Master Hand is a character and main villain in the Super Smash Bros. series. The Master Hand is a large, disembodied, glove-clad hand that has a strange resemblance to Mario's gloves. It is one of the main antagonists of the Super Smash Bros. series.
Super Smash Bros.
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. After whatever character the player chooses 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.
Super Smash Bros. Melee
Master Hand reappeared in the sequel to SSB, 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 Crazy Hand will occasionally appear (only on normal, hard, and very hard difficulty, though); 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.
Other Appearances
Strangely, the hand appears as a boss in the Game Boy Advance game [Wikipedia:Kirby_and_the_Amazing_Mirror Kirby and the Amazing Mirror], where if Kirby sucks Master Hand up in a mini-battle with him up, he will gain his Super Smash Bros. moves. A ghost-like shapeshifting entity called Uja also appeared in Kirby Squeak Squad, and it would either transform into a sword or a smaller Master Hand.
Master Hand's Species
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. Brawl?
The Master Hand has been hinted on Smash Bros. DOJO!! to reappear, though it is speculated that he may be replaced by the Ancient Minister as the main antagonist. However, Classic Mode was recently confirmed, and because the Ancient Minister is important in The Subspace Emissary, it is likely that the Master Hand will re-fulfill his role as the final boss of Classic Mode.
Trivia
- A giant glove that looks like Mario's glove appears in Mario Party 5 mini-game Handy Hoppers. It bears a slight resemblance to the Master Hand, though any relation is unlikely.
Trophy Information
The Master Hand awaits anyone who survives the long and difficult road to the Final Destination. This symbolic link between the real world and the imaginary battlefields of Super Smash Bros. Melee is quite a handful in battle, and just because it wears a white glove doesn't mean it fights clean. Get ready to be flicked, swatted, punched, and poked like crazy.
