The '''Devil''' ({{ja|デビル|Debiru}}, ''Devil'') (called '''Demon''' on the British version of the [[Smash Bros. DOJO!!]]) is the main antagonist of the NES game ''{{s|wikipedia|Devil World}}'', developed by [[Shigeru Miyamoto]], which was released for the Japanese Famicom and [[PAL]] NES systems only.

==Origin==
[[File:Devil World Devil pointing.png|thumb|left|Devil moving the walls in ''Devil World''.]]
The Devil makes his debut as the main antagonist and main hazard in ''{{s|wikipedia|Devil World}}''. He is based on the {{iw|wikipedia|Devil}}, who appears in several religions as the personification of evil. In the game, he tries to thwart the efforts of the heroic dragon [[Tamagon]] to destroy him and seal Devil World away for eternity. He appears in every non-bonus level at the top of the screen, pointing in various directions in order to make the walls of the current game area shift around the level, thus limiting the player's movement to a small window of the full maze. When a stage is cleared, the Devil recoils, turns into a bat and flies away.

==In ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]''==
The Devil was mentioned in the description of the Tamagon trophy as "a large, winged demon". This trophy was only available legitimately in the Japanese version of ''Melee''.

==In ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]''==
===As an [[Assist Trophy]]===
[[File:DevilSSBB.jpg|thumb|left|The Devil in ''Brawl''.]]
When the Devil is summoned, he  appears as a bat, flies to the top of the screen and turns into his humanoid form. He then starts pointing in various directions, accompanied by an 8-bit sound from his source game. This causes the screen to scroll in the opposite direction, effectively altering the offscreen boundaries of the stage. The effect is great enough that it can leave just a small section of a stage, e.g. {{SSBB|Battlefield}}, remaining. When playing on the [[Pirate Ship]] stage, it is also possible for the entire stage to be moved offscreen. This also allows for more camera control freedom when the game is paused. After a short while, the Devil disappears in a puff of smoke and the screen turns back to normal.

The Devil has a spawn chance of {{Fractions|30|760}}.

===Trophy===
The [[NTSC]] version of ''Brawl'' lists the game as "Japan Only" in error. The PAL version corrects this.
{{Trophy

|desc=A devil who wields serious power in Devil World. In the game, the devil floats above the maze and commands by pointing. When it gives orders, its cyclopean minions turn cranks that scroll the maze in different directions. When Tamagon, your character in the game, places all the stage's books into a hole, the devil turns into a bat and flies away. It's quite striking, no?

==In ''[[Super Smash Bros. 4]]''==
===As an Assist Trophy===
[[File:DevilSSB4.jpg|thumb|left|The Devil in ''Smash 4''.]]
The Devil reprises his behavior from ''Brawl''.

The Devil has a spawn chance of {{Fractions|30|1254}}. He cannot be summoned on the following stages in a standard versus match (applies to both games and only the base form unless noted otherwise):

===Trophy===
The Devil trophy appears in both versions. In {{forwiiu}} it is part of the ''NES'' {{h1|Trophy Box|NES}}.
{{Trophy
|name=Devil
|image-3ds=DevilTrophy3DS.png
|image-wiiu=DevilTrophyWiiU.png
|desc-ntsc=A devil who holds absolute authority in Devil World. When he appears, he'll fly into the sky as a bat and then transform into his devil form. He'll then begin to point frantically in different directions, scrolling the stage where he points. You're...not really helping things, buddy.
|desc-pal=A devil who appears to hold absolute power in Devil World. In bat form, it flies to its perch, then turns back into a devil and begins waving frantic orders to make the screen scroll all different ways. Considering that it's an Assist Trophy, it's not doing much in the way of assisting.

==In ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]''==
===As an Assist Trophy===
[[File:DevilSSBU.png|thumb|left|The Devil in ''Ultimate''.]]
The Devil appears as an Assist Trophy and reprises his behavior from ''Brawl'' and ''Super Smash Bros. 4''. [[Training Mode]] describes his Assist Trophy with the following: ''Moves the stage in whichever direction he points. Can't be KO'd.'' 

The Devil cannot be summoned in [[Custom Smash]] if the camera is set to "fixed". Summoning him in Training Mode under this setting will override the fixed camera, and will not return it to normal again when he disappears. 

The Devil has a spawn chance of {{Fractions|30|2086}}. He cannot be summoned on the following stages in a standard versus match (applies only to the base form unless noted otherwise):

===Spirit===
The Devil also appears as an Advanced-class [[support spirit]].

In [[Adventure Mode: World of Light]], the Devil is presumably one of the countless spirits captured by [[Galeem]] during his takeover of the universe. The Devil's spirit is located in the 8-bit maze section of [[The Light Realm]].

The Devil uses a {{SSBU|Ridley}} puppet fighter and is fought on the [[75m]] stage's [[Battlefield form]]. Ridley is fought along with two {{SSBU|Kirby}} puppet fighters representing the Medaman. During the battle, the Devil appears as a hostile Assist Trophy.

==Trivia==
*In ''for Wii U'', if the Devil is summoned during [[Camera|fixed camera mode]], the stage won't be moved. If the player switches between Fixed and Normal camera in [[Training mode]] at the right timing, the camera will be more zoomed in than normal<ref>[https://youtu.be/xYUaFVLT7To]</ref>, even more-so if Zoom is switched to first. In the 3DS version, the camera-toggle in Training mode is disabled when Devil is summoned, and in ''Ultimate'' the camera turns normal when summoning Devil during fixed-camera in Training mode.
*Devil cannot be summoned in 63 (69 including DLC) stages in ''Super Smash Bros. Ultimate'', making him the most limited Assist Trophy in ''Ultimate''.
*When the Devil moves the stage, there are 2 distinct sound effects depending on whether he moves the stage horizontally or vertically. This is also the case in ''Devil World''. However, in ''Devil World'', the maze also has 2 different movement patterns, which are indicated by the sound effects, but ''Smash'' only uses the horizontal movement pattern.
