Notable Dark Beings
False Bowser
False Bowser is the Dark Being version of Bowser that first appears in Super Smash Bros. Brawl's Subspace Emissary.

False Peach

After the Shadow Bugs cover Peach's trophy, they turn Peach into False Peach, if the player saves Peach in the begining of the game when fighting Petey Piranha. While Mario and Pit are running, False Peach attempts on shooting them however right before she is able to, Link destroys the Dark Cannon. False Peach angrily looks at Link and his partner Yoshi and they fight. Link and Yoshi win the battle, and after that, the False Peach trophy turns back into the normal Peach trophy. Mario saw this however and thinking Link is the enemy because he attacked Peach, Mario tries to attack Link. Link quickly moves out of the way. Peach's trophy is later taken away by King Dedede.
Later on in the story, Peach and Zelda's trophies are taken aboard the Halberd locked up in cages. When Snake, Meta Knight and Lucario enter the room where their trophies are, Shadow Bugs come in and turn both Peach and Zelda into False Peach and False Zelda. The three battle and soon the two False Princesses are turned back.

Like Peach, Zelda's trophy is taken on the Halberd and Snake, Meta Knight and Lucario also fight False Zelda as well as False Peach.
False Diddy

When Fox and Diddy were walking by The Swamp they were ambushed by Bowser and Diddy was shot by Bowser with the Dark Cannon turning Diddy into a trophy.

Bowser leaves and the group looks back at the False Diddy who they find out is gathering more Shadow Bugs. False Diddy then grows to an enormous size.
