Ranking How USELESS Subspace Emissary Characters Are 

10:40 I'll have to defend my boy Marth. He's not "not as brave" as Ike, he just isn't as reckless as him to jump off a cliff with no landing plan

Mr Game & Watch is the reason why the bad guys can make all the enemies in the Subspace Emissary

Bro I loved how they portrayed Dedede here, fucking love how baddass and slightly of a goof he is here.

Thumbnail: Sonic is useless. Video: Sonic was an important clutch character.

A detail I love about Dedede here is that he's portrayed as surprisingly selfless. At first, him misplacing the third badge and finding it on himself seems like a simple gag, but with later context... Dedede removing that badge and putting it on the princess was actually him giving up his own assured safety for the sake of saving someone else. That's... Heartbreaking and heartwarming all at the same time.

Imma just disagree with that low Lucas placement. Lucas’ arc carries themes of companionship but I feel the crux of it is believing in one’s own power. When we first see Lucas he’s just walking around the Ruined Zoo until he’s ambushed by a bunch of primids and Porky Statue, he says fuck that and starts running as any sane person would. Ness then appears and saves Lucas from the statue giving Lucas a glimpse of what he could be capable of if he just believed in his own power. Ness gets captured due to Lucas’ fear and Lucas is left to wander alone until he runs into Red who demonstrates power through his bond with Squirtle. Lucas then joins Red on his journey to complete his Pokédex in the hopes that he can become strong like both Red and Ness (and save Ness btw). We are shown Red visibly getting stronger by gaining stronger Pokémon but Lucas is right there with him slowly gaining a new confidence. Lucas gets his revenge on Wario but unfortunately Ness is nowhere to be found so he continues his journey with Red until the Swordsmen fuck up by not finishing Galleum and it’s left to Lucas and Red who have both hit the climax of their arcs. Mentioning Meta-Knight saving them is fine but also note how they got put in that position as well. From there, yeah he doesn’t do much else of note but I still feel he had one of the strongest arcs in Subspace.

Ike deserved to be in Pretty Important because he is the ONLY ONE to actually hit the Aincent Minister and destory a bomb as well when no one else could.

I think Fox is an Elite here. This guy… 1: … confronted the Hailberd THREE TIMES, including once with the Great Fox (his team’s mothership)… 2: … survived a fire when Rayquaza burned his Arwing (his ship) and each time it or the Great Fox crashed (ok, so don’t ask me how he did that)… 3: … rescued and protected Diddy from the aftermentioned Legendary Pokémon and defeated it with his help… 4: … teamed up with him to save Donkey… 5: … played a crucial role in the aftermentioned rescue mission… 6: … dodged a Dark Cannon shot, which eventually led to his attempted kidnapping failing thanks to his teammate… 7: … and helped Sheik/Zelda, Peach, Snake, Lucario and Falco defeat Duon (the giant robot). And the cherry on top of that? Out of all the characters who knew about the Subspace Army, Fox is one of, if not the FIRST, one to have an ally by his side against them (thanks, Falc!). Credits to someone else for mentioning that.

zelda and peach for sure deserve to be a tier higher. Zelda for punching through fox’s windshield and peach for ending a confrontation with a cup of tea and the cinematic masterpiece of her unfazed in the middle of a battlefield

Diddy is in the correct tier, but your description is off; he doesn't drag Fox & Falco along because he's too scared; he drags them along because he wants them to prioritize Donkey's rescue (& because they'd otherwise be going the wrong way to even accomplish _their own_ goals anyhow). Game & Watch is way wrong, though; he's _at least_ Capable-tier.

I'm going to argue Bowser being manipulated doesn't actually make him any less important in the story. The way I view the question is "how much would the story change if you removed them?" For example, if you removed Mario, then most of his role could easily be filled by whatever character(s) he's paired up with. Without Bowser and his army, a good amount of the scenes just don't happen.

Ice climbers are actually worthless in this mode

I hope multiple people get on with why he's completely wrong about Mr Game & Watch's importance. G&W was effectively an additional source of enemies for the SSE, since his body is made of the same material as Subspace. Half the mooks being fought were basically made from his essence. So his freedom (or lack there of) is VERY important to the early and midgame of the setting. All the minions controlling the stolen Halberd were basically made out of Game & Watch juice.

Sonic coming in at the last second and saving literally everyone deserves elite

I think dedede should be in a teir of his own called elite+ 1 was smart enough to develop machines that would revive fighters 2 he saved MORE than he thought he would so he was willing to sacrifice himself 3 if he failed he would have gone down a villain 4 he strait up tackled Kirby with a hug 5 an overlooked part he stole warios hovercraft and if he didn’t wario would have stolen many very important fighters 6 he was smart enough to hide the statues from the TRUE villains 7 he beat the crap out of bowser who was trying to stop them ALL BY HIMSELF

Sonic is elite, he may be barely in it but without him there's no good ending, also the way he enters is just so sick that he deserves it

3:11, ah yes, Bowser’s famous minions, the badniks

I feel like donkey kong should get bonus points for sacrificing himself to save diddy

While it's not front and center I would say that Samus and Pikachu maybe deserve one rank up. They infiltrate both a resarch facility and a bomb factory implying that, while they're not front and center, they're doing some real damage behind the scenes. At least that's always the impression I've had. After all, why is Ridley there if there's nothing to guard? Also the fact they work so damn well together is fantastic. They also did the Other M Ridely scene correctly way before Other M came out. So points for that too.

I really do like how they made one of the most selfish characters in video games be the most generous and heroic (King Dedede btw). Especially since at that point, he was still being portrayed as mainly as an antagonistic figure that halts Kirby's process every now and again lol

Can't exactly blame Luigi for getting 'frozen' in the most embarassing pose ever... because that's just his statue pose. The characters don't get frozen in the pose they were in when they're turned into statues. Huh, never knew Koopas and Gooombas were 'badniks'. "Until Star Fox saves him" ...Star Fox is the mercenary group, that's Fox McCloud. ...Why is Yoshi ABOVE Diddy Kong, when Diddy was the one who basically got Fox and Falco involved in the way they were and saved Donkey Kong? 'Corneria ship' That's the Great Fox. Can't remember if it's based off of a typical Cornerian ship or if it's fully custom, but still. The only thing I have to say about the Dedede badge thing with Kirby... is that was basically luck. Kirby had no idea what it was and we didn't even get to see him eat it, so it feels like it was kinda pulled out of the writer's asses. To be fair, Dedede isn't really a villain so it's not surprising that he's more of a hero in Subspace. Like, the only game where Dedede himself is an actual villain is Kirby's Dreamland, and Return of the King in Super Star Ultra. I'm not counting Spring Breeze because that's just basically a retelling of Kirby's Dreamland. Honestly I wish Sonic had been put higher, I feel like it would be fair to put him in Elite, since he does save literally everyone else from getting re-statue'd... but he's also not there for most of the story so I get it.

Kid Icarus fan here, I appreciate the Pit kindness

The fact that it was Sonic who save the entire Nintendo Verse is the most ironic thing in this entire story.

12:04 The floor here is made out of floor.

“It’s Ness and Dedede that moves this story along” when Luigi literally helps Ness and Dedede revive everyone alongside Kirby. 0/10

Actually Fox from almost the beginning of the game was trying to stop meta knight ship and was badass through the hole game

I think it should have a capable + and capable - tier You can’t have Yoshi and Olimar who literally are there and doesn’t do anything in the same tier as DK or Pokémon trainer who actually did important things

Kinda nutty that Luigi being a part of the crew that saves a good majority of the rest of the crew is not in a higher tier. The level they go to isn’t necessarily a cake walk and again, he’s a part of saving the other characters for the great maze. Same with Diddy. I feel like you understate how strong he is to help fend off the bosses and he’s not Lucas personality wise at all. He’s not scared, he just needs help to get Donkey Kong. He was willing to fight Bowser and pretty much goes to save Donkey Kong alone. And also, are the tiers about how strong they are or how much they do in the plot? Cuz, if we’re going with the former, a good amount of the capable tier needs to go down, and Wario turning people into statues, ice climbers being able to keep up with Meta Knight and Lucas saving him and Pokemon Trainer were no brainers for the “capable” tier. If the ladder, Olimar needs to go down, as we don’t see his actions outside of a group that much other than struggling to take down a huge rob, and Game and Watch are the stuff that makes up one of the 10 bosses, I think that’s pretty strong.

I also fucking love to imagine Sonic being like "Yo Mario! Sorry for being late but I- HOLLY FUCK WHAT IS HAPPENING?!". Like Sonic thought this would be great times with Mario just like at the Olympics only to see some kind of Evil God turn everyone to stone statues (?). Though, if Sonic had a nickle for every type of God he fought, he would have 2- wait Chaos also technically counts as a God too, right? So he'd have 3- No wait, forgot about Dark Gaia, he'd have 4 nickles, which isn't much but it both impressive and strange that it happened 4 times.

I’d have put Peach and Zelda up a tier level, they aren’t as worthless as you say lol I’m making my own smash bros series, this video inspired me to keep going!

While I respectfully disagree with the tier list, the video was a fun watch and appreciate the upload! Subspace Emissary was true gold.

Even though I quite like some of the characters on the list, seeing how you guys analyzed and ranked them made me laugh out loud.

Sonic saves the entire world that a definite elite my brother

One thing about Yoshi is that he has the speed capable of escaping one of the subspace bombs. Sub-canonically being mach speed, he helps Mario ride to safety. Other than that though, he just wakes up and recognizes there’s a world to save.

i never liked Olimar’s portrayal in subspace. they make him out to be a coward when in reality he’s a brave, selfless, and smart family man!

One thing I always found funny was that Wario was portrayed as the weaker minion who went out and turned people into statues, but until Snake, Lucario, and Meta Knight rescue Zelda and Peach on the Halberd, not a single one of his statues gets revived. Meanwhile, people be saving Bowser’s left and right-specifically, Diddy Kong at Falco’s intro spends roughly 40 seconds as a statue. Food for thought

Best couple hands down Pokèmon Trainer - Lucas: I always wanna cry remembering their bond of friendship and how it developes itself throughout the story. Second place for Samus - Pikachu: she put her mission on risk saving him from being an alive battery, demonstrating this way that behind the hunter there's always the woman: or, behind the suite, there's always the Zero. Very good video!

Personally I have to disagree with Captain Falcon's placement. Yes, he's cool when he appears, but he shows up so late in the game that he doesn't really get that much to do. Calling his ship to save the island crew is really the only notable thing, and I feel like the significance of that is more comparable to Pit's and Sonic's actions than to anyone else in Elite tier. If anything, Sonic was more important because he saved everyone, while Captain Falcon only saved characters who aren't important for the rest of the story. Also... he killed all the pikmin. You can't just do that and expect to stay in Elite.

Sonic should be elite I mean cmon he was the only character to actually do smth while the other characters INCLUDING Kirby and Mario were frozen

Fun fact I'd like to point out something (this might be kinda long.) What's interesting to me is that both of the princesses and Kongs are specifically targeted on numerous occasions, with the Subspace Emissary having full on plans to secure them (attack the princesses, and lure the Kongs.) Ness, Lucas, and Marth are also attacked, but they're likely just Wario doing whatever, and the Subspace Emissary trying to remove any available castles to hide in. But now that begs the question: why are the princesses and Kongs targeted? And what plan did Tabuu had in mind where those would be crucial?

Sonic, Jigglypuff, Toon Link, and Wolf just watching Tabuu turn everyone else into trophies

Ness deserved to be elite just by the fact of how badass he is in the story. He literally started humiliating Wario.

Luigi, Ness, King Dedede, and Kirby literally saved everyone

Despite the short screen time Ness had, Subspace Emissary portrayed Ness how he truly is in his home game. As for Lucas, the arc was meant to be reminiscent of his story in Mother 3, though understandably, Smash players still mischaracterize him along with Ness unfairly...

12:52 just use handheld mode my guy.

Of course, a guy called 'I Main Luigi in Smash Bros' would say this, but I mean Luigi being one of three survivors after the universe implodes, putting him right at the start of the effort to rescue the other fighters, seems pretty important to me They're also called Trophies

The only one I really disagree with is Lucas. Yeah, he's a scaredy cat and doesn't do a whole bunch, but he keeps fighting despite his fear, and goes out of his way to save some of the more prominent fighters on several occasions, even if he needs help for some of it. I think he's deserving of capable tier.

Lucas saving Pokémon Trainer's bacon with a PK Thunder when Galleom grabbed them both and rocketed into the sky with his Subspace bomb activated ought to bump up his ranking a little bit

Bro what the hell? Luigi was one of the three survivors ( the others being ness and king dedede) and king dedede basically "froze" Luigi in a trophy state just so he can take him and make a team alongside ness, so he shouldn't go anywhere lower than capable

Funny how Sonic only appeared in the very end of Subspace Emissary😂 But at least did something useful to stopping Tabuu from turning everyone into trophies again

5:23 Lol “somehow still alive bounty hunter😊

9:36 imagine being Lucas, the depressed, traumatized child, and hearing this one lmao

The whole part on Luigi was absolute drivel.

Peach walking on the Halberd: "Bitch, I was doing that Ultra Instinct shit a decade before Goku."

Sonic: -Shows up last minute -Singlehandedly kicks Tabuu's ass -Doesn't elaborate -Leaves

Alright, time for my thoughts Mario and Luigi are ranked pretty fairly all things considered Peach however, not only resolved a conflict between Fox and Sheik but convinced Game and Watch to join the good guys. In other words, she's 'The Negotiator'. Zelda though (if not counting her as Sheik) is pretty useless Bowser is honestly so crucial to the plot that it's easy to forget he's a bottom tier DK's a real one for not only saving Diddy, but also ROB as they're escaping the island Putting Diddy in Kinda Weak is wild, but understandable. Need I remind you that he gunned down several primids to free DK, and roping Fox and Falco is not an act of cowardice but more-so tactical, given that there's strength in numbers and both were more or less heading the same way. Yoshi on the other hand feels like he should belong in Kinda Weak. He feels more like a species yoshi than the titular character and while his fast running saves Mario from a subspace bomb, he doesn't really stand out as much from the group of 5 as Link does WARIOOOOOOOOOOOO! HE'S GOTTA WINNNNNNNNNNN! Link is pretty agreeable, although I do wanna point out how he and Zelda free Ganon, knowing they have a common enemy and putting their differences aside. Damn, putting the worst character in elite. Who would've seen that coming. Samus: frees Pikachu out of kindness, infiltrates a heavily guarded facility to get her power suit back, confronts the source of the subspace bombs and uses her gunship as one of the vessels for the final battle. If that's not Elite I don't know what is. I'd put Pikachu in Pretty Important because 1. He faced off with Ridley, who is has killed hundreds in Metroid lore and 2. He's really cute. I feel like since Pit is kinda like Sakurai's adopted child, he also got special treatment. I feel like they were running out of ideas for characters by the time Ice Climbers showed up but to be fair, there's not much to do with them to begin with. The Ancient Minister's lore is one of the most heartbreaking in Nintendo history. His entire race was enslaved and forced to be tools for weapons of mass destruction and all he could do was watch in guilt, eventually finding the courage to stand up for himself and join the heros. Probably the first game ever to make me feel bad for a robot. Honestly the Kirby characters deserve a tier above elite Olimar is just kinda there.... moving on Fox belongs in Elite but another comment explained why so I won't I'd place Falco up a tier, considering that he and Fox were likely one of, if not THE first fighters to form a resistance against the Subspace army Captain Falcon does a lot of badass stuff, but the fact that he killed like, two dozen Pikmin brings him down to Pretty Important for me. Pkmn Trainer seems to be building his ranks for the incoming subspace threat (not sure why he didn't have all 3 already) but should really get a Pokedex. I'd move Lucario to Pretty Important since he uses his aura to detect Snake as well as unseen primids on the Halberd I'd put Marth and Ike in capable. Ike is just really reckless and while he does disable a bomb, it was mostly cuz he caught Ancient Minister off guard. Ness is sans. Elite tier For non-Japan users, this is basically Lucas's character development (cuz Mother 3 was never globally... you know the meme). Not to mention he saved Pkmn trainer when he got knocked out and stood up against Wario at their second encounter. I'd say he's sufficiently capable As someone else said, Mr. G&W is the source of the subspace/shadow bugs, which is why Tabuu used him for his plan. According to the lore, G&W struggles to comprehend what is good and what is evil, which is kinda tragic when you think about it. All things considered, he's Pretty Important. Snake is pretty handy for infiltrating the Halberd and taking down Duon, though he loses points for being sexist to Peach and Zelda. Sonic's role is kinda rushed but all things considered, it is fitting for his character. And there's my thoughts. Pretty interesting video, ngl.... NOW DO ONE FOR WORLD OF LIGHT /J

And Lucas kinda weak? Dude it was so cool seing Lucas build up determination and courage and the pokemon trainer supporting him for that, also when they both were falling Lucas tried to sacrifice himself to save the trainer before leta knight showed up and saved them both, like come on he should've been pretty important

9:16 one of my fav scenes they really let bro COOK in that sequence 🔥

sonic shud be elite cuz he was the one t beat the final boss

I’d put ice climbers in worthless tbh. They show up once and do nothing then continue to do nothing the whole time.

Not as brave? NOT AS BRAVE??? Marth solo’d the entire castle level, took Meta Knight on with no hesitation, and attacked the Ancient Minister. The only reason he hung back before Ike and Meta Knight jumped was because he wanted to try and make a plan, but as soon as his allies jumped, he jumped too to back them up. The man has lead the biggest army in the Fire Emblem series, he is not a confused coward.

Just like in Nightmare in Dreamland (and therefore Kirby's Adventure), Dedede is presumed to be a villain but turns out to be a misunderstood hero

Sonic is the GOAT

This is something i have actually wanted to know

I always thought Luigi was pretty important since he's one of the only 3 characters left to revive everyone, but I guess using cutscene perspective you could guess he didn't actually do much

You know its crazy how much personality all the characters had in SI. We definitely could have gotten a more robust and less gimmicky and sometimes frustrating World of Light.

Also Pikachu and Samus incapable? Dude they ware cooking the R.O.Bs together like nothing, they even defeated the Samus clones together

In terms of plot importance, I would put Mario and Link one tier higher. They act as leaders of their group that are constantly pushing towards Bowser and keeping him on the run. Peach and Zelda I would also put one tier higher since, while not incredibly active in the story, serve as a driving force for many characters making their overall importance a bit higher.

Hum...I don't agree with a few of them, mainly G&W, Marth, Diddy, IC and maybe Lucas and Fox. - G&W is the main source of energy for the bad guys, so while not shown directly, he's a really important driver of the story as he is crucial to create all ennemies encountered. NO G&W = no bad guys minions = no story. - I agree Marth doesn't have a very important role, but he should be on the same tier as Ike. What you consider him being "confused, scratching his head" is in fact him being annoyed by the hot-temper of Ike and MK who do not think before acting. He's the voice of reason of the group except nobody's listening to him. - I would consider Diddy a tier above. I really don't consider him afraid to be alone. To me he just want Fox and Falco to help rescue DK because that should be their priority, helping people, instead on going on their own agenda and being separated, decreasing their chance of winning. Plus, DK is probably being held wherever Fox and Falco need to go to stop the bad guys, so he's putting them on the right tracks. - Same for Lucas basically, he achieved a lot in the end. I think if Diddy and him are in Weak, then the IC should definitely be too, they bring NOTHING to the scenario. You seem to consider "useless to the story but at least no loss" better than "showing a moment of weakness", but to me, Diddy and Lucas, while having moments when they need help, make the scenario advance way more than the IC, so they should be higher or at least on the same tier. - Finally, seeing how many battles he's in, and him always managing to escape alive or just straight up win, I believe Fox should be higher too.

Nah justice for marth he’s a badasss he didn’t leap off the cliff but he’s the one who led the charge at the castle seeing everything go down then went through the castle HIMSELF and slayed everything dude is a leader and badasss but I do gotta say I loved nesses placement he was always my favorite when I was a kid in subspace now it might honestly be marth 😂 I just love how ness always was so heroic fighting the statue for Lucas and sacrificing himself for Lucas not knowing if he would be alive again or not I got so many chills playing this as a kid and I still do I can’t think of any other complaints about the list it was all very solid

Sheik got Fox out of the Arwing and Peach brought everyone on the same page. It's hard to say if these actions were beneficial, but they brought Fox on the ground and fighting with other heroes side by side. That said, I can't remember who was flying an arwing in that cannon cutscene, and if it wasn't Fox then I guess he doesn't do much from the Duon fight onward. The princesses seem a bit hard to place, to me anyway.

Subspace emissary was so awesome. If we get another smash game in the future I hope we can see something similar, I've heard the reason they don't have all these cool cutscenes in the story anymore is because the subspace cutscenes got leaked, but that's such a lame reason, don't ruin the story because of one or two bad apples

Putting my GOATs Game & Watch and Luigi in Worthless when one is what the Subspace Army is made out of and the other is one of the quad saving the entire Smash Universe is disrespectful. Also, Sonic should be in ELITE for single-handedly saving the entire Smash Universe in the bottom of the ninth

I remember trying to do this ranking in my head a while back. It is actually a somewhat interesting question and I'm surprised no one else did this by now.

I have to defend, or in this case give a few extra points, to my boy Olimar. Sure, he doesn't really do much rather than support the team, but when the Halberd was destroyed by that laser, the Hocotate ship was one of the smaller ships they used to survive the explosion; alongside Samus' gunship, the arwing and the falcon flyer. I know there's plenty of space on the falcon flyer and samus' gunship. But still by that point there were a lot of characters, 25 of them, so of course any ship is of great help to fit so many characters.

Some extra info for Dedede: He was the one that distracted Meta Knight long enough for the Subspace Army to take over the Halberd

Sonic arriving out of nowhere, and casually soloing the final's boss health bar to the middle was pretty cool, not gonna lie.

Kinda inconsistent Hypocritical list. sleeping Yoshi = “capable”, but Mario drives story + leads team ranks “capable”, Pit ranks “pretty important” for saving Mario… because he’s pretty important😅 List goes on…

I mean hell ROB better be in Elite. The mode is named after him. He is THE Subspace Emissary.

I should mention that Both Link and Pit are capable of destroying these Guns that turn others into Trophies like we can see in each cutscene depending on wether Peach or Zelda got captured by Wario. Both Link and Pit have weapons of Divine Origen and that might be a Core reason for them to destroy these Guns in the first place, I know Falco destroyed one with his laser guns too, but that required multiple hits while Link and Pit needed a single *swipe* (Guns are weak in Fantasy Games anyways, just look at Castlevania Aria of sorrow) IMAGINE these two simply destroying everything that way.

Samus's "typical space suit" is called the Varia Suit 😂

Olimar should be in worthless tier for this mode.

I like that you used the wiimote sounds when you put the characters in the tier list

Diddy and Lucas : Are literally one of the characters you see the most in the adventure --> tiered as useless Dedede and Bowser : Are playable literally once or twice --> ELITE Wtf

it’s sad that Isabelle was too late considering she is literally my favorite Nintendo character

Love this video so much!! Regardless if any random fact is wrong, I just love the format and the idea behind it :D Subbed!!

I just question how sonic was about to avoid the first blast. Honestly i would’ve loved to see a DLC story mode in which we got to see more of how Sonic, Snake and some of the other characters were doing. Maybe even add Toon link

I get that not everyone knows a lot about Metroid but man it hurt when you called the Varia suit “her regular space suit”

The relation between Lucas and Pokemon Trainer is probably my favourite out of everyone. Lucas being scared of Wario thus going with the pokemon trainer and he was fine with it, pokemon trainer helping Lucas get revenge of Wario, Lucas in return helping pokemon trainer get Ivysaur and Charizard, and Lucas clinging on to pokemon trainer when it seems like they will fall to their doom made kid me cry a little

Sonic being placed in a low tier even though he is the only one to touch Tabuu outside of gameplay is a funny thought to me

the real question is how Sonic survived the Throphy wave the first time. my headcanon is that he saw what was going on when some flickies were being turned into trophies, and ran to little planet to time travel to the future, after that attack was over.

Olimar does pilot his ship and at the very least one other passenger through the barrage of fire so I guess that’s more than worthless Pain tho I really wish Olimar was written better

How are peach and Zelda in the same tier as Luigi. He did nothing, while getting Zelda and peach back were the goal for a good third of the emissary. Also, they actually know how to get stuff done.

I was thinking Sonic is Elite after saving literally everyone from being turned into trophies, and the only character that damaged Tabuu

I feel bad for Luigi.

12:30 Still looking back that was one of the most epic scenes in all of subspace emmissary, seeing Sonic save everyone.

genuinely seeing Sonic save the day in Subspace emissary genuinely made me really happy back when I played Subspace for the first time 😭 as I was very big Sonic fan at the time and I still am a very big Sonic fan to this day

My headcanon is that Sonic was in Tabuu's realm this whole time fighting against various forms of Tabuu

I thought the Wii Remote speaker sounds for each character was a neat addition.

Without king dedede everyone would be dead
