The map of the Subspace Emissary

The Subspace Emissary is the adventure mode campaign ofSuper Smash Bros. Brawl. Rather than being based around organized one-on-one or group fights, it usually functions as abeat 'em up-style game, with occasional more traditionalSuper Smash Bros. fights. Taking place in theWorld of Trophies, The Subspace Emissary has a full-length plot and several stages, being more advanced than itsequivalent fromSuper Smash Bros. Melee. It has fivedifficulty settings: Easy, Medium, Hard, Very Hard, and Intense. The main map shows the world map and which places can be entered, and when the player selects a stage, they can choose which characters in their team to use, with the number of options increasing as the storyline progresses. The player can usestickers, each granting a certain effect such as resistance or an increases statistic. When the player loses everystock, they can be asked to continue, although anystickers and trophies of enemies collected are reduced in half. If the player quits, they receive aGame Over, resulting in the loss of half of their stickers, but not of the collected trophies. A method for unlocking each of the unlockablefighters is through The Subspace Emissary, but three of them can be unlocked only after completing the mode and defeating them in a battle.

The Subspace Emissary can be played in single-player or with two players. Thecamera always follows the first player, so if the other player goes offscreen, they warp to the first player automatically. Even if only the first player is defeated, this still takes them to the continue screen. The Start Button or button can warp the second player to the first player, although this does not work during boss battles.

Plot

SmashWiki article:Plot summary of The Subspace Emissary

The story begins with theSubspace Army arriving on theHalberd and interrupting a fight betweenMario andKirby. TheAncient Minister deploys aSubspace Bomb controlled by twoR.O.B.s, and while Mario tries to intercept it, he is knocked away byPetey Piranha, who has bothPeach andZelda each trapped in a cage. Kirby does manage to defeat Petey Piranha, rescuing only one of the princesses, whileWario arrives to steal the other. The Subspace Bomb eventually detonates, consuming thearena intoSubspace.

Mario, Kirby, Peach, and Zelda prepare to fight off the Subspace Army.

Peach turned into a trophy by Wario

Meanwhile, in the jungle,Diddy is separated fromDonkey Kong byBowser, though Diddy would soon team up withFox, who had been struck down into the jungle with hisArwing. The characters are joined byFalco, as well asCaptain Falcon andOlimar, all of whom manage to rescue Donkey Kong from the Subspace Army. Fox and Falco leave the group to continue battling the Halberd, now with assistance from theGreat Fox.

Elsewhere,King Dedede turnsLuigi into atrophy then uses him to distract Wario as King Dedede steals hiscargo and its contained trophies.Lucas and thePokémon Trainer later defeat Wario in retaliation for capturing Ness earlier. After the Pokémon Trainer catchesCharizard, he and Lucas meet up withMarth,Meta Knight, andIke. The fighters watch as the Halberd battles the Great Fox, prompting Meta Knight to scale the cliffs to try and reclaim the Halberd. On the way up, Meta Knight is joined by theIce Climbers, then laterLucario after battling him on the summit. After the Ice Climbers fall as a result of the Halberd smashing the tethered Great Fox against the mountain, Meta Knight and Lucario take the opportunity to board the ship.

Mario, Yoshi, Kirby, Link, and Pit escape from a Subspace Bomb.

Mario is later revived byPit, whileLink andYoshi team up in the forest. When Kirby leaves, Bowser makes an evil clone of the captured princess: If the clone is of Peach, it attacks and is defeated by Link, who is met with retaliation from Mario; if the clone is of Zelda, it is defeated by Mario, who is met with resistance from Link instead. Either way, the conflict between Mario and Link ends when King Dedede arrives with the other princess statue, and both Mario and Link team up against him. The characters follow King Dedede back to hiscastle, though they are not able to prevent Bowser from crashing in and taking the princess, leaving behind abadge that King Dedede had put on his three stolen statues. The heroes soon team up with the Ice Climbers, Lucas, Pokémon Trainer, Marth, and Ike.

The Ancient Minister reflects on his actions.

Meanwhile,Zero Suit Samus infiltrates the Subspace Army's base on theIsle of the Ancients, rescuesPikachu, recovers herPower Suit, and battlesRidley. She and Pikachu head over to the Subspace Bomb depot. Diddy, Donkey Kong, Captain Falcon, and Olimar all arrive too, having ridden an enemy barge to the island. The Ancient Minister confronts the fighters at first, but loses morale after so many R.O.B.s had been sacrificed to detonate Subspace Bombs. The Ancient Minister's robes are burned away by the R.O.B.s, whomGanondorf has taken control of, revealing the Ancient Minister to be the main R.O.B. As more Subspace Bombs are being activated, the protagonists leave on theFalcon Flyer, being unable to stop them.

Back on the Halberd, Meta Knight and Lucario team up withSnake, free the captured princesses and kick a crew ofMr. Game & Watch clones out of the cockpit. Peach andSheik (Zelda's disguised form) make their way onto the deck as Fox and Falco attack in their Arwings. Snake, Lucario, and Falco defeatDuon, who had formed from the Mr. Game & Watch clones, freeing the real Mr. Game & Watch. Meta Knight takes the helm of the Halberd and flies it to shore right as the Falcon Flyer lands, uniting all three groups of fighters.

Bowser and Ganondorf attack the heroes before going into Subspace.

From the massive sphere of Subspace that had engulfed the Island of the Ancients, Bowser and Ganondorf emerge with theSubspace Gunship and use it to fire larger Subspace blasts. Though the Halberd is destroyed from the attack, this was a diversion allowing the fighters to enter Subspace using smaller aircraft. The gunship is destroyed when Kirby uses theDragoon to drive into its cannon. During the two villains' retreat, Bowser is betrayed by Ganondorf, who transforms him into a trophy as he visitsMaster Hand before realizingTabuu had been controlling Master Hand all along. Master Hand is defeated by Tabuu, who then transforms every protagonist into a trophy, Ganondorf included. The only exceptions are Ness, Luigi, and Kirby, since each of them had been revived by King Dedede's badges. Throughout Subspace, the three characters rescue every ally and former enemy alike. All of the fighters finally enterThe Great Maze and defeat every boss and theirshadowy counterparts. When the fighters make it over to Tabuu,Sonic arrives unexpectedly and destroys Tabuu's wings, saving the fighters from transforming back into trophies. The story concludes with the fighters defeating Tabuu and finally restoring theWorld of Trophies.

Setting

Location	Information
World of Trophies	TheWorld of Trophies (referred to as "This World" on the Smash Bros. DOJO!! website and introphy descriptions) is the general setting of The Subspace Emissary. The characters that appear in the world are described as being fighters that do very little other than battle. After a fighter is defeated, they revert back to an inanimate trophy, though this can be undone if another fighter touches the trophy's base (or if the trophy has one ofKing Dedede'sbadges attached to it). The stages in the world consist of a large stadium, a forest, a large grassy land, a jungle, mountains, a large lake, a deserted zoo, a swamp, a desert (which also includes a large castle), a glacial mountain, some ruins, and a large floating island with a secret base. Language Name Meaning Notes Japanese フィギュアたちの世界せかい[?] Figyua-tachi no Sekai Figures' World
Island of the Ancients	TheIsland of the Ancients,[1] also referred to as theIsle of Ancients andIsle of the Ancients,[2] is home to severalR.O.B.s, led by a single R.O.B. known as the Master Robot.[2] WhenTabuu first found the Island of the Ancients, he decided to use the robots to help him make Subspace Bombs. Taking the island over, he uses their advanced technology to build weapons for the Subspace Army, such as theSubspace Bombs, theDark Cannons, and theSubspace Gunship. The Master Robot, not wanting to lose so many R.O.B.s to Tabuu, agrees to join the Subspace Army and reluctantly begins production of the Subspace Bombs, becoming theAncient Minister out of shame.[2] AfterGanondorf takes control of the robots on the island, he forces them to detonate several Subspace Bombs at once. He does this so as to transport a Subspace Gunship through to the World of Trophies. Later, after the defeat of Tabuu, a shining "X" appears in the sky where the Island of the Ancients was; it did not return to the world as a side effect of the detonation of the many Subspace Bombs at once.[2]
Subspace	Subspace is a dark dimension that is highly important to the game's plot. In The Subspace Emissary, the Subspace Army usesSubspace Bombs to draw anyone and anywhere into Subspace. Each time a bomb detonates, a certain part of theWorld of Trophies is consumed and sucked into a place known as Subspace. The first area ever consumed was theMidair Stadium. Throughout the game, the Subspace Army kept consuming many other parts of the world. Subspace explosions do not kill characters sucked into it (unless they are at ground zero, as happens with the variousR.O.B. units) and instead just warp them to a world of darkness. All the characters in the game eventually enter Subspace, where they followBowser andGanondorf after the destruction of theSubspace Gunship. However, once there, they are attacked and incapacitated byTabuu.Luigi,King Dedede, andNess (and laterKirby) are revived bybadges created by Dedede and come to the rescue, journeying through Subspace and reviving all the trophies. When the heroes have regrouped, even recruiting the former villains into the team, Tabuu forces all the characters to go throughThe Great Maze, a fusion of the areas of theSmash Bros. world previously pulled into Subspace. After a long journey, the group reaches Tabuu's chamber.Sonic joins them in the fight. They then defeat Tabuu, causing the consumed locations to be restored to the world.

31:The Great Maze	An enormous labyrinth of sections of previous levels haphazardly connected to each other by doors, brought together by theSubspace Bomb explosions andTabuu's power. To face Tabuu, rematches must be taken against the game's large bosses, as well as fake versions of the various characters, all scattered in odd places across the maze, marked by shadowy energy emanating from the doors leading to them. The maze is so large and time-consuming that it has Save Points (which also restore life and allow characters and stickers to be reselected) and Warp Points scattered throughout, while a map appears when the level is paused, adding indicators to remaining battles once a full loop around the maze has been made; it is the only stage with these features. Once Tabuu is faced, he attempts his devastating attack again, only to be interrupted and crippled bySonic, who joins the heroes for the final battle. Once Tabuu is defeated, all the Subspace explosions cave in on themselves and restore the land to its origin. TheIsland of the Ancients, however, remains destroyed due to the amount of bombs deployed at once on it; a glowing X remains in the sky where it once floated.

Subspace Army

A small fraction of the Subspace Army

TheSubspace Army is a group of formless beings led byTabuu, though with a lower hierarchy of other rulers such asMaster Hand and theAncient Minister. Their goal is to pull the entireWorld of Trophies intoSubspace and destroy it, something that they had hoped to accomplish by using the powerful and deadlySubspace Bombs. SomeSuper Mario enemies are part of the organization, and bothBowser andWario are commanders, along with fellowThe Legend of Zelda villainGanondorf. The army has several weapons and doomsday devices such as theSubspace Gunship, a flying fortress that can trap entire areas in subspace without the use of the Subspace Bomb, and theDark Cannon, which both Bowser and Wario have used to turn characters intotrophies. The creatures in the Subspace Army were created fromShadow Bugs, which originated fromMr. Game & Watch.

In the second battle as well as in the Boss Battles mode, the cages are both empty.	Midair Stadium The Great Maze

FalseZeldaandPeach	The Legend of Zelda andSuper Mario	Fake versions of the princesses created byShadow Bugs. Only one appears in the first battle, being based on whichever princessKirby previously saved, now trophified byBowser.

Object	Description
Halberd	Battleship Halberd isMeta Knight's flying ship and arsenal originally created foran ill-fated attempt to conquer Dream Land. It has been stolen by the Subspace Army to use both as a mobile base and a way to disperseShadow Bugs, while itsCombo Cannon prevents most direct attacks on it. Many stages are set aboard in, both on the inside and the outside. It being taken back leads to the plot's turning point where the heroes begin to take the upper hand, as well as when they are all gathered together into a single large team. It ends up destroyed by theSubspace Gunship.

This pulls the surrounding area into the Subspace dimension while also damaging or destroying anything in the immediate vicinity like an actual bomb. TwoR.O.B. units must be used to activate each using their arms as plugs, and they are destroyed by the explosion. These explosions affect gameplay; stages covered in Subspace cannot be revisited until the game is completed.

Language Name Meaning Notes Japanese デデデの時限スイッチ[?] Dedede no Jigen Suicchi Dedede's timed switch
Smash Skiff	A flat transport vehicle similar to thecargos, but much larger. It is used to transport theDonkey Kong trophy and later acts as a platform in a battle sequence. Language Name Meaning Notes Japanese フライングプレート[?] Furaingu Purēto Flying Plate
Subspace Gunship	An enormous flying weapon that dwarfs even theHalberd, though due to its immense size it can only enter this world after a large enough Subspace explosion has occurred; specifically, the one from theSubspace Bomb factory exploding.
