Subspace Army

From SmashWiki, the Super Smash Bros. wiki
Jump to navigationJump to search
The Subspace Army's insignia, which appears on most of their forces.

The Subspace Army (亜空軍 Subspace Army) is the antagonistic force of Super Smash Bros. Brawl's Adventure Mode: The Subspace Emissary. Headed by the Ancient Minister, alias R.O.B., and under the guidance of Tabuu, its aim is to expand Subspace using Subspace Bombs and to transport areas of the World of Trophies into it. Most of the enemies the player faces in the mode are associated with the Subspace Army.

Some members of the Subspace Army, such as Poppants and Mites, appear as enemies in the Smash Run mode of Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS, with most also having corresponding trophies. However, they do not have any specific plot-related roles in the game. Some characters from The Subspace Emissary such as Tabuu, Primids, Mites, Duon and the Ancient Minister appear as spirits in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate. In addition, Galleom returns as a boss.

Commanders

Master Hand being controlled by Tabuu's Chains of Light.
  • Tabuu is the embodiment of Subspace and the mastermind behind the army. With his Chains of Light, he controls Master Hand like a puppet to use as a cover to manipulate the villain fighters into his bidding. Only the Ancient Minister knows about Tabuu.
  • Ganondorf is the general of the army, leading the majority of its forces in their bid to conquer the World of Trophies and is also responsible for enslaving the Isle of the Ancients. Despite his loyalties, Ganondorf acts with his own agenda to usurp Master Hand's rule.
  • Bowser is the field commander of the army and the leader of his minions. In contrast to Ganondorf's more administrative role, Bowser prefers catching fighters, as well as using his personal force to take on large assignments, such as assaulting King Dedede's castle. He was the only fighter to be truly loyal to Master Hand, expressing sadness to see him defeated. On the other hand, he dislikes Ganondorf, especially when the latter betrayed him.
  • The Ancient Minister is the leader of the R.O.B. Squad, whose primary task is manufacturing and deploying Subspace Bombs around the world. However, he is a subject to Ganondorf. After being shot many times by his fellow R.O.B.s after falling under Ganondorf's control, his robe was incinerated, showing his true identity as a R.O.B. himself.
  • Wario is a relatively low-ranking member who is only assigned to capture fighters, having no loyalty to the army.
  • Prior to the events of The Subspace Emissary, King Dedede attacked the Halberd at the same time Tabuu's forces did, preventing Meta Knight from defending his ship. While there is no evidence Dedede worked for the army at any time, it may be possible he was tricked by them into attacking the Halberd as a diversion or he simply wanted a friendly duel against Meta Knight and was oblivious to what was currently happening.

Forces

The Subspace Gunship

The Subspace Army consists of a number of enemies, the Primids chief among them. These enemies are created from Shadow Bugs, which are dropped from the Halberd. The Subspace Army also controls the floating Isle of the Ancients and the Subspace Gunship.

The army's weapons, equipment, and troops are almost all stolen or copied. Mr. Game & Watch was used to create Shadow Bugs, which were then used to create a massive army as well as false characters. Samus' Power Suit was apparently stolen and Pikachu was used as a power supply. The Dark Cannon is the most powerful handheld weapon used by the army and these were distributed among its fighter accomplices.

Major members

The following were deployed in areas where they could do maximum damage and were used in cases where the army's standard troops would not be enough.

Primids

Primids are doll-like beings that serve as the Subspace Army's standard foot soldiers. They come into existence when several Shadow Bugs individually amalgamate and their modest strength is made up for by large numbers. Specialization is also present, as there are:

  • Ordinary Primids (Primids with no additional attributes)

Trivia

  • The R.O.B. Squad and Bowser's Minions are the only standard enemies that aren't original characters, due to them originating from the R.O.B. and Mario universes respectively.
