However, thanks to the [[Dedede Brooch]]es, two trophies who had been left behind - {{SSBB|Luigi}} and {{SSBB|Ness}} - were later revived and they proceed to revive Dedede himself after Ness realized that it was thanks to him that they were restored. Dedede joins their team and they [[Subspace (Part I)|rescue everyone]], including Bowser, who had a fight with Dedede and soon joined the team when he learned about Master Hand's defeat. Around the same time, {{SSBB|Kirby}} was revived by the brooch the captured princess had when he swallowed it and [[Subspace (Part II)|went out on his own to save the rest of the fighters]], between the characters, there are Wario and {{SSBB|Link}} and {{SSBB|Zelda}}, the latter of which revive Ganondorf and suggest him to join them, which he begrudgingly agrees, Wario does as well and all the characters enter to the maze and battling the remainder of Tabuu's forces that reside within it. Upon reaching Tabuu, he attempts to turn everyone back into trophies again, but is ambushed by {{SSBB|Sonic}}, who destroys his wings before he can do so. As a result, Tabuu's Off Waves are weakened, becoming "only" a [[one-hit KO]] attack instead of causing immediate trophification for any fighter in reach.

A selection of characters from Sonic, Bowser, Kirby, Luigi's group and those revived by these two groups (first: Luigi, Ness and King Dedede; second: Kirby), then fight Tabuu. After his defeat, the Subspace Army is gone, the areas consumed by Subspace are restored and the Isle of the Ancients disappears afterwards because of the effect of so many Subspace Bombs going off at once (commanded by Ganondorf so Tabuu could get a Subspace Gunship into the world) making it impossible for the island to escape Subspace. A luminous cross is left in its place.

Tabuu is last seen contorting in pain shortly before the Great Maze was restored to its original places and forms. The events of World of Light suggest he survived.

*'''Tabuu Fire''' ({{ja|タブーファイヤー|Tabū Faiyā}}) - From one side of the stage, Tabuu makes a pointing gesture. Five locations along a line leading to the player's current location will flash once and explode after about two seconds, creating huge fiery bursts in a very brief time (less than half a second for the whole sequence). The line is not straight and varies in height, also the explosions last for around a second. This move can easily be avoided by noting and staying away from the flashes, or crouching if the pointing line is high. Can also be shielded with perfect timing. It is an OHKO on Intense and deals up to 60%. Since its knockback is perfectly horizontal or a semi-spike, poor recovery characters are very likely to be KOed even on the lower difficulties. This attack is very predictable, but its speed and extremely large hitbox can make it difficult to avoid in time, considering that it covers the entire length of {{h2|The Great Maze|Tabuu's Residence}} and the bursts will always hit at different heights.

*'''Clone Attack''' ({{ja|分身攻撃|Bunshin Kōgeki}}) - Tabuu splits his body in half and shoots out many ghost images of himself in all directions, which burst after achieving a certain distance. The player can dodge the projections, but take note that they explode upon making contact with the ground, so combatants can still receive damage while sidestepping the projection itself (although severely reducing their knockback and damage). They can also be destroyed, preferably by projectiles. The number of projections is not constant, although it tends to increase with the difficulty and is usually set between ten and seventeen. Clones' knockback also varies, and can be either angled, vertical, spiked or horizontal; if perfectly horizontal or semi-spiked, it drastically increases the chances of a KO or even an OHKO for poor recovery characters. The distance they cover can also vary, slightly increasing with difficulty: on Easy, they cover more than half the length of Tabuu's Residence, while on Intense they almost cover the entire stage. Notice that each projection has a different direction, seemingly not always related to the player's position, and that Tabuu can shoot a maximum of two clones at the same time (up to four clones in a second on Intense). When the clones' explode touching the ground, their burst has a little hitbox and is much less dangerous than contact with the projection itself; however, it can still deal up to 24% damage and KO below 40% on Intense. Tabuu can be attacked with projectiles while performing this move, but not touched: contact with his sparkling body during the attack deals the same massive knockback of the initial explosion. This move is considered one of Tabuu's most dangerous attacks, and its swift, unpredictable beginning forces the player to pay attention before attacking Tabuu. A [[glitch]] can occur in the Subspace Emissary if Tabuu is hit by a [[Green Shell]] while performing this attack. The Shell will remain stuck into Tabuu's body, which completely nullifies and blocks the move, instantly destroying every projection he shoots until the attack ends (regardless of clones' direction). This allows the player to stay still without taking any damage or knockback by the attack, preventing its ludicrous damage and very high KO power. An interesting fact of this glitch is that the Green Shell doesn't get destroyed, but remains freezed for some seconds, until Tabuu uses Teleport and vanishes.

*In ''Super Smash Bros. 4'', if the final transformation of [[Master Core]] isn't defeated after 45 seconds, it will shake rapidly and rise to the center of the screen, then flash the same symbol from Tabuu's Off Waves, and unleash five shock waves. This attack will similarly one-hit KO the player, but only on 8.0 or higher difficulty.

*In the Mysterious Dimension of [[World of Light]], Tabuu's spirit guards Marx's boss fight. This may reference how Marx and Tabuu share several attacks, such as their tendency to rapidly teleport and fire laser beams.

*Tabuu seemingly possesses two attacks which are not used during the final battle. In the cutscenes, it is seen using a powerful azure shield to defeat [[Master Hand]], and even without the wings he unleashes a rainbow circling wave (potentially similar to an Off Wave) that turns {{SSBB|Ganondorf}} into a [[trophy]]. Tabuu also uses multiple Chains of Light to subjugate Master Hand, and his Off Waves are much stronger while the wings are intact.
