==In [[Super Smash Bros. 4]]==

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.

:'''NA:''' ''This massive baddy splits itself into small pieces and flies across the battlefield, striking anyone in the way. Deal damage to it by attacking the eye, or hide behind its body to avoid your foes. Be careful— whoever deals the final blow triggers an enemy-launching explosion!''

:'''PAL:''' ''This towering foe splits himself into small bits to move across the stage and wreak havoc. If you can get behind him, you can use him as a shield and also hit his eye more easily. Hit his eye enough and he'll explode! Try to get your opponents caught in the explosion to do some real damage!''

==Origin==

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's weakness was the Thunder Beam, which was obtained by defeating [[Elec Man]].

* When ''Mega Man'' was originally released in North America and Europe, the Yellow Devil's name was changed to "Rock Monster" in due to a policy Nintendo had against religious references in NES games at the time. This was reversed in the MegaDrive remake ''Mega Man: The Wily Wars'' where its name was reverted back to its original Japanese name, where it has been retained ever since.

* Yellow Devil is the first third-party boss and villain to appear in a ''Smash Bros.'' game (not counting cameos from trophies, stickers, etc.)
