Tabuu first turns his attention towards {{SSBB|Master Hand}}, the master of the world. Tabuu captures Master Hand with Chains of Light and pulls him into Subspace, giving him an effective puppet to command his future army in the real world. Next, he comes upon {{SSBB|Mr. Game & Watch}}, who, as a two-dimensional being in a three-dimensional world, has unusual properties that make it possible to create a limitless amount of [[Shadow Bug]]s. Tabuu captures Mr. Game & Watch in order to produce the Shadow Bugs, with which he creates the [[Subspace Army]]. Mr. Game & Watch is claimed to be unaware he is being used to create the army. | Tabuu first turns his attention towards {{SSBB|Master Hand}}, the master of the world.

With the Army formed, Tabuu turns towards the [[Isle of Ancients]], a floating island of advanced technology. The isle is inhabited by a society of peaceful [[R.O.B. Squad|R.O.B.s]] led by a single [[R.O.B. (SSBB)|Master Robot]] that have never before interacted with other races. Tabuu needs the island's technology to produce weapons capable of cutting the world apart, so he uses his new army to take the entire island hostage, and force research on such weapons. The Master Robot reluctantly surrenders and allows this to occur, in order to avoid the presumably threatened genocide should they refuse, though he disguises himself as the [[Ancient Minister]] out of shame for allowing it to happen. Tabuu then captures {{SSBB|Pikachu}}, intending to use its powers of electricity as a power supply for the isle. | With the Army formed, Tabuu turns towards the [[Isle of the Ancients]], a floating island of advanced technology.

With the Isle of Ancients under his command, Tabuu attacks the [[Halberd]], seeking a transport ship for his army. {{SSBB|Meta Knight}} attempts to stave off the attack on his ship, but he is preoccupied with {{SSBB|King Dedede}}, who decided to attack at a similar time. Meta Knight loses the battle and vanishes, but Dedede learns of Tabuu and his most devastating attack - the Off Waves, which can reduce many Fighters to trophies in a single long-range attack. Dedede realizes that Tabuu is capable of turning all of the Fighters into trophies at once, rendering no one able to revive anyone, and leaving no one to stop Tabuu's plans. With this in mind, he begins work on [[Dedede Brooch|an item]] that can revive a trophy on a timer, without needing a helper's contact, which should make it possible to resist the Army even if everyone is defeated. | With the Isle of the Ancients under his command, Tabuu attacks the [[Halberd]], seeking a transport ship for his army. {{SSBB|Meta Knight}} attempts to stave off the attack on his ship, but he is preoccupied with {{SSBB|King Dedede}}, who decided to attack at a similar time.

Finally, Tabuu sets out to recruit specific fighters to his cause, using Master Hand as a cover. He focuses his efforts on those who naturally dislike the others, giving him three accomplices willing to help "Master Hand's plan": {{SSBB|Bowser}}, {{SSBB|Wario}}, and {{SSBB|Ganondorf}}. Their objective is to locate and suppress any resistance to the detonation of [[Subspace Bomb]]s, the weapon developed by the Isle of Ancients to send pieces of the world into Subspace. To help, the three of them are provided with [[Dark Cannon]]s: a second newly created weapon, which allows the user to turn any fighter into a trophy in a single shot. The three accomplices split up to operate in their own ways. Ganondorf remains hidden in an undisclosed location, acting as a liaison with Master Hand, as well as his second-in-command for the army as a whole; while he claims to be loyal to Master Hand, he is simply waiting for the right time to overthrow him and take command of the army himself. Bowser assembles his [[Koopa Troop]] and begins to wander the world in search of opponents; he is relatively loyal to Master Hand, but does not care for Ganondorf asserting rank over him. Wario, on the other hand, sets off on his own and continues to do whatever he wants, treating his objective as a low priority and not caring at all about the plan or his role in it. However, Wario uses his Dark Cannon to turn others into trophies, but keeps them for himself. | Finally, Tabuu sets out to recruit specific fighters to his cause, using Master Hand as a cover.

An ominous howling noise fills the stadium as the sky is filled with red clouds. The Halberd arrives and drops Shadow Bugs into the stadium, which form into Subspace Army troops. Peach and Zelda join Mario and Kirby as they fight off the invaders. Shortly afterwards, the Ancient Minister appears, dropping a Subspace Bomb that is prepped with two R.O.B.s and set for detonation in three minutes; the Ancient Minister quickly retreats to the Halberd as it begins to depart.

Shortly afterwards, the Ancient Minister appears, dropping a Subspace Bomb that is prepped with two R.O.B.s and set for detonation in three minutes; the Ancient Minister quickly retreats to the Halberd as it begins to depart. As Mario dashes to investigate the bomb, a mysterious smoke cloud appears and a cannonball is fired from it that propels Mario out of the stadium far into the sky. In the chaos, Peach and Zelda are thrown into individual cages, which are held by [[Petey Piranha]]. Only Kirby is left to fight Petey. | ||
Upon breaking one of the cages, Petey explodes in defeat, as Kirby and the princess he freed (Peach/Zelda) jump away. Wario makes an entrance, leaping in from nowhere with his Dark Cannon pointed at Kirby and Peach/Zelda. He prepares to fire, but notices that the other cage has broken and Zelda/Peach is lying outside it, in no condition to evade. Wario turns his Dark Cannon to the easier target and fires, turning Zelda/Peach into a trophy; he quickly grabs the trophy and leaps away. Kirby and Peach/Zelda begin chasing him, but Kirby notices that the Subspace Bomb is about to explode, and summons a [[Warp Star]] for the pair to escape on | Upon breaking one of the cages, Petey explodes in defeat, as Kirby and the princess he freed (Peach/Zelda) jump away.

Pit | Back in Skyworld, Pit witnesses the Subspace Bomb's detonation. He turns away to find [[Palutena]], who provides him with a [[Palutena's Arrow|bow]] and commands him to save the world from the Subspace Army. Pit leaps outside and into the clouds to begin his task. He finds the Halberd quickly; it passes through Skyworld and drops a group of Shadow Bugs that become opponents for him to fight. After some travelling, Pit comes upon Mario. After Pit revives him, Mario teams up with Pit to try and chase down the Halberd, but the pair run out of terrain to traverse, leaving them unable to continue chase. However, an [[Arwing]] flies by, which also appears to be pursuing the Halberd. | ||
Kirby and Peach/Zelda also appear to be following the Halberd, though it somehow ends up behind them. Kirby attempts to land on the Halberd's deck, which is more or less successful. Immediately the Arwing catches up, and attempts to fight the Halberd, but the Combo Cannon's arm scores a hit on the Arwing. As it comes crashing down, it flies past the pair, who are then blown off the Halberd. Landing in the [[Sea of Clouds]], the two climb down onto solid ground, fighting the Army throughout, and attempt to pursue the ship on foot. | Kirby and Peach/Zelda also appear to be following the Halberd, though it somehow ends up behind them.
