'''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]] and the main antagonist of 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 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]].
Master Hand is fought on either "[[Final Destination]]" or the Omega form of New Donk City.

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

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 set difficulty.

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.

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.

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 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. He can be fought twice in [[The Final Battle Realm]], after which he and Crazy Hand will create a giant rift so Master Hand can defeat 50 false characters as a temporary playable character.

After defeating him a second time in [[The Final Battle Realm]], he will be freed from Galeem's control.

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.
Master Hand appears in the Game Boy Advance game ''[[Kirby & The Amazing Mirror]]'' as a mini-boss. Inhaling him will give [[Kirby]] the Smash ability, an ability that gives Kirby some of his moves from ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]'' (though in a slightly altered state). Master Hand and Crazy Hand are also the bosses of the Candy Constellation stage.
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!"
In ''Kirby Squeak Squad'', an enemy that resembles Master Hand appears on some levels, but it is made up of black particles similar to the [[Master Core]].

==Playability==
==Playability==
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]].

** 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.
