Story[]

The story will, according to the director, revolve around character development. In the Subspace Emissary, all of the Nintendo protagonists will unite to take down an evil force unlike any before - the Subspace Army, which is headed by the Ancient Minister. This army plans to tear the world apart and feed subspace the land mass, and its the Nintendo casts' duty to stop them.

The story begins with Mario and Kirby having a friendly fight. Mario ultimately wins, and Kirby turns into a trophy. Mario revives him and the two shake hands (note: this all takes place in the arena). Eventually, a large cloud appears over the stadium followed by Meta Knight's Halberd. After this, an army of Primid drop onto the stage as well as a bomb and a R.O.B. Squad, who were constructed to operate the bomb. The two R.O.B.s set the bomb's timer. Mario quickly runs in to deactivate the bomb, though gets blasted miles away by a cannon. By now Princess Peach and Zelda, who were merely observing the battle that took place before, attempted to fight the enemies, when suddenly Petey Piranha came in and trapped the two in cages.

Kirby now has to fight Petey, who is the first boss in the game. He does so by attacking the cages that the princesses are in. By the end of the battle, one of the two princesses will be saved. By now Wario jumps into the stadium with some sort of cannon and blasts the other princess you didn't manage to save, thus turning her into a trophy. Kirby and the princess you do save then escape the stadium via a warpstar, and the entire stadium gets engulfed by the bomb.

While on the warpstar, the two get shot down by the Halberd, and then crash onto the large ship. Fox McCloud then tries to come to the rescue by trying to shoot down the Halberd, only to be shot down himself. Fox's Arwing crashes into the ship, which causes Peach and Kirby to trip and fall off of it.

Hidden Characters[]

Three hidden characters can be unlocked through Subspace Emissary. However, they themselves never actually appear in the main story. You will have to complete the Subspace Emissary and return to 3 levels (revealed on the characters wiki pages) to find a door that wasn't there beforehand and defeat them and they'll join you. This is REQUIRED for the 100% completion of the Subspace Emissary.
