Update #191: Trophy Stands

[parrothead]

Among the many trophies are some representing the enemies that appear in The Subspace Emissary.


Like this.

But they cannot be gotten easily.

You must turn the enemies directly into trophies to get them! The item that is needed to do this is a trophy stand.



Basically, it’s the stand the trophy rests on.

When an enemy appears, you need to significantly weaken it.


Pay attention to the damage meter at the top-left corner
of the screen.

If you’re lucky enough to have a trophy stand, throw it at your enemy after you’ve weakened it!


If it goes well...


It will hit with a thud!


And it becomes a trophy!

Now you get the trophy. Whoa! What’s happened?! You could say this is only possible because of the setting of the Smash world.


You can then view that trophy in your trophy gallery!

Perhaps the trophy descriptions will give you some insight into the backstory of The Subspace Emissary...

Of course, you can also do this to get boss trophies.



Yes! I’m definitely gonna get you today!

Since you can’t get these trophies if you don’t have a trophy stand, pure skill is not enough—it requires a little luck, too.

I’ll make it so you’ll somehow be allowed to fight the bosses even after you’ve already cleared the game, so it’s OK if you don’t hunt all these trophies down in the first battle.

ehhh. Not much too say, but Tei will be pleased with something.

[mopinks]

this is a pretty fun way to earn trophies, by god. approved!

[Flip]

Cool but it was already known. Nice to see Rayquaza in a battle scene though. And the Shadow Bugs thing is funky... I smell a bit of Metroid Prime's plot entering the franchise ;p

Mario: "MAMA-MIA! It's a Link! He's-a been absorbed by the Shadow Bugs!"
Dark Link: "...."
Kirby: *points to Zelda*
Mario: "Aye-yi-yi! Why didn't you-a rescue her? You good for nothing piece of--AH!"
(Dark Link and Dark Zelda wish to battle)

Trophymon style sounds great, Rayquaza confirmed as a boss, Boss Rush mode is in.

Good update.

[Da Robot]

Yeah, there's really not much to say but it's an interesting feature and I'm happy it's in the game. I'm also happy to finally get confirmation on the Rayquaza boss fight, though Rayquaza looks a bit odd fighting on the ground.

I also like the idea of the replayable boss battle once you beat the game.

Also Parrothead you forget this chunk of text from the Dojo.

Wha...? Primids launch smash attacks....?

Gimme Action Replay or something. I wanna play as a Primid.

[8bitretroshit]

Rayquaza looks so damn shiney. Also replayable boss fights = retry on very easy until you got the trophy.

[Da Robot]

I just relised this now, Peach and Kirby are in Skyworld. Maybe that's where they go after they fall off the Halberd?

[Fryguy64]

I don't doubt for a second that we will get a Boss Arena mode, as Sakurai stuffed them in so many Kirby games.

This is a cool update. We get a nifty trophy, we find out the name of that weird ram thing, and we finally have 100% confirmation that Rayquaza is a boss. Awesome.

[TV Eye]

Gotta catch 'em all, it's you and me. I know it's my destiny!

Anyways, cool update. Thumbs up!

[wanderingshadow]

I like this. Trophy collecting will require some skill along with luck. Not that the lottery is terrible, but at least I will be able to capture some of my own trophies. I wonder if it works on items as well.

[Wildcat]

I like this idea. I think it'll make trophy hunting far more exciting.

[MasterZ]

Trophy Stand, GO! Well, this is cool.

[Manspeed]

tSsE is like Mario meets Kirby meets Zelda II meets Metroid meets DKC meets Pokemon. Ain't that amazing?
