:''Not to be confused with the top Luigi and Mario player in Brawl, [[Smasher:Boss]]''
-
'''Bosses''' are characters in the ''Super Smash Bros.'' series that appear when certain conditions are met. These conditions range from simply clearing stages with a certain difficulty and time, to playing certain [[Event Mode|Event Modes]].
+
'''Bosses''' are [[BUTT|BUTTS]]
-
-
There are multiple battles in the ''Smash Bros.'' series that could be considered boss battles; however, actual bosses are usually unplayable by normal means, and most are much larger than the playable characters.
-
-
All of the bosses are beaten by depleting their [[stamina]] (with the exception of Giga Bowser). When a boss is beaten, they will usually disappear into the background or fall down on the ground.

: ''Main article: [[Master Hand]]''
-
The first “true” boss of the ''Super Smash Bros.'' series, '''Master Hand''' is the master of ceremonies for the series. He is meant to represent the hand of a child playing with his toys and staging story-less fights between his favorite Nintendo characters (the playable characters in the game are, according to the intro movie, no more than dolls made to look like Nintendo characters). He can also represent a god because of how he brought the fighters to life and made the stages. He first appeared in the introduction to the first [[Super Smash Bros.]], bringing the characters shown in the intro to life. He then appeared at the end of the [[1P Game]] as the final boss. Going against usual Smash tradition, Master Hand has a certain amount of health that must be whittled down to 0%, as opposed to a percent that must be racked up, leading to a ring-out KO; this is due to Master Hand’s massive size, his ability to fly, and being unaffected by the knockback of attacks. Upon being defeated, Master Hand lets out a deep roar that resembles laughter, and flies off, writhing and exploding, into the distance.
-
-
Master Hand reappeared in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]'', reprising his role as the final boss in the [[1-Player mode]], now called [[Classic Mode]]. Master Hand is fought on [[Final Destination]], which is very similar to his original stage, [[Master Hand's Residence (N64)|Master Hand's Residence]]. He fights essentially the same way as he did in the original game, but with a few new attacks. Upon being defeated, he leaves the stage in the same way that he did in the original game. He can also be fought in Event Match #50, where you face off against him and Crazy Hand at the same time.
-
-
Master Hand also appears in the Game Boy Advance game, ''Kirby and the Amazing Mirror'', in which he appears as a miniboss in multiple areas. Upon being defeated, Kirby can inhale him, like other minibosses, and gains the Smash ability, which is based on Kirby’s moveset in ''Melee''. Master Hand, alongside Crazy Hand, also appears as the boss of the Candy Constellation. This is Crazy Hand’s only appearance in the game. The two, like in ''Melee'', have attacks that they use in conjunction with each other. In this battle, neither can be inhaled; they both explode upon defeat.
-
-
Master Hand has reappeared in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'', once again as the boss of Classic Mode. He also appeared in [[Boss Battles Mode]] as one of the game's ten bosses.

==Crazy Hand==

-
:''Main article: [[Crazy Hand]]''
-
The strange, twisted brother of Master Hand, '''Crazy Hand''' is meant to represent the feeling of destroying one’s own creations, as opposed to Master Hand, who is meant to represent the opposite. He was introduced in Super Smash Bros Melee as a secret boss who fights alongside Master Hand under specific conditions, namely that Classic Mode is cleared on Normal difficulty (or higher) in fewer than 18 minutes. (Crazy Hand will join Master Hand when Master Hand has half of his health left.) Crazy Hand also appears in [[Event 50: Final Destination Match]], where he and Master Hand are fought on Final Destination with 300 health each.
-
-
When compared to Master Hand, Crazy Hand can be considered to be much more erratic (i.e. crazy). His idle pose is a strange, erratic movement, and he has multiple strange attacks that are unique to him. Many of his attacks also have side-effects, such as [[Frozen|freezing]] and [[Flower|flowering]]. When Master Hand and Crazy Hand are fought together, they have several moves that they use in conjunction with each other, such as a high-powered clapping attack.
-
-
Crazy Hand has reappeared in [[Brawl]], with new standards on how to fight him in [[Classic Mode]]. You must beat Classic Mode on with a difficulty of Hard or higher in at 9 minutes or fewer. Master Hand and Crazy Hand will appear simultaneously at the beginning of the battle.

-
: ''Main article: [[Giga Bowser]]''
-
'''Giga Bowser''' (known as '''Giga Koopa''' in Japan) is the secret final boss of [[Adventure Mode]] in ''Melee''. As his name suggests, he is a large, powered-up version of [[Bowser (SSBM)|Bowser]]. With a manic expression, a darker, more malevolent color scheme, and a hulking size, Giga Bowser is surely a boss to be remembered.
-
-
Upon clearing Adventure Mode in fewer than 18 minutes on Normal difficulty (or higher), Bowser’s trophy, previously thrown into a mysterious abyss below Final Destination, rises back up onto the stage, and is struck by a strange lightning, transforming it into Giga Bowser. During the battle with Giga Bowser, a distorted version of the Final Destination theme that cannot be found in the Sound Test plays. Many of Giga Bowser’s attacks are powered up versions of Bowser’s. His [[Down Smash]] attack has an icy effect, while his [[Forward smash]] has explosive properties and his [[Forward tilt]] has shadow-like effects. Unlike Bowser's, Giga Bowser's [[Fire Breath]] attack never diminishes.
-
-
Along with [[Mewtwo (SSBM)|Mewtwo]] and [[Ganondorf (SSBM)|Ganondorf]], Giga Bowser appears in [[Event 51: The Showdown]]. This is one of the hardest [[Event Match]]es.
-
-
Giga Bowser also makes a semi-playable appearance in ''Brawl'' as [[Bowser (SSBB)|Bowser]]'s [[Final Smash]], [[Giga Bowser (Final Smash)|Giga Bowser]]. When used, Bowser temporarily transforms into Giga Bowser, who is essentially unchanged from Melee, keeping the elemental abilities of his attacks, as well as his massive size. Also, Giga Bowser does not flinch in Brawl. His Down Special, Giga Bowser Bomb, had a wind effect in Melee; this has been lost in Brawl.

'''Petey Piranha''' (known as '''Boss Pakkun''' in Japan) is the first revealed boss character in ''Brawl'', and the first “true” boss to come from another series of games, as opposed to being unique to ''Smash''. He appears as a boss in [[The Subspace Emissary]], holding cages that contain [[Princess Zelda (SSBB)|Princess Zelda]] and [[Princess Peach (SSBB)|Princess Peach]]. He uses both these cages, as well as his own abilities, to attack Kirby. The cage that Kirby attacks will break when Petey is defeated and explodes and the princess contained therein will be freed; The other princess is turned into a trophy, and subsequently taken, by [[Wario (SSBB)|Wario]]. Petey Piranha has been in Mario Kart Double Dash and [[Super Mario Sunshine]].

-
'''Rayquaza''' (known as '''Rekkuza''' in Japan) is the first Pokémon creature to be a boss in [[Subspace Emissary|adventure mode]] of ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]''. In the [[Subspace Emissary]], it first appears in the jungle after [[Diddy Kong (SSBB)|Diddy Kong]] goes to investigate a crashed [[Arwing]]. It comes out of the water and destroys the Arwing with an energy ball and then kidnaps Diddy. As it goes back in the water, [[Fox McCloud (SSBB)|Fox McCloud]] comes out and attacks the aggressive beast, causing it to lose its grip on Diddy Kong. The Pokémon attacks Fox with energy, but Fox reflects the attack back at the monstrous dragon, sending it tumbling back into the water. After this, Diddy Kong and Fox fight it. Its attacks are loosely based off the Pokémon games, and it has an exceedingly large amount of health.

: ''Main article: [[Porky Minch]]''
-
As one of the bosses of the Subspace Emissary and a high-ranked member of the Subspace Army, a general if you will, Porky Minch sends Primids to divert Lucas and sends in his giant statue, The Pig King Statue, which soon hunts Lucas down. This statue is indestructible, so Lucas has no choice but to run; the giant statue destroys giant containers, barrels, enemies and even metallic buildings. Lucas finally comes to a giant marsh which seems to save him -- the statue sinks, but it soon respawns.
-
-
Lucas then stumbles, and just as the giant statue is about to crush him, someone uses a PK Thunder which causes the statue to tip over, and Ness appears. The statue once again recovers and flies into the air, this time to crush Ness. However, he uses a PK Flash and the statue explodes, revealing Porky Minch himself inside (in his bed-mecha from Mother 3). A battle then ensues. He attacks by running around and by using a variety of lasers, but he is eventually taken down. Porky is brought back by Tabuu to distract the heroes in [[The Great Maze]].

'''Galleom''' is a large transforming robot found in the desert by Marth, Ike, and Meta Knight. Galleom's initial form is a large armored tank equipped with ramming spikes and missles. But when confronted by the three swordsman, it transformed into an immense purple robot. In this form, he attacks with his large fists, missles, and tries to crush the protaganists with his sheer bulk. The mechanoid is finally defeated, but not destroyed. He leaps off a cliff and falls through the ground into a tunnel system. There, he confronts Lucas and the Pokemon Trainer. After he is defeated a second time, he grabs the two companions and blasts into the sky, revealing a Subspace Bomb concealed in his head. Lucas uses PK Thunder to seperate Galleom's arm from his body, releasing the two boys. Galleom is finally destroyed by the detonation of the Subspace Bomb. He is later brought back by Tabuu to confront the heroes yet again in [[The Great Maze]].
