Bosses in Adventure Mode[]
Giga Bowser[]
Giga Bowser does that same attacks as Bowser's Final Smash version Giga Bowser does. He has very good defensive play, very powerful attacks and great stamina. However, he is very slow and hardly moves from his spot. His attacks involve using Ice power, Fire Power, Electric Power and even Black Magic. He mostly uses his claws to attack. More about the character can be seen here.
Ganon[]
Ganon is Ganondorf's Final Smash. He uses the exact same moveset as Ganondor'f Final Smash. He is very fast, in both terms of speed and attacks, and mostly focuses on offense rather than defense. His attacks are motly about Black Magic, similarly to Ganondorf. They are not as powerful as Giga Bowser's. Ganon will also use many projectiles and chareg at the opponent for close attacks at the same time. He is very dangerous and veyr difficult to defeat.
Dark Dedede[]
Although Dark Dedede never appeared in any Kirby game, he appears in the Story Mode of the game, when Dark Matter poisons his body. Dark Dedede is slightly larger than King Dedede and is completely black with red eyes and Dark Matter attached to his stomach, who serves as an attack and can bite opponents, as well as shoot various projectiles. Dark Dedede doesn't use his Hammer in most of his attacks, rather than darkness related attacks and projectiles. He is easier to defeat than Giga Bowser and Ganon cause of his size. However, he is lighter than King Dedede himself and much faster. He can also teleport.
Psychic Armored Mewtwo[]
Psychic Armored Mewtwo only appears in the anime and does not appear as Mewtwo's Final Smash. In spite of that, he has hos own moveset, completely original and different from Mewtwo's. Psychic Armored Mewtwo is Mewtwo equiped with a powerful armor. His attacks involve many projectiles and psychokinesis. He will try to grab opponents and ultimately KO' them indirectly. His attacks are not very powerful, but he is very fast, he can float and jump very high and his attacks can combo with each other quite well. He is the rarest of all 5.
Meta Ridley[]
Meta Ridley's moveset, mechanics and animation remains the same as in Brawl. Meta Ridley's size is his original, big size, unlike Ridley. He mostly remains on one spot, usually on the edges of the stage, where he attacks with his claws, tail and fire breath. Occassionally, he will glide through the stage, attacking with more powerful and versitile moves, many of them taken from Brawl. His attacks are very quick and is also quick himself. However, some of them are rather weak. He uses a lot of projectiles in his moveset.
Trophies[]
Whenever the player clears Adventure Mode, they are awarded with the character's Entrance Trophy, the trophy which decipts the character's Entrance in each match, with the character that cleared it.
