Master Hand is a Nintendo character created by Masahiro Sakurai. He is a floating right-hand glove that appears as a boss in every Super Smash Bros. game's single-player game mode, beginning with the original Super Smash Bros. (1999). He is responsible for setting up the fights between the various characters. His left-hand counterpart, Crazy Hand, was introduced in Super Smash Bros. Melee (2001). He has been voiced by Xander Mobus since Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS and Wii U (2014).

Master Hand is primarily a non-playable character, only playable in certain ways, such as a glitch in Melee and officially in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate (2018). He has been generally well received, considered a favorite boss fight by multiple critics. Master Hand has been the subject of analysis as to what he represents, with theories positing him as the player or developers, among others.
