The Yellow Devil is a boss hailing from the Mega Man series that appears on Wily Castle in Super Smash Bros. 4. It attacks players by splitting into sections and moving across to the other side of the stage and shooting lasers out of its eye. Players can also attack its eye, and by doing so, have the potential to defeat it. The player who lands the killing blow on the Yellow Devil will be protected from an explosion that it creates, which will damage all players caught in its blast.

Origin

The Yellow Devil originally appeared in Mega Man, where it served as the stage boss for the first stage of that game's Wily Fortress. It used attack patterns similar to its appearance in Smash 4, splitting into multiple parts and moving across to the other side of the stage. The Yellow Devil's weakness was the Thunder Beam, which was obtained by defeating Elec Man.

Yellow Devil

NA: This massive baddy splits itself into small pieces and flies across the battlefield, striking anyone in the way. Deal damage to it by attacking the eye, or hide behind its body to avoid your foes. Be careful— whoever deals the final blow triggers an enemy-launching explosion!

PAL: This towering foe splits himself into small bits to move across the stage and wreak havoc. If you can get behind him, you can use him as a shield and also hit his eye more easily. Hit his eye enough and he'll explode! Try to get your opponents caught in the explosion to do some real damage!

Trivia

• When Mega Man was originally released in North America and Europe, the Yellow Devil's name was changed to "Rock Monster" in due to a policy Nintendo had against religious references in NES games at the time. This was reversed in the MegaDrive remake Mega Man: The Wily Wars where its name was reverted back to its original Japanese name, where it has been retained ever since.
• Yellow Devil is the first third-party boss and villain to appear in a Smash Bros. game (not counting cameos from trophies, stickers, ect.)
