You know you're in for a fight when the game prompts you to send up to 6 characters to fight this guy.

Just when you think you can win, here come those butterfly wings.

Tabuu first scene in a nutshell: I'm tabuu now die

Those wings on intense difficulty really did me in.

I love the beginning of this song, sounds like you've truly reached the final boss. One of the coolest final battle themes ever!

Tabuu: Competitors trying to defeat nintendo. Master Core: Nintendo destroying itself.

NOT THE BUTTERFLY WINGS!!! ANYTHING BUT THE BUTTERFLY WINGS!!! HERE! I'VE GOT CANDY!!! JUST LEAVE ME ALONE!!!

I consider Tabuu the true final boss of super smash bros. The subspace emissary showed that Tabuu rules subspace as a god, but isn’t literally a god, like Galeem and Dharkon. Many final bosses are gods these days and it gets a little cliché. Tabuu’s spirit was captured in the world of light, but with subspace, can easily conquer light and dark. If fighters from the cast can do it, Tabuu can do it. With light and dark conquered in his hands, Tabuu would have worked his way up to being a powerful being instead of starting off as one, like Galeem and Dharkon. Tabuu also had many bosses in his possession, and his army was enormous. If a new adventure mode happened with Galeem, Dharkon and Tabuu as bosses, it’d be fitting to see Galeem and Dharkon apart of the subspace army and Tabuu being the final boss. In my eyes, Tabuu meets the requirements of a final boss, as he is not a god or anything, but simply a powerful enemy who became an evil. Him also not being revealed until the very end adds on to this. He is mysterious and can do many things. Tabuu also has a lot of suspense coming to his arrival. Even when you are in subspace, you still have to do the great maze. Unlike every other boss in SSB history, i view Tabuu as the only boss capable of conquering light and dark, as well as making an enormous army. TL;DR: Tabuu is the perfect final boss for super smash bros 6 imo, even acknowledging the presence of Galeem and Dharkon

it sucks that smash 4 isnt going to have a story line :// would have been really cool to see megaman, pacman, and little mac take place in it

Probably the most raging boss of my childhood

It scared me when this guy somehow managed to KO me when I has 0% on my meter with some of the strongest characters in the game.

This guy has his very own dimension, extracts dimensional energies and converts them to lasers, binding chains, energy blast, and is able to transform into anything and grow into an enormous size. He teleports constantly and sometimes leaves an explosive aftermath. Need I mention the expansive attack that covers a wide area and ends the battle before it even begins? Most of all, he orchestrated everything from behind the scenes. Yeah, Tabuu is definitely one of the most underrated character.

best final boss music there would ever be, SSB forever!

If i was a wrestler I'd use this as entrance music

Sonic came to the rescue!! :) all together now!!

My favorite song in SSBB. The guitar is just plain awesome, from the opening riff that pretty much says how Bad-ass Tabuu is, to the fast paced awesomeness that pretty much says this will be epic. This song is AWESOME!

Nobody knows the real mean of the fear until you see the Butterfly wings of Tabuu

I still remember when I bought Brawl only because it had Sonic in it, and at the end, I became a Nintendo fan. But this game has a special place in my heart, there won't be a single smash game that can make what brawl did

1:20 gave me goosebumps and i cried manly tears

It's doctor Manhattan!

Tabuu is much more difficult than Master Core.

I love the 0:33 to 1:01

The thanos of nintendo

*Block + Down = pown against that stupid wing thing*

Anyone else want an actual story sequel to the Subspace Emissary?

This music, music made for a game, is better than some musical artists o.O

Best final boss of all times. And dat music.

THAT FUKING SYNTH KEBOARD SOUND SO FUKING BADASS

There should've been a smash map of Tabuu's lair called Subspace Core.

Who's the final boss now, huh? WHO'S THE FINAL BOSS NOW?!

The only boss to ever take on every single smash hero and villain and actually give' em trouble I miss playing this game so much...

Play at 0.5 speed. You will pop of how awesome it will sounds..

This is definetly better than master core! I want another story line in super smash bros!!!

Still the King of Super Smash Bros. Super iconic.

Brings back memories

This guy was truly the meaning of doom, manipulated characters, and easily turned everyone into trophies. I know Galeem and Dharkon (hope spelled right) could do this also but Tabuu was the first brutal enemy we had.

Tabuu's theme tells you how badass he is

That wing attack on intense difficulty. Killed me in boss rush mode SO MANY TIMES.

beating tabuu on intense difficulty using nothing but a wii remote is the greatest gaming achievement of all time

curse you tabuu's golden chain attack!!

This theme is in ssb4

My ballot vote went to Tabuu. After all, what better way to bring in a villain AND a non-Mii representative for Smash Bros. itself?

best Smash track to ever come out of the franchise.

shoutout to those who beat this monster on a wiimote

One of the best boss themes in the Nintendo games!

God this was a hard boss first time playing... and it still is for me

Remember, we'll never get another subspace ever again.

One of the hardest bosses ever but makes a good battle

Thats the best boss and boss battle theme i've ever heard it fits tabuu soooo well! it sounds like a battle vs some sort of god of destruction and im currently battling him on my wii and it always makes me hyped!!!!!!!!!!!! Tabuu your'e the best!!!!!!!!!!! :3! Edit in 2022: pls tell my younger self to not comment cringe like this 😭

What I love most about tabuu is that he represents maturity and change in a young one,to the extent where they are practically soulless clogs in a machine, I wouldn’t even be surprised if there where endless tabuu’s across the multiverse that take place in a child’s imagination, so technically even if you beat your tabuu their are still those who haven’t beaten theirs, turning into the one thing that every child and Nintendo fear the most, a mature adult

Tabuu. You absolute f*cking nightmare of a boss.

For the next time you are battling Master Hand in Super Smash Brothers Ultimate, never forget that it is merely a puppet on strings to a much higher power.

I hate the part when he like tries to use his force fields... (I'm that cutscene where sonic stops that attack)

Tabuu...the only final boss that I feel ever truly respected me...and one of my greatest achievements to THIS day was beating him on Intense difficulty. Those who have never faced Tabuu ah he can't be THAT insane walks into him in subspace Emissary having NO clue how evil he is...get one shot by one of his TELEPORTS and they are like oh wait..maybe he IS a big deal and then you see how much else he does along with his lore...defeating him was like the beginning of an entirely new era for me.

Remind me the time that I favorited this video in 2009.

this guy is hard to beat

Does his theme sound like some sort of techno remix of old popular rock songs to anyone else?

Those damn wings give me ptsd

I remember I was with my friend in the maze then we FINNALY beat it Then I saw the cutscene THEN THE SONG BEST! ENDING....EVER!!!!!!

Anyone here in 2018? :)

Its My Favorite song

who's this weird naked guy? Oh neat he has wings and kills all my favorite characters

Am I the only one who thinks this is a multi-man melee and metal battle mix?

Master Core got nothing on Tabuu!

fits perfectly for a terraria boss theme :3

i dont know why but i love the Super smash bro's Storyline.

Every time I fight Tabuu I always make sure to finish him when the music at 1:14 plays bc it just feels so cinematic and satisfying

whos watching in 2016?

How do people make such good final boss music?

One word Best final boss music ever

Best fucking final boss in a fighting game ever

This man is king of multiman listen musice and comparate with ssbm multiman 1 ost

1:15-1:34 That sounds like something from The House of the Dead.

I like the way it sounds like a heartbeat where it starts slow, but gets faster the more you fight Tabuu. Really signifies how hard he is.

0:35 Is it just me, or does he always do the "Red Rings of Death" when the song reaches that part?

This oddly reminds me of terraria

i want to pull out brawl just to fight tabuu.... but then i'd have to fight through the whole sub space to do it because my wii is gone and replaced by my wii U FAK SMASH BROS WIIU Y U NO LET ME GO BACK AND FIGHT HIM

Dharkon: Is this a JOKE? TABUU: *you're the joke today*

This is my favorite boss theme of all video games

i ve Win with Fox. 0% and the Hardest Difficultly. I died 0 times ^-^

I wish metal mario was his own character and had a re designed stage with this as its theme :/

Aaron Mendaros Tabuu is the leader of the subspace army of primids. Tabuu cannot leave subspace thats why it created the army to capture áreas into subspace to drain thier power. Tabuu captured master hand, the king of the trophyverse to collect all trophies. Master hand got assistance from ganondorf, bowser and wario

That reminds me, one time me and a friend of mine were fighting Tabuu and the trophy stand came up. My friend threw it at tabuu when he had low health but while Tabuu was doing his huge head laser move thing. What happened was that Tabuu just disappeared and there was no death sequence, the screen just immediately started fading to black. Never have I laughed that hard before in my life. XD

Loved this music back in 2014

i loved fighting him as mario and sonic

This sounds like something out of the endgame of mother 3. Did one of the composers of that game make this?

LOOK AT THIS BADASS OVER HERE

+AaronMendaros Tabuu is the leader of the subspace army of primids. He cant leave subspace so he captured Master hand, the king of the trophyverse to collect all trophies. Master hand got assistance from bowser, ganondorf and wario.

A BOSS WITH NO NEEDS OF A BACK STORY

This is without a doubt, THE BEST boss battle song I've EVER heard!!!!!!! :)

Super Smash Bros. Brawl - Final - Tabuu

This homie was intense

I love this song

Here before one million.

What made Boss Battles Intense so brutal was the fact that there were no continues, and of the few times you make it to Tabuu, you always choke and get hit by one of the off-waves. And you can’t kill him before he uses it at least once. And top it all off with him always being the last fight, so practicing against him is difficult. Overall, him and Duon had the most annoying attacks in terms of trying to dodge.

This song is so badass when you're playing boss battle on intense and you finally get to Tabuu!

Just.......EPIC!!!!!

If only Tabuu made Master Core's core his brain and tuned Master Core's skin into armor!!!

We got a badass over here.
