How to Unlock Master Hand Without Action Replay
- 1). Insert controllers into Ports 2 and 3 of your Nintendo GameCube or Nintendo Wii system.
- 2). Boot the game by inserting the disc and turning on your console. It will automatically go to its main menu.
- 3). Click "Vs. Mode" and then "Melee" from the game's main menu. The game will go to its character selection screen.
- 4). Hover over the name entry selection for Controller 3. When you hover over the panel that is located at the bottom of the screen, a list of possible names will appear. Scroll down and hover on "NAME ENTRY."
- 5). Hover the second controller hand over the "BACK" button at the top right of the screen.
- 6). Press the "A" button on the controllers simultaneously. You may have to try this several times; you will know you have succeeded when the game proceeds to the level selection screen.
- 7). Choose any level but the "Metroid Prime" level. Once the level begins, Controller 3 will be playing as the Master Hand.
