|
| '''Master Ass''' ({{ja|マスターハンド}}, ''Masutā Asto'') is a Butt-like entity who acts as the rectum of the Super Smash Bros. universe|''Super Smash Bros.'' universe and is also the craper of the [[World of Trophies]]. He is the final ass of the 1P Game in ''Super Smash Bros.'', the final boss of the Classic Mode in ''Super Smash Bros. Melee'', and the final boss of Classic mode in Super Smash Bros. Brawl.
| |
| Master Ass's origins are unknown, and his and Crazy Ass purpose is undiscovered. But both Butts are in a dualistic conflict of Master Ass|create and '''Crazy Ass|destroy'''.

| ==Appearances==
| |
|
| |
| ===''Super Smash Bros.''===
| |
| [[Image:MasterAssSSB64.jpg|thumb|right|150px|Official Artwork for Master Ass in ''Super Smash Bros.'']]In ''[[Super Smash Bros.]]'', Master Ass is the final opponent of the 1P Game. He resides in a level aptly called [[Master Ass's Residence (N64)|Master Hand's Residence]] by fans. He uses his size and shape to his advantage - he slaps, punches and flicks the player around.
| |
| Master Hand can't be defeated by normal means; instead, he has 300 HP which must be depleted. Once 0 HP is reached, he explodes into the background, and the character is turned back into a doll.
| |
|
| |
| Master Hand also appears in the opening cinematic. He positions two random characters on a table, and after carefully positioning everything, he counts to three on his fingers, snaps his fingers, and changes the table into a stage resembling [[Peach's Castle]], bringing the dolls to life.
| |
|
| |
| ===''Super Smash Bros. Melee''===
| |
| [[Image:MasterHand.jpg|right|frame|Master Hand trophy in ''SSBM''.]]
| |
| ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]'' sees Master Hand taking a similar role - he is the final boss of the 1-player Classic mode, and has a set HP which must be depleted to win. There are, however, a few changes made to him. His moveset is slightly altered, and his HP is altered based on the difficulty (for example, he only has 150 HP when fought on Very Easy mode, where ''SSB'' had him fixed to 300 regardless of the mode).
| |
|
| |
| The game also introduced [[Crazy Hand]], Master Hand's left-handed alter ego. When the two are on the field at the same time, they can perform powerful combination attacks. Crazy Hand appears when set conditions are met. The two Hands also appear when Classic Mode is reached on Hard or Very Hard and they must be defeated together.
| |
|
| |
| Master Hand does not appear in the opening cinematic, though his trophy (see below) elaborates his role in the ''Super Smash Bros.'' universe.
| |
|
| |
| Oddly, it was found that in [[Sound Test]] of the respective game, sound 64, Master Hand was named. Said sound isn't used in the game.It could be possible he was going to be playable,but the idea was scrapped during game development.
| |
|
| |
| ==== Trophy ====
| |
| Trophy #159: "The Master Hand awaits anyone who survives the long 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 get flicked, swatted, punched, and poked like crazy!"
| |
|
| |
| ===''Super Smash Bros. Brawl''===
| |
| [[Image:Various28_080225awk1.jpg|thumb|right|Master Hand's official ''Brawl'' artwork.]]
| |
| Master Hand is in [[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]. He reprises his role as the final boss of Classic mode. His attacks are very similar to that of his [[Melee]] form with some changes. The amount of HP he has is still dependent on the difficulty as well. Crazy Hand also returns in [[Classic Mode]], if certain conditions are met.
| |
|
| |
| ====Role in the ''[[Subspace Emissary]]''====
| |
| [[Image:MasterHandBrawl.png|thumb|left|Master Hand in the Subspace Emissary.]]
| |
| [[Master Hand]] also appears in the Subspace Emissary, as [[Ganondorf (SSBB)|Ganondorf's]], Wario's, and [[Bowser (SSBB)|Bowser's]] boss. Soon after a [[Subspace Bomb]] is used on a castle, Ganondorf receives new orders from Master Hand, which he gets via a TV screen.
| |
|
| |
| [[Image:MH_dead.jpg|thumb|250px|Master Hand released from his bonds.]]However, when all of the characters arrive in the Subspace world, Master Hand turns out to be [[Tabuu]]'s puppet. Ganondorf attacks Tabuu, but is easily knocked back, though while he falls he breaks Master Hand's strings, thus freeing him. Master Hand too attempts to strike Tabuu, but just like Ganondorf, is defeated with little effort. Being a bit different from the playable characters, he does not change into a trophy, and simply lies motionless.
| |
|
| |
| Knowing that he would be able to use Master Hand to recruit fighters to aid him in his goals, Tabuu enslaved Master Hand with the chains of light some time before the plot of the Subspace Emissary begins. Indeed, his trophy suggests that Master Hand himself is not inherently evil, or he disliked the fact that there was someone stronger than him.
| |
|
| |
| ===Other appearances===
| |
| Master Hand appears in the Gameboy Advance game ''[[Kirby and the Amazing Mirror]]'' as a mini-boss. Vacuuming it up will give [[Kirby]] the smash ability, an ability that gives Kirby his Melee moveset. Master Hand and Crazy Hand are also the bosses of Candy Constellation.
| |
|
| |
|
| |
| However, the concept of the Hands may have come from a boss called '''Wham Bam Rock''' from [[Kirby Super Star]] and Kirby Super Star Ultra (the game's remake), who attacked Kirby with a stone hand that used different slaps, pokes, and grabs.
| |
| In the updated version, ''Kirby Super Star Ultra'', a crystalline version called '''Wham Bam Jewel''' appears, with more parallels to the two hands.
| |
|
| |
| ==As a character==
| |
| Though there are several "cheats" that supposedly allow Master Hand to be played as a normal character, all of them are false - the only methods of controlling Master Hand are through a cheating device such as a [[GameShark]] or [[Action Replay]] or using the cheat menu on certain emulators. As expected, playing as Master Hand causes a few problems - he can cause random crashes, and depleting his HP freezes the game.
| |
|
| |
| None of the move names are official.
| |
|
| |
| ===''Super Smash Bros.'' moveset===
| |
|
| |
| Note that Master Hand's moves will automatically target the highest-numerical player other than himself (Player 1 or 2 in most cases)

| ===SSBB ===
| |
| A hacker (Y.S) made a code using USBGecko program that allows you to use bosses on boss battles on Brawl. Those are the available commands for Master Hand.
| |
| They are not playable, just controllable, they can just be used on Boss Battles, some glitches, and some attacks cannot be used.
| |
| Available commands:
| |
| [A]
| |
| [A^]
| |
| [Av]
| |
| [A<]
| |

| |
| [B^]
| |
| [Bv]
| |
| [B<]
| |
| [B>]
| |
| [R] or [L]
| |
|
| |
| ==Changes from Melee to Brawl==
| |
| *Drill Attack will almost always hit the player
| |
| *At the end of the Jet Technique will end at where it started rather than stopping all the way to the other side of the stage
| |
| *Most special effects of the moves (e.g. sparkles from the Grab) has been taken out
| |
| *With Crazy Hand, during the start of the Applause attack, characters will be hit by Fan effect when in the air.
| |

| ==Trophy Info==
| |
| ''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.''
| |
|
| |
| ==Trivia==
| |
| *Master Hand's interactions with [[Tabuu]] in the [[Subspace Emissary]] has created some debate over his true nature, especially whether or not he can be "killed".
| |
| *Master Hand's entrance laugh strongly resembles a stereotypical "evil villain" laugh.
| |
| *Master Hand appears as a boss with [[Crazy Hand]] in "Kirby and the Amazing Mirror." He is also a mini boss by himself, when, if swallowed, will give Kirby the Smash ability, which gives Kirby his Super Smash Bros. Melee moveset.
| |
| *Master Hand's moveset resembles that of Wham Bam Rock from Kirby Super Star.
| |
| *A hand appears in the opening video of ''Melee'' throwing Mario's trophy; however, this hand was not gloved. It is unknown if this is intended to be the ungloved Master Hand.
| |
| *Master Hand stars in the original SSB opening as he sets up the stage and characters. He is the first ''Smash'' character ever seen.
| |
| *The voice actor of the [[Announcer]], regardless of which Smash Bros. game, also voices Master Hand, as well as Crazy Hand in Melee and Brawl. This could lead to that believe Master Hand IS the announcer and he is the one who sets up battles, as seen in the original Super Smash Bros. opening. In character selection, a different colored hand looking similar to him is the cursor for each player.
| |
| *[[Crazy Hand|'''Crazy Hand''']] and '''Master Hand''' are the only boss characters that remain on their starting sides after an attack, Crazy remains on the left while Master remains on the right.
| |
| *The Chains of Light leave bloody wounds on Master Hand, suggesting that he may contain organic material.
