Tabuu: Difference between revisions

Tabuu is the true embodiment, the creator and ruler of [[Subspace]], a separate dimension described as a “vastly foreign kingdom”. His plan is to cut the [[World of Trophies]] into pieces and take it to the Subspace to create a new dominion. It is unknown how many worlds he conquered before the main plot, but he is strongly determined to extend his empire to dominate the universe. He has been watching and studying the World of Trophies for a long time, planning for a conquest. However, he himself cannot leave Subspace, so he created the Subspace Army to act in his stead.   

Later in the story, after the heroes destroy the [[Subspace Gunship]] and enter Subspace, Ganondorf betrays Bowser by using a [[Dark Cannon]]. Ganondorf then goes to greet [[Master Hand]], the symbol of creative power. Ganondorf then realizes that Tabuu was actually controlling Master Hand with its Chain of Light, and that he was not actually following Master Hand's orders but was being tricked by Tabuu. Enraged, he charges a futile attack at Tabuu who effortlessly knocks him back. Ganondorf's body hits the puppeteered Master Hand, thus breaking him free of his chains of light (and turning Ganondorf into a [[trophy]] in the process). Master Hand also charges at Tabuu, but to no avail. With Master Hand lying motionless on the ground, Tabuu uses his [[Off Waves]] to instantly turn everyone into a trophy.

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 {{SSBB|King Dedede}} himself after Ness realised that it was thanks to him that they were restored. King Dedede joins their team and they rescue everyone else by collecting their trophies in [[Subspace (Part I)|Subspace (Part I)]], including Bowser, who had a fight with Dedede, and joined the team because Tabuu is so powerful, and he killed Master Hand. Around the same time, {{SSBB|Kirby}} was revived by the brooch the captured princess had when he swallowed it and went out to save the rest of the fighters in [[Subspace (Part II)|Subspace Part II]], between the characters, there are Wario, and {{SSBB|Link}} and {{SSBB|Zelda}}, who revive Ganondorf, and suggest him to join them, he accepts, because he can not do anything to Tabuu, Wario does the same, because King Dedede, Luigi and Ness pointed him where are going everyone, so all the characters enter to the adventure. Tabuu then creates [[Great Maze|a maze]] out of the worlds that have been consumed by Subspace and brings back the old enemies, including all the seven [[boss]]es. He also creates [[False character|dark clones]] of all of the heroes to slow them down. Once the player reaches Tabuu, he attempts to turn everyone back into trophies again, but is ambushed by [[Sonic (SSBB)|Sonic the Hedgehog]], who shatters his wings with a [[Spin Dash]] 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 Smasher 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, until he is defeated. After his defeat, the Subspace Army is gone, lands are restored, and the Isle of the Ancients disappears afterward 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 Isle to escape Subspace. A glowing X is left behind.

Tabuu's true fate is unknown - he is last seen contorting in pain shortly before the Great Maze was restored to its original places and forms - though it is likely he was destroyed.
