The Final Battle (World of Light)

The Final Battle
The map of The Final Battle, with all captured fighters.

The Final Battle is the last realm in World of Light. Galeem and Dharkon are fighting over full control of the world. It is unlocked after defeating Dharkon in The Dark Realm. Defeating more spirits from one side will grant the other side more power. The player can defeat Galeem or Dharkon alone like before to get one of the bad endings, but acquiring the true ending requires the player to free Master Hand and Crazy Hand to fight Galeem and Dharkon at the same time.

Spirits

Spirits in this part of World of Light are split in two parts, the ones in the Light side and the ones on the Dark side. Each spirit from one side matches one from the other side.

Bosses

There are no new bosses in the Final Battle. Rather, the area faces the player against Master Hand twice, Crazy Hand twice, Galeem, Dharkon, and both Galeem and Dharkon. The Galeem & Dharkon fight lets the player choose any three currently available fighters and pits them against the sub-world bosses before fighting them.

Captured Fighters

The final 4 captured fighters can be unlocked in The Final Battle. Unlike the previous realms, The Final Battle does not have any sub-worlds. Palutena and Bayonetta will only appear after beating the first Crazy Hand fight and Master Hand fight respectively. The list of fighters is organized roughly by order of appearance.

Trivia

• Masahiro Sakurai has claimed that Bayonetta and Palutena were the only two characters other than Kirby that could have feasibly survived Galeem's initial attack in the opening the World of Light. Those two are also the final Captured Fighters the player encounters in a regular playthrough of the mode.
