tackles, hugs, and drags Kirby away.

If both Zelda and Link are saved by Luigi, Dedede, Ness, and Kirby, they revive Ganondorf and he reluctantly heads with them toward Taboo. If Wario is saved, as King Dedede is looking toward Taboo, Wario tackles him. Ness and Luigi help the King up. Wario is shocked Ness and Luigi are alive. They point toward Taboo as they head toward him. Wario races up the steps on his motorcycle.

As the characters head toward Taboo, the spheres protect Taboo. The spheres turn out to be wormholes to the many areas absorbed by subspace. The spheres form a maze of many areas in the game. As the characters head though the maze doors led back toward the beginning (quick way thought the maze for future play).

All the characters fight Taboo, but they all lose. Then Taboo is about to turn the characters into trophies again, Sonic dashes in and destroys part of Taboo's wings, preventing him from turning everyone into trophies. The characters then battle Taboo.

After they defeat Taboo, the subspace wormholes vanish and subspace disappears. The characters all stand piece of ground and the camera zooms in on them. The credits then roll with short videos of various cutscenes in the game.

Wolf can join the other characters if after the credits roll the player returns to the part of the game right before Pokemon Trainer finds Ivysaur (with any characters), a new door will appear. The characters will appear in outer space where Wolf will attack them. The characters will fight Wolf in a official match with an announcer and intros on Lylat Cruise stage. The level will end after beating Wolf where Wolf will join the main characters party.

Toon Link can join the main characters if after the credits roll the player returns to the part of the game where Link and Yoshi are first playable. A new door appears in the early part of the level. Toon Link appear on a ship in the Great Sea and attack the characters. The characters will fight Toon Link in a official match with an announcer and intros on Great Sea stage. The level will end after beating Toon Link where Toon Link will join the main characters party.

Jigglypuff can join the other characters if after the credits roll the player returns to the part of the game where Fox and Diddy are attacked by Bowser. After the characters beat Giant Dark Diddy a new door appears. Jigglypuff appear on Pokemon Stadium 2 and attack the characters. The characters will fight Jigglyuff in a official match with an announcer and intros on Pokemon Stadium 2 stage. The level will end after beating Jigglypuff where Jigglypuff will join the main characters party.

Levels

See Levels in the Subspace Emissary for more information

In the Subspace Emissary there are 31 levels that contain the story of the game. The levels are as follows. All levels can be replayed by anyone who has joined the party(anyone who makes it to the end of a level).

The levels are designed like a side scrolling game similar to stages in Melee's Adventure Mode but longer. Boss fights are also common but not as frequent as Melee's. Enemies are also more challenging to defeat and they have accompanying health bars. Playable Characters can also be unlocked by completing certian levels in which they appear.

Weapons and Defense

File:ROBrawl.jpg

Two R.O.B.s activating the bomb.

The Subspace Army possesses special weapons called Subspace Bombs. The R.O.B.s (Robotic Operating Buddies) assist in activating each bomb. When a Subspace bomb explodes, it creates an enormous ball of energy that engulfs the area and brings it into Subspace. It is currently unknown as to what happens to living creatures when sucked into Subspace. In addition to the bombs, the Subspace Army also controls Meta Knight's massive airship, the Halberd. They use the Halberd to transport their armies and deliver the Subspace Bombs to their destinations.

Shadow Bugs

These creatures are pieces of an unknown substance that can merge together to form Primids and other Subspace Army enemies. In addition, Shadow Bugs can also create an evil copy of one of the characters if they come into contact with a trophy of them. According to the Shadow Bug trophy, the Shadow Bugs were first extracted from Mr. Game and Watch and used by Taboo to form Subspace.

Trophy Blasters

These special weapons were used by the three main villains working for the Subspace Army (Ganondorf, Bowser, and Wario). They can instantly transform characters into trophies without having to defeat them in battle. These weapons were used numerous times by Wario and Bowser, but only once by Ganondorf. Supposedly, there were only two in existence, the first one being destroyed by Falco and the other being left behind in Subspace after its last use.

Subspace Cannon

This Cannon is the Subspace Army's ultimate weapon. It is massive in size, being as large as an entire landmass. It has one large turret surrounded by many smaller laser turrets used for defense. The large turret is able to unleash an enormous amount of Subspace energy that is much more effective than that released by Subspace Bombs. The Cannon was used during the storyline to engulf the rest of the Smash World in darkness, but was destroyed by Kirby with the Dragoon machine.

The Primid

The Primid are the Subspace Army's main offensive soldiers [1]. They are puppet-like beings who bear the Subspace symbol on their chest and they appear in different types:

• Common Primid - These are the main Primid enemies that you encounter throughout the game. They mostly run around and make faces at you, but can also attack unexpectedly.http://images.wikia.com/ssb/images/a/ad/Modea01_070720k.jpg
• Red Primid - Making a vague appearance in a trailer, this type of Primid is able to breathe fire.
• Boom Primid - These Primid carry enormous boomerangs and can therefore attack you from great distance.
• Bomb Primid- These black, red, and gray Primid carry large bombs. If you touch one, they will explode or throw bombs at you. Sonic is the best parter to take care of them.
• Saber Primid- Shown in a trailer, these elite fighters wield large, blue beam swords. Based on their nature, they are much more dangerous than other Primid variations.
• Laser Primid- These Primid are able to shoot red lasers from their hands.
• Big Primid- These Primid are the largest Primid type, hence the name. While they are very similar to normal Primid both in attacks and appearance, they are fairly stronger. They also have jump and roll attacks.

Other Enemies

The Subspace army have many robotic minions that assist them greatly during the game, including the R.O.B.s that were seen during the video, whom have missiles and lasers as their weaponry. So far the largest of their robots seem to be the Greap - a large hulking mechanic being that sports two incredible sickles. One of the strangest robots that they've created are the Shaydas, who seem to be made entirely out of fog - though also have two large sword like weapons as well. Their weak spot is the glowing orb in their chest.

The Bytan, while seemingly harmless - aren't, as the small spheroids are capable of multiplying. The Poppant, on the other hand, are relatively harmless, seeing that once you approach them, they'll cower and skedaddle off the stage. Roaders are unicycle like enemies who drive around the stage - and are very fast at doing so. Also, Roaders are reminiscent of the original ExciteBiker.

The Glunder is a static-producing eyeball that hides in a metal shell( There are also fire and ice-using variants called the Glire and the Glice.) When you get near them, they open their shells and send out electricity, fire or ice, depending on the type. Spaaks are large mechanical clouds that try to ram you. When attacked, they turn black and become more aggressive. Mites are tiny creatures that look like stick figure drawings. They like to attack in huge groups and are continuously produced through dark portals that can also be destroyed.

The Trowlon is a pink robotic like creature who is quite thin compared to many of the others. It slithers along the ground and uses its trowel like arms to carry their opponents, or rather your character, away. Whether or not this means an instant kill is unknown. Auroros are large mechanic birds who'll charge their beaks into the ground, attempting to harm you.

Borboras are humanoid, mechanical beings that have trumpet-shaped mouths. They can blow strong gusts of wind to knock you off nearby ledges. Puppits are wooden mannequins held up by strings. They attack with their long claws or by shooting lasers from their eyes. Feyeshes are floating one-eyed squids that attack viciously with their tentacles. Tickens are bulky mechanical suits piloted by small chicks. If the suit is destroyed, the chick will quickly fly away. Jyks are indestructible electric spheres with spikes that move in various directions.

Aside from these well-known enemies, there are others that have also been confirmed to appear. A few of these come from an actual series, including the Hammer Bro., Bullet Bills, Goombas, and Koopas.

Bosses

File:Modea04 070824d.jpg

Petey Piranha attacking with the cages that contain the princesses Peach and Zelda.

There are 10 non-playable bosses the player fights throughout the game.

Petey Piranha is the first boss in the Subspace Emissary. You will fight him as Kirby. He will attack using the cages that contain Peach and Zelda which he captured. Your job is to break one of the cages, thus freeing the princess inside. When defeated, Petey catches fire and falls backwards, dropping both cages.

Rayquaza, the second boss, is fought by Fox and Diddy Kong after Fox's ship crash lands by his lake. He attacks by ramming into the characters, his Dragon Pulse move, diving into and from the ground , using his tail as a whip, and causing a thunder bolt to strike the characters. When defeated, Rayquaza falls to the ground and faints, as Pokemon normally do when defeated.

Porky attacks Lucas and Ness in a robot to form the third boss fight. He attacks by ram the characters, lightning bolt coming from an electric sphere he forms, other forms of lightning, exploding robots, and a giant needle to stab the characters. When defeated, Porky's mecha-suit malfunctions and collapses backwards onto the ground.

Galleom, a new boss, is found by Ike, Marth, and Meta Kinght in the desert. He appears to be a giant robot. He attacks them by stepping on them, punching them, creating earthquakes, ramming them, and falling on them. When defeated he jumps away from them and falls down a hole. He lands in front of Pokemon Trainer and Lucas. He then attacks them in the same way. When defeated by them he picks them up and activates the Subspace Bomb that he is attached to. He rockets into the air. They manage to break free, and he is supposedly destroyed by the bomb.

Ridley attacks Pikachu and Samus as they are escaping a base on a floating island. He attacks by ramming them with his tail, jumping on them, ramming them, and causing winds that can knock them off the field. When defeated, he catches fire and falls down a dark abyss.

Duon, a second Subspace drone, is formed by the shadow bugs that come from the defeated Mr. Game and Watches. It attacks Fox, Falco, Peach, Sheik, Snake, and Lucario. Duon looks like a giant knight robot one-half pink, one-half blue. The two parts are connected by a set of wheels with the Yin-Yang symbol on them. It attacks by cutting them with its arms, jumping on them, hitting them with missiles, ramming into them, hitting them with flying mines, and shooting them with lasers. Both robot heads seem to have different personalities that determine what attacks they use. Following its defeat, the robot will shrink and dissolve into shadow bugs and reveal the true Mr. Game and Watch.

Meta Ridley attacks Pikachu, Samus, Captain Olimar, Captain Falcon, Donkey Kong, Diddy Kong, and ROB as they are escaping the Subspace Army headquarters on Captain Falcon's ship. If they do not defeat him in two minute they will be catch in many the subspace bombs exploding. He attacks by spitting fire at them, ramming them, attacking them with his claws, and lowering the ship off screen (beating them if they are on it). When defeated, he catches fire once again and falls behind the ship.

'Crazy Hand is the hand that was a secret boss in Melee. Here, he is fought normally, just like any other battle with him. It's unknown if he has any new attacks. He is controlled by Taboo. He's the The Left Hand.

Master Hand is the hand that's appeared in every Smash as a boss. You fight him normally, just like any other boss battle with him. After defeating him it is discovered that he was controlled by Taboo. It's unknown if he has new moves. He's the Right Hand.

Taboo, the game's final boss, is attack by everyone at the end of the game. He attacks in may ways. They are turning into a fish and ramming them, grabbing them and throwing them, throwing a star at them, launching three waves that can throw them offscreen, cutting them, launching needles at them, attacking them with a cannon, growing huge and then shooting lasers from his eyes, caging them and throwing them into the ground, hitting them with electric spheres, hitting them with spikes, and hitting them with star bombs. These attacks do high amounts of damage the lowest being 38%.
