In the beginning, there was nothing.

Then, there was Galeem. The embodiment of pure light. A celestial being that was mesmerizing to look at.

It was Galeem that gave life to the multiverse, creating all dimensions and everything in it. Stars erupted into existence, galaxies formed from nothing and planets rose from cosmic dust.

But Galeem's most desired creation was the Smash Stone, an interdimensional crystal that harnessed all creation in the multiverse and sprung new universes to life.

However, when Galeem was created, all of reality had to balance itself. Where there is good, there must also be evil. Where there is hope and love, there is also chaos and hatred. Where there is light… there is also darkness.

Thus, Dharkon, Galeem's eternal foe and embodiment of darkness, rose from the malevolent depths of the multiverse. He sought only one purpose: obliterate everything Galeem had given birth to.

Dharkon brought forth the realm of Subspace, a dimension in which only darkness and vast voids and abysses inhabit. In this realm, he created the being Tabuu, founder of the Subspace Army, and Master Core, a being made from the ruins of destroyed planets: a substance called Swarm. Dharkon made the two interdimensional beings swear that they would never reveal their creator.

And so, a war began. The war between light and darkness. Each of the celestial forms created their own soldiers: white hands that served their masters well. Galeem was responsible for creating Master Hands that wielded great power, while Dharkon created Crazy Hands that shared the same amount of chaos and destruction as Dharkon himself did.

This battle lasted for millennia as each and every dimension travelled down their own path, as both heroes and villains arose in each one. But a turning point in the war changed the fate of each and every universe.

Dharkon sought to destroy the very source of life in the multiverse: the Smash Stone. His Crazy Hands launched a massive assault on the magnificent crystal, with the Master Hands putting up a valiant effort to defend the Stone.

The defense failed. Dharkon was successful in blowing the Smash Stone to bits, with each fragment opening up dimensional rifts. Each fragment landed in one of the dimensions… and those who would discover them would seal their fate as champions of all dimensions.

The war between Galeem and Dharkon still rage on, with Galeem seeking to recover the Stone fragments, restore his creation and set the multiverse back on its current course. Dharkon, however, wishes to send the multiverse spinning out of control so that every spark of light will be extinguished.

But little do the celestial beings know that is not the force of light or darkness that will triumph, but an army of heroes and villains alike that will set down their own paths…
