The Yellow Devil appears in both versions of [[Wily Castle]]. It attacks players by shooting lasers out of its eye and splitting into sections and moving to the other side of the stage, mimicking its behavior in the original game. It can be damaged by attacking its eye, and once defeated, it causes a large damaging explosion, similar to the one of the [[Smart Bomb]]. The player who lands the killing blow on the Yellow Devil is not harmed by the explosion, and any [[KO]]s caused by it will count as their attack.

The Yellow Devil appears as a random event: bumping into it will initiate a battle against it in Wily Castle. If not defeated in time it transports to another spot in the map, but it retains any prior damage.

The Yellow Devil originally appeared in ''[[wikipedia:Mega Man (video game)|Mega Man]]'', where it served as the stage boss for the first stage of that game's Wily Fortress. It used attack patterns similar to its appearance in ''Smash 4'', splitting into multiple parts and moving across to the other side of the stage. The Yellow Devil is notably a hard boss in the ''Mega Man'' series since the parts of its split is hard to dodge and predict, and that it will repeatedly split again after opening its eye (its weak point) to fire a beam at the player. The Yellow Devil's weakness was the Thunder Beam, which was obtained by defeating [[Elec Man]].
