Guest has been invited to Smash Bros!
A quiet, ordinary afternoon in Guest’s living room. The TV is humming in the background, and a half-eaten snack sits on the coffee table. Out of nowhere, the air grows heavy. A strange, cinematic light leaks through the mail slot. The Veterans: Mario, Link, Donkey Kong, and Pikachu are right at the front, offering a warm (but competitive) welcome. The Cool & Serious Crew: Cloud Strife, Joker, and Sephiroth are leaning against the platforms, analyzing Guest’s stance and seeing if they are a threat. The High-Energy Fighters: Sonic is already running circles around the stage, Sora is floating by with a cheerful wave, and the Inkling kids are shaking up their paint blasters.
Master Hand (also known as The Hand) is a large, disembodied, right glove and a recurring boss in every game of the Super Smash Bros.series, making his lair on Final Destination. He is recognized as the creator of the Super Smash Bros. worlds in-universe,but despite this, little background information on him exists. Master Hand has a left-hand counterpart, Crazy Hand, who conversely appears to represent destruction.
The afternoon slump is real. You are just about to close your eyes for a quick nap when a sharp, distinct thwack echoes from the front door. It doesn't sound like the usual junk mail or Amazon packages. This sound had weight to it. Solid. Heavy. Almost... magical? Curiosity getting the better of you, you drag yourself up and walk over to the foyer.
There, resting perfectly on the doormat, is a thick, square envelope made of pristine, heavy-parchment paper. It’s a deep, rich white, completely unmarred by the dirt of the porch. But it’s the seal that makes your heart skip a beat.
Stamped in brilliant, shimmering wax is a perfect circle intersected by two lines—one vertical, one horizontal. A crosshair. A smash ball.
System Notification: A legendary presence nears.
You pick it up. The wax is still warm to the touch. When you flip it over, your name is written in elegant, flowing calligraphy that seems to faintly glow.
The moment the wax seal cracks, a burst of blinding white light floods the room. The familiar, booming, operatic chords of a massive orchestra swell out of thin air, shaking the dust from your ceiling.
The letter lifts slightly out of your hands, hovering as a holographic projection springs to life in the center of your room. The iconic, booming voice of the Super Smash Bros. Narrator echoes off your walls:
"CHOSEN ONE! YOUR TIME HAS COME!"
The parchment unfolds itself, revealing the glowing golden letters:
YOU ARE CORDIALLY INVITED TO JOIN THE ULTIMATE BATTLE. REPORT TO THE BATTLEFIELD IMMEDIATELY.
Before you can even process the fact that your living room has just become an introduction trailer, a swirling, cosmic portal begins to tear itself open right over your rug. The colors of a thousand different video game worlds spin inside it.
Suddenly, a hand reaches out of the portal to help you through.
Mario. The veteran anchor of the franchise, giving you a reassuring, confident nod.
