Master Hand reprises his role as the final boss of {{SSBB|Classic Mode}} in ''Super Smash Bros. Brawl'', and once again is fought on {{SSBB|Final Destination}}. 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.

Master Hand also appears in [[Adventure Mode: The Subspace Emissary|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, which he gets via a TV screen; this leads the player to believe that Master Hand acts as the primary antagonist of the mode.

Ganondorf attacks Tabuu with his [[Dark Dive]] as an act of defiance, but is easily knocked back, though his fall causes him to break the Chains of Light that Tabuu had controlled Master Hand with, thus freeing him. Master Hand too attempts to strike Tabuu, but just like Ganondorf, is defeated with little effort. As he is a different kind of being from the playable characters, he does not change into a trophy, and simply lies motionless on the ground when defeated by Tabuu, appearing to bleed from the areas he was previously attached to; his ultimate fate is never shown.

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.

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.

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.
Like all bosses in ''Brawl'', Master Hand gains an additional ×0.6 damage resistance modifier when fought in co-op mode, effectively gaining 67% more health. This modifier is applied whenever the second player is in-game.

Like all other enemies in the game, Master Hand's damage output is based on a value unique to the stage and the chosen difficulty level. This value (known to range from 0.0 to 11.0) is given as "d" in the following tables. Unlike the previous games Master Hand is not playable, just controllable, and some move cannot be used as some will [[Game crash|freeze the game]], however the public codes disable these moves. The reason why he is not playable is because all [[boss|bosses]] in Brawl are in a class completely separate from the playable characters, just like how [[Sandbag]] is now considered an item instead of a character like in [[Super Smash Bros. Melee|Melee]]. The start button self-destructs any boss.
