The Mecha Hand^[1] is a large mechanical hand modeled after Bowser's own hand that first appeared in New Super Mario Bros. U and New Super Luigi U. It is attached to Bowser's Airship, and it is most likely operated by Bowser Jr.

History

New Super Mario Bros. U / New Super Luigi U / New Super Mario Bros. U Deluxe

In the introduction to New Super Mario Bros. U and New Super Luigi U, Bowser's Airship stretches the Mecha Hand into Peach's Castle while everyone is having a tea party. It moves Princess Peach out of the way, then crushes Mario, Luigi, Yellow Toad, and Blue Toad. Finally, it grabs the four playable characters, winds up, and throws them all the way to Acorn Plains. In New Super Luigi U, Mario is not a playable character and is not at the tea party. Both games' renditions in New Super Mario Bros. U Deluxe replace one of the Toads with Toadette.

In The Mighty Cannonship (All Aboard! in New Super Luigi U), a cutscene after the Bowser Jr. boss battle has the Mecha Hand attempt to grab the player(s), though they jump out of the airship.

When the player reaches Boarding the Airship (Bowser Jr. Showdown in New Super Luigi U) for the first time, in which case the level lacks its "node" on the world map, Bowser's Airship lowers in to confront the characters and brings out the Mecha Hand. This cutscene forces the player into the level. In the level, the airship serves as a ceiling and the Mecha Hand lurks in a layer in front of it. The Mecha Hand slams the ground at certain intervals, acting similarly to the Pillars from Super Mario World. Later in the level, it punches the ground instead. This destroys the terrain as it drops, similarly to Incoming Chomps from Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island. Once the level reaches the portion taking place in the airship, the Mecha Hand leaves the screen. The boss fight against Bowser Jr. takes place high above the ship, and it ends with everyone falling back onto it. In the following cutscene, Bowser Jr. directs the Mecha Hand to crush the player(s) with its punching attack. However, the player(s) run(s) away, and the hand instead punches through the airship, causing it to malfunction and crash near the tornado engulfing Peach's Castle.

Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga + Bowser's Minions

In Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga + Bowser's Minions, the Mecha Hand is used to bring Luigi to the Koopa Cruiser, replacing the generic-looking claw in the original Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga.

Mario Tennis Aces

A smaller variant of the Mecha Hand appears as one of the attachments to the Junior Clown Car in Mario Tennis Aces. Bowser Jr. uses it as part of his Special Shot, Armed and Dangerous.

LEGO Super Mario

The LEGO Super Mario "Bowser's Airship" expansion set contains a Mecha Hand mounted on one of the ship's flagpoles.
