'''Master Hand''' is one of the main characters and bosses of the [[Super Smash Bros. (series)|''Super Smash Bros.'' series]]. He is a large, disembodied, right glove who appears in every ''Super Smash Bros.'' game, and he first appears in ''[[Super Smash Bros.]]''.

==History==
It has been disputed as to what the Master Hand is; some say it is a god-like being with reality-warping power, while others say it is nothing more than a child with an overactive imagination playing with his toys (This assumption is strengthened by the fact that the hand is shown in a child's room and removing the dolls from a toy chest in the original ''Super Smash Bros'').
===''Super Smash Bros.''===
In ''Super Smash Bros.'', after a character has defeated every challenger in 1P Game, they are transported to a battlefield known as "[[Final Destination]]", where they battle Master Hand. After defeating him, players revert to their doll state.
 
Master Hand also briefly appears in the opening, where he brings out dolls representing the various playable characters as well as dioramas representing various stages and then snaps his fingers upon counting down to bring them to life.
He is voiced by Jeff Manning in the original, Dean Harrington in [[Super Smash Bros. Melee]], and Pat Cashman in [[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]].
==Biography==
 
===''Super Smash Bros. Melee''===
{{spoiler}}
Master Hand reappears in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]'' as the embodiment of creation. In Classic mode, the battle against Master Hand in this game is nearly identical to that of the original ''Super Smash Bros.''; after defeating all opposition, the player faces Master Hand in [[Final Destination]]. If the player clears all stages on the Normal difficulty or higher within 10 minutes without using a continue, [[Crazy Hand]] appears once Master Hand has lost half of his HP. Once defeated, Master Hand falls back into the void of Final Destination as the screen fades to white. The player reverts into a trophy, appearing among the trophies of others who have defeated Master Hand.
===Playing with dolls===
Master Hand first appeared in ''Super Smash Bros.'', where it supposedly gave several dolls based on [[Nintendo]] characters life and pitted them against each other.<ref>[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RSSXFU8jc0U Video of opening scene in ''Super Smash Bros''.]</ref> After each character defeats all challengers, they will be transported to the battlefield, the "[[Final Destination]]", where they will face off against the sinister appendage. After defeating the being, the player will revert to their original doll state.
<br clear=all>
 
Master Hand and Crazy Hand also appear in [[Lv. 50: Final Destination Match]], where the player must battle the duo with 300 HP each.
===Master and Crazy Hand===
Master Hand reappeared in the sequel to ''Super Smash Bros.'', ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]''. This game introduced Master Hand's counterpart, [[Crazy Hand]], which is said to embody lust for destruction (the game also says that Master Hand embodies creation). The battle against the Master Hand in this game is nearly identical to the original ''Super Smash Bros.''; after defeating all opposition the player will face Master Hand in [[Final Destination]]. The only difference is that if the player clears all stages on Normal level or higher within 10 minutes and without using a continue, Crazy Hand will appear once Master Hand has lost half of his HP; as is in the original, once Master Hand (and sometimes Crazy Hand) is defeated the player will revert into a trophy, appearing among the trophies of others who have defeated the Master Hand. The Master Hand is a much more difficult enemy in Melee because his health increases as the difficulty goes up, and the times can't be turned off in single player anymore (if the timer runs out, then the player automatically loses regardless of health or number of lives).
 
There is a [[List of Super Smash Bros. Melee glitches#Playable Master Hand|glitch]] that allows the player to play as Master Hand through use of the third GameCube controller port.
===Enslaved===
[[Image:MasterHandChain.jpg|thumb|'''Master Hand''' harpooned by Tabuu's Chains of Light.]]
Master Hand is featured in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]''. Though it is never actually fought in the Emissary, it appears in Boss Battles Mode with the standard Emissary boss health bar. It also appears in its usual role as the last enemy faced in Classic Mode. Crazy Hand joins it under the same circumstances as in ''Melee''; however, unlike in Melee, Crazy Hand appears immediately at the start of the battle.
 
===''Super Smash Bros. Brawl''===
In the Subspace Emissary storyline, Master Hand makes its debut as the leader of the Subspace Army, commanding its loyal minions, [[Ganondorf]], [[Bowser]], and [[Wario]]. However, near the end, it is discovered that Master Hand was being controlled by [[Tabuu]] using the chains of light, in order to trick Ganondorf, Bowser, and Wario into drawing the entire world into Subspace. Angered, Ganondorf attempts to attack Tabuu, but is blocked by a force field and turned into a trophy upon smashing into Master Hand. This severs the strings holding Master Hand, and the hand tries to fight Tabuu, but is knocked to the ground by the force field, where it lies either dead or unconscious. It is interesting to note that when Master Hand is knocked out, he does not turn into a trophy as everyone else does. After Master Hand's possible death from Tabuu, it stay on the ground and isn't even acknowledged by the other characters.
In ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'', Master Hand is featured as a boss in both Classic and Boss Battles modes. Crazy Hand joins him under the same circumstances as in ''Super Smash Bros. Melee'', but unlike the previous game, Crazy Hand appears immediately alongside Master Hand when the battle begins. Master Hand plays a brief role in Adventure Mode: The Subspace Emissary, but despite this, he is not fought as a boss in the mode.

In [[Adventure Mode: The Subspace Emissary]]'s storyline, Master Hand makes his debut as the leader of the Subspace Army, commanding [[Ganondorf]], [[Bowser]], and [[Wario]]. However, near the end, it is discovered that Master Hand is being controlled by [[Tabuu]] via the chains of light in order to trick Ganondorf, Bowser, and Wario into drawing the entire world into [[Subspace (Super Smash Bros. Brawl)|Subspace]]. Angered, Ganondorf attempts to attack Tabuu, but he is blocked by a force field and turned into a trophy upon smashing into Master Hand. This severs the chains holding Master Hand, which tries to fight Tabuu but is knocked to the ground by the force field, where he lies unconscious for the remainder of the mode. When Master Hand is knocked out, he does not turn into a trophy as everyone else does.

===''Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS''===
Master Hand returns again in ''[[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS]]'', as the final opponent in Classic mode. At intensity level 3.0 to 7.9, the player will have the option to fight either Master Hand alone or together with Crazy Hand. At 8.0, the player is forced to fight Master Hand with Crazy Hand.
 
At 5.1 and above, if the player faces both Master Hand and Crazy Hand, after enough damage is dealt, Crazy Hand will be engulfed in purple flames and exit the battle, while Master Hand begins to alter and faces the player as [[Master Core]].
 
===''Super Smash Bros. for Wii U''===
Master Hand also appears in ''[[Super Smash Bros. for Wii U]]'' with a new mode called Master Orders and may also appear in Crazy Orders if the player clears a certain amount of tickets before facing Crazy Hand. Much like in the 3DS version, he is the final boss of Classic mode and can transform into Master Core.
 
===''Super Smash Bros. Ultimate''===
Master Hand reappears in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]'' as a boss in both [[Classic Mode]] and [[World of Light]]. For the first time since the first ''Super Smash Bros.'', Master Hand can face his. In World of Light, an army of clones of the original Master Hand serve under the villain [[Galeem]]. When the player fulfills all requirements for the game's true ending, the original Master Hand and Crazy Hand open a giant rift in the sky, which the former enters.
 
For the first time, Master Hand is playable through normal means, as he is pitted in a Mob Smash-esque match against 50 light and dark false characters.
 
Master Hand also appears as an Ace-class Neutral-type primary [[Spirit (Super Smash Bros. Ultimate)|spirit]]. It allows three support slots and is obtainable by winning the last battle against Master Hand in World of Light. It is among the most powerful spirits in the game.
