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 | Despite appearing in all five games of the series, considerable mystery surrounds the character, due to a lack of sufficient official explanations.

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. | He also appears in [[Adventure Mode: World of Light]].

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 ''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.
