The Subspace Bomb Factory (亜空間爆弾工場,Subspace Bomb Factory) is the 27th stage ofAdventure Mode: The Subspace Emissary inSuper Smash Bros. Brawl.
Overview[edit]
The stage opens withDonkey Kong,Diddy Kong,Captain Falcon, andOlimar entering the island after they defeat theSubspace Army's forces from a previous level. After the level, they show up to confront theAncient Minister, withSamus andPikachu already in the room fromthe previous level. The heroes are ready to fight the Minister, but he does not seem to fight. Seeing that the Minister is not following orders, a hologram ofGanondorf appears to take control of theR.O.B. Squad. The R.O.B.s begin to advance towards theSubspace Bombs in the room, but the Minister stops them. Angered, Ganondorf pushes a button to stop the R.O.B.s from obeying the Minister. As they begin to take the bombs down, the Minister knocks them away, but Ganondorf overrides their free will and forces them to attack the Minister. He is bombarded with lasers and eventually set on fire. Ganondorf laughs and disappears as a flock ofAuroros enter to distract the heroes. However, the Minister fires lasers from his eyes at them and destroys them, showing that he's still alive. His robe is burned away to reveal that he himself is a R.O.B. After this, the player may choose from the aforementioned characters to ward off the remaining Subspace forces.
After defeating the enemies, the gang starts to try fighting off the R.O.B.s who are trying to detonate the bombs. R.O.B is in melancholia and pays no attention to Diddy's screams for help. Realizing there is not enough time, Captain Falcon calls in theFalcon Flyer so they can all escape from certain doom. DK carries the miserable R.O.B to safety and they leap down a shaft. As they descend towards a pit, the Falcon Flyer pulls up beneath them, catching them and shooting down a tunnel towards safety. As they rush through the tunnel, however,Meta Ridley notices them and gives chase, desperate for revenge against Samus and Pikachu, starting a boss battle that the player must clear within two minutes to pass.
After defeating Meta Ridley, the gang escapes from theIsle of the Ancients as it is consumed by the Subspace Bombs' detonation and sucked intoSubspace.
Back atthe Canyon,Mario spots the rift, along withLink,Pit,Yoshi,Kirby,Marth,Ike,Ice Climbers,Pokémon Trainer, andLucas, who all recently teamed up to fight off the massive ambush of the Subspace Army. Soon, the Falcon Flyer and theHalberd, carryingMeta Knight,Lucario,Snake,Peach,Zelda,Fox,Falco, andMr. Game & Watch, lands and all the fighters are united.

Music[edit]

Trivia[edit]
- If the player skips the platform that triggers the vertical autoscrolling section just before the Subspace Bomb cutscene, the fight that loads the collision for the rest of the section will not trigger, and continuing up will cause the player to encounter someunusual results. This can only be accomplished through the use of cheats, however.
- This is the only boss stage (The Falcon Flyer) that isn't flat.
- For some reason, the time limit for Meta Ridley is 2:00, and Subspace Bombs are set for 3:00. When the heroes left the Subspace Bomb storage room, the bomb was under 2:00. No time is set during the route to the Falcon Flyer, but the screen rolls around.
- This contradictsPetey Piranha's boss fight, where a Subspace bomb is present, yet there is no time limit.
- After completing this stage, the player may not replay any of the stages set on the Isle of Ancients untilThe Great Maze is completed:The Research Facility (Part I),The Research Facility (Part II),Outside the Ancient Ruins,The Subspace Bomb Factory (Part I), and this stage, as the Isle of Ancients has been consumed by Subspace.
- Upon completing this level, all characters who joined the player's team are merged into one group so the player is no longer required nor able to select a group when replaying previous levels.
- This level is one of six levels (the other five beingThe Plain,The Ruins,The Swamp,The Research Facility (Part II), andThe Great Maze) that do not open with a cutscene.
