If Galeem is defeated, Dharkon imprisons it in chains. If Dharkon is defeated, Galeem incinerates its counterpart and engulfs all of reality in light, leaving a blank screen. At the end of the game, if players defeat either Galeem or Dharkon separately, they receive a bad ending. Galeem has a dark counterpart, known as Dharkon, who plans to engulf the universe in darkness and serves as the primary rival to Galeem. Everyone else is hit with snaking yellow beams of light, which imprison them within the eponymous World of Light, before the beams then continue outwards and cover the planet, turning everyone else into spirits. However, it then absorbs the Hands, turning into a black hole, and uses them to unleash a devastating attack, which only Kirby manages to escape from. In the opening, Galeem is commanding a horde of Master Hands against the various playable fighters. Its English name is likely a corruption of the onomatopoeia "gleam," often used in contexts relating to light. Galeem resembles a large sphere of light surrounded by seraph-like wings with shifting colors and patterns on them.


Ultimate, the other being its dark counterpart, Dharkon. Galeem, also known as the Lord of Light, is one of the two main antagonists of World of Light in Super Smash Bros.
