'''Motzand''' is a ghost hand that plays [[The Haunted Church|the haunted church]] organ in [[Mad Monster Mansion]]. [[Banjo]] can speak to him and afterward, Motzand will play keys on the organ that Banjo must repeat. Repeating both of Motzand's tunes earns you a [[Jiggy]] found on the highest organ pipe. Motzand disappears after he awards the two.

'''Motzand''' is a character in ''[[Banjo-Kazooie]]''.


==Characteristics==
Note: after following Motzand's tunes, the "nice music" of the church plays.
Motzand is a large, ghostly hand. Unlike other ghosts, Motzand is friendly and, like [[Gruntilda]], only speaks in rhymes.
 
==Biography==
Motzand is found playing a giant {{wp|pipe organ}} in [[the Haunted Church]] of [[Mad Monster Mansion]]. When Banjo and Kazooie enter here and climb onto the organ's music stand, Motzand challenges them to copy the notes of two tunes that he plays on the pipe organ. Banjo and Kazooie can hit the keys by using [[Beak Buster]] on each of them. At first, Motzand plays a short tune consisting of a few notes. After the duo copy the first tune, Motzand plays a longer tune that includes more notes. Once Banjo and Kazooie have copied both tunes, Motzand congratulates them and rewards them with a [[Jiggy]]. Motzand then floats upward and fades away.
 
In ''[[Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts & Bolts]]'', Motzand is mentioned by an [[Infopost]] in the Mad Monster Mansion exhibit's description, where he is described as "an organ-playing spectral hand."
 
==Name origin==
His name is a portmanteau of a famous composer, {{wp|Mozart}}, and "hand."
 
==Nomenclature==
{{Foreign names
|Jap=モーツハンド
|JapR=Mōtsuhando
|JapM=Motzand<!--"Motz Hand" might be more precise, since unlike the English name the portmanteau includes the H, but left this cell the same-->
}}


==Trivia==
==Trivia==
*The score on the music stand displays a short organ-arranged section of the Haunted Church theme.
*Motzand's name is a portmanteau of "Mozart" (as in, the composer) and "hand", as Motzand is a ghostly hand that plays the organ.
*He bears a resemblence to Master Hand from the Super Smash Bros. series.
