The '''Subspace Army''' is an evil organization made of formless beings in the [[''Subspace Emissary'']] of ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]''. They are the main antagonists, lead be the mysterious character, the [[Ancient Minister]]. The Subspace Army's main troops are a group of small robots, known as the [[Primid]]. Thier goal is to pull the entire world into [[Subspace (SSB)|Subspace]], thus, destroying it. They do this by using the powerful and deadly weapon, the [[Subspace Bomb]].
The '''Subspace Army''' ({{ja|亜空軍|Akūgun}} ''Subspace Army'') is the antagonistic force of the [[Subspace Emissary]] mode in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]''. Headed by the [[Ancient Minister]] and under the guidance of [[Tabuu]], its aim is to expand [[Subspace]] using [[Subspace Bombs]] and to transport areas of the [[World of Trophies]] into it. Most of the enemies the player faces in the Subspace Emissary are members of the Subspace Army.


[[Petey Piranha]], [[Hammer Bro.|Hammer Bros.]], [[Koopa]]s, [[Goomba]]s, and [[Bullet Bill]]s may be members, but this is unconfirmed, and seems unlikely, as the official website stated that they were minions of Bowser, suggesting that they still work for their master and not the Ancient Minister.
Some members of the Subspace Army, such as [[Poppant]]s and [[Mite]]s, appear as enemies in the [[Smash Run]] mode of {{for3ds}}, with most also having corresponding trophies. However, they do not have any specific plot-related roles in the game. Some members of the Subspace Emissary such as Tabuu, [[Primid]]s, Mites, [[Duon]], and the [[Ancient Minister]] appear as [[spirit]]s in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]''. In addition, [[Galleom]] returns as a [[boss]].

The Subspace Army consists of a number of enemies, the [[Primid]]s chief among them. These enemies are created from [[Shadow Bug]]s, which are dropped from the [[Halberd]]. The Subspace Army also controls the floating [[Isle of the Ancients]] and the [[Subspace Gunship]].
 
The army's weaponry, equipment and troops are almost all stolen or copied. {{SSBB|Mr. Game & Watch}} was used to create Shadow Bugs, which were then used to create the army's forces as well as [[false character]]s. {{SSBB|Samus}}'s Power Suit was apparently stolen and {{SSBB|Pikachu}} was used to power a generator on the Isle of the Ancients. The [[Dark Cannon]] is the most powerful handheld weapon used by the army and these were distributed among its fighter accomplices.

The Subspace Army's emblem, which appears on most of their soldiers and structures.

The Subspace Army (亜空軍 Subspace Army) is the antagonistic force of the Subspace Emissary mode in Super Smash Bros. Brawl. Headed by the Ancient Minister and under the guidance of Tabuu, its aim is to expand Subspace using Subspace Bombs and to transport areas of the World of Trophies into it. Most of the enemies the player faces in the Subspace Emissary are members of the Subspace Army.

Some members of the Subspace Army, such as Poppants and Mites, appear as enemies in the Smash Run mode of Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS, with most also having corresponding trophies. However, they do not have any specific plot-related roles in the game. Some members of the Subspace Emissary such as Tabuu, Primids, Mites, Duon, and the Ancient Minister appear as spirits in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate. In addition, Galleom returns as a boss.

Forces[edit]

The Subspace Gunship

The Subspace Army consists of a number of enemies, the Primids 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 the Ancients and the Subspace Gunship.

The army's weaponry, equipment and troops are almost all stolen or copied. Mr. Game & Watch was used to create Shadow Bugs, which were then used to create the army's forces as well as false characters. Samus's Power Suit was apparently stolen and Pikachu was used to power a generator on the Isle of the Ancients. The Dark Cannon is the most powerful handheld weapon used by the army and these were distributed among its fighter accomplices.

Major members[edit]

The following were deployed in areas where they could do maximum damage and were used in cases where the army's standard troops would not be enough.

Primids[edit]

Primids being formed from Shadow Bugs.

Primids are the Subspace Army's standard troops formed from clumps of Shadow Bugs. Their modest strength is made up for by large numbers. Specialization is also present, as there are:

R.O.B. Squad[edit]

In addition to being in charge of detonating the Subspace Bombs, multiple types of R.O.B. defend the Isle of the Ancients:

Koopa Troop[edit]

Bowser commands a group of creatures from his own universe, composed of:

Other Forces[edit]

Other enemies found throughout the game, listed in order of the first level they appear, include:
