Bytans (バイタン, Bitan) are enemies in Super Smash Bros. Brawl's Subspace Emissary mode. They first appear in The Ruined Zoo.

Description[edit]

Bytans are spherical, limbless enemies. Their body is divided in two sides, making them resemble a Poké Ball. A large, red eye with a darker pupil appears on their coloured half, and a gaping smile is on the bottom half.

In Super Smash Bros. Brawl[edit]

As enemies[edit]

Bytans first appear in the Ruined Zoo level. They can duplicate themselves within seconds by shooting their copies from their eyes, forcing the player to destroy them quickly before things get out of hand; they attack more on lower difficulties while multiplying faster on higher ones. Bytans come in nine different colors: red, orange, yellow, green, blue, purple, pink, brown, and black. They often appear in ambushes, so that they can reproduce more and make it harder for the player to defeat them. They attack with a charging headbutt, and their attacks are telegraphed by them rolling.

There are also giant-sized Bytans, which are about four times larger and have roughly three times more health. Giant Bytans are far less likely to multiply than their smaller kin are.

Trophy[edit]

Bytan
A spherical creature divided into two colors. There's a big, staring eye in the colored section, and the white part contains the creature's gaping mouth and exposed fangs. It rolls along and smashes into all enemies it meets. After a short time, it will pop another Bytan out of its eye, so if you leave it alone, it will continue to produce one Bytan after another.
Wii: Super Smash Bros. Brawl

In Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS[edit]

Although they do not appear as enemies in Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS, Bytans do make an appearance in that game as a trophy.
