After a long battle Galeem is defeated but just as the battle seems won for good a dark fissure opens up in the sky opening a way to the dark realm as Galeem falls. A dark eye opens itself and calls to the heroes claiming it is Dharkon and challenges the heroes before disappearing.

==Development==
The film was developed alongside it's predecessor back to back. The Russo Brothers worked very closely with Super Smash Bros director Masahiro Sakurai in order to make sure the film ties into the game as much as possible. Former Nintendo president Reggie Fils-Aime, current Nintendo president Doug Bowser, as well as Shigeru Miyamoto were also given supervisory roles with the film's development in order for the film to follow the game's source material as much as possible. The film was given a May 2020 release date in order to accommodate for the time it will take for the game Super Smash Bros Ultimate to stream out all of the DLC fighters who Sakurai wanted included in the film by February 2020.
JJ Abrams was once again asked to produce the film and Illumination Entertainment was in charge of developing the animation for the film. Universal Pictures was put in charge for the film's marketing.
