    Without using any cheat device, there is a way to glitch the game and be able to play as Master Hand himself.  It's called the "Name Entry" glitch.  The glitch was discovered 7 years after the initial release of SSBM.

    I just seen the video and I'm stunned.  I can't believe it has took this long to figure it out.

    I saw this earlier.  This is fantastic.  I love that it has taken seven years for this to get mainstream recognition.

    Thinking about this reminds me of the Mike Tyson's Punchout thing when the cameras in the background help you beat Tyson.  No one knew about it till recently when Nintendo talked about it.

    Dang. I always wondered how glitches like this are found, and if the developers know about it.
