'''Crazy Hand''' is the secondary antagonist in the ''Super Smash Bros.'' series, first appearing in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]''. He is the left-handed counterpart of [[Master Hand]], of whom he shares an identical appearance with. Like Master Hand, Crazy Hand is a large, disembodied, gloved hand, but unlike Master Hand, Crazy Hand embodies a being of destruction instead of creation.  

Crazy Hand also has a new move, known as the Void. He rips open some part of the air and can suck the players into a void, which deal damage after the players are launched out. The only ways to avoid the Void are using shield, and doing continuous rolls.

==Porky==

[[File:SSBB-Porky Art.png|thumb|Porky]]

Though Nintendo of America localised his name as "Pokey" in ''EarthBound'', "Porky" was used in his subsequent appearances in the ''Super Smash Bros.'' series. His Japanese name, 「ポーキー」 (''Pōkī''), can be interpreted as either, but with ''Mother 3''{{'}}s heavier "pig" themes, "Porky" is believed to be the intended name.<ref>[http://earthboundcentral.com/2012/01/pokey-or-porky/ Pokey or Porky?]</ref>

When Lucas walks alone in The Ruined Zoo, a giant statue of Porky appears and begins chasing him through the zoo, attempting to crush him. At the end of the scene, Lucas gets his leg stuck under a root and is about to be hit by the statue, when Ness appears to Lucas's rescue, destroying the statue by using PK Thunder and PK Flash. It reveals Porky inside his spider-like bed machine, and the boys battle him. Ness and Lucas defeat Porky and destroy the machine.

==Porky Statue==

[[File:SSBB-Porky Statue Art.png|thumb|Porky Statue]]

In the Subspace Emissary, Lucas is in [[The Ruined Zoo]], but after he sees the statue, he runs away. Lucas must travel through the zoo avoiding the Porky Statue. However, soon, he trips over, and just when he thinks it is over, [[Ness]] comes and uses his [[PK Thunder]] and [[PK Flash]] to destroy the large statue, but once destroyed, Porky appears and must be fought. On the hardest difficulty, the Porky Statue moves much quicker.

    

Aside from the Subspace Emissary, the Porky Statue also has a trophy, which is unlocked by beating Boss Battles on the Very Hard difficulty as the statue cannot be captured with a Trophy Stand in the Subspace Emissary, given that it is invincible and functions as a stage hazard and not an enemy in the level. It is also seen in the background of the New Pork City stage in ''Super Smash Bros. Brawl'' and ''Super Smash Bros. Ultimate''.

DOJO!!]</ref> and created the Subspace Army. His name is a corruption of the word "taboo", which means unacceptable or improper by society's terms.

Tabuu also takes notice of Meta Knight's ship, the Halberd, to use as transportation for his army, and is successfully able to attack and capture the ship. In addition, he learns of the advanced technology on the Isle of Ancients and conquers the island, using the Robots to build weapons such as Subspace Bombs in order to take parts of the world into Subspace, the Master Robot joining him in the process, turning into the Ancient Minister, serving as a deployer for the immensely powerful Subspace Bombs.<ref name="Dojo"></ref>

====The Subspace Emissary====

After suffering a humiliating defeat, Ganondorf and Bowser enter Subspace to seek out Master Hand. Planning to take control of the army, Ganondorf betrays Bowser before approaching Master Hand and bowing before him. Just as Ganondorf prepares to attack Master Hand, Tabuu reveals himself. Ganondorf tries to free Master Hand by attacking Tabuu, but he easily overpowers Ganondorf, turning him into a trophy with a single attack. Ganondorf falls on Master Hand with enough force to sever Tabuu's strings of light, freeing Master Hand. The weakened Master Hand attempts to destroy Tabuu, but Tabuu easily reflects his attack, stunning Master Hand.
