The Boss Galaga appears as an [[item]], and is one of the two items introduced in ''Smash 4'' (the other being the [[Beetle]]) that can potentially [[OHKO]] opponents by sending them up to the upper blast line. When thrown, Boss Galaga will fly to the top of the screen (dealing a small amount of damage to anyone it collides with), then fly in formation as it did in its home series. After such, it will dive down and home in on the targeted player's last known position and fire its tractor beam. If it misses, it will fly offscreen and do nothing, but a character caught by its tractor beam will turn red and be taken to the top of the screen and over the upper [[blast line]] while 8-bit sound effects from the original ''Galaga'' plays: this can be avoided by mashing buttons to escape. The tractor beam can only catch fighters a few moments after being fired; anyone near the beam after that will not be affected.

A Boss Galaga can take damage while it lies on the ground, while being held, as it hovers in mid-air and while it fires its tractor beam: after the first hit it turns blue and purple, and after the second it is destroyed in a flurry of purple pixels. Similarly to the Beetle, it is incredibly difficult to escape from the Boss Galaga's grasp if the victim is at 50% or higher, though it is possible to shake out at low percents. It's possible for a Boss Galaga to remain in place with a captured fighter if a solid ceiling or something similar blocks its path, which gives the victim time to escape or after a while, will cause the Boss Galaga to release them.

The Boss Galaga keeps its function from ''SSB4''. Additionally, when a character gets caught the background of the stage changes into a spacescape reminiscent of the original Galaga game. It always carries the player into a [[Star KO]], except on {{SSB|Mushroom Kingdom}}, [[Mushroom Kingdom II]], [[75m]], [[Hanenbow]], [[Green Hill Zone]], [[Gerudo Valley]], [[Dream Land GB]], [[Unova Pokemon League]], [[Mute City SNES]], [[Balloon Fight]], [[PictoChat 2]], {{SSB4|Mario Circuit}}, [[The Great Cave Offensive]], [[Flat Zone X]], [[Gamer]], [[Wii Fit Studio]], {{b|Duck Hunt|stage}}, [[Wrecking Crew]], [[Pac-Land]], [[Super Mario Maker]], [[Umbra Clock Tower]], [[New Donk City Hall]], and [[Dracula's Castle]], as well as the [[Training (stage)|training stage]]. The Boss Galaga will remain alongside the Star KO'd player in the background as they fly off and disappear. In addition, the Star KO'd opponent will have a sideways tumble animation identical to the Star KOs in the first four ''Smash'' games. Oddly, it cannot be spawned on [[Princess Peach's Castle]], [[Kongo Falls]], [[Green Greens]], [[Onett]], [[WarioWare, Inc.]], [[Frigate Orpheon]], [[Lylat Cruise]], [[New Pork City]], [[Mario Bros.]], [[Prism Tower]], [[Tortimer Island]], [[Coliseum]], [[Town and City]], [[Boxing Ring]], [[Moray Towers]], [[Mementos]], and [[King of Fighters Stadium]].

Boss Galaga also appears as an Advanced-class [[support spirit]].
In [[Adventure Mode: World of Light]], Boss Galaga is presumably one of the countless spirits captured by [[Galeem]] during his takeover of the universe. After Galeem's defeat, [[Dharkon]] takes control of Galeem's spirits, including Boss Galaga. Boss Galaga's spirit is located in the [[Mysterious Dimension]] sub-dungeon of [[The Dark Realm]].
Boss Galaga can be [[summon]]ed using the cores of {{h2|List of spirits (Pikmin series)|Swooping Snitchbug}} and {{h2|List of spirits (Yoshi series)|Bandit}}.
Boss Galaga's Spirit Battle uses an army of [[Tiny]] {{SSBU|Pac-Man}} puppet fighters and is fought on the [[Lylat Cruise]] stage's [[Battlefield form]]. During the battle, Boss Galaga items will appear while the Pac-Man puppet fighters are easily distracted by the items.
