Summary[]
Master Hand is a disembodied hand-like entity who acts as the main recurring boss and creator in the Super Smash Bros. universe. He resides at Final Destination at all times, waiting, as the final boss of the 1-Player Game in Super Smash Bros. and of Classic Mode in the sequels Super Smash Bros. Melee, Super Smash Bros. Brawl, and Super Smash Bros. 4 (a.k.a., Wii U and 3DS). Master Hand's left-hand counterpart, Crazy Hand, was introduced in Melee.
Despite appearing in all four games of the series, considerable mystery surrounds the character, due to a lack of sufficient official explanations. Theories have been made surrounding Master Hand maybe being a kid playing with his toys (the Smash fighters), being the creative desire of the child, while Crazy Hand is the destructive desire of the child. Tabuu has also been incorporated into the theory, representing society telling the child to stop playing with his toys--and Master Core is, the child having grown into an adolescent, the regret the man has for still playing with his toys. In spite of all of this, nothing has been confirmed, and thus, he is only known as the creator of the Super Smash Bros. universe, and in Brawl, as the master of the World of Trophies. His trophy info in Brawl seems to imply that he does not use his full power against the Smash fighters, and merely toys with them for his own enjoyment. As illustrated in Super Smash Bros 4, it is possible that his full power is actually Master Core... but there is little to no information about the relation between the two, thus, that'd be speculation.
Overall, Master Hand is a character that is shrouded in mystery.
