Fighting Polygon Team

The Polygon Team (Dummy Combo, in Japan) was a team of purple polyhedrons in Super Smash Bros. who were modeled on the playable characters in the game. They appear in 1-Player Mode, in the two stages prior to the Master Hand battle, in Race to the Finish and the Fighting Polygon Team [vs.30] battle.

• Donkey Kong looks the most like the normal character out of all of the Polygons. Like Donkey Kong, this one is bigger than the others and has a a masculine frame.
• Captain Falcon, Link, Fox, and Samus have humanoid shaped Polygons. The differences between them are that Samus has a spike for an arm that mimics the arm cannon, The Link polygon has a spike of it's own to mimic a sword, and the Fox Polygon has a tail.
• Mario, Luigi, and Ness all look a lot like elves, making them very hard to tell apart but the Ness Polygon looks like it is wearing shorts and the Luigi one is slightly taller than the Mario one. You have to look at their movesets to really tell for sure.
• Yoshi has a very pointed head and sharp teeth, compared to normal Yoshi who has a large, bulbous snout and whose teeth are not normally visible, making the polygon look much more a real Raptor, and much more threatening, than normal Yoshi.
• Kirby looks a like a short snowman made up of three different sized shapes, with stubby arms and feet.
• Jigglypuff looks like a big, round rock with a spike in the middle of it's forehead, mimicking the hair. This one is often confused with the Kirby Polygon.
• Pikachu looks a lot more like a mouse than normal Pikachu, with wider ears and a spike for a tail instead of a lightning bolt, making the Polygon closely resemble Sandshrew.

Stages

Fighting Polygon Team [vs.30]

Mario about to start the Fighting Polygon Team [vs.30] battle

In the Fighting Polygon Team battle the player must defeat a team of thirty Polygons, fighting three at any one time. They are not fought in any given order, instead all Polygons, including those modelled on characters that haven't yet been unlocked, have an equal chance (1/12) of being the next one to appear. They aren't very aggressive, mainly walking around the platforms without actively seeking to defeat the player. They are also fairly weak, have no B-button attacks, and cannot grab, though they can pick up items. They can usually be defeated in a single blow - however, at higher difficulty levels, Polygons approach the weight and strength of normal opponents.

Race to the Finish

In Race to the Finish they are not enemies to be defeated, as the stage is fully enclosed, but there is a very short time limit on the stage so they try to delay the player enough that they run out of time.

The Polygon Team is considered the predecessor of the Fighting Wire Frames and the Fighting Alloy Team.
