Subspace Army: Difference between revisions

[[File:Subspace_Army.jpg|thumb|upright=1.1|A small fraction of the Subspace Army]]

The '''Subspace Army''' is an evil organization made up of formless beings in the Subspace Emissary of ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]''. They are the main antagonists, led by the mysterious character, the [[Ancient Minister]]. It is later revealed that the Ancient Minister was forced to lead the army by [[Ganondorf]], [[Bowser]] and [[Wario]]. The trio were the ones truly controlling the army and did so under the orders of [[Master Hand]]. Master Hand is later revealed to be controlled by [[Tabuu]], the true leader of the army. The Subspace Army's main troops are a group of small shadow beings, known as [[#Primids|Primids]]. Their goal was to pull the entire world into [[Subspace (Super Smash Bros. Brawl)|Subspace]] so as to destroy it. They hoped to accomplish this by using a powerful and deadly weapon known as the [[Subspace Bomb]]. The army is also in command of a large assortment of weapons and doomsday devices such as the [[Subspace Gunship]], a flying fortress that could trap entire areas in subspace without the use of the Subspace Bomb. [[Petey Piranha]], [[Porky]], [[Ridley]], his [[Meta Ridley|Meta form]], and Bowser's [[Koopa Troop]] are also members of the Subspace Army. The creatures in the Subspace Army were created from [[Shadow Bug]]s, which originated from [[Mr. Game & Watch]]. The army also has in their possession a weapon known as the [[Dark Cannon]], used by both Bowser and Wario to turn other characters into [[Trophy (Super Smash Bros. series)|trophies]].

 

==Basic troops==

===Armank===

[[File:Armank.jpg|thumb|An Armank]]

An '''Armank''' is an enemy hidden inside a tank-like structure. It moves on treads and has a functional construction arm capable of powerful attacks. Continuing to attack the arm destroys it, revealing the Armank's weak spot: a big green blob that controls the vehicle. Its name is a portmanteau of "armor" and "tank". It is the most powerful of the common units.

[[File:BrawlAuroros.jpg|thumb|An Auroros]]

The '''Auroros''' is a pointy bird-like enemy creature. It has a long and pointy beak, which it uses as a weapon by dive-bombing from the air with its beak pointed straight at the ground.

On a side note, Auroros' are one of three Subspace Army enemies to appear in at least one cutscene.

[[File:Borboras-SSE.png|thumb|A Borboras]]

===Bucculus===

[[File:Bucculus2.jpg|thumb|A Bucculus]]

A '''Bucculus''' is a flower-like creature found planted. Its lips, the only part of them visible from the ground, are covered with spikes that stick to the player and steals health. The torso area is a pink sack storing its health, but it is not necessarily a weak point. Despite this, if it is defeated when the sac is full, it may drop a [[Maxim Tomato]]. Otherwise, it may drop [[Food]].

===Buckot===

[[File:Buckot2.jpg|thumb|A Buckot]]

A '''Buckot''' is an enemy consisting of a head resembling a Primid's with a propeller, enabling it to fly; two robotic arms, and gloves on its hands. Its primary attack consists of dumping red-hot chunks of metal onto the player. The gloves are probably used to protect themselves from the very hot metal. Sometimes, probably by mistake, Buckots drop food instead of metal onto the player, thereby healing them.

 

They appear in [[The Ruined Zoo]], [[The Battlefield Fortress]], [[The Wilds]], [[The Research Facility]], the [[Battleship Halberd Interior]], the [[Battleship Halberd Exterior]], [[The Subspace Bomb Factory]], and [[The Great Maze]].

They are identical to a character from the old [[Game Boy]] accessory, the [[Game Boy Camera]].

===Gamyga===

[[File:Gamyga.jpg|thumb|Pit facing a Gamyga]]

A '''Gamyga''' is an enemy with a colorful-art clown head, supported by a stepped set of four yellow bases which also have eyes and arms. This enemy is the height of the screen and it blocks the path, often forcing players to defeat it. It attacks by shooting lasers from its eyes. The bases can be attacked one by one to bring the enemy down to size, but the creature will be defeated fully only when the head is destroyed, similar to [[Pokey]]s.

 

[[Trophy Stand]]s will only turn a Gamyga into a trophy when used on the head after the body has been destroyed.

===Generator===

[[File:Generator SSB4 3DS.jpg|thumb|A Generator in ''Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS'']]

'''Generators''' are black and purple portals which spawn up to thirty [[Mite]]s to attack the player. They do not stop spawning enemies until this limit is reached or they are defeated, and do not have a health bar, unlike all other enemies, making it difficult to know how much damage is needed to destroy one at any given point.

 

They were not named until their later appearance in ''[[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS]]'', where they appear in the Smash Run mode. In this mode, they can also spawn other small enemies alongside the Mites, and they give more stat boosts the sooner they are defeated.

===Nagagog===

[[File:Nagagog.jpg|thumb|A Nagagog]]

A '''Nagagog''' is a sumo wrestler-like enemy with a decorative twirl on its head and a small mouth. It will start small and blue, but if it takes enough damage, it makes a laughing noise and grows larger, also turning yellow in the process. As it takes more damage, it will turn into an even larger, red version of itself.

 

While the Nagagog is changing into a larger version of itself, it will not take damage from attacks or items. Its health decreases much faster when it is in its larger forms. It attacks like a wrestler, jumping on top of the player. Its attack is a body slam that damages players in proportion to its body size. If players are quick with attacks, however, they may defeat Nagagogs before they have a chance to reach full size.
