The exact nature of This World is a mystery. It exists in a limbo between "reality", the world you and I live in, and "fantasy", where turtles fly, young men can transform into beasts, and things that are thought impossible here happen each and every day.
The ruler of This World is Master Hand and his assistant, Crazy Hand. No one knows where these beings came from. Perhaps they were people like us who so desired to leave reality that they discovered This World and never wanted to leave. Whatever the case, they now exist in This World as its leaders. The Master Hand embodies creation: This World was formless, a mere mingling of imagination, until he created order, formed its many realms, ordained its rules. The Crazy Hand thrives on the thirst of destruction, eternally amused by seeing This World being torn appart, like a child is entertained by knocking down his block city. This balance must always be kept, or else This World will either grow too massive or be completely destroyed.
After the Master Hand created This World, he sought to populate it with characters equal to its creativity. Since it is believed he came from our world, it is then said that he was inspired by the video game company Nintendo. Therefore, he modeled his people after his beloved game characters: Mario, Link, Pikachu, Kirby, Samus... He crafted them as trohpies and brought them to life. The Crazy Hand, however, was not merely entertained by this. It was him who suggested that these trophies be made to fight each other. And so, the fights that are famous in This World came to be.
This went on for 5 years in our time.
Then, another being discovered This World. Like the hands, he was thought to have come from our world. Unlike them, however, he did not come here to relish in its creativity. Instead, he sought to control it, to make the fantasy of This World become more like reality. He began this by forcibly taking control of the Master Hand, like an adult tells a child to grow up and leave his imagination behind, and manipulated him into begining the destruction of This World. He first took over the Ancient Island, making its leader, R.O.B., swear allegance to him, or else be destroyed. From here, he began experimenting with the concept of breaching dimensions, like the hands did so long ago. Eventually, he did it: he created the Subspace Bomb, a weapon capable of sending anything within its blast radius into the world of Subspace, a "highway" of sorts between This World and reality. With this weapon in his hands, this being, Tabuu, begain his conquest.
And thus, the Subspace Adventure began.
Many heroes joined forces to fight the thread. Plumbers fought alongside angels, foxes with monkeys, Dreamland knights with arua Pokémon. In the end, they all joined forces to combat Tabuu together. They freed the Master Hand from Tabuu's control and sent the being back to our world.
But there were sacrifices to this victory. R.O.B., the Ancient Minister, lost it all. His island, his people, were all lost to the final Subspace explosion, a realm that could no more be reached. However, there was an even more dire occurance from this event.
While experimenting with breaching the dimensions, Tabuu made an unintentional discovery: He found realms, creations, beyond what the Master Hand created. They were not inspired by the hand's love for Nintendo. Rather, they were... "Third-parties", as it were. Tabuu casted this discovery aside as nothing, a move he would later regret, as it would be by two of these "creations", Solid Snake and Sonic the Hedgehog, that his downfall would come.
After these events, all that remained of the island these experiments were done on was an ominous void. From here, other elements of these other fantasy relms came pouring into This World. Shadow Moses Island suddenly appeared, as did Green Hill Zone. Two more beings, Grey Fox and Shadow the Hedgehog, came into existance in This World. Despite this, the hands sought to bring normality back to This World they created, hoping that the void would not bring more consequences of Tabuu's actions.
It has been a year since Tabuu's reign of terror fell, and nothing has become of that mysterious portal in This World.
However, all of that is about to change...
