Super Smash Bros. Resistance/Story Mode

Revenant of Subspace acts as Super Smash Bros. Resistance's Story Mode, and a sequel to Brawl's Subspace Emissary.
==Gameplay==
Revenant of Subspace plays similarily to Brawl's Subspace Emissary, with platforming elements similar to the Mario and Kirby games. However, elements from the Legend of Zelda and Metroid games are now drawn upon, in that the levels themselves are massive, sprawling labyrinths full of secrets and sidequests.
The actual story mode uses a chapter system, with each chapter having several missions inside. Missions can be replayed for a chance to find secrets, and some points in the story require you to go back to past missions to find certain objects or doors.
===The Shellfist: Your Home===
The Shellfist, one of Bowser's airships, serves as the main hub of the story mode, where you'll rest in between levels. NPCs will set up shop here, selling items and providing sidequests.
===Shops and Equipment===
Throughout the game, you'll find various items and equipment. Customizable equipment from Smash 4 returns, but only for the story mode, in that you'll need to obtain equipment to raise stats. Items are more like consumables, offering a temporary effect. Shops sell equipment and items, but enemies can also drop them, and sidequests can also reward equipment and items.
== amiibion's History ==
The planet known as amiibion is where the Super Smash Bros. games have occured since the first one in 1996. Essentially, many of the universes within the Super Smash Bros. series have taken place on this planet, except for those explicity stated to be on certain planets. For example, the following are on amiibion alongside some unrevealed universes:
* The World of Trophies
* The Mushroom Kingdom
* Hyrule
* Yoshi's Island
* Donkey Kong Island
* The Kanto, Johto, Hoenn, Sinnoh, Unova, Kalos, and Alola regions.
* Eagleland
* Skyworld
* The Animal Crossing Village
* Inkopolis
* Retro Kingdom
* Kingdoms of the Fire Emblem
Other universes are off-world, on their own planets. These universes are occasionally summoned to amiibion by Master Hand, the planet's ruler, who pits fighters from each of these nations in combat against one-another within his realm, the World of Trophies.
=== Subspace and Tabuu (The Backstory) ===
Meanwhile, in the dimension known as Subspace, the being known as Tabuu grew jealous of Master Hand and his godlike powers over these individuals. He sought to absorb amiibion into Subspace, so he could possess such power. Yet, he was powerless outside of Subspace, and needed a way to get his goals achieved.
He needed a pawn.
Thus, he turned to creating a pawn for himself. The first of his many pawns was Metal Mario, a clone of the Mushroom Kingdom's famous hero. Metal Mario was ordered to infiltrate the first fighting tournament, which was known as a Smash Tournament. He was accompanied by Tabuu's Fighting Polygons, mindless soldiers sent to cause further chaos. Yet, Metal Mario and the Polygons were defeated.
Enraged, Tabuu's next project would be the Fighting Wire Frames, upgraded forms of the Fighting Polygon Team that would accompany Metal Mario. Yet, there was one other weapon waiting to be unleashed.
And that weapon was known as Giga Bowser.
Giga Bowser was a clone of Mario's archnemesis Bowser, designed to be a mindless monster unlike the actual Koopa King. Yet, Metal Mario, Giga Bowser, and the Wire Frames were defeated, and Giga Bowser's body was retrieved, with his DNA being used to create Smash Balls under Master Hand's orders. These balls were capable of granting a fighter unprecedented power, but only for a short amount of time.
=== The Invasion ===
Although Metal Mario, Giga Bowser, and the Wire Frames were defeated, they had given Tabuu some presence in the World of Trophies, which was enough for him to take control of Master Hand. Although Master Hand resisted, he fell to Tabuu's grasp, and began working on a project.
This project would be known as the Subspace Army.
Under the guise of Master Hand, Tabuu would begin the development of an army that would be used to take over the World of Trophies. However, he needed a place to begin the development.
Thus, he turned to the Isle of the Ancients, a floating island established by the R.O.Bs. Tabuu forcefully took control of the island and ordered its leader, the Master Robot, to serve him. The robot had no choice, and gave his island over, while also taking on the guise of an entity known as the Ancient Minister out of shame. The Isle of the Ancients would be repurposed into a weapons factory used to build Subspace Bombs, explosives that brought entire areas of the world into Subspace.
However, one R.O.B. researcher later discovered something important. Something known as Mr. Game & Watch. The Game & Watch species actually produced a substance known as Shadow Bugs, which Tabuu sought to take advantage of. Thus, he gave orders for Game & Watches to be captured and used to produce more Shadow Bugs, which, in turn, would be used to create the Primids: flexible soldiers capable of fighting in any environment.
However, Tabuu also wanted support from the natives of the world. Thus, he sent three R.O.Bs to three different locations: the Mushroom Kingdom, Hyrule, and Diamond City.
Ganondorf was the first to be convinced into joining the Subspace Army. Motivated by a chance to obtain the other two Triforces, he readily obeyed, though in reality, he planned to kill Master Hand when he had the chance. Bowser was the second, seeing Master Hand as a god. He was the quickest to join the Subspace Army, as he sought to further Master Hand's interests. Finally, Wario was the last to join, as he was only motivated by greed, which meant that the R.O.Bs had to pay him for his service.
With three commanders and their respective forces under his control, Tabuu began making other preparations. The R.O.Bs were already building a massive warship in Subspace, but they needed a temporary one for now. Tabuu thus looked no further than the Halberd, a warship owned by Meta Knight. In a massive attack, the ship fell to the Subspace Army, but King Dedede, who was present at the time, learned of the existence of Tabuu's Off-Waves, attacks that could transform fighters back into trophies.
Eventually, the preparations were complete, and the Subspace Army began its invasion. Yet, fighters from all over the world and beyond joined forces and defeated Tabuu, at the cost of the Isle of the Ancients being lost. Yet Tabuu kept a part of him inside of Master Hand, which would be revealed to be the Master Core once Master Hand took sufficient damage in a fight. However, the core was defeated.
==Chapter 1: Darkness on the Horizon==
===Mission 1: The Tournament===
Characters: Mario, Yoshi, Donkey Kong, Link, Samus, Kirby, Fox, Pikachu (pick one)
====Opening Cutscene====
Song: Menu (Melee) (Brawl Remix)
Master Hand: Let the fifth Smash Bros. Tournament begin! Fighters, enter the ring!
The perfect-attendance crew have their trophies thrown onto the central podium of the Midair Stadium, with the crowd cheering. However, within the crowd, one can notice a R.O.B. watching the battles carefully, alongside countless Toads, Yoshis, Kongs, Hylians, Luminoths, Waddle Dees, Cornerians, and Pokemon.
Master Hand: These eight have been chosen as representatives of their nations, here to fight in the field of battle for your enjoyment.
Master Hand: Mario, the noble defender of the Mushroom Kingdom. Yoshi, hero of his species. Donkey Kong, lover of bananas. Link, wielder of the Triforce of Courage. Samus, the intergalactic bounty hunter. Kirby, the champion of Dream Land. Fox, leader of the Star Fox team. And Pikachu, the famous Electric-type Pokemon. Now, let these fighters battle for fame and glory!
After this short cutscene, the player chooses one of these eight characters, entering an eight-person single elimination tournament. Should you lose a battle, you're given an option to retry it again, before reaching the finals.
====Post-Finals Cutscene====
Song: The New Subspace Army
Master Hand: Looks like we have ourselves a winner!
As the fighters shake hands, an explosion suddenly occurs in the southern portion of the stadium, with screams capable of being heard.
Mario: What was a-that?
Pikachu: Pikaa...
Fox: Please don't tell me they're back...
A massive gunship emerges in the skies. It resembles the Subspace Gunship, but smaller and with Meta Knight's helmet on the front, implying that it was made from the wreckage of the Halberd. Kirby in particular looks at it with incredible interest.
Link: Hyaah! (They're back!)
Link points to a horde of Primids crawling onto the central platform, as a hologram appears in the skies, coming from the gunship. Fox recognizes the hologram technology immediately, believing it to have come from the Great Fox's wreckage.
???: Citizens of the World of Trophies. We are the New Subspace Army, here to finish what Tabuu started. Although our numbers are small, we urge you to join us in bringing this world into the tranquil land of Subspace, so that we may allow for greater peace.
The Primid soldiers bring out alien weaponry, pointing it at the heroes.
At this point, the player can choose one character to play as against the Primids, with the other seven assisting in the fight. There are 100 Primids to kill, essentially making this Multi-Man Smash.
====Boss Cutscene====
Song: The Impending Assault
Samus kicks the last Primid body into the pit, before blasting it with her arm cannon.
Samus: That was the last one. Master Hand, has the stadium been evacuated?
Master Hand (via hologram): Yes it has. I recommend that you eight also return home until this whole incident has blown over.
Mario: We can't-a just stay behind!
Master Hand (via hologram): I'm sorry Mario. I can't let you eight get hurt.
The hologram fades away as Fox calls for his Arwing, Kirby gets a Warp Star, and Mario, Donkey Kong, Yoshi, Link, and Pikachu enter Samus's ship. As the ship flies away alongside the Warp Star and Arwing, the group has a discussion.
Mario: I can't-a believe Master Hand would just force us to leave.
Yoshi: Must be for a good reason. Maybe he planned for this?
Samus: Whatever the case, it's for the greater good.
Suddenly, a stray blast of energy hits Samus's ship. Immediately, a large hovercraft can be seen with two R.O.Bs manning a massive cannon.
Mario: Finally! Some action!
Samus: They better not wreck my ship.
The following fight has you choose between Mario, DK, Yoshi, Link, Pikachu, or Samus to fight the R.O.B. hovercraft, which has various attacks to keep you on your toes, but Kirby and Fox provide aerial support.
====Ending Cutscene====
Song: Split Up!
The last R.O.B. is nearing its end, until a hologram of the unidentified individual from earlier appears from his body.
???: Impressive. You shut down my Primid attack as well as this little incursion. But I have one last trick up my sleeve.
The hovercraft detonates, throwing Mario, DK, Yoshi, Link, and Pikachu onto the nearby ground, scattered away from each other. The debris also hits Kirby, Fox, and Samus, forcing their ships to crash in unknown locations.
===Intermission Cutscene===
Song: Boss Theme (Melee)
A Subspace Bomb detonates within the Midair Stadium, consuming it entirely. Afterwards, countless Primids begin marching through the hole in Subspace that was created.
(Note: All Primids speak in subtitles. What they're really saying will be in brackets)
Primid 1: Yshh kalig nogun kubrar. (The master ordered us to march forward.)
Primid 2: Zogul shakon rakil nalga. (We better get going then.)
The Primid horde begins moving, with one tripping on a rock. He looks behind him at the Subspace hole, with Shadow Bugs slightly pouring out of his eye like a tear.
Primid 3: Nal vuka zakar gol. (And so it begins once again.)
===Mission 2: Link's Awakening===
Characters: Link and Villager
====Opening Cutscene====
Song: Title (Animal Crossing)
Nothing but a black screen.
???: Hello, Link! Wake up!
Link wakes up, expecting to find Navi, but instead, he finds himself in a bed, with Villager and Isabelle standing nearby. He has bandages on his chest and arms, as well as a scar on his face.
Villager: Nope, it's not Navi. It's me.
Isabelle: We found you unconscious outside the town, so we brought you here. We're all worried about the explosion we saw in the sky as well as the one near the Midair Stadium.
The camera zooms in on Link's eyes as he gasps, before showing a flashback to Samus's ship being shot down.
Villager: Isabelle, grab some more bandages. This is the Hero of Time we're dealing with.
Isabelle: Yes mayor.
As Isabelle leaves the room, Link begins sitting on the side of the bed, looking around the room.
Villager: We washed your clothes too. When you're feeling better, I'll help you get out of the town.
The player then takes control of Link and Villager as they walk through the town of Smashville. Villagers look at Link curiously. Eventually, the player is prompted to enter a building.
====Shop Cutscene====
Song: 2:00 am
Link enters the store to find weapons and armor along the racks, alongside numerous other items.
Villager: This here is our store for travellers. We sell plenty of weapons and armor here, alongside potions.
Link looks at the racks of items with interest.
After this, the player can buy items from Smashville's store, but can leave right away if they wish. Eventually, as they near the exit of the town, the next cutscene begins.
====Fight Cutscene====
Song: Guardian Battle
As Link and Villager prepare to leave the town, Skull Kid teleports in, letting out a maniacal laugh. Link clenches his fist, but eventually begins to simply look at Skull Kid in contempt.
Skull Kid: Eh-hee-hee...looks like I finally found one of the heroes.
Villager: What do you want?
Skull Kid: Conflict is coming, and I seek to play a part in it. Hee hee hee...
Skull Kid teleports away, before leaving behind a horde of Lizalfos and Octoroks.
After this cutscene, the player has to fight through the forest outside Smashville against traditional Zelda enemies. This will take a long time, and there's plenty of secrets along the way.
====Ending Cutscene====
Song: Song of Storms
Link and Villager reach a nearby clearing in the forest, and sit down for the night.
Villager: Is it okay if I join you in finding the others?
Link nods, before showing him a picture on his Sheikah Slate of the other fighters.
Villager: So there's seven of them. This may take some time.
===Intermission Cutscene===
Song: The Factory
A factory full of R.O.Bs can be seen, with the R.O.Bs working on Subspace Bombs and Dark Cannons. Primids can also be seen marching through the factory. Up on a ledge, Kirby can be seen in a cage as a R.O.B is talking with his mysterious leader via hologram.
R.O.B.: Master, we've captured one of them. The Warp Star was easy enough to track down.
???: Excellent. We just have the other seven to find. Bring in the Shadow Bugs and we can make this quick.
As the hologram turns off, Shadow Bugs begin to pour into Kirby's cell as he screams, while the R.O.B. looks on in cold, robotic silence.
===Mission 3: A Surprising Ally===
Characters: Mario and Crash Bandicoot
====Opening Cutscene====
Song: N. Sanity Beach
Crash Bandicoot witnesses a massive explosion in the sky as Mario's trophy lands on the ground. Crash curiously taps the trophy, thus bringing Mario back to life.
Mario: Where am-a I?
Crash: That doesn't matter. Are you alright?
Mario: I guess I am-a alright. But the others...
Crash: I assume they also crashed in different parts of the world. My name's Crash Bandicoot. Yours?
Mario: I'm-a Mario.
Crash: Ah, the world-famous Mario. It's an honor.
Mario: We better find-a the others.
Shovel Knight: I'll accompany you.
Afterwards, the player ventures through the plains, fighting Primids and various other Subspace enemies that have begun invading the World of Trophies, including traditional Mario enemies for some reason. Several secrets can also be found along the way.
====Bowser Cutscene====
Song: Bowser's Theme
Mario and Crash Bandicoot eventually reach a canyon, where one of Bowser's airships emerges, with Bowser on board.
Bowser: Mario! I finally found you!
Mario: What do you-a want now, Bowser?
Crash: Bowser's a bad guy?
Mario: Yes. He kidnapped-a Princess Peach more times than I can count.
Bowser: No, you don't understand. I'm not here to-
Crash Bandicoot and Mario jump onto Bowser's ship, preparing to fight him.
At this point, a boss fight begins against Bowser. When he's defeated, the next cutscene plays.
====Ending Cutscene====
Song: Airship Theme (Super Mario Bros. 3)
Bowser turns back into a trophy as Crash and Mario look at him ominously.
Crash: I feel like he was trying to tell us something. We should revive him.
Mario: Fine.
Mario touches Bowser's trophy, bringing him back to life. He immediately snarls at Mario.
Bowser: Whoever revived me, thank you. Anyways, I didn't come here to fight.
Mario: Then what did you-a come here to do?
Bowser: I'm here to help in the fight against the New Subspace Army.
Crash: So you're aware of what's going on then too?
Bowser: They've begun to invade more than just the World of Trophies. They attacked the Mushroom Kingdom too. I barely escaped in this airship alongside the minions of mine who avoided the brainwashing.
Mario: What about the princess?
Bowser: That's what I'm worried about. From what I heard, she's gone into hiding. Hyrule, the Pokemon regions, and Inkopolis have also reported attacks, as well as countless other nations. This is a global war we're dealing with.
Crash: This is awful.
Bowser: That's why I want to help you Mario. I can't take back my castle alone. I care about Peach as much as you do.
Mario: The other seven heroes went-a missing too. Subspace forces shot us down as we fled from the Midair Stadium!
Bowser: We'll need their assistance as well. Besides, I have a score to settle with the Subspace forces as well. Stupid Tabuu...
Crash: Your airship should be of great use to us as a form of transportation.
Bowser: Yep. The Bowser Baddies here are ready to use the Shellfist to take us anywhere. Let's head on board.
The Shellfist begins to take off.
After this cutscene, the Shellfist is unlocked as the game's hub in between levels and Bowser joins the party. Link and Villager are still separate from the party, however.
===Intermission Cutscene===
Song: Shadowed Attack
Two Primids are walking through a darkened forest at nighttime.
Primid 1: Yshal jagil nokun. (Where'd they go?)
Primid 2: Cralgor shakil rul zognon. (I think it was this way.)
A branch can be heard breaking, as a shadowy birdlike figure appears from above.
Primid 2: Gul voz yalnor?! (What was that?)
The shadowed figure decends on the two Primids, aiming his arrow at them before it cuts to black.
===Mission 4: Crash Landing===
Characters: Fox and Inkling
====Opening Cutscene====
Song: Inkoming
Fox's Arwing begins spiralling through the skies as he screams into his communicator.
Fox: Anyone here? I've been shot down!
Falco: We hear you Fox.
Krystal: You're coming up to a city of sorts. The impact might be a bit painful-
The Arwing crashes in the middle of Inkopolis, with Fox barely surviving. An Inkling taps on the glass cockpit as it opens up.
Inkling: Uh, you okay sir?
Fox: Yeah, I'm fine. Shouldn't you be angry that I crashed here in the first place?
Inkling: Yeah, that's the least of our problems right now...
The Inkling points at a horde of Primids and Subspace enemies roaming around Inkopolis.
Fox: Oh, they're bad news.
Inkling: Help us out here, and I'll see what we can do to fix your ship.
After this cutscene, you'll have to explore Inkopolis in order to stop the Subspace invasion. Although some shops are open and still sell items, most are closed due to the attack.
====Boss Cutscene====
Song: I am Octavio (Final Battle Phase 1)
Fox and the Inkling arrive at a central plaza in Inkopolis. However, a massive spider made of Shadow Bugs emerges, with a nearby R.O.B. showing a holographic rendition of the New Subspace Army's mysterious leader.
???: Looks like I found you Fox. Enjoy dealing with this monstrosity.
As the R.O.Bs disappear, the spider roars at Fox and the Inkling.
After this cutscene, Fox and Inkling have to fight the Shadow Bug spider, known as Arachis.
====Ending Cutscene====
Song: Star Wolf's Theme (Star Fox Zero)
Arachnis explodes, pouring Shadow Bugs all over Inkopolis.
Inkling: Looks like we're safe for now. Let's check on your ship.
Fox and the Inkling arrive at the crash site, where it's revealed that Sheldon managed to repair the Arwing.
Sheldon: Got this repaired fairly quickly.
As Fox enters his Arwing, the Inkling looks at him with an expression on her face.
Inkling: I want to fight more of those Subspace guys. Can I join you?
Fox: Sure. Just make sure not to touch anything.
The Arwing takes off.
