====''Super Smash Bros. Brawl''====
The Ancient Minister first appears in the Subspace Emissary after [[Mario]] and [[Kirby]]'s match at the [[Midair Stadium]], where he detonates a Subspace Bomb, sending the stadium to Subspace. The Ancient Minister escapes, only to be later chased by Mario and [[Pit (character)|Pit]] in [[The Plain]]s, who have little success catching him. He then detonates another Subspace Bomb at [[The Battlefield Fortress]], attracting the attention of [[Marth]], [[Meta Knight]], and [[Ike]]. Regardless of the group's efforts, he manages to escape their grasp, however, he is soon discovered by Mario and Pit once again, along with [[Link]] and [[Yoshi]]. Again, the Ancient Minister escapes, but not before detonating yet another Subspace Bomb, sending [[King Dedede's Castle]] into Subspace.
=====The Subspace Emissary=====
{{rewrite}}
The Ancient Minister escapes from [[Mario]] and [[Pit]], fights [[Marth]], [[Meta Knight]] and [[Ike]] in a desert, fights Mario, Pit, [[Kirby]], [[Yoshi]] and [[Link]] in the same desert and destroys [[King Dedede's Castle]] by sending it into Subspace. However, later, [[Samus]] and [[Pikachu]] enter the factory. They reached the Ancient Minister, and prepares to fight, as seen that Samus readies her Arm Cannon, and Pikachu starts charging electricity. However, the Ancient Minister feels sorry about bringing the world in subspace, and refuses to fight with Samus and Pikachu. Samus lowers her arm cannon, and Pikachu stops charging while looking surprised, as [[Donkey Kong]], [[Captain Falcon]], [[Diddy Kong]] and [[Captain Olimar]] enter. The Ancient Minister still refuses a fight but then Ganondorf appears as a red hologram. The Ganondorf hologram is able to reprogram all the R.O.B.s in his side, by using a special remote-controlled button. The Ancient Minister wants to stop the R.O.B.s from grabbing Subspace Bombs, but the Ganondorf Hologram presses the button, making the R.O.B.s betray the Ancient Minister and attack him. They burn his clothes and leave the Ancient Minister burning.

The Ancient Minister isn't seen again until [[Samus Aran]] and [[Pikachu]] corner him at the Subspace Bomb Factory. Samus and Pikachu are ready to fight, but the Ancient Minister refuses, growing depressed at the amount of R.O.B.s sacrificed to activate the Subspace Bombs, confusing them. Soon after, [[Donkey Kong]], [[Diddy Kong]], [[Captain Falcon]], and [[Captain Olimar]] arrive, also battle-ready, but the Ancient Minister still refuses. A holographic [[Ganondorf]] appears, quickly realizing that he has betrayed him. Using a remote-controlled button, he is able to control the R.O.B.s, ordering them to attack the Ancient Minister and activate every Subspace Bomb in the factory.
The R.O.B.s then bring out Subspace Bombs and activate them. Ganondorf sends enemies ([[Auroros]]es, as seen in the cutscene) to attack everyone. But, the Ancient Minister, still in flames, shoots the Auroroses with lasers. The Ancient Minister rips his flaming clothes off, revealing what is behind the Minister's clothes. Like the other ministers, he is a R.O.B. He then decides to not destroy the world after all and teams up with the gang to stop Ganondorf. However, the gang still has to escape from the Subspace Bombs. [[Diddy Kong]] tries telling R.O.B., the Ancient Minister, to command his R.O.B.s to stop the bombs but R.O.B. shakes his head-it can't be done. Captain Falcon tells the gang to follow him.


The Ancient Minister reveals himself to be another R.O.B. and alongside the other heroes, is able to defeat the [[Subspace Army#Auroros|Auroros]] and other Subspace Army members that Ganondorf summons to defeat them. Using the [[Falcon Flyer]], the heroes escape the Subspace Bomb Factory before all of the Subspace Bombs detonate. From this point on, the Ancient Minister, now named R.O.B., joins the heroes in the fight against Tabuu.
Donkey Kong grabs the minister and takes him to the [[Falcon Flyer]] where the rest of the gang is. They fly off with [[Ridley|Meta Ridley]] trying to slow them down. The party is able to stop Meta Ridley from following them, and the Falcon Flyer leaves the island right as its sucked into Subspace. The Falcon Flyer lands at the desert where the rest of the party is. The [[Halberd]], now with [[Solid Snake|Snake]], Meta Knight, [[Lucario]], [[Princess Peach]], [[Zelda|Princess Zelda]], [[Fox McCloud|Fox]] and [[Mr. Game & Watch]] on board (somehow [[Falco Lombardi|Falco]] left the ship) arrives right next to the Falcon Flyer. The characters all reunite and they all fly to the [[Subspace Gunship]] and try to stop them from destroying everything. Although the Halberd is destroyed, the characters are able to survive by getting into all the other ships.
