Role in World of Light
Mewtwo was among the fighters that were summoned to fight the army of Master Hands.
Mewtwo was present when Galeem unleashed its beams of light. Mewtwo and Zelda attempted to reflect the beams using Confusion and Nayru's Love respectively; this effort failed, with both being vaporized and transformed into spirits, along with the rest of the fighters (excluding Kirby).
