It's a hard glitch to do, so it takes a couple tries. but i think 2 controllers are the easiest, but it took me like a million tries to do it. but, it does work

it happens a lot. it happen twice to me, but that's because the game wasn't ment for you to play as master hand.

I spent about an hour using BOTH methods, and none of them worked. I even wrote down the instructions, and no matter how my timing would be, no matter what, it wouldn't work.

For the 1 player mode: I tried the "press A and B at same time. Release A while holding B, and press A when cursor is just above Name Entry".

::Perhaps if Master Hand had his own boards on SWF and they posted a guide for him, then that might be acceptable to link to since we link every character's SSBB article to guide put up by their respective boards. But to my knowledge, Master Hand has no boards since he is a glitch character and has no competitively following. A guide for him would also be rather unnecessary since he is invincible in all but Stamina Mode. <span style="font-family:Edwardian Script ITC; font-size:12pt">[[User:Omega Tyrant|<span style="color:forestgreen">Omega</span>]] [[User talk:Omega Tyrant|<span style="color:forestgreen">Tyrant</span>]]</span> [[Image: TyranitarMS.png|25px ]] 06:06, July 4, 2010 (UTC)

== What's up with the 2 controller method? ==
Is it really as random as everyone says, or is the timing slightly different than pressing the button on both controllers at the same time. I've tried it on Dolphin with the A button set to the same key on both controllers (the equivalent of having two Wavebird receivers set to the same frequency), and it doesn't seem to work. The one controller method works just fine, though. --[[User:Pimanrules|Pimanrules]] ([[User talk:Pimanrules|talk]]) 03:20, July 5, 2010 (UTC)

== Tier position ==
He has a tier position. See [http://www.smashboards.com/showthread.php?t=286577 here]. The bottom tier comprises of "Gengar", but that is defined as "glitch characters". As there is only one known glitch character, Master Hand comprises the bottom tier. <choose><option><span style="color:red;">[[User:Mr. Anon|Mr.]]</span> <span style="color:green;">[[User talk:Mr. Anon|Anon]]</span> <span style="color:blue;">[[Special:Contributions/Mr. Anon|teh awsome]]</span></option><option>[[User:Mr. Anon|Anon]]</option><option>[[User:Mr. Anon|Sir]] [[User Talk:Mr. Anon|Anon]] [[Special: Contributions/Mr. Anon| the great]]</option></choose> 04:05, September 15, 2010 (UTC)

== Sheik and Master Hand ==
Guys, does anyone have an explanation to why [[Sheik (SSBM)|Sheik]]'s name appears in the results screen? I thought Master Hand's ID was 0, so why does it display Sheik instead of a glitched name, or nothing? or why not Mario's seem as 1 is nearer to 0 and if Master Hand has a high score in Multi-Man Melee it goes to Mario and not Sheik. ----- [[User:Conanshinichi|Conan]][[User talk:Conanshinichi|shinichi]]  20:41, 17 July 2013 (EDT)
:Yeah it's weird, since no internal list I know of puts Sheik first or last. Still, the fact that Sheik is the only character that can't be directly selected may have something to do with it.

::Perhaps, it's because there are different IDs for the Victory Screen and maybe Sheik has 0 for that kind of ID? Who knows. ----- [[User:Conanshinichi|Conan]][[User talk:Conanshinichi|shinichi]]  21:03, 17 July 2013 (EDT)
:::Personally my guess is that it's not really an ID thing at all, but a coincidence based on the order the character names are in the file (which I don't know).

== Didn't freeze ==
So today I did this glitch on Lightning Melee mode and had a CPU Zelda and 2 other CPUs. While I was playing, it wasn't freezing at all and she can even transform into Sheik without the game crashing. I know this shouldn't happen.

== This Should Merge With the [[Name Entry glitch|Name Entry Glitch]] ==
This glitch is a subset of the Name Entry one, so it makes no sense to have two separate articles if they both contain the same information.[[User:Robo4900|Robo4900]] ([[User talk:Robo4900|talk]]) 02:52, 2 February 2014 (EST)

== Let me ask this... ==
Simply put, exploiting glitches is my favorite thing to do in video games. And this glitch is definitely one of my favorites. That being said, I was screwing around with it, and decided to do the one player method with two controllers. Neither controller had a character. (I was trying to see if Crazy Hand could show up or something.) The result was...interesting, to say the least.
What happened was only Master Hand (in port 3) showed up, even though both Players 3 and 4 showed the Master Hand icon. However, when an attack was performed, Master Hand would attack as if a target was there (even though there clearly wasn't), and both Players 3 and 4 received damage. What I wanna know is if anyone has an explanation for this phenomenon.

:Maybe there were two Master Hands in the exact same place, thanks to some missing collision data? They would have hit each other's hitboxes if that was the case.

With some more testing, I found it to be somewhat of a loophole regarding something on the page itself:
''"When the player makes the glitch occur with two players (or one player and one CPU) and they don't choose any character, all players will be considered to be Master Hand, but only one will appear until one of them moves. The two Master Hands can move only if one of them is a CPU, as a human player can only control Master Hand if he/she is Player 3. Also, if three or four players are chosen as Master Hand on a battle, the game almost always freezes, with Master Hand's laugh being heard at first."''
It could be that both are simultaneously controlled by port 3, and their hitboxes are colliding (as Nyargle theorized).

== Metal ==
I was doing this glitch and tested out some of the items and metal makes a fully metal master hand, which I dont see on the page, I dont have any screen captures for my gamecube, but should we have an image of metal master hand?

== 2+ playable Master Hands ==
A few days ago, my girlfriend, brother, and I came across the possibility of having more than one Master Hand. Coming here now, I find this was kind of discussed in 2015, in the section "Let me ask this..." However, we were able to get the Master Hands to take different places by using the laser attack, and we have photographs to prove it. Could I have permission to add this info to the article, and perhaps add one or more of the pictures?
