Master Hand glitch: Difference between revisions

[[File:Playable Master Hand SSBM 2.png|thumb|By performing the glitch, Master Hand can be used on any stage.|300px|right]]The '''Master Hand glitch''' is a variant of the [[Name Entry glitch]] in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]'' that allows the player to use and control {{SSBM|Master Hand}} on any stage. It is  impossible to use any other [[non-playable character]]s through this glitch. Although any player is capable of ''being'' Master Hand, only the third player is capable of actually controlling him. Like any other character, Master Hand will appear with a damage percentage meter. Since he takes no knockback at all, he cannot be [[KO]]'d except in [[Stamina Mode]]. Any options that would affect knockback, such as handicap and damage ratio, will not affect Master Hand at all. If the match ends from the pause menu, he isn't seen on the [[No Contest]] screen, and the game depicts his name as [[Sheik]]. His stock icons are still seen, though. If he wins any battle (besides a Stamina battle), the game will freeze, requiring a reset. If Master Hand is played as in [[Adventure Mode]], he will be stuck inside the level terrain. Using any of his attacks will freeze the game. If used in [[All-Star Mode]], he can go through the first fight normally, as the CPU can't detect Master Hand, so they act like he is not there. However, when Master Hand goes to the [[All-Star Rest Area]], using any of his attacks or trying to go through the portal causes the game to freeze. When attempting to do [[Classic Mode]] or [[Target Smash!|Target Test]], the game freezes on the Character Selection screen. The Target Test variant has Master Hand's evil laugh being heard on-screen. He works in every [[Event match]], but events with [[Zelda]] and/or Sheik will freeze the game. He even works in the 50th event with Master Hand and [[Crazy Hand]]. You cannot do any co-op attacks with Crazy Hand, but since you are on percentage and they are on stamina, you cannot die, but the opposing hands ''do''. Killing Master Hand can sometimes cause Crazy Hand to stop attacking you, but in event 50, he continues to target you. You can play as him in [[Home-Run Contest]], but his intro animation takes up time. The game won't freeze if you get no distance. If you go a distance, the game will either freeze, give the distance to [[Mario]] (if you broke a record), or not count it at all. He even works on [[Multi-Man Smash|Multi-Man Melee]]. He is also used in [[Training|Training Mode]]. When you exit the mode, the game doesn't freeze, but your Master Hand combos go to Mario. Resetting the mode will make him go in his opposite direction. Moves that go off-screen will make Master Hand come out from the opposite side of the screen. There is a subglitch that can be done called the [[Master Hand laser glitch|Master Hand Laser glitch]].
