'''Shadow Bugs''' are creatures in the Adventure mode of ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'', The Subspace Emissary, where they appear in cutscenes. They are round, dark balls. The [[Halberd]] stores all of the Shadow Bugs and releases them across the Smash World throughout the story. When many Shadow Bugs form together, they can create [[Primid]]s and other enemies. Additionally, Shadow Bugs can create [[False Character]]s, dark clones of fighters, when they come into contact with [[Trophy (Super Smash Bros. series)|trophies]] of said fighters. Shadow Bugs originate from [[Mr. Game & Watch]], and an unlimited amount can be produced from his body due to his strange properties as a 2D character in a 3D world, according to the Smash Bros. DOJO!!, the official website of the game. When [[Tabuu]] learned of this, he manipulated Mr. Game & Watch to create the [[Subspace Army]], though Mr. Game & Watch himself was not aware of this. The Shadow Bugs are first seen in a cutscene at the [[Midair Stadium]].

In ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]'', Shadow Bugs appear as an Advanced-class support [[spirit (Super Smash Bros. Ultimate)|spirit]], using their previous trophy render. It occupies one support slot and any fighter that uses it will start battles with increased attack power but with 30% damage. The spirit's puppet fighters are four Mr. Game & Watches on the Omega form of the [[Pokémon Stadium]] stage. Aside from the Spirit Board, the spirit may also be available in Beedle's Tent, where it can be purchased for 1,000 Spirit Points.

The mysterious substance inside Mr. Game & Watch can be extracted endlessly. Once Tabuu discovered this, he used Mr. Game & Watch to create the Subspace Army.''
