The '''Hammer''' ({{ja|ハンマー|Hanmā}}, ''Hammer'') is a close-range | The '''Hammer''' ({{ja|ハンマー|Hanmā}}, ''Hammer'') is a close-range item that appears in all ''{{b|Super Smash Bros.|series}}'' games. Upon being grabbed by any player, it sends them into a unique state that inflicts significant damage and knockback. | ||

The hammer comes from the arcade game '' | The hammer comes from the arcade game ''Donkey Kong''. In ''Donkey Kong'', when Mario obtains the hammer, he is unable to stop swinging until the hammer disappears. He also is unable to climb {{s|supermariowiki|ladder}}s while swinging the hammer. The hammer can be used to destroy {{s|dkwiki|barrels}} that are being rolled down towards Mario, and can be used against other enemies. | ||
Contrary to its depiction in the ''Super Smash Bros.'' series, the Hammer's head cannot fall off in the game, nor can it otherwise malfunction. | |||

Upon picking up the Hammer, characters enter a unique state | Upon picking up the Hammer, characters enter a unique state; they will constantly swing the hammer back and forth, and will be unable to midair jump, attack, or defend. The Hammer also cannot be manually dropped unless the user has been sent into a state of tumbling. The Hammer deals about 22% per hit, and it also deals extremely high vertical knockback, potentially KOing opponents at low percentages; the effects of the Hammer are even more formidable in ''Super Smash Bros.'', where the Hammer instead does 30% damage with even more knockback. The Hammer disappears after seven seconds. | ||
The Hammer, however, limits the user's options, and particularly careful hitbox placement by other characters can potentially interrupt the wielder. [[Counter]]s are especially powerful against Hammers since most of them deal more damage for any attack they counter. As the wielder of the hammer cannot use special moves or midair jump, sending an opponent off a ledge while they swing the Hammer can effectively KO them unless they can somehow drop the Hammer.

In ''Brawl'' and ''Smash 4'', the Hammer also operates on a "timer"; if a character wielding the Hammer is constantly hit so that they cannot swing the item, the timer will still count down, potentially getting rid of the Hammer before they can properly utilise use it. | ||

:''If you grab the Hammer, you'll run across the screen swinging it back and forth nonstop. In Donkey Kong, Mario used the Hammer in exactly the same fashion. It's an extremely powerful item, but you have no recovery move when carrying it. Every now and then, the mallet head will fall off, and you'll end up completely vulnerable, swinging just the handle.'' | |||

:''An item that, once grabbed, makes you swing nonstop. It's a powerful attack item that does terrific damage and sends opponents sailing. Once in a great while, the hammer's head will fall off, leaving you nothing but the handle. Of course, you can't tell whether the head is securely fastened just by looking. Hammer heads that fall off can be picked up and thrown as weapons.'' | |||

{{ | ==Trivia== | ||
* Certain characters have unusual Hammer-swinging animations: | |||
** [[King Dedede]] swings both the item and his own hammer in a back-and-forth fashion; his own hammer, however, does not actually do any damage, even if the Hammer's head falls off. | |||
** [[Pit]] swings the Hammer by pivoting his wrist in right angles; furthermore, his animations become much choppier, with his jumping and walking animations referencing Pit's sprite from the original ''Kid Icarus''. This behaviour carried over to [[Dark Pit]] in ''Smash 4''. | |||
** [[Mewtwo]] holds the Hammer sideways and rotates it horizontally around itself. As a result, its effective range is severely reduced, as Mewtwo is significantly more vulnerable from attacks that harm it from above than other characters. | |||
*In ''Melee'', {{SSBM|Mr. Game & Watch}}'s model can be seen in 3D when turning around with a Hammer. This doesn't happen in ''[[Brawl]]'' or ''[[Smash 4]]''. | |||
