Dark Top is a big meany. He is, as can be inferred by his name, the dark side of Top. He's that little devil guy that pops up next to Top's shouder, only he's not a devil because that's a stupid religion reference, so instead he's just a darker-colored Top. Despite this, he's quite different from Top, having attempted to take over the world and run evil groups multiple times. His mortal enemy is Light Top, the light side of Top, but at the same time he has to prevent Light Top from dying or he too will die. Usually when he's stuck inside Top with Light Top they'll form a truce of Dark Top will only make Top do petty things like steal cookies.
Top Story Bio
Top’s Dark Side (who knew he had one?) is quite evil. He’s not odd like Top is, but that may be because he’s too busy trying to take over the universe due to him being pure dark. He first split from Light Top when Top went to some planet long, long ago and then later was at Hachacha. After Hachacha, Dark Top went to Popstar or a planet nearby where he ran into Dark Sneezier and together they created Darkcorp. Yeah so time passed and Dark Top got sick of Dark Sneezier and left, strangely enough not too long before Darkcorp was defeated. After that he created Federation of Evil Acquaintances, or FOEA. That featured him, Cackletta, Fawful, Grunty, Sandbag (yes, he was evil), Dark Matter, Missingno., King Boo, and later, Metal Top. Time passed and Metal Top blew up FOEA (betraying them like everyone else) and FOEA ended. Dark Top went into hiding until he stole the Black Chaos Emerald, a Chaos Emerald full of evil, and using the combination of that and the Master Emerald’s power battled Top who had the Choas Emeralds until they merged together, destroying the Black Chaos Emerald. Dark Top was quiet (he had a truce with Light Top) until Cackletta, Fawful and Grunty kidnapped Top and was able to have Dark Top take control of Top. However Dark Top was again defeated and has been stuck in Top since.
History
First Split
When Top went to Mintop while exploring the universe, not long after he left he accidently swallowed a dark liquid which caused his light and dark halves to split. Dark Top immediately ran, while Light Top was knocked out for some reason. Finally free to do things without Light Top to bother him, the first thing he decided to do was to bother Light Top. It seemed Light Top hadn't figured out he had split from Dark Top for some reason, so he hid in Top's Star Ship until they were both in space and Dark Top began to attack him.
The two of them wrestled for a bit until they went careening through a portal and landed at Hachacha; Dark Top caused some trouble at first, but soon after left to go about his evil deeds without Light Top's interference. He left to Popstar, where he came across Dark Sneezier, who had recently robbed the first national bank of Dreamland. (Interesting note, I believe this is before their light halves ever met.) They then did away with a local crime boss, Ab Pacone, and took over his organization.
Darkcorp
After several hostile takeovers--of which Dark Top mostly just watched, as he wasn't good with the world of finance and economies--they formed Darkcorp, an evil megacorporation. Dark Top was the Vice CEO, but paid little to the business side of things and often went around causing chaos and destruction for The Yoshi Bodyguards after he found out his light side had joined them; strangely enough, Dark Sneezier's light side had as well.
At one point, Dark Top came up with a plan to merge with Light Top and then persuade Top to use a Hypno Beam to take control of the YB. At the last moment, however, his plan messed up and Top had to sacrifice himself. He really didn't, though, and was just teleported to Dreamland, while Dark Top went back to Darkcorp, which was planning to roboticize Popstar. The plan ended up failing due to Metal Top, who had joined Darkcorp, betraying them, and the plan failed. As time went on, things became shaky for the corporaton, and before it even dissolved, Dark Top left, taking his wealth from his personal banking account for his own plans...
Federation of Evil Acquaintances
- Main Article: Federation of Evil Acquaintances
Dark Top began to do some research on the YB and found several other villains who had failed in plots against them, so he contacted them all and began a new evil group known as FOEA, or Federation of Evil Acquaintances, which had Cackletta, Fawful, Gruntilda Winkybunion, Sandbag, Dark Matter, Missingno., and King Boo; later, Metal Top joined, though Dark Top was suspicious. Unlike Darkcorp, this group focused more on taking over worlds and evilness than business and stuff. Generally, however, their group was overshadows by another group of evil that had taken shape, the Confederation of Universal Evil. Dark Top didn't let this stop him, however, and decided to use this overshadowing to his adventage.
Somehow, FOEA gained possession of Yoshi. Apparently, no one was paying attention to him. Instead of using him as a ransom like everyone else does, he gave him to COUE as a gift, knowing this would distract the YB long enough for FOEA to easily kidnap Peach. Once they had Peach, they left Star World to go take over a planet much easier to invade--Animal World, the world of Animal Crossing. Once they had that in their grasp, they used a powerful artifact, the Shadow Gyroid, to threaten The Mushroom Kingdom--surrender, or Peach would be possessed. There was no response, so Dark Top had the Shadow Gyroid possess Peach and that somehow gave FOEA control over The Mushroom Kingdom.
FOEA returned to Star World sans King Boo--Bloo, who was working for King Boo, suggested he stay on Animal World in case the plan fails. Dark Top liked the idea, so they stayed while the rest of FOEA went to their newly taken-over kingdom. Then, Dark Top sent some members of FOEA (including Metal Top) to steal the Beanstar from The Beanbean Kingdom, but apparently the YB stopped them and then came to FOEA's castle; FOEA was then defeated, and Dark Top remerged with Light Top.
Now inside Top, Dark Top could observe all that Top did, but this will not be stated in this article, as it is in Top's article. FOEA later returned and was able to give Dark Top the power to control Top, but Oshy was able to foil this plan by finding a cure; luckily for Dark Top, the cure caused him to split from Light Top and he continued to run FOEA.
When The Dark Ages came to Star World, FOEA left for Rareworld to continue their operations there. They made a new base at Gruntilda's Lair, and Dark Top located a Dark Chaos Emerald, but when some YBs consisting of at least Top and Oshy appeared, Dark Top tried to blast them out with it, but accidently destroyed the lair and Top and Oshy got the Dark Chaos Emerald. FOEA then left once more, now moving to a space station, but when Metal Top stole the Beanstar they somehow had from them, FOEA finally split, and Dark Top went into hiding.
Dark Chaos
Dark Top began to keep tabs on the YB, planning to take back the Dark Chaos Emerald, and decided to make his move when Metal Sonic attempted to take over the Mushroom Kingdom with the seven Chaos Emeralds. He snuck on board his ship when the YB went up there, and when they were about to try and use the Dark Chaos Emerald, Dark Top made his move as Ninja Dark Top and stole it. He then used it to telepot away; unfortunately, he telepoted right between Knuckles the Echidna and Slike F. Elion, who were fighting over the Master Emerald.
He got both punched and slashed at the same time, and dropped the Dark Chaos Emerald. It landed on the Master Emerald, and the Chaos Creature absorbed it, becoming dark. It then zoomed off into space, leaving Dark Top there to hide. Soon after, however, it returned, bringing back chaos energy with it; he jumped into the energy and absorbed it himself, turning into a hyper form. He tried to blast the YB to pieces, but his light side used the Chaos Emeralds' positive energy to turn super and they fought out in space. Although Light Top couldn't win, he was able to force them to merge back into Top, after which they decided to make a truce.
Return of FOEA
For the next year or so, Dark Top and Light Top remained in Top, but when Top was possessed by a dark spirit named Darkost, it and Dark Top joined up, and Darkost left enough darkness inside Top for Dark Top to take control. Although it seemed to work at first, the YB came with a star jewel and trapped Darkost inside, causing the darkness to leave Top. Dark Top and Light Top began to fight for control until Top was kidnapped by Fawful, Cackletta and Grunty.
These three then used some leftover darkness from Darkost to give Dark Top control of Top again, then Dark Top announced the return of FOEA. They were only able to get Dark Matter and Missingno. back, and also got Dark Meta Knight to help. They sent Dark Matter to possess King Dedede and have him proclaim all Kirbys to be jailed, so the YB went there to stop him; Dark Top appeared, revealing to them that FOEA was coming back, then left them to fight Metal O2 as he went to begin his actual plan.
The star jewel that held Darkost was given to Wiggly Jr., a wiggler whose father had fought Darkost years ago. FOEA attacked Wiggly Jr.'s home and stole the jewel, then went to kidnap Yoshi. Once they had both of these, they waited for the YB to come and then trapped them in a cage; they then used Missingno. to allow Darkost to escape and then possess Yoshi. Although things looked bleak, the YB somehow escaped and began to attack the villains; in the end, the YB fought Cackletta, Darkost and Dark Top, but FOEA lost and Dark Top lost his total control over Top. He and Light Top ended their truce and began to attack one another again inside Top.
Evil Dreams
Dark Top would return later in the year when Cackletta, Fawful and Grunty gained the ability to take control of others' dreams; they used this to split Dark and Light Top, and Dark Top kidnapped Light Top. Knuckles, who was at Top's House (due to the recent stealing of the Master Emerald), was also kidnapped when he tried to stop them. They then made it appear Dark Top was bruised and damaged, and threw him back into Top's House so that he could try and steal the Magic Paintbrush. He was able to, but not without the heroes finding out, and they soon came to Tubba Blubba's Castle.
However, there were a large number of other villains there as well, and a huge battle began. Dark Top fought Light Top, of course, and in the end he decided to blast him away by mixing the Fountain of Dreams Star Rod with the Magic Paintbrush and blasting him away. They then activated a machine that allowed them to take control of the entire planets' dreams, so the YB (and non-YBs) escaped. Dark Top remained on Star World while the other villains went to get more items for their plan, but it was obvious that Cackletta was running this plan, not Dark Top.
Eventually the heroes returned to try and save Star World, but Dark Top did no fighting against them; instead, they were defeated by Slike, and Dark Top was put in charge of guarding their cage. Unfortunately for him, he was blasted by a bomb from Parnky and knocked out until all the heroes had escaped. There was to be another huge battle when suddenly the machine went haywire and Metal Top appeared, revealing to have taken control of it. During its monologue, however, Dark and Light Top deactivated the machine; Metal Top escaped, and the castle and everything fell apart. Dark Top, however, was able to escape merging with Light Top.
A New Plan
After disappearing, Dark Top left Star World and landed on the planet Popworld. He found the planet was ruled by a tyrant named Blork, and began to rally the people and gain their trust. After enough time went by, he accomplished a coup and knocked Blork off his seat of power. The people made Dark Top their new ruler, and Dark Top quickly began the process of bringing the planet up to the technological standards of other planets. It was then he began to work on a new plan: Use the cruddy planet he was on to take over Star World!
He planned to make an alliance between Popworld and Star World, then get Bowser's assistance for later. He would find some way to make the planet dislike Star World so he could declare war, then fake his death so he could sneak off to Star World. While they're busy with Popworld, he could then deliver a surprise attack on them at Star World with Bowser. Dark Top began to set his plan in motion, meeting with Team TOT and forming an alliance with Star World. He then asked the characters he had invited to Popworld, Light Top, Oshy, Topper, Sneezier, Sera, Power Box, Sunset, [[Subsourian, Scorch and Tron, if they would help him with something.
Since he took over Popworld, Blork had been causing trouble amongst the towns with the loyalists, those still loyal to Blork. Dark Top realized he could use this to his adventage and asked the heroes if they could take care of him, although they were unable to defeat him. During the following week, Dark Top went to Star World to collect newspapers from the past year or so to catch up on the events that were going on, though he also snuck away to speak with Bowser about his plan. Bowser agreed, and Dimentio then appeared, wanting in on the plan. Dark Top refused at first, but then realized he could have Dimentio lead Team TOT away from him.
Dark Top went through the newspapers and noticed a recent section about The Dark Perforation and Metal Top's defeat. He then heard a crash elsewhere in the castle he was in on Popworld, and found someone had left him a gift: a cannon that could fire a small black hole leading to anywhere in the universe. He realized he could use this to go find Metal Top, expecting it to still be around since it would never be defeated. He did just that, going out to the former site of the Dark Perforation Castle, and finding the broken-down parts of Metal Top. He took it, rebuilt it, and made it loyal to him.
He told Dimentio to show up after Dark Top announced Team TOT has allies and scramble its circuits so they would fight it, implanting a virus in Metal Top that would activate a wave to disable all machinery. Once this had happened, Dark Top had complete control over what machinery could work and what couldn't. With this, he was able to bring in Kienstrom, whom he used to make the public think he was doing something. In reality, he had Kienstrom build a powerful war tank and then paid him lots of money.
Dark Top activated the machinery on the planet, then gave a speech to the people, blaming Star World for the recent events and declaring war on them. He never had any intention of winning, however, and left to a nearby city. There, he appeared in public to supposedly boost morale, but instead sent out a fake Dark Top in disguise and allowed this fake to be shot by Dimentio. Once everyone thought he was dead, he left to Star World and hid out in Bowser's Castle for a couple weeks until it was time. After the SWDF brought democracy to Popworld and had elections, Dimentio, disguised as Meson, was the winner.
After revealing himself, heroes of Star World rushed to Popworld to fight him, allowing Bowser and Dark Top to take over The Mushroom Kingdom in their absence. When the heroes returned, they trapped them in an energy shield, and Dark Top explained his plan to them. He knew that they would have frozen Light Top to try and prevent him from dying, which put him out of the way, except Light Top randomly crashed through the ceiling and fell on Dark Top! He and Bowser began to fight Light Top, nearly winning until Kamek and Kammy ran in, saying Dimentio had betrayed them. Bowser and Light Top were then trapped in compact magic shields.
Dark Top revealed that he had planned to betray Bowser all along, and brought out a modified Metal Top, now modified into a mech. He zoomed off to the Koopa Kingdom to take it over, defeating the minions and Koopalings in the castle. He also fought against Bobbington, a Koopaling from The 1576 Kingdom Novel. After they were defeated, however, Light Top appeared, wanting one final fight. Dark Top agreed, but during the fight Light Top explained that Dark Top can't go full throttle because if he kills Light Top, Dark Top dies and his plan's a ruin. Light Top, on the other hand, can, because if he kills Dark Top, Light Top dies, but Dark Top's plan is still ruined. Realizing he can't win with Light Top around, the two merged back into the one and only Top Mon Hit.
Non-Canon Appearances
Nintendo Anecdote 3: Not Really a Trilogy
Dark Top appeared early on in NA3 with a Grand Star. Subsourian fought him for it, but he used the Grand Star's energy to be invincible. However, Wario, who was also there looking for treasure, knocked the Grand Star upside-down, causing Dark Top to fall off and lose his invincibility. He was attacked, and disappeared. He later reappeared in City Trial to fight Squell, Kreafty, Danny and Terrible Wheelie in a City Trial game over a Jiggy. Dark Top was able to get the Hydra in it, but in the end, Squell was the one to win.
Light Top
Light Top seems to be more similar to Top than Dark Top is, given Light Top influences Top more often. Light Top is supposed to be more serious than Top, but this is usually ignored. Generally in the Top article, Light Top is referred to as Top unless it is important to note the difference. They have made a truce since the last time they had split to remain inside Top and influence him from there. Dark Top seems to see Light Top as more of a rival than an enemy, usually.
Personal Information
Personality
Dark Top's personality seems to be radically different from Top's in that Dark Top is pure evil. It is true, in fact; Dark Top is all of Top's evil, and thus has no good in him. Because of this, Dark Top often tries to take over planets. It's unknown why the dark side of Top would want to do such a thing, as Top has assumably never had any such thoughts.
Dark Top generally works on the destructive side of evilness; although he was a part of Darkcorp, he didn't pay much attention to the business side of things. Despite this, he does admit that businessmen are quite evil, but it's simply not his style of evil. It is unknown if he is egotistical, but his only real reason for evil seems to be "because he's the dark side of Top".
Being part of Top, Dark Top is not without his random, silly moments, but he is often able to keep a lid on these and is instead calm and collected. He has an occasional outburst, usually when his plans aren't working out. He often spends time coming up with the most complicated plan he can think of, almost to the point where he loses track himself.
Appearance
Dark Top looks exactly like Top, only darker in color.

Dark Top's Star Ship
It is unknown if Dark Top has his own star ship, but it is likely he has some sort of ship.

Dark Top has a Rex Wheelie, unlike Top and Light Top's Wheelie Scooter, but it is a modified version that has better steering and acceleration.
Interactions with Other Characters
Because Dark Top is inside Top often times, he is able to meet those that Top meets.
Top Mon Hit
- Main Article: Top Mon Hit
As strange as it may sound, Top is normally Dark Top's closest ally. Whenever he is merged with Light Top, Top is the only one Dark Top can talk to, so he has to convince Top to do things. He is usually unable to, though.
Oshy Gisho
- Main Article: Oshy Gisho
Dark Top dislikes Oshy for being on the side of good, but all the same, because he is friends with Top, he knows quite a bit about him and can possibly manipulate him if the need arises.
Topper Mon Hit
- Main Article: Topper Mon Hit
A similar relationship to Oshy exists here.
Tabbir "Whirl"
- Main Article: Tabbir "Whirl"
Dark Top dislikes Whirl, like most or all heroes, but knows that his inventions could be useful and would easily be willing to steal some. He has never had to, however.
Croco
- Main Article: Croco
Dark Top does not see Croco as any sort of threat, and mostly just sees him as lazy.
Wiggly Jr.
- Main Article: Wiggly Jr.
Dark Top often wants to puke at the thought of Wiggly Jr. wasting all that time looking for his father. Obviously, he doesn't like him very much.
Parnky
- Main Article: Parnky
Although most people so far Dark Top hasn't liked, Dark Top loathes Parnky and wishes he could blast him to oblivion.
Sneen
- Main Article: Sneen
Must I elaborate on everyone? He doesn't like Sneen.
Bloo
- Main Article: Bloo
Dark Top sees Bloo as little more than a pest, although he hasn't seen Bloo all that much outside of Top.
Nocktor
- Main Article: Nocktor
Dark Top, like everyone, dislikes Nocktor, and it is one of the few creatures Dark Top would be willing to join with the heroes to fight.
Slike F. Elion
- Main Article: Slike F. Elion
Dark Top thinks Slike is too egotistical, and although he worked with him before, didn't like it very much.
Kienstrom "Angry Scientist"
- Main Article: Kienstrom "Angry Scientist"
Dark Top thinks of Kienstrom as foolish, but not foolish enough to use in his plans. After all, Kienstrom is a scientist, so Dark Top knew he would be able to work on machinery for him. Dark Top isn't below not paying Kienstrom for his efforts, of course.
Metal Top
- Main Article: Metal Top
Like Parnky, Dark Top loathes Metal Top, having been betrayed by him more than once. Metal Top is, like Nocktor, one of the few creatures he would join with the heroes to fight, because he knows joining with Metal Top would end in failure. However, he once obtained the broken-down parts of Metal Top and rebuilt it to be loyal to him, which is the only way that Dark Top will work with Metal Top.
Top's Lawyer
- Main Article: Top's Lawyer
Top's Lawyer is one of the few heroes Dark Top doesn't dislike, possibly because he's a lawyer, but more because he's still Top's Lawyer. He often wonders if he would help him in court.
Team Flash
- Main Article: Team Flash
Dark Top thinks Team Flash are worthless morons and that anyone who hires them are also probably morons.
Princess Apricot Gisho
Dark Top has never had any reason to kidnap Apricot, but on the other hand, the only person who has so far has been Rexor.
King Rexor
Dark Top thinks Rexor is an incompetent villain and that he (himself) is much better. In fact, he thinks Bowser is a better villain, though not by much.
Whacko
Dark Top is really neutral towards Whackas--he still has no good in him, but he does not hate Whackas or normally hit them. Not that he would want a pet, though.
Conrad the Conqueror
Dark Top often would like to thank Conrad for being the one who first let him split from Light Top. He would be willing to work with Conrad if the need arose, which is more than can be said for most other villains.
Anubis
Dark Top found it amusing that the YB was ran by a wolf for a time, but commends him for the brave yet foolhardy use of phazon.
Chibi
- Main Article: Chibi
Dark Top dislikes Chibi a lot, but finds her hateful, mean demeanor to be rather enjoyable, which, strangely enough, means she is one of the "heroes" Dark Top can tolerate a bit more... until her meanness is used on him, at which point he'll smash her.
COUE
Although FOEA was overshadowed by COUE, Dark Top used this to his advantage, allowing the YB to attack COUE while FOEA, under the radar, invaded another planet and kidnapped Peach. Thus, his relationship with them was using them to his own advantage whether they knew it or not.
Danny
- Main Article: Danny
Dark Top is essentially the reason Top calls Danny a kitty. He enjoys making fun of Danny, and wants to diminish his ego to the size of a pea. Dark Top knows that he has great power, though, and would like to relieve him of that power if ever possible.
Dark Sneezier
Although at first Dark Top and Dark Sneezier got along, as they ran an evil company together, their relationship soured intensely after Darkcorp was finished; they became sort of bitter rivals, sometimes increasing activity when the other was merged with their light half.
Dr. Pikachu
Dark Top knows of Dr. Pikachu's mad scientist demeanor, but is saddened that he's a hero mad scientists. That doesn't even count to Dark Top.
Metal Sneezier
- Main Article: Metal Sneezier
Dark Top has had less experiences with the other Metal and the other Sneezier, but from what he can tell, he wouldn't like Metal Sneezier very much, if at all. Who would? (Robots, of course.)
Power Box
PB is one of the people Dark Top would like to torture sometime. Not sure why. He believes it would be a very thrilling experience. Lots of drama.
Pyro
- Main Article: Pyroshi
Unlike Top, Dark Top does not have much of an opinion on Pyro other than he doesn't like him.
Sneezier
- Main Article: Sneezier
Dark Top not only dislikes Sneezier, but dislikes his dark side too. Like with Danny, it is Dark Top that makes Top make fun of Sneezier, and he thinks of Sneezier as a crazy scientist who is foolish.
Star World Defensive Forces
- Main Article: SWDF
Dark Top believes the SWDF is filled with some corruption, and uses this to his own advantage when he can. He uses other parts of it to his advantage as well, though. Other than that, he dislikes the organization for being in his way when he isn't using it.
Subsourian the Dark
- Main Article: Subsourian the Dark
Dark Top is aware of Sub's magic power, and knows it is wise not to cross him, but very few times have they actually crossed, as Dark Top's most active years were not Sub's most active years. The time they went up against one another the most, The Top Plot For Takeover, the two are obviously against one another. Dark Top used Sub's very own military prowess against him.
Trivia
- The idea of Dark Top originally came from Dark Sneezier, but later formed into more the idea of the little devil on one's shoulder making them do bad things that escaped from them.
- Dark Top is considered to be Topmonhit's main villain. Despite this, other villains have appeared more often.
