A boss in SSBB
Universe Super Smash Bros.

Duon is a boss that is encountered late in The Subspace Emissary. It doesn't hail from any particular series and is unique to Super Smash Bros. Brawl, though it does bear a slight resemblance to Dialga and Palkia and may be a visual reference to them.

Creature Description

Duon is a two-sided robot on one set of wheels; one half being pink and possessing a head cannon, and two arm cannons (similar to Samus Aran). The other half being blue with a curved blade on its head tipped in light blue. Both sides have shoulder exhaust pipes in which rockets can be fired from (as well as their arm cannons) It rotates 180 degrees to change its attack strategy. The wheels it pivot on are the yin and yang symbols from Chinese belief, symbolizing balance and juxtaposition of two forces.

Role in the SubSpace Emissary

After Snake, Meta Knight and Lucario kick all of the Mr. Game & Watches off of the Halberd's bridge, they dissolve into Shadow Bugs, which form into Duon. Duon is a large robot with two upper bodies protruding from its base. One of these bodies has a blade for a head, while the other has a laser. When one head takes damage, it turns 180 degrees and presents its other head. It is fought by Snake, Lucario, Fox, Sheik, Peach, and Falco Tabuu sends Duon to waste the heroes' time when he sends them into a maze of different worlds.

Trivia

  • The coloring on Duon is the same as Palkia(gun side, pink and white) and Dialga(sword side, blue and black)
  • Duon's name comes from the English word duo, which means two, referring to Duon's two sides.
