The Subspace Emissary: Difference between revisions

The characters form teams based on the developments of the story. Masahiro Sakurai has stated that most hidden characters are unlocked by simply playing through The Subspace Emissary and, indeed, Lucario is unlocked in this fashion. A second player can join at any time, though the camera will focus on player one.

Led by a being known as the Ancient Minister, the Subspace Army's plan is to cut apart the world and carry it into Subspace. This is achieved by two R.O.B.s detonating a Subspace Bomb and the minions known as Primid, which are created from Shadow Bugs from Mr. Game & Watch, attacking anyone who resists. Now everyone must team up to stop this threat. After finding the Ancient Minister, who turns out to be a R.O.B. in disguise, all the Subspace Bombs in the factory detonate, creating a portal into Subspace from which Ganondorf and Bowser emerge on a giant battleship. The characters of Super Smash Bros. Brawl team up and enter Subspace, where they see Master Hand chained by what appear to be chains made of light. Master Hand crashes to the ground just as a mysterious being known as Taboo emerges. Taboo attacks with his wings, turning all the characters into trophies. {{wk|Kirby}} awakens because of his DeDe badge he picked up from [[wk:King Dedede|King DeDeDe]]. He then proceeds to pick up the trophies of other characters. The player then goes through the Great Maze, a mashed up version of the real world that Taboo has made in Subspace. When the player finds all the characters and fight their Subspace versions,  the door to Taboo is unlocked. Once again, the characters confront Taboo. He is about to turn them into trophies with his wings again, when Sonic shows up, tearing through Taboo's wings, rendering them useless, and wags his fingers at Taboo. He is also unlocked for use against Taboo. Once the player defeats Taboo, the credits roll and several in-game things are unlocked.  

Separated from Donkey Kong, Diddy Kong sees an Arwing get shot down by a blast from a nearby lake. Upon reaching the lake, Rayquaza emerges from the water and captures Diddy Kong but then Fox jumps out of the ship and makes a dramatic rescue. Rayquaza then attacks Fox with a ball of energy, but Fox reflects it back at Rayquaza. Fox and Diddy Kong then fight Rayquaza.

While searching for her stolen power suit in the research facility, Zero Suit Samus discovers Pikachu, whose electricity is being harnessed for the facility's power in a capsule-like machine. Seeing the pain it causes to Pikachu, Samus uses her Paralyzer Whip to free it, sounding an alarm. Pikachu and Samus travel together throughout the facility and the Bomb Factory.

At the top of a snowy mountain, Meta Knight and the Ice Climbers encounter a meditating Lucario. After a fight that unlocks Lucario, he helps Meta Knight in his mission to recover his stolen battleship Halberd from a hoard of Mr. Game & Watches.  

After beating the Subspace Emissary, the player can return to the swamp and locate a door that did not exist before. Upon entering the door, a cinematic shows Jigglypuff {{m|Sing|singing}} at [[Pokémon Stadium (stage)|Pokémon Stadium]]. The player then fights Jigglypuff; if the player succeeds, Jigglypuff joins the team. Other than this, Jigglypuff doesn't have a significant role in the story.
