'''Master Hand''' is a [[Mid-Boss]] in the [[Kirby (series)|''Kirby'' series]], making his debut in the [[Super Smash Bros. (series)|''Super Smash Bros.'' series]]. He is a disembodied white glove of a right hand, often paired with [[Crazy Hand]], Master Hand's left hand counterpart.

'''Master Hand''' is a [[Mid-Boss]] in ''[[Kirby & The Amazing Mirror]]'', originally a boss from the ''[[Super Smash Bros. (series)|Super Smash Bros.]]'' series of games. He appears as a large disembodied white glove, capable of performing physical and magical attacks which are mostly lifted from his appearances in his home series. When defeated, Master Hand provides [[Kirby]] with the [[Smash Bros.|Smash]] [[Copy Ability|ability]] if [[inhale]]d and swallowed.


==Game Appearances==
Master Hand has several moves from his appearance in the ''Super Smash Bros.'' series, including finger bullets, grabbing, sweeping, and swiping. There are a handful of differences, however. One example is that his "bullets" are made of fire and are considerably slower than in the actual Smash games. If Kirby inhales one of these, he will get the [[Burning]] ability. Another difference is his throw after he grabs Kirby. Instead of throwing him downwards or sideways like he does in ''Super Smash Bros. Melee'', he smashes his fist to the ground.
===''Super Smash Bros.'' series===
[[File:SSB Kirby vs Master Hand.jpg|thumb|left|[[Kirby]] battling Master Hand in ''[[Super Smash Bros.]]'']]
Master Hand has appeared in every game of the ''Super Smash Bros.'' series to date. In each game, he is the final boss of the "Classic" single-player mode. He is the only character faced in the single-player mode whose health is measured in a decreasing amount of HP, as opposed to the accumulating-percentage system used elsewhere in the game. In [[Super Smash Bros. Melee|''Melee'']] and [[Super Smash Bros. Brawl|''Brawl'']], if {{RealMe}}'s character reaches the final battle under a certain time and on a certain intensity, Master Hand is joined by Crazy Hand, the left hand of the pair. Master and Crazy Hand both have moves similar to [[Wham Bam Rock]] and [[Wham Bam Jewel]]. Some attacks that are not shared with Wham Bam Rock and Wham Bam Jewel are shooting lasers from his fingers, poking the player, and sweeping the stage.

Master Hand appears as a Mid-Boss, as well as a boss, in ''[[Kirby & The Amazing Mirror]]''. As the former, he appears alone, and when defeated, provides [[Kirby]] with the [[Smash]] [[Copy Ability|ability]] if sucked in and swallowed. As a boss, he appears together with [[Crazy Hand]], defending the [[Mirror Shard]] of [[Candy Constellation]].

==Other appearances==
Master Hand also appears as a [[Stone]] sculpture in ''[[Kirby: Planet Robobot]]'' and as a [[Sticker (Kirby: Planet Robobot)|sticker]] in that game. He also appears as a [[Character Treat]] in ''[[Kirby's Dream Buffet]]'' (the hands that appear in gameplay are the [[Server Hands]], not Master Hand & Crazy Hand).


With Crazy Hand, he also has the new move of the hands "Hi-five"ing slowly in the center of the stage, bearing a resemblance to the "clap" move in ''Melee''. In addition, the hands retain the combo move of Master Hand punching Crazy Hand's palm.
==Trivia==
*The glove that appears in the [[Game Over]] menu is referred internally in the data as "Master Hand" ever since ''[[Kirby's Return to Dream Land]]''. However, this glove has never been named outside of the internal data. The Server Hands in ''Kirby's Dream Buffet'' are also both named "Master Hand" internally.
