Revision as of 02:12, 20 June 2012
Shadow Bugs are the small, glowing, violet spheres of which the members of the Subspace Army are made. They are apparently embodiments of a primordial substance. Shadow Bugs were created by extracting a mysterious substance from Mr. Game & Watch, leading Tabuu to have him captured to become the source of the Subspace Army's soldiers. It's hypothesized that Shadow Bugs create the props that Mr. Game & Watch uses in all his attacks, unlike other characters who seem to pull objects from hammerspace.
They first appeared in a Super Smash Bros. DOJO!! update called "This World", which introduced the main plot of the Subspace Emissary. They were shown being dropped down from the Halberd, as well as surrounding a single Primid.
False Character
Shadow Bowser disintegrates into Shadow Bugs
Shadow Bugs are capable of copying a character's trophy and assuming his/her appearance, but are also capable of altering certain qualities such as size, as seen in the fight with the giant Diddy Kong. A copy of a character created by Shadow Bugs will have a purple tinge, be surrounded by a smoky shadow aura, and possess glowing yellow eyes. Bowser himself had a platoon of Shadow Bugs which he ordered to serve as a clone of himself, both to act as a decoy and a second-in-command. Throughout the Subspace Emissary Bowser's Shadow Bugs took on the forms of Peach and Zelda, (whichever princess wasn't rescued) Diddy Kong, Samus, Mr. Game & Watch, and Bowser himself.
Trophy description
Embodiments of a primordial substance that can take the form of any number of lesser Subspace foes. They can also copy the forms of trophies to create evil doppelganger versions of them. The mysterious substance inside Mr. Game & Watch can be extracted endlessly. Once Tabuu discovered this, he used Mr. Game & Watch to create the Subspace Army.
