The Skill parameter has been removed from Smasher infoboxes, and in its place are the new "Best historical ranking" and "Best tournament result" parameters. SmashWiki needs help adding these new parameters to Smasher infoboxes, refer to the guidelines here for what should be included in these new parameters.
When adding results to Smasher pages, include each tournament's entrant number in addition to the player's placement, and use the {{Trn}} template with the matching game specified. Please also fix old results on Smasher pages that do not abide to this standard. Refer to our Smasher article guidelines to see how results tables should be formatted.

'''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

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

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.

==Playability==
In ''Melee'', the [[Master Hand glitch]], a particular application of the [[Name Entry glitch]], allows a player to control Master Hand via a Player 3 port. 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]].
