Using the glitch, Master Hand can be used on any stage.

The Master Hand glitch is a glitch in Super Smash Bros. Melee. It allows the player to use and control Master Hand on any stage.

Performing the glitch

There are two ways to perform the glitch. One requires only one controller; the other requires two.

Method One (One controller)

This method works on all modes except Tournament, but every thing but Vs. Time 2:00 freezes the game.

You must have a controller in slot 3. Using this controller, place the cursor over the name field on the character selection screen. Now press the A and B buttons at the same time, and you will come to the name selection. Hold the B button, but release the A button, then go down with the cursor until you are over the "name entry field". Then press the A button at the right time. The game should want to go back to the menu, because you held the B button, but it should also want go to the name entry screen, because you pressed the A button over "name entry". If performed correctly, instead of going to either of these, the game should go to the stage selection screen. After selecting your stage, you will be playing as Master Hand.

Method Two (Two controllers)

This method is much simpler, but it only works in Melee mode. To perform it, simply have two controllers, and have one be in the third controller port, and the other in any other port. Have the controller that's not player three select any character, and then hover over the back button, while the one in the third port goes to select a name, and have them hover over the new entry button. Both controllers must then hit A at the same time, as to select their option, and the stage select screen will appear(there is slight leeway between selection, but very little, less than a second). On whatever stage selected, player 3 will be Master Hand.

Trivia

  • At the result screen, the player using Master Hand is listed as being Sheik, but her picture does not appear.
  • If this glitch is performed in Target Test Mode, when done succesfully, the game freezes as Master Hand's laugh is heard. The Audio from the game still plays after the game freezes. The same thing happens if this is done on Classic, Adventure, or All-Star mode, but without Master Hand's laugh.
