Uncanny Valley is IUEO now and the subjective version has been split; cleaning up misuse and ZCE in the process


* Though the Halloween special is mainly a lighthearted filler episode, some of Bowser's Halloween decorations ''definitely'' venture into the UncannyValley. Especially the Koopa animatronic with a Jigglypuff for its head.

*** Dark Link. When Link activates his Ascent Mode, he transforms into a form that perfectly reflects his inner madness. All of his abilities are amplified as a result, to the point where he can ''physically damage trophies and draw blood.'' Since Link is the only known trophy who can do this, this arguably makes him more dangerous than villains like Ganon or Ridley, and is only held back by his loyalty to them.

** Ridley: Though little is known about him, what ''is'' known about Ridley is that he is one sadistic Smasher, reveling in watching his enemies suffer. Ganondorf also infused him with DNA from Bowser, Lucario ''and'' Link, meaning he inherits Bowser's strength and durability, Lucario's ability to deal more damage with the more pain he receives and Link's ability to dismantle and rip trophies apart. These abilities make him an almost unstoppable force to be reckoned with.

* Matrix manipulation. As the matrix of a trophy is essentially what keeps them alive, having it [[DangerousForbiddenTechnique tampered with]] is nothing short of a cruel, painful death. Though lessened by the fact that [[spoiler: Fox returns in Brawl after dying in Melee, and the return of Mewtwo and Dr. Mario in the Fourth World]], the fact that it could be so easily exploited in the past is unnerving.
