'''Master Core''' ({{ja|マスターコア|Masutā Koa}} ''Master Core'') is the secret final [[boss]] of ''[[Super Smash Bros. 4]]''. It appears at the end of {{SSB4|Classic Mode}}, fought after weakening {{SSB4|Master Hand}} and {{SSB4|Crazy Hand}} on higher difficulties. It erupts from Master Hand shrouded in a mass of black particles known as the "Swarm" that take on various forms depending on the [[difficulty]] level. Defeating its forms reveals the Core itself, resembling a large, prismatic cell with a purple vortex for a nucleus, surrounded by the colors of its previous forms. In battle, its surface fades into the Smash Bros. cross logo every ten seconds.

Master Core can only be battled if the [[Intensity]] is set to 5.1 or higher. On the 3DS version, Master Core only appears if the player chooses to take the black path to fight both Master Hand and Crazy Hand at the end of Classic Mode; at Intensity 8.0 and above, there is no option except the black path. On the Wii U version, players will always encounter Master Core as long as they meet the Intensity requirement.

On the ''Wii U'' version, players will always encounter Master Core as long as they meet the Intensity requirement.


The battle between Master and Crazy Hand begins as usual. The battle deviates once the Hands collectively lose approximately 100 [[HP]] (150 HP in co-op mode), leading to Crazy Hand disintegrating into dark flames while Master Hand flails about and rips open to unleash the Master Core entity. The music changes to Master Core's theme and the background changes to a swirly multi-colored warp (or a solar flare-like background in the 3DS version). Master Core has HP like other bosses, but it is never shown to the player; in the 3DS version, Master Core's character portrait on the bottom screen is concealed by a cloud of Swarm particles, while in the Wii U version, the HP meter is simply not displayed to the player at all. It is somewhat possible to tell how much remaining health each form has, as every 50 HP of damage dealt to each of the first three forms will cause a hole to burst open in its body, while Master Shadow will gradually shrink as it is damaged.

* Master Giant's head will split open, creating a vacuum effect around it. During this move, large electric orbs will travel across the stage horizontally. If the player is caught by the head or an electric orb, they will be 'swallowed', taking damage then being launched downward in the same manner as the 'arms' attack. The electric orbs can be avoided by perfect shielding or dodging/rolling, though it's the safest to stay away from them until Master Giant ends the attack.

* Master Giant's head will transform, then attempt to headbutt the player. If this attack lands, the player will be [[buried]]. After the headbutt, 4 orbs are created in random locations, detonating after a delay and creating a cross-shaped explosion in the shape of the Smash logo. The explosions can deal huge damage if more than one hits.

* Master Giant will scream, creating a massive shockwave that [[push]]es players away from the center of the stage, potentially knocking them off. Players are pushed much farther if they are in the air. The player takes damage if very close but won't be pushed as far toward the edge of the stage. Ignores [[counterattack]]s.

===Master Beast===
[[File:Master Beast Wii U.png|thumb|200px|Master Beast form in the Wii U version.]]
The Master Beast form appears first on Intensity 6.0 to 7.4 in the 3DS version and Intensity 6.0 to 6.9 in the Wii U version, or when the Master Giant form is defeated. It appears to be a large quadrupedal scorpion-like creature.


====Attacks====
===MR BEAST!!!!===
Master Beast has the following attacks:
 
* Jumps into the background area, then dives back with a biting attack at the player, similarly to Master Hand's background punch and plane attacks. Like those attacks, it can be avoided by jumping, though the animation is much quicker so the player has less reaction time. This move may be Master Beast's strongest attack in terms of KOing power, and it also deals extreme shield damage.
 
* Leaps high off the screen, then comes back down with a body slam. It will land on either edge of the stage, causing the whole stage to briefly tilt downwards sharply in that direction. This attack is easy to avoid by staying in the center of the stage, but if the player has been hit by a previous attack and is [[recover]]ing on the opposite side at the time, the sudden tilting of the stage can cause the player to miss [[ledge]]s. It can also spike the player downwards if they get hit by it falling while in the air.
 
* Spawns spikes on its back, then a trail of shadows will crawl across the ground. When its horizontal position matches the player's or if it reaches the corner, spikes will spawn at that location, dealing damage.
 
* Emanates lightning around itself. There is a brief start-up time, which shows it shrinking and being struck by lightning, similar to {{SSB4|Pikachu}}'s down special.


After defeating the Master Beast form, Master Core will transform into Master Edges.

In PAL regions, this form is known as '''Master Sabres'''. This form can be encountered first on Intensity 5.1 to 5.9, or when the Master Beast form is defeated. The swirling background on the Wii U version turns yellow at this point. It appears as a group of five swords, one larger than the others. Any of the swords can be damaged equivalently.

In this form, Master Core appears as a copy of the player's character, including any [[equipment]], [[Character customization|custom movesets]], or [[alternate costume]] the player's character might have. If the player is using an alternate form of a character, such as one of the Koopalings or the male {{SSB4|Wii Fit Trainer}}, these will be copied as well. At the start of the fight, Master Shadow is noticeably larger than the player's character, but will gradually shrink as its health drops, as well as the black becoming more transparent, somewhat revealing the true colors underneath. Unlike the previous forms, there is no difficulty level where this is the first form encountered, and it can be defeated by KOing it like any normal character as well as by depleting its HP like the other Master Core forms. In the Wii U version, if Classic Mode is played on Co-Op mode, Master Shadow will only copy the first player and has a blue outline.

Master Shadow's AI varies, but it normally is passive enough to allow for multiple blows on it; there are times however that it can be quite unpredictable and may instantly land killing blows as a [[punish]], especially if the player has sustained high damage from the prior forms and if they make a reckless move.

After defeating the Master Shadow form, the music will abruptly cut out. Master Core will then either transform a final time into Master Fortress (only on the Wii U version, at Intensity 8.0 to 9.0, and only on single-player mode) or finally reveal itself (on the 3DS version, or on the Wii U version if the prior conditions are not met).

[[File:Master Fortress 2.png|thumb|200px|Entering Master Fortress's first wave; a few enemies and the first weak point are visible on the right.]]
The Master Fortress form is exclusive to the Wii U version of the game, and only appears on Intensity 8.0 to 9.0 on single-player mode after Master Shadow's defeat. When this form appears, a different background music will play, the [[Match timer|time limit]] will be automatically extended by three minutes, and a special [[Heart Container]] will appear for the player to use, which resets the player's damage to 0% like in [[All-Star Mode]]. If the Heart Container is not used, it remains on the stage and can be picked up at any time by exiting the Fortress.

If the Heart Container is not used, it remains on the stage and can be picked up at any time by exiting the Fortress.


Master Fortress is effectively an entire stage resembling a human body that must be traversed, and the player must search for and destroy a total of four weak points to proceed. These weak points resemble hearts, and beat audibly when the player is close. When Master Fortress first appears, a barrier will appear and deal [[set knockback]] (albeit no damage) to prevent the player from entering the fortress until it finishes forming. Once inside the fortress, shadowy versions of enemies such as [[Stalfos]], [[Geemer]]s, [[Plasma Wisp]]s, and [[Lethinium]]s will appear and attack the player.

After all previous forms have been defeated, the black Swarm particles will completely cover the screen briefly, before abruptly dispersing to reveal the Core itself in the center of the stage. At this point, the background music goes silent and the [[Match timer|timer]] will stop. In the 3DS version, the black particles covering Master Core's HP on the bottom screen will also disperse, revealing a new character portrait for the boss and its damage percentage starting at 0%. On the Wii U version, the swirling background will turn blue.

The player has approximately 45 seconds to KO it. The Core has no attacks and will gradually fade from its bright prismatic color to a deep red as it accumulates damage. If the Core does not get sent beyond the [[blast line]] with each hit, it will fly back to the center of the stage (or teleport back if it gets stuck under the ledge). Its launch distance depends solely on how much damage it has taken, meaning attacks that usually have a fixed knockback will work as regular attacks against it.

If time runs out, the Core will shake violently and rise above the stage, then flash [[Tabuu]]'s [[Off Waves]] symbol before charging up and releasing five waves. Being hit by any wave will inflict 50% damage and [[one-hit KO]] the player at 8.0 difficulty and higher. The core can still be attacked during this time, making it momentarily stop releasing waves. Like Tabuu's, these waves can be avoided with precisely timed [[rolling]] or [[sidestep]] dodges. Afterwards, Master Core will self-destruct with a one-hit KO explosion dealing 50% damage. However, the player must be standing close to get hit, and it can never defeat the player as they have already won by the time this happens, marking the first times a boss's attacks kill the boss itself.
