Bytans (バイタン,Bitan) are enemies inSuper Smash Bros. Brawl'sSubspace Emissary mode. They first appear inThe Ruined Zoo.

Description[edit]

Bytans are spherical, limbless enemies. Their body is divided in two sides, making them resemble aPoké Ball. Their upper half is colored and features a large, red eye with a darker pupil. Their lower half is white, has a gaping smile, and has the Subspace Army's symbol on the back. Bytans come in nine different colors: red, orange, yellow, green, blue, purple, pink, brown, and black.

InSuper Smash Bros. Brawl[edit]

As enemies[edit]

Bytans can multiply within seconds by producing another Bytan from their eyes, forcing the player to destroy them quickly before things get out of hand. They attack more on lower difficulties while multiplying faster on higher ones. They often appear inambushes, so that they can reproduce more and make it harder for the player to defeat them. They attack with a charging headbutt, and their attacks are telegraphed by them rolling.

There are also giant-sized Bytans, which are about four times larger and have roughly five times more health. These Bytans are far less likely to multiply than the ordinary ones are.

Trophy[edit]

Bytan's trophy inBrawl
Bytan
A spherical creature divided into two colors. There's a big, staring eye in the colored section, and the white part contains the creature's gaping mouth and exposed fangs. It rolls along and smashes into all enemies it meets. After a short time, it will pop another Bytan out of its eye, so if you leave it alone, it will continue to produce one Bytan after another.
