| ==History==
| | It is present during the intro, where it tosses [[Mario]], [[Luigi]], [[Yellow Toad]], and [[Blue Toad]], into the [[Acorn Tree]], [[The Mighty Cannonship]] ([[All Aboard!]] in ''New Super Luigi U''), where it attempts to knock the players out of the airship, and [[Boarding the Airship]] ([[Bowser Jr. Showdown]] in ''New Super Luigi U'') where it acts similarly to the Smashers in ''[[Super Mario World]]'', and the [[Chomp]]s from ''[[Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island]]''. Ultimately, the hand destroyed the Flagship when it attempts to crush the players while they are on board. |

| The Mecha Hand is present during the intro, where it tosses [[Mario]], [[Luigi]], [[Yellow Toad and Blue Toad|Yellow Toad]], and [[Yellow Toad and Blue Toad|Blue Toad]] into the [[Acorn Tree]]. In [[The Mighty Cannonship]] ([[All Aboard!]] in ''New Super Luigi U''), a cutscene after the Bowser Jr. boss battle has the Mecha Hand attempt to grab the player(s), though they jump out of the [[airship]].
| |
| | |
| In [[Boarding the Airship]] ([[Bowser Jr. Showdown]] in ''New Super Luigi U''), the Mecha Hand has a gameplay role. Starting at the top of the screen, the Mecha Hand slams the ground at certain intervals, acting similarly to the [[Pillar]]s from ''[[Super Mario World]]''. It is also capable of punching the ground, destroying the terrain as it drops. This behavior is similar to that of the [[Incoming Chomp]]s from ''[[Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island]]''. After the boss fight against Bowser Jr., the characters land on the ship. Bowser Jr. directs the Mecha Hand to attack the player(s). However, the player(s) run(s) away, causing the hand to punch and destroy the airship.

| ===''Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga + Bowser's Minions''===
| |
| In ''[[Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga + Bowser's Minions]]'', the Mecha Hand is used to bring Luigi to the [[Koopa Cruiser]], replacing a generic-looking claw in the original ''[[Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga]]''.
| |
| | |
| ===''Mario Tennis Aces''===
| |
| A smaller variant of the Mecha Hand appears as one of the attachments to the [[Junior Clown Car]] in ''[[Mario Tennis Aces]]''. Bowser Jr. uses it as part of his [[Special Shot (Mario Tennis Aces)|Special Shot]].
| |
| | |
| ===LEGO ''Super Mario''===
| |
| The [[LEGO Super Mario|LEGO ''Super Mario'']] "Bowser's Airship" expansion set contains a Mecha Hand mounted on one of the ship's flagpoles.
