Final stage (World of Light): Difference between revisions

The unnamed '''final stage''' of [[World of Light]], located at the end of the area {{b|The Final Battle|World of Light}}, is the last challenge in the mode, in which the [[boss]]es [[Galeem]] and [[Dharkon]] are fought to earn the true ending. This [[stage]] differs mechanically from all other sections of the mode, being neither a [[spirit]] battle nor wholly a boss battle.

After entering the stage, the player will be given the choice of three characters to bring, akin to [[Squad Strike]]. The final stage is split up into three sections, with the song ''{{SSBUMusicLink|Super Smash Bros.|Galeem / Dharkon}}'' playing during each phase. At the start of each phase, the music restarts and all missing stock are reset. Additionally, the player can start over from the beginning of any given phase should they lose all of their stock.

Like the rematches against Galeem and Dharkon individually, this fight can be repeated indefinitely by re-entering the World of Light save file.

The active fighter is transported to Final Destination, with the background evenly split with a dark section on the left and a light section on the right. Orbs containing the images of the various [[boss]]es appear and begin fighting with each other. Attacking an orb will start a battle with that boss, with their music replaced by that of Galeem and Dharkon. However leaving the orbs alone for too long will cause them to shoot smaller orbs that will damage the fighter. The boss orbs appear in a set order and start out fighting a set boss orb from the other faction, though defeating bosses will cause their respective orb to disappear and thus change who a given orb may be fighting.

After defeating a given boss, the other faction's motif will dominate the background, appearing as entirely either light of darkness if all bosses of Dharkon or Galeem, respectively, are defeated first. After every two fights, a [[Heart Container]] will spawn and stay on the stage until the end of the phase, even if further Heart Containers spawn. After defeating all six bosses, the fighter is teleported back to the stage for a brief moment before the phase ends.

As the third phase begins, a short scene plays of Galeem and Dharkon fighting, before zooming out to the stage as the battle begins. The bosses are fought on the same Final Destination-like stage as their solo fights, but with a background containing a light half and a dark half. A unique aspect of this phase is that Galeem and Dharkon can damage each other during the fight. In fact, they primarily fight each other with the player only being an incidental part of the battle until one is defeated. When either of the two is stunned, the other will use a very powerful attack against them, provided they are not in the middle of certain attacks.

After the remaining boss is defeated, the battle ends and the true ending cutscene ''Restoration'' plays, the mode now completed.
