Tabuu is the main antagonist of Adventure Mode: The Subspace Emissary in Super Smash Bros. Brawl. Here, Mario and the other fighters had to team up against Tabuu to stop him from taking over the World of Trophies. Tabuu also appears as a spirit in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate.

Tabuu's appearance seems to be somewhat of a human body, with aura or energy flowing through him. Tabuu is very powerful, and he can cause an instant K.O. depending on his attack.

The Subspace Emissary[]

After suffering a humiliating defeat, Ganondorf and Bowser enter Subspace to seek out Master Hand. Planning to take control of the army, Ganondorf betrays Bowser before approaching Master Hand and bowing before him. Just as Ganondorf prepares to attack Master Hand, Tabuu reveals himself. Ganondorf tries to free Master Hand by attacking Tabuu, but he easily overpowers Ganondorf, turning him into a trophy with a single attack. Ganondorf falls on Master Hand with enough force to sever Tabuu's strings of light, freeing Master Hand. The weakened Master Hand attempts to destroy Tabuu, but Tabuu easily reflects his attack, stunning Master Hand.


The heroes later arrive and confront Tabuu, who spreads his wings and releases his ultimate attack, the Off Waves, instantly transforming every fighter to their trophy form. He then puts the pieces of the world taken from the World of Trophies to create The Great Maze. However, Luigi, King Dedede, and Ness return back to their original states thanks to the brooches Dedede had invented. The three travel to Subspace and return the heroes to their original forms.

After making their way through the Great Maze, the heroes arrive at Tabuu's lair for the final showdown. Tabuu prepares to use his Off Waves again, but Sonic the Hedgehog appears and attacks Tabuu, shattering his wings and preventing him from transforming the group into trophies. The heroes then face Tabuu in the final battle. After he is defeated, all the pieces of the world taken into subspace and all the characters are returned to their proper locations.

Trivia[]

  • Tabuu's moves are somewhat like Marx's from the Kirby series.
  • There is a glitch that occurs when you defeat him in his gigantic form, Tabuu comes to the center of the stage and disappears but with the red eyes from the lasers.
  • Tabuu's difficulty increases when playing co-op mode.
  • Tabuu's wings are completely destroyed by Sonic during the cut-scene, but somehow he manages to get them back.
