{{italic title|List of ''Super Smash Bros.'' series bosses}}

This is a list of ''[[Super Smash Bros. (series)|Super Smash Bros.]]'' series bosses.

==Crazy Hand==

[[File:Crazy Hand SSBU.png|thumb|Crazy Hand]]

'''Crazy Hand''' is the secondary antagonist in the ''Super Smash Bros.'' series, first appearing in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]''. He is the left-handed counterpart of [[Master Hand]], of whom he shares an identical appearance with. Like Master Hand, Crazy Hand is a large, disembodied, gloved hand, but unlike Master Hand, Crazy Hand embodies a being of destruction instead of creation.  

Crazy Hand can use more attacks than Master Hand and also attacks more frequently, so fighters are given fewer opportunities to attack Crazy Hand. Many of Crazy Hand's attacks have side effects, such as the [[Lip's Stick]] flower.

===''Super Smash Bros. Melee''===

Crazy Hand is one of the main antagonists in ''Super Smash Bros. Melee'', along with Master Hand and [[Giga Bowser]]. Crazy Hand will appear alongside Master Hand in a timed match when the player completes [[Super Smash Bros. Melee#Classic Mode|Classic mode]] on Normal, Hard, or Very Hard under ten minutes, and does not use a continue. In addition, Crazy Hand is also fought in the 50th event match alongside Master Hand. This match is not timed.

Defeating Crazy Hand in Classic mode earns the player 80000 [[point]]s, which is mandatory for getting the Diskun trophy.

===''Super Smash Bros. Brawl''===

In ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'', Crazy Hand appears under the same circumstances in Classic mode as he does in ''Super Smash Bros. Melee'', though the only difference is that he appears immediately rather than after depleting Master Hand's HP by half. Though he is absent from [[The Subspace Emissary]], Crazy Hand appears in [[Super Smash Bros. Brawl#Boss Battles Mode|Boss Battles Mode]] with the standard Emissary boss health bar.

Unlike in ''Melee'', no bonuses are awarded for defeating Crazy Hand in this game. As a result, defeating Crazy Hand in Classic Mode is not mandatory for completing 100% of ''Brawl''.

===''Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS'' / ''Wii U''===

Crazy Hand retains his role as a final boss in Classic mode in ''[[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS]]'', along with Master Hand. However, rather than having to clear Classic mode within a certain time, Crazy Hand will appear in battle if the player sets the intensity to 3.0 or higher, and chooses the black path at the end. However, on intensity 8.0 and higher, only the black path will be available, and Crazy Hand must be fought. In battle, both Master Hand and Crazy Hand share their stamina. When the intensity is set to 5.1 or higher, after losing a portion of stamina, Master Hand will be engulfed in flames and exit the battle, while Crazy Hand will transform into the Master Core.

Crazy Hand also has a new move, known as the Void. He rips open some part of the air and can suck the players into a void, which deal damage after the players are launched out. The only ways to avoid the Void are using shield, and doing continuous rolls.

==Dharkon==

[[File:SSBU Dharkon Spirit.png|thumb|Dharkon]]

Dharkon first appears after Galeem's first defeat, emerging from a large crack in the sky, along with an army of Crazy Hands. He proceeds to power through Galeem's Master Hand army and takes control of the remaining fighters, creating his own world of darkness. After his first defeat, Dharkon flees to the final world along with Galeem, who wages a war against Dharkon and his Crazy Hand army with his army of Master Hands. In the final world, if only Galeem is defeated, Dharkon enchains Galeem and covers the world in darkness. Mario is seen collapsing, apparently dead, as the screen goes black, before Dharkon's eye appears. In the other bad ending, where only Dharkon is defeated, the world is completely engulfed in light, and Galeem disintegrates Dharkon's body. In the true ending, both Galeem and Dharkon are defeated.

'''Count Dracula''' is the main antagonist from the ''{{wp|Castlevania}}'' series, based on {{wp|Count Dracula|the character of the same name}} from the titular 1897 horror novel, ''{{wp|Dracula}}''. He appeared in various episodes of ''[[Captain N: The Game Master]]'' as a minor antagonist and is a boss character in ''Super Smash Bros. Ultimate''.

==Duon==

[[File:SSBU Duon Spirit.png|thumb|Duon]]

'''Duon''' is a boss in [[Super Smash Bros. Brawl#The Subspace Emissary|the Subspace Emissary]] of ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]''. It is a large robot with wheels and two bodies (hence its name, which is derived from the word "duo"): one armed with cannons and the other with blades.

===''Super Smash Bros. Brawl''===

[[File:Duon-SSE.png|thumb|left|Fox McCloud battles against Duon]]

Six [[Mr. Game & Watch]]es are launched through the glass of the Halberd's control room and land a few feet away from where Zelda, Peach, and Fox stand. They dissolve into [[Shadow Bug]]s and quickly reform into the monstrous Duon, which Fox, Zelda, and Peach prepare to battle. Lucario and Snake jump from the control room's window and land behind the three. Falco lands behind the fighters after ejecting from an [[Arwing]] as it flies overhead. All the characters work together to defeat Duon. After being defeated, Duon shrinks, and loses all of the shadow bugs that made it so powerful. A lone Mr. Game and Watch trophy lays in its place. With the Mr. Game & Watches gone from the wheel, [[Meta Knight]] regains control of the Halberd. Duon later appears in [[The Great Maze]], where it appears at the same area, atop the Halberd's bridge.

==Galeem==

[[File:Galeem SSBU.png|thumb|Galeem]]

Galeem has a dark counterpart, known as Dharkon, who plans to engulf the universe in darkness and serves as the primary rival to Galeem. At the end of the game, if players defeat either Galeem or Dharkon separately, they receive a bad ending. If Dharkon is defeated, Galeem incinerates his counterpart and engulfs all of reality in light, leaving a blank screen. If Galeem is defeated, Dharkon imprisons him in chains. By balancing light and dark in the final area, however, and enlisting the help of Master Hand and Crazy Hand, both Galeem and Dharkon can be faced in the true final battle.

Galeem makes an additional appearance in Sephiroth's reveal trailer, alongside several Master Hands. He is cut in half by Sephiroth as the latter makes his appearance.

==Galleom==

[[File:Galleom SSBU artwork.png|thumb|Galleom]]

'''Galleom''' is a boss that appears in ''Super Smash Bros. Brawl'' and ''Super Smash Bros. Ultimate''. It is a purple-skinned ape-like monster in a robotic form. Galleom possesses the ability to "transform" between a futuristic tank form and an upright robot. Its name is a corruption of "galleon", a ship class from the 16th-18th centuries.

===''Super Smash Bros. Brawl''===

Galleom is first fought by Meta Knight, Marth, and [[Ike]]. After the battle, Galleom takes a huge leap and lands near to where [[Wario]] was once turned into a trophy. However, the floor breaks from the impact of the landing, and Galleom falls into [[The Ruined Hall]]. Galleom then sees [[Lucas]] and [[Pokémon Trainer]], and fights them. After the second battle, Galleom grabs Lucas and Pokémon Trainer and opens its cranium, revealing a [[Subspace Bomb]]. Galleom launches into the air with them having only 15 seconds left, intending to take them with itself to its death.  

The Galleom trophy is earned by use of a Trophy Stand. To get the trophy of the tank form of Galleom, the player must clear the Boss Battles game mode on Intense difficulty level.

==Ganon==

===''The Legend of Zelda''===

In the original ''[[The Legend of Zelda (cartoon)|The Legend of Zelda]]'' television series produced by [[DIC Entertainment]], Ganon starred as the primary antagonist. His goal was to steal the Triforce of Wisdom from Link and Princess Zelda. He was portrayed by the late [[Len Carlson]].

===''Super Smash Bros. Brawl''===

{{br}}

===''Super Smash Bros. Ultimate''===

Though Ganon returns as Ganondorf's Final Smash in ''Super Smash Bros. Ultimate'', this time he is based on his appearance from ''[[zeldawiki:The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time|The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time]]''. He is also called "[[Ganondorf#Ganon, The Demon King|Ganon, The Demon King]]" in this installment, and functions slightly differently from Ganondorf's previous Final Smash. In addition, Ganon appears as a boss in both Classic Mode and in the Adventure Mode: World of Light. For Classic Mode, he is fought as the final boss for Link, [[Young Link]], [[Toon Link]], and Zelda. Sephiroth also fights Ganon in his Classic Mode route as a non-final boss.

==Marx==

[[File:MarxUltimate.png|thumb|Marx]]

Prior to his ''Super Smash Bros. Ultimate'' appearance, his boss battle theme from ''Kirby Super Star'' ("Vs. Marx") appeared in an arranged form in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'' and ''[[Super Smash Bros. for Wii U]]''. It can be played on [[Halberd]]. "Vs. Marx" returns in ''Super Smash Bros. Ultimate'', being a selectable music track for any ''Kirby'' stage, and is featured in Marx's boss battle (except for in the Classic Mode run of Inkling).

Tabuu, the final boss in the Subspace Emissary mode in ''Super Smash Bros. Brawl'', shares a similar moveset to Marx.

==Master Core==

[[File:MasterCore-SSB4.png|thumb|Master Core]]

'''Master Core''' is the final boss of the Classic mode in ''Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS'' and ''Super Smash Bros. for Wii U''.

Once the Swarm is defeated, the black mass disappears, and reveals Master Core's true form, a colorful ball resembling a [[Smash Ball]]. In this state, Master Core is completely vulnerable, though if it is not destroyed within 45 seconds, it rises and starts to attack the player by emitting waves that instantly KO the player if hit before it automatically self-destructs.<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EUaWCiEGpxM Super Smash Bros. for 3DS - Master Core (Intensity 9.0, No Damage)]. Posted to YouTube on September 20, 2014. Retrieved October 20, 2014.</ref>

===Master Giant===

If the intensity of Classic mode is 7.0 (7.5 for the 3DS version) or above, Master Giant is the first form of Master Core. It has a wide variety of attacks, including the ability to physically lift up the stage in an attempt to hurt the player. When it takes enough damage, it loses its head, disabling some of its attacks.

===Master Beast===

[[File:MasterCore-MasterBeastArtwork-SSBWiiU.png|thumb|160px|Master Beast]]

Unlike the Master Giant, the Master Beast stays on-stage for most of its attack duration. It will appear first from intensities 6.0 to 6.9 (6.0 to 7.4 on the 3DS version), otherwise it will follow Master Giant at higher intensities, and not appear at all on lower intensities.

{{br}}

===Master Edges===

If the intensity is set from 5.1 to 5.9 in either of the two versions of the game, Master Edges is the first form of the Master Core that appears. All of the attacks from this form involve swinging the swords at the player.

===Master Shadow===

It should also be noted that in Group mode, Master Shadow will only copy the first player; the second player will never be copied.

{{br}}

===Master Fortress===

This form appears at intensities 8.0 or higher on the Wii U version, but only in Solo mode; this phase gets skipped completely in Group mode. When this appears, the player must trek through the fortress to destroy 4 cores. After destroying 2, the player is automatically ejected and must reenter. Inside the fortress are shadowy foes hoping to impede the player's progress, and danger zones much like the ones in The Great Cave Offensive. The danger zones will automatically KO above 100%.

===Master Core===

In ''Super Smash Bros. for Wii U'', if the player is playing Solo Classic mode at intensity 8.0 or higher, the true Master Core will appear after Master Fortress is defeated.

[[File:Master Hand Flying.png|thumb|200px|Master Hand about to fight a Yellow Mario.]]

In ''Super Smash Bros.'', after a character has defeated every challenger in 1P Game, they are transported to a battlefield known as "[[Final Destination]]", where they battle Master Hand. After defeating him, players revert to their doll state.

===''Super Smash Bros. Melee''===

Master Hand reappears in ''Super Smash Bros. Melee'' as the embodiment of creation. In Classic mode, the battle against Master Hand in this game is nearly identical to that of the original ''Super Smash Bros.''; after defeating all opposition, the player faces Master Hand in Final Destination. If the player clears all stages on the Normal difficulty or higher within 10 minutes without using a continue, Crazy Hand appears once Master Hand has lost half of his HP. Once defeated, Master Hand falls back into the void of Final Destination as the screen fades to white. The player reverts into a trophy, appearing among the trophies of others who have defeated Master Hand.

==Porky==

[[File:SSBB-Porky Art.png|thumb|Porky]]

Though Nintendo of America localised his name as "Pokey" in ''EarthBound'', "Porky" was used in his subsequent appearances in the ''Super Smash Bros.'' series. His Japanese name, 「ポーキー」 (''Pōkī''), can be interpreted as either, but with ''Mother 3''{{'}}s heavier "pig" themes, "Porky" is believed to be the intended name.<ref>[http://earthboundcentral.com/2012/01/pokey-or-porky/ Pokey or Porky?]</ref>

When Lucas walks alone in The Ruined Zoo, a giant statue of Porky appears and begins chasing him through the zoo, attempting to crush him. At the end of the scene, Lucas gets his leg stuck under a root and is about to be hit by the statue, when Ness appears to Lucas's rescue, destroying the statue by using PK Thunder and PK Flash. It reveals Porky inside his spider-like bed machine, and the boys battle him. Ness and Lucas defeat Porky and destroy the machine.

==Porky Statue==

[[File:SSBB-Porky Statue Art.png|thumb|Porky Statue]]

In the Subspace Emissary, Lucas is in [[The Ruined Zoo]], but after he sees the statue, he runs away. Lucas must travel through the zoo avoiding the Porky Statue. However, soon, he trips over, and just when he thinks it is over, [[Ness]] comes and uses his [[PK Thunder]] and [[PK Flash]] to destroy the large statue, but once destroyed, Porky appears and must be fought. On the hardest difficulty, the Porky Statue moves much quicker.

    

Aside from the Subspace Emissary, the Porky Statue also has a trophy, which is unlocked by beating Boss Battles on the Very Hard difficulty as the statue cannot be captured with a Trophy Stand in the Subspace Emissary, given that it is invincible and functions as a stage hazard and not an enemy in the level. It is also seen in the background of the New Pork City stage in ''Super Smash Bros. Brawl'' and ''Super Smash Bros. Ultimate''.

==Rayquaza==

[[File:SSBB-Rayquaza Art.png|thumb|Rayquaza]]

In Subspace Emissary, it suddenly emerges from a lake after hearing Diddy Kong, who had been looking at the nearly destroyed Arwing nearby. It attacks the Arwing with an energy ball and grabs Diddy Kong. Diddy screams for help, so Fox McCloud, who manages to escape the damaged Arwing, leaps from it and breaks Diddy free of Rayquaza's grasp using Fox Illusion. Rayquaza, furious, launches another energy ball at Fox, who deflects it back at Rayquaza with his Reflector, causing it to fall back into the lake.

Rayquaza also appears in ''Super Smash Bros. for Wii U'' and ''Super Smash Bros. Ultimate'' as a hazard on the stage [[Kalos Pokémon League]]. It sometimes appears in the Dragon-type chamber, where it periodically flies from one side of the screen to another, damaging anyone that it comes into contact with. It also appears a trophy in ''Super Smash Bros. for Wii U'' and as a spirit in ''Super Smash Bros. Ultimate''.

[[File:SSBU Tabuu Spirit.png|thumb|Tabuu]]

===''Super Smash Bros. Brawl''===

Tabuu also takes notice of Meta Knight's ship, the Halberd, to use as transportation for his army, and is successfully able to attack and capture the ship. In addition, he learns of the advanced technology on the Isle of Ancients and conquers the island, using the Robots to build weapons such as Subspace Bombs in order to take parts of the world into Subspace, the Master Robot joining him in the process, turning into the Ancient Minister, serving as a deployer for the immensely powerful Subspace Bombs.<ref name="Dojo"></ref>

{{br}}

====The Subspace Emissary====

After suffering a humiliating defeat, Ganondorf and Bowser enter Subspace to seek out Master Hand. Planning to take control of the army, Ganondorf betrays Bowser before approaching Master Hand and bowing before him. Just as Ganondorf prepares to attack Master Hand, Tabuu reveals himself. Ganondorf tries to free Master Hand by attacking Tabuu, but he easily overpowers Ganondorf, turning him into a trophy with a single attack. Ganondorf falls on Master Hand with enough force to sever Tabuu's strings of light, freeing Master Hand. The weakened Master Hand attempts to destroy Tabuu, but Tabuu easily reflects his attack, stunning Master Hand.
