History
- Main article: SmashWiki:Master Hand
Super Smash Bros.
Master Hand first appears in Super Smash Bros., where he supposedly uses his imagination to give his playset of Nintendo characters life and pits them against each other. After a character defeats all challengers, he or she is transported to a battlefield known as "Final Destination", where he or she battles against Master Hand. After defeating the being, players revert to their doll state.
Super Smash Bros. Melee
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.
Master Hand and Crazy Hand also appear in Event 50: Final Destination Match, where the player must battle the duo with 300 HP each.
A glitch, called the Master Hand glitch exists allowing the player to play as Master Hand through use of the third GameCube controller port.
Super Smash Bros. Brawl
Master Hand is featured in Super Smash Bros. Brawl. Though he is never actually fought in the Subspace Emissary, he appears in Boss Battles Mode with the standard Emissary boss health bar. He also appears in his usual role as the last enemy faced in Classic Mode. Crazy Hand joins him under the same circumstances as in Melee; however, unlike in Melee, Crazy Hand appears immediately at the start of the battle.
In the Subspace Emissary storyline, Master Hand makes his debut as the leader of the Subspace Army, commanding his loyal minions, 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. 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.
Of the three minions that work for Master Hand, only Bowser is truly loyal to him; Bowser is heavily troubled when he sees Master Hand motionless. Ganondorf plans on betraying Master Hand, while Wario only does the work for his own amusement.
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 in what may be his true form: the shape-shifting Master Core.[1]
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 again transform into Master Core.

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! |

A being tied to the link between this world, where trophies fight, and the world beyond. The meaning of his existence is unknown, as are his goals, but he seems to have obtained (and kept hidden) a power that borders on absolute. He also seems to feel a certain joy in challenging chosen warriors who've claimed many victories. He waits even now in Final Destination. |

The mysterious Master Hand is the source of creation in the Smash Bros. universe. He appears in Final Destination when all other rivals are defeated. He fights with a diverse move set and only grows stronger if you make him angry. If you know when to fight and when to dodge, you'll take him down! |
Master Hand personifies creation in the Smash Bros. universe. After defeating all your rivals, you face him in Final Destination. He forms various shapes to unleash a wide range of attacks, and on high intensities he'll become speedier, deal more damage and launch you further. To beat him, you'll need to know when to attack and when to hold back. |
Blue indicates exclusive to the Wii U version.

Trivia
- In Kirby & the Amazing Mirror, Master Hand is a recurring boss throughout the game. Once defeated, Kirby can inhale it to gain the Smash ability, allowing him to use his moves in Super Smash Bros. Melee. Master Hand also appears later in the game as a boss alongside Crazy Hand.
