Kirby Fans Think They've Spotted Master Hand From Super Smash Bros. In Kirby's Dream Buffet

Kirby fans think that they've spotted Master Hand in the reveal trailer for Kiby's Dream Buffet.

One of the staples of the Super Smash Bros. series is Master Hand, as well as his slightly more nefarious twin Crazy Hand. These big white gloves have been in the series from the very start, appearing in the introductory cutscene for Super Smash Bros. 64 and then becoming regular boss fights throughout the series.

Super Smash Bros. isn't the only series that those white gloves have appeared in, however, as the Kirby series has also had its own white glove appear in pretty much every game's Game Over screen. Although it's never been explicitly confirmed that the gloves are one and the same, considering both Smash and Kirby are developed by HAL, it's always been assumed that it's a purposeful reference that links the two.

That's now been strengthened thanks to the reveal trailer for Kirby's Dream Buffet, a Fall Guys-esque obstacle course game coming later this year. As shared by Twitter user BlueDino152, in a blink-and-you'll-miss-it moment, when Kirby and the rest of his friends are all lining up to start the race, two gloves can be seen hovering above the race and waiting to announce when it starts.

As the race begins and the gloves dictate that it's about to start, the glove on the right-hand side can be seen counting down using his fingers, before making a snap motion. This is a direct callback to the intro of the original Smash, implying that it's actually Master Hand counting down the race for Kirby and not just some random white glove. That would likely make the other glove Crazy Hand, although he's much calmer here so he's probably chilled out a bit
