{{cquote|''Bwa-hah-hah-hah-hah!''|cite=Master Hand}}
'''Master Hand''' ({{ja|マスターハンド|Masutā Hando}}, ''Master Hand'') is a hand-like entity who acts as the main recurring [[boss]] in the {{uv|Super Smash Bros.}} universe. He appears at [[Final Destination]] as the final boss of the [[1P Game]] in ''[[Super Smash Bros.]]'' and of [[Classic Mode]] in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]'', ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'', ''[[Super Smash Bros. 4]]'', and some fighters' paths in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]''. He also plays a large role in [[Adventure Mode: The Subspace Emissary]] and [[Adventure Mode: World of Light]]. Due to his role as a boss, Master Hand is often unplayable barring hacks, though a glitch that allows the player to play as him exists in ''Super Smash Bros. Melee''. The player must bring his HP down to zero to defeat him. Master Hand's left hand counterpart, [[Crazy Hand]], was introduced in ''Melee''.


Despite appearing in all five games of the series, considerable mystery surrounds the character, due to a lack of sufficient official explanations. However, he is known as the creator of the ''Super Smash Bros.'' universe, and in ''Brawl'' as the master of the [[World of Trophies]].<ref>{{cite web

}}</ref> His trophy info in ''Brawl'' implies that he does not use his full power against the fighters, and merely toys with them for his own enjoyment which is further implied in the World of Light mode where in his playable appearance he has more stamina and his attacks being far more powerful than the power of his attacks as a boss. In ''Super Smash Bros 4'', Master Hand is shown to have some connection to [[Master Core]], with the "Swarm" that Master Core comprises appearing from within Master Hand after he has taken enough damage. This link between the two has yet to be elaborated upon in the ''Smash'' universe.


Master Hand is playable in ''Ultimate'' in a special event battle found in World of Light. Elsewhere and in other games, he is only playable via a [[Master Hand glitch|glitch]] in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]'' or through hacking.
'''Master Hand''' (マスターハンド, ''Masutā Hando'') is a glove-like entity who acts as the creator of the [[Super Smash Bros. (universe)|''Super Smash Bros.'' universe]] and is also the creator of the [[World of Trophies]]. He is the final boss of the [[1P Game]] in ''[[Super Smash Bros.]]'', the final boss of the [[Classic Mode]] in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]'', and the final boss of [[Classic mode]] in [[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]].
Master Hand's origins are unknown, and his and [[Crazy Hand]]'s purpose is undiscovered. But both Hands are in a dualistic conflict of [[Master Hand|create]] and '''[[Crazy Hand|destroy]]'''. Speculation went around after the release of the original Smash Bros. that Master Hand was supposed to be the Nintendo character Glover.  


Master Hand is usually fought on [[Final Destination]], although in ''Ultimate'', {{SSBU|Donkey Kong}}'s Classic Mode instead uses the [[Ω form]] of [[New Donk City Hall]], {{SSBU|Joker}}'s Classic Mode uses the Ω form of [[Mementos]], and {{SSBU|Sephiroth}}'s Classic Mode uses the Ω form of [[Northern Cave]].
==Appearances==


==Origin==
===''Super Smash Bros.''===
[[File:WhamBamRocksKSS.png|thumb|150px|left|Wham Bam Rock as it appears in ''Kirby Super Star''.]]
[[Image:MasterhandSSB64.jpg|thumb|right|150px|Official Artwork for Master Hand in ''Super Smash Bros.'']]In ''[[Super Smash Bros.]]'', Master Hand is the final opponent of the 1P Game. He resides in a level aptly called [[Master Hand's Residence (N64)|Master Hand's Residence]] by fans. He uses his size and shape to his advantage - he slaps, punches and flicks the player around.
Some of Master Hand's attacks are very similar to those of Wham Bam Rock in ''[[Kirby Super Star]]'' (''Kirby's Fun Pak'' in the PAL regions).
Master Hand can't be defeated by normal means; instead, he has 300 HP which must be depleted. Once 0 HP is reached, he explodes into the background, and the character is turned back into a doll.


Wham Bam Rock attacks using its hand, which is made of rocks. Wham Bam Rock and Master Hand share a move where they point their index finger at Kirby like a gun; however, Wham Bam Rock proceeds to make rocks fall, while Master Hand shoots out bullets. Both Wham Bam Rock and Master Hand perform a move that involves "walking" across the stage using their fingers to flick Kirby. Both will also try to grab on to the player and crush them.<ref>{{cite web
Master Hand also appears in the opening cinematic. He positions two random characters on a table, and after carefully positioning everything, he counts to three on his fingers, snaps his fingers, and changes the table into a stage resembling [[Peach's Castle]], bringing the dolls to life.

==In ''[[Super Smash Bros.]]''==
===''Super Smash Bros. Melee''===
{{main|Master Hand (SSB)}}
[[Image:MasterHand.jpg|right|frame|Master Hand trophy in ''SSBM''.]]
[[File:MasterhandSSB64.jpg|thumb|150px|Official artwork for Master Hand in ''Super Smash Bros.'']]
''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]'' sees Master Hand taking a similar role - he is the final boss of the 1-player Classic mode, and has a set HP which must be depleted to win. There are, however, a few changes made to him. His moveset is slightly altered, and his HP is altered based on the difficulty (for example, he only has 150 HP when fought on Very Easy mode, where ''SSB'' had him fixed to 300 regardless of the mode).
{{Head|Master Hand|g=SSB}}
In ''[[Super Smash Bros.]]'', Master Hand is the final boss of the 1P Game. He resides in {{SSB|Final Destination}}.


He is also seen in the [[opening movie]]. He places plush dolls of two characters on a table and positions objects around them. After counting down from three, he snaps his fingers, transforming the objects and table into a stage resembling Peach's Castle, and bringing both of the plush dolls to life.
The game also introduced [[Crazy Hand]], Master Hand's left-handed alter ego. When the two are on the field at the same time, they can perform powerful combination attacks. Crazy Hand appears when set conditions are met.  
{{clr}}


==In ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]''==
The two Hands also appear in [hard mode] and  they must be defeated together.
{{main|Master Hand (SSBM)}}
[[File:MasterHandMelee.jpg|thumb|150px|Master Hand's appearance in ''Melee''.]]
{{Head|Master Hand|g=SSBM|s=16px}}
''Super Smash Bros. Melee'' sees Master Hand reprising his role as a boss in {{SSBM|Classic Mode}}. He is fought in the final battle on {{SSBM|Final Destination}}. Defeating Master Hand once again causes the screen to fade to white as he explodes into the background.


Master Hand received a multitude of alterations to his overall fighting style in ''Melee''. He faces only one direction, and his HP and power change with the [[difficulty]]. The highest levels of difficulty give him attacks with [[OHKO]] potential. Aesthetically, he no longer has a cuff, instead having a wrist that fades into nothingness.
Master Hand does not appear in the opening cinematic, though [[Master Hand (trophy)|his trophy]] elaborates his role in the ''Super Smash Bros.'' universe.    


The game also introduced {{SSBM|Crazy Hand}}, Master Hand's left-handed partner. When the two are on the field at the same time, they can perform powerful combination attacks. Crazy Hand appears when set conditions are met. The duo also appear in [[Event 50: Final Destination Match]] as boss characters.

Master hand is in [[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]. He reprises his role as the final boss of Classic mode. His attacks are very similar to that of his [[Melee]] form with some changes. The amount of HP he has is still dependent on the difficulty as well. Crazy Hand also returns in [[Classic Mode]], if certain conditions are met.

===Role in [[Adventure Mode: The Subspace Emissary]]===
[[File:MH dead.jpg|thumb|left|Master Hand released from his bonds during the Subspace Emissary.]]
Master Hand also appears in [[The Subspace Emissary]], as the one giving orders to {{SSBB|Ganondorf}}, {{SSBB|Bowser}} and {{SSBB|Wario}}. Soon after a [[Subspace Bomb]] is used on {{SSBB|King Dedede}}'s castle, Ganondorf receives new orders from Master Hand via a video screen.


However, when all of the characters [[Entrance to Subspace|arrive in Subspace]], Ganondorf reports to Master Hand after betraying Bowser. When Master Hand reveals himself, however, Ganondorf sees that he has actually been under the control of a powerful being called [[Tabuu]]. Tabuu had enslaved Master Hand using chains of light knowing that he could control and use him for recruiting fighters to aid him in his goals.
====Role in the ''[[Subspace Emissary]]''====
[[Image:MasterHandBrawl.png|thumb|left|Master Hand in the Subspace Emissary.]]
[[Master Hand]] also appears in the Subspace Emissary, as [[Ganondorf (SSBB)|Ganondorf's]] and [[Bowser (SSBB)|Bowser's]] boss. Soon after a [[Subspace Bomb]] is used on a castle, Ganondorf receives new orders from Master Hand, which he gets via a TV screen.


Ganondorf defiantly attempts to attack Tabuu but is easily knocked back, though his fall breaks the chains of light that Tabuu used to control Master Hand with, thus freeing him. Master Hand subsequently falls into the ground, bleeding from where he was enchained. Master Hand too attempts to strike Tabuu but is beaten with little effort, collapsing once again into the ground and lying motionless in defeat. Whatever happens to Master Hand afterwards is never revealed.
[[Image:MH_dead.jpg|thumb|250px]]However, when all of the characters arrive in the Subspace world, Master Hand turns out to be [[Tabuu]]'s puppet. Ganondorf attacks Tabuu, but is easily knocked back, though while he falls he breaks Master Hand's strings, thus freeing him. Master Hand too attempts to strike Tabuu, but just like Ganondorf, is defeated with little effort. Being a being different from the playable characters, he does not change into a trophy, and simply lies there motionless.
{{clrl}}


===Trophy===
Knowing that he would be able to use Master Hand to recruit fighters to aid him in his goals, Tabuu enslaved Master Hand with the chains of light some time before the plot of the Subspace Emissary begins. Indeed, his trophy suggests that Master Hand himself is not inherently evil, or he disliked the fact that there was someone stronger than him.

==In ''[[Super Smash Bros. 4]]''==
===Other appearances===
{{main|Master Hand (SSB4)}}
Master Hand and Crazy Hand also appear in the Gameboy Advance game ''[[Kirby and the Amazing Mirror]]'' and they are both the area bosses of Candy Constellation, and both must be defeated simultaneously. However, the concept of the Hands may have come from a boss called Wham Bam Rock from [[Kirby Super Star]], who attacked Kirby with a stone hand.
[[File:Master Hand SSB4.png|125px|thumb|Master Hand in SSB4]]
Master Hand is once again the final boss of Classic Mode in ''Super Smash Bros. 4''. At higher intensities he is fought along with {{SSB4|Crazy Hand}}, and after taking a certain amount of damage, he writhes about in the air before releasing a dark mass named [[Master Core]]. In {{forwiiu}}, he stars in his own mode named [[Master Orders]].


Unlike the previous games, Master Hand and Crazy Hand share a HP meter. Each of them have new attacks they perform both individually and in conjunction with each other, such as the two tossing energy balls to one another and Crazy Hand opening a rift that sucks in characters that get caught inside.
==As a character==
{{clr}}
Though there are several "cheats" that supposedly allow Master Hand to be played as a normal character, all of them are false - the only methods of controlling Master Hand are through a cheating device such as a [[GameShark]] or [[Action Replay]] or using the cheat menu on certain emulators. As expected, playing as Master Hand causes a few problems - he can cause random crashes, and depleting his HP freezes the game.

None of the move names are official.

{{main|Master Hand (SSBU)}}
[[File:Master Hand SSBU.png|125px|thumb|Master Hand in ''Super Smash Bros. Ultimate''.]]
Master Hand returns as the final boss of several characters' [[Classic Mode]] routes, sometimes, along with [[Crazy Hand]]. Once again, both have separate health bars. The characters that don't fight him are {{SSBU|Mario}}, {{SSBU|Captain Falcon}} (who fight [[Giga Bowser]]), {{SSBU|Link}}, {{SSBU|Zelda}}, {{SSBU|Young Link}}, {{SSBU|Toon Link}} (who fight [[Ganon]]), {{SSBU|Yoshi}}, {{SSBU|Bowser}}, {{SSBU|Marth}}, {{SSBU|Duck Hunt}}, {{SSBU|Piranha Plant}}, {{SSBU|Hero}} (who fight [[Rathalos]]), {{SSBU|Kirby}}, {{SSBU|Rosalina & Luma}}, {{SSBU|Inkling}} (who fight [[Marx]]), {{SSBU|Luigi}}, {{SSBU|Pac-Man}}, {{SSBU|Simon}}, {{SSBU|Richter}} (who fight [[Dracula]]), {{SSBU|Falco}}, {{SSBU|Ken}} (who fight only Crazy Hand), {{SSBU|Snake}}, {{SSBU|R.O.B.}}, {{SSBU|Wolf}}, {{SSBU|Mega Man}}, {{SSBU|Dark Pit}}, {{SSBU|King K.

Additionally, some characters have company fighting both of the Hands: {{SSBU|Mewtwo}} fights along with {{SSBU|Pikachu}}, {{SSBU|Chrom}} along with {{SSBU|Robin}}, Pit along with Dark Pit, {{SSBU|Diddy Kong}} along with {{SSBU|Donkey Kong}}, Ryu along with Ken, {{SSBU|Incineroar}} along with {{SSBU|Greninja}} and {{SSBU|Byleth}} along with Marth, {{SSBU|Roy}}, {{SSBU|Ike}}, Robin and {{SSBU|Corrin}}; thus far, {{SSBU|Ice Climbers}}, {{SSBU|Meta Knight}}, {{SSBU|Banjo & Kazooie}}, {{SSBU|Sephiroth}}, {{SSBU|Pyra}}/{{SSBU|Mythra}} and {{SSBU|Sora}} fight them alone.

===Role in [[Adventure Mode: World of Light]]===
Note that Master Hand's moves will automatically target the highest-numerical player other than himself (Player 1 or 2 in most cases)
[[File:Minions of light.jpeg|thumb|200px|Galeem’s army of Master Hands.]]
[[File:SSBU Dharkon killing Master Hands.png|thumb|200px|The Master Hands being destroyed by Dharkon.]]
He also appears in [[Adventure Mode: World of Light]]. In the introductory cinematic, an army of many Master Hands is seen approaching the fighters alongside [[Galeem]]. The Master Hands unravel to reveal blue glowing energy-like forms within, which are then absorbed by Galeem before he unleashes beams of light that consume the fighters. Master Hand will obstruct the player's path several times in [[The Light Realm]] and must be fought before reaching Galeem.
Following Galeem's defeat, [[Dharkon]] appears, sending his army of Crazy Hands to destroy Master Hands, which instead of exploding in blue energy, they burst in yellow.


Master Hand can be fought twice in the [[The Final Battle (World of Light)|Final Battle Realm]], a second time which the actual Master Hand will be freed from Galeem's control, suggesting that at some point Master Hand, just like the fighters, must have been copied too. Upon being freed, Master Hand performs a gesture as if he was looking back and forth, implying he was unaware of what happened up until that point. When both Master and Crazy Hand are freed, they create a giant rift via their Static Discharge joint technique, through which Master Hand enters to defeat 50 false characters as a temporary playable character (the only time in the series that Master Hand is playable without hacking). Succeeding, Master Hand flies out of the crack and the Final Battle Realm changes scenery, after which the message appears: "You've conquered both light and darkness!"

==Playability==
====Useful Combination Moves====
In ''Melee'', the [[Master Hand glitch]], a particular application of the [[Name Entry glitch]], allows a player to control Master Hand. Aside from this, the only other methods of controlling Master Hand are by hacking with a cheating device such as [[GameShark]] or [[Action Replay]]. Several rumors exist of being able to control Master Hand in other games, particularly the original ''Super Smash Bros.'', all of which are false. In ''Ultimate'' however, he is now playable legitimately for the first time in the penultimate stage of [[World of Light]].
Certain moves can be used in conjunction with each other to cause massive amounts of damage.

==Trophy Info==
''A being tied to the link between this world, where trophies fight, and the world beyond. The meaning of his existence is unknown, as are his goals, but he seems to have obtained (and kept hidden) a power that borders on absolute. He also seems to feel a certain joy in challenging chosen warriors who've claimed many victories. He waits even now in Final Destination.''


==Trivia==
==Trivia==
*Master Hand and his counterpart Crazy Hand both share English voice actors with the [[announcer]] in each ''Smash Bros.'' game to date as well as with [[Joker]] in ''Ultimate''.
*Master Hand's interactions with [[Tabuu]] in the [[Subspace Emissary]] has created some debate over his true nature, especially whether or not he can be "killed".
*''Super Smash Bros. 4'' is the first installment since the original ''Super Smash Bros.'' to show a VS. screen when the player reaches Master Hand in Classic Mode.
* Master Hand's entrance laugh strongly resembles a stereotypical "evil villain" laugh.
**This is also the first time an announcer call is used in-game for Master Hand, as well as Crazy Hand.
*If Luigi attacks Master Hand, Crazy Hand, or Petey Piranha in SSBB with his up-special move on a perfect angle, they can be defeated no matter what damage level.
*His [[idle pose]] consists of him simply clenching his fist. However, in all games except ''Super Smash Bros.'', this is not seen in normal gameplay due to the AI not allowing enough time between his attacks. It can be seen by using the [[Master Hand glitch]] in ''Melee'', or using Boss control codes in Boss Battles mode in Brawl.
 
**However, in ''Super Smash Bros. 4'', there is a chance that Master Hand will not attack for a while due to Crazy Hand attacking by himself, resulting in him doing the idle pose.
*''Melee'' and ''Brawl'' are the only games in the series where Master Hand does not have his own theme song.
**In ''Brawl'', however, Master Hand's battle music is slightly altered from the Final Destination theme in that it skips the short intro at the beginning of the song and goes straight to the lyrics.
*''Ultimate'' is the first game in the ''Smash'' series to have Master Hand playable through normal means.
*''64'' and ''Ultimate'' are the only games in the series in which Master Hand moves around completely freely during the fight, rather than staying in the right side of the screen.
*''Ultimate'' is also the very first game where Master Hand can be stunned and incapacitated during battle.
** In addition, ''Ultimate'' is the very first game where Master Hand can be legitimately fought on a stage that isn't Final Destination (In [[Donkey Kong]]'s Classic Mode, he is instead fought on the Ω form of [[New Donk City Hall]], in Joker's Classic Mode route, he is fought in the Ω form of [[Mementos]], and in [[Sephiroth]]'s Classic Mode, he is fought on the Ω form of [[Northern Cave]]). However, all these stages are a variation of Final Destination.
*{{iw|wikirby|Master Hand}} appears as a midboss in ''{{iw|wikirby|Kirby & The Amazing Mirror}}'', and is fought alongside {{iw|wikirby|Crazy Hand}} as the boss of {{iw|wikirby|Candy Constellation}}. When defeated and inhaled, Master Hand grants Kirby the {{iw|wikirby|Smash}} Ability.
**An enemy named {{s|wikirby|Uja}} appears in some levels of ''Kirby Squeak Squad''; it appears to be a swarm of insects taking a form that closely resembles Master Hand's sprite in ''Amazing Mirror''. However, it is made of small, black particles similar to [[Master Core]].
*Master Hand is the only boss to appear in every game.
