Fox Confronts Rayquaza
Diddy Kong is swinging through the jungle until he comes to a lake. Near the lake's shore, the Arwing that fought the Halberd earlier crashed in that spot. Diddy Kong goes over to investigate, but Rayquaza emerges from the lake. Seeing that Diddy has invaded its territory, it destroys the Arwing and captures him. It seems like the end for Diddy until Fox jumps from the burning Arwing. He performs Fox Illusion and sets Diddy free.

Just when it seems like the Statue will crush Lucas, Ness targets a PK Thunder towards it, which promptly knocks it to the ground. Ness then reveals himself on camera and prepares to fight the Statue. It gets up and takes to the skies, while Ness also jumps up and activates PK Flash. The attack shatters the Statue and reveals Porky Minch himself underneath. Ness wipes the sweat off his forehead and prepares to fight.

Lucas Leaves Ness
Lucas catches up with Ness after they defeat Porky, only to find Wario looking down on them from a cliff. Wario laughs and aims the Dark Cannon at Ness. He fires, but Ness is able to dodge the shot. Wario fires several more times, but Ness dodges every shot. Realizing that Ness is too hard to hit, he sets his sights on Lucas. Ness pushes Lucas out of the way and takes the shot himself. Wario observes Ness' trophy while it rains, cackling madly. Lucas runs away, looking behind himself one more time as he does so. Lucas then bumps into the Pokémon Trainer some time later, who is about to take on a hoard of Primids. He summons Squirtle and prepares to fight them.

Marth unsheathes Falchion and prepares to defend the castle.

The Meta Knight Encounter
Marth makes it to the Subspace Portal and stares at it. While he observes it, he notices a glimmer of light from the corner of his eye. Meta Knight charges in and attacks Marth, but Marth is able to block all his attacks. Meta Knight charges once more, and an epic fencing match then ensues.

Another Waddle Dee walks up and startles Luigi, prompting him to enter the same battle ready pose again. However, King Dedede walks up and strikes Luigi from behind with his hammer, turning him into a trophy with one hit. Dedede dusts off his new trophy, and then prepares to ambush Wario as he drives up the road. As expected, Wario stops his Cargo and nabs Luigi's trophy. However, a huge army of Waddle Dees surrounds him and forces him to drop the trophy. Dedede reclaims it, and he also hijacks Wario's Cargo with his trophies in tow.
