Napoleon Bonaparte is a supporting antagonist in Night at the Museum: Battle of the Smithsonian. He was one of the right hand men of Kahmunrah, as a support for his project of conquest of the World. He is a short man wearing a big hat and a lot of medals on his uniform, complexed with his height and speaking with a French accent. He, along with Ivan, came from the basement of the Smithsonian Museum.

Night at the Museum: Battle of the Smithsonian[]
With Ivan, Capone and their henchmen (gangsters, Streltsy, and hussars), Napoleon joined Kahmunrah. They don’t really see where the point is, but they understand they will be given a part of the world in exchange of their help.
Napoleon captures Larry Daley in the National Gallery of Art and brings him to Kahmunrah. He later sees him through a telescope with Amelia Earhart crossing the park. Kahmunrah, thinking they are trying to flee, sends his forces against them. They find Larry and Amelia in the Air & Space Museum, but they fail in the pursuit.
Napoleon is next seen along with Capone, Ivan and their men returning to Kahmunrah with a bobble-headed Albert Einstein as a hostage prisoner having confessed the Tablet combination being (Pi). After a giant statue of Abraham Lincoln defeats Kahmunrah's army of falcon-headed warriors unleashed from the underworld through a gate opened by the Tablet, Kahmunrah orders Napoleon, Ivan, Al, and their men to attack Larry and his friends (those imprisoned and rescued by Amelia and those from the Smithsonian). When Larry tries to insert the Tablet back to "divide the house", Napoleon and the two other leaders confront him but Larry uses his clever wits to get them to fight amongst themselves about who is the boss who deserves the Tablet more.

DS Port[]
In the DS version of the game, Napoleon is the 2nd boss battle in the game, occurring in the Museum of Natural History. His boss battle starts with a quick slide or the screen, showing him jumping on top of a cannon with the scarab Ingot around the area. There are also black, bouncing bull balls around the area in between the floor, showing you have to use the Bull Ingot for something.
In the battle, Larry has to use the bull ingot to hit the balls back towards Napoleon, causing him to light the cannon and fire out another ball. You have to use the scarab Ingot to slide underneath him to not get hit before repeating the process two more times. After this, the cannon Napoleon is on flips over, falling to the ground as he himself flips over and falls to the ground as well. This leads into a cut scene.
As the cutscene plays, we see Napoleon saying how Larry will pay for defeating him, which leads Larry to mock him in a ‘babying” manner as he makes fun of his size, making Napoleon say how his anger isn’t small and instead is huge. As Larry keeps mocking Napoleon for his height and leads him to start saying how he’s normal height, Amelia comes in and Larry tries to bring her into making fun of Napoleon, which she doesn’t but the pair leave instead as Napoleon is on the floor.

Historical[]
Napoleon Bonaparte was the ruler, or rather "Emperor" of France after the French Revolution. He is known for being short and rotund although it is confirmed to be just a myth. He had a sister named Pauline who he greatly admired and was said to have possibly have a relationship with. His first wife was named Josefina who was later exiled. His second wife was from Austria. Notice it was the same as King Louis XVI and Marie-Antointheette.
Napoleon enrolled at military school at 16. He was transferred to and eventually graduated from the L'Ecole Militaire, France's most prestigious military academy, starting out as a artillery officer. He seized power in France after its revolution from a coup d'état, eventually becoming emperor.
During his reign, Napoleon made a number of reforms in the nation, some notable examples being the Bank of France, offering public education, and the Napoleonic Code. He also launched the Napoleonic Wars and successfully saved France from many European monarchist coalitions which were trying to destroy the legacy of the Revolution. He made of France the leading nation of Europe, dominating most of the continental territory, in which he diffused the ideas of the Revolution.
Under Napoleon, France controlled places like Spain, the Italian Peninsula, Poland, and Germany. However, his empire collapsed after some costly mistakes, those being the Continental System, Peninsular War, and ultimately a failed invasion of Russia, which wiped out much of his army.
He was exiled to the island of Elba off the coast of Italy, while the true king got into power. Though later Napoleon managed to get an army together and overthrow the king. He became ruler once more and held power for one hundred days. When the other European powers discovered his return, they immediately declared war to take down Napoleon. When he tried to recover his empire, Napoleon was finally defeated at the Battle of Waterloo by the combined British and Prussian Forces lead by the Duke of Wellington and Gebhard Von Blucher. He was exiled to an island in the Atlantic Ocean where he stayed until his death.
Trivia[]
- He is played by the French-Algerian actor Alain Chabat.
- In the film, Napoleon was willing to work with Egyptians, Russians, and Americans, whom ironically were all enemies with Napoleon historically. Napoleon launched an invasion on Egypt to undermine Britain's access to India. Napoleon, in a failing attempt, invaded Russia, which was willing to trade with Britain, his enemy. Also, Napoleon got into hated relations with the United States, which was angry for the suppressant American sailors and merchants.
