Master Core (マスターコア, Masutā Koa^?) is a boss in Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS. He is the Final Boss of the game's Classic Mode and Master Hand's true form when it is played on 5.1 intensity or higher. Once the player brings Master Hand and Crazy Hand's health to a certain point, Master Hand's glove rips open, releasing a swarm-like substance that transforms into one of five different forms to fight. The player must knock as much of this swarm away as possible to expose the core. The higher the intensity, the denser the substance will be, and the more forms it will use. The HP can't be determined, since the tile is covered by the dense swarm, but it's possible to determine it by seeing how less dense Master Core's Swarm is.

If playing on an intensity 5.1 or above, it will only use its "Master Edge" form and "Master Shadow" form; starting at level 6.0, it will introduce its "Master Beast" form; and near the 9.0 intensity, its "Master Giant" form will appear. In the Wii U version it will also appear in its "Master Fortress".

Forms

Swarm

Swarm is the first form Master Core ever uses. He uses this to transform into any form he has.

Master Giant

The Master Giant form is a large humanoid creature. It appears as Master Core's starting form at Intensity 7.5 and up, it uses its hands to attack and lift the stage.

Master Beast

Master Beast is a giant beast that sometimes uses his jaws to attack the opponents.

Master Edges

Master Edges are sword forms that do fast slash attacks and creates projectiles.

Master Shadow

In the penultimate phase, Master Core forms a bigger copy of the player's character, including any equipment or Custom Moves the player's character might have; if the player is using an alternate form of a character, such as a female Robin, male Wii Fit Trainer, and Alph, Master Core will copy these as well. The copy shrinks while fighting.

Master Fortress

The Master Fortress only appears in the Wii U version of the game. It only appears on higher difficulties. Once a player defeats the other forms, they are given a heart container to replenish their health before venturing inside.

Master Core

The last form, it's a rainbow-colored orb resembling the series symbol, which must be knocked out of the blast-zone. However, if it's not knocked out, it will blast the player's character off the stage with its wave attack, an instant K.O. move.

Trivia

• Master Core's humanoid design resembles a Shaydas, but without the blades and only having one head.
• Master Core's wave attack is possibly a resemblance of Tabuu's Off Wave attack.
• In a part of Master Core's music, it will play a morse code, which is Master Core if translated. [1][2]
