Tabuu: Time to completely lose your innocence and childhood and grow up Subspace ending: The kid doesn’t have to “grow up” to grow up, he will change but he will always stay the same Master core: same as Tabuu Galeem: The company itself Nintendo being unfair to everyone like fans and employees Dharkon: The toxicity and negativity of other fans Light ending: Nintendo will always ignore their fans and use their employees and characters as puppets Dark ending: Toxic Fans will use Sakurai or Nintendo and force them to do what they exactly want True ending: Sakurai will put his own creativity and imagination freely and will end the series by setting everyone free he will continue onward but he has his creativity in his own hands, not anyone else’s (my Favorite ending tho 😊)

[@lorenasoto1483]

My impressions: Master Hand: Easy Crazy Hand: Harder than MH, but easy too. Giga Bowser: Like a normal Bowser but a bit harder. Tabuu: A HELL Master Core (9.0): ANOTHER HELL Dharkon: A SEMI-HELL! Galeem: Easy Galeem/Dharkon: ANOTHER HELL! But Galeem wasn't hard, he just annoys me. Dharkon is the damn problem. Yes, 4 (really 3.5) bosses for me are hard, but are my favorites, especially Master Core.

[@Thenumber1yoshi]

I don’t know on higher difficultly levels Galeem’s Tabuu-like attack gives me more trouble than anything Dharkon does mostly because he’s spent so much time doing so much damage and that Off Waves (what Tabuu’s one hit K.O. move is called) style attack is so strong that it sends me flying far enough to K.O. me pretty easily especially when he does it pretty often when I have high enough damage and even at low percentages its strong enough to rack up enough damage to where he only has to perform it three more times before it K.O.’s me (four if I’m lucky).

[@Pejelo]

Every smash is getting their final bosses even harder and more weird every single game. That's of course Amazing,

It's not a good ending when you defeat Darkhon. Galeem absorb the universe with his light, and everyone die like if it was darkness. The point is to bring balance of both concepts. You can't have a world without light, or without darkness. You have to kill them both.

[@ProjectSorolf]

Tier list. (My opinion) potential spoilers. Giga bowser is the weakest. Spoiler for WoL ending - Master hand and Crazy hand are tied. I feel like the both of them are between 100x - 500x more powerful than giga bowser. (Simply because they hold back against the main cast. Based off of master hand vs the puppets. He took out 50 puppets all by himself. Assuming those puppets were equal or near the main cast strength. Plus the death animations shows he's just playing around when he "dies" in classic mode. ) Then it would be last stage master core. First form would be 10x stronger than the last stage. Then fighter echo form stronger than 1st form by 1.2x. Then 3rd form, stronger by 60x. Then 4th form. 1.5x stronger than 3rd. Then Tabuu. Based on the fact he dominated master hand and the entire cast each with a single attack. Making me believe he is well over 1,000x stronger than master hand. Lastly Galeem and Darkon. Wiped out a galaxy. Took hardly any damage from our heroes, in fact the main reason the heroes one is because they fought eachother while fighting the heroes. I believe both of them are 50x stronger than Tabuu. Basically Giga bowser would be a 1/10 Master hand and Crazy hand a 4/10 Master core 5 or 6 out of 10 Tabuu 8/10 Galeem and Darkon 10/10

[@artimissbarker1690]

in terms of strength i think: galeem = dharkon>tabuu>master core>master hand = crazy hand>giga bowser. galeem and dharkon are equal and since there is a tabuu spirit that means tabuu was hit by galeem's light. tabuu,galeem, and dharkon are the only boss characters which the game makes you choose multiple characters. giga bowser is someone who I assume is below master hand and crazy hand. I don't think the hands are massively above the main cast to the degree you said. maybe just 100x the main cast if we assume the puppets are equal to the base main cast, and if we assume master hand is literally over 50x the main cast even though he only fights 7 at a time, meaning he could just be 10x the main cast and still have enough power to slap 7 fighters at the same time. galeem and dharkon:100 tabuu: 50 master core: 20 master hand and crazy hand:10 giga bowser:5 main cast:1 would this scale work? or should I lower giga bowser to a 2 and put suppressed master hand and crazy hand to a 3 or 4?

[@ProjectSorolf]

@@artimissbarker1690 Na. That seems like it would work

[@artimissbarker1690]

@@ProjectSorolf just found out that the forms of master core like master giant are spirits as well. meaning galeem and dharkon are more powerful than master core. now the question is, is master core weaker than tabuu?

[@ProjectSorolf]

@@artimissbarker1690 I believe master core might be. It sounds weird but if you think about it Tabuu didn't fight just a single fighter. He fought all the fighters in brawl at the same time. (Minus Wolf, and Toon Link). And he took damage prior to the fight. I think you were allowed to choose 6 fighters. But with master core you only fought him one on one. If Mario by himself beat master core but needed the help of 29 more fighters (forgot how many fighters were in brawl) to fight Tabuu. It would only make sense if Tabuu is stronger than master core
