The '''Subspace Army''' is an evil force which haa the main antagonist of the [[Adventure Mode: The Subspace Emissary|Subspace Emissary]] mode in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'' as members, together with much [[enemy|enemies]]. Headed by the [[Ancient Minister]] and under the guidance of [[Tabuu]], its aim is to expand [[Subspace]] using [[Subspace Bombs]] and to pull areas of [[World of Trophies|this world]] into it. Most of the enemies the player faces in the Subspace Emissary are members of the Subspace Army.

*[[Tabuu]] is the true leader of the Subspace Army. He uses [[Master Hand]] (bound by Chains of Light) as a puppet to give orders. Only the Ancient Minister knows about Tabuu.

*[[Ganondorf (SSBB)|Ganondorf]] is the second-in-command of the Army, having technology to override the R.O.B.s' programming and holding dominance over a majority of the forces. He was not loyal to the Master Hand and wanted to usurp his rule over the world.

*[[Bowser (SSBB)|Bowser]] is the army's third-in-command, and only takes orders from Ganondorf and Master Hand himself. In contrast to Ganondorf's more administrative role, Bowser prefers catching [[Smasher (character)|Smashers]], as well as using his personal force of [[Koopa Troopa|Koopa Troopas]] to take on large assignments, such as assaulting King Dedede's castle. He was the only Smasher to be truly loyal to Master Hand, expressing sadness to see him defeated. On the other hand, he dislikes Ganondorf-even moreso when the latter betrayed him.

*The [[Ancient Minister]] has a (reluctant) leadership role, commanding the [[R.O.B. Squad]]. His main task is to deploy [[Subspace Bombs]] around the world. However, he is subject to Ganondorf, Bowser, and Tabuu. After being shot many times by R.O.B.s controlled by Ganondorf, his robe was burned, showing his true identity as [[R.O.B. (SSBB)|R.O.B.]]

*[[Wario (SSBB)| Wario]] is a relatively low-ranking member, and does not seem to control anyone. He only does what he does (which is capturing various Smashers) because he feels like it. He did not care about the orders he received from Ganondorf or Master Hand, preferring to go his own way. He may have also been only a bounty hunter, with no real allegiance to Master Hand.

*Prior to the opening, [[King Dedede (SSBB)|King Dedede]] attacked the [[Halberd]] at the same time Tabuu's forces did, preventing [[Meta Knight (SSBB)|Meta Knight]] from defending the ship. While there is no evidence Dedede worked for the Subspace Army at any time, it's possible he was tricked by them into attacking the Halberd as a diversion.

The Subspace Army consists of a number of enemies, the [[Primid]]s chief among them. These enemies are created from [[Shadow Bugs]], which are dropped from the [[Halberd]]. The Subspace Army also controls the floating [[Isle of Ancients]] and the [[Subspace Gunship]].

The army's weapons, equipment, and troops are almost all stolen or copied. [[Mr. Game & Watch (SSBB)|Mr. Game & Watch]] was used to create [[Shadow Bug]]s, which were then used to create a massive army as well as [[False Character]]s. [[Samus (SSBB)|Samus]]'s Power Suit was apparently stolen, and [[Pikachu (SSBB)|Pikachu]] was used as a power supply. The [[Dark Cannon]] is the most powerful handheld weapon used by the Army, and these were distributed among its Smasher leaders.

The following were deployed in areas where they could do maximum damage, and were used in cases where Primids would not be enough.

 

*[[Petey Piranha]]

*[[Rayquaza]]

*[[Ridley]]/[[Meta Ridley]]

*[[Galleom]]

*[[Duon]]

*[[Porky Minch]]/[[Porky Statue]]

*[[Spaceshifting Wormhole]]s
