'''Hammer''' ({{ja|ハンマー|Hanmā}}, ''Hammer'') is [[Kirby]]'s [[side special move]], introduced in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]''. When used, Kirby takes hold of a hammer and horizontally swings it forwards, dealing a strong blow to enemies at medium range.

When used on the ground, Kirby takes hold of a hammer and horizontally swings it forwards, dealing a strong blow to enemies at medium range. In this form, the hammer has a very [[punish]]able [[sourspot]].
 
When used in the air, the attack takes on a new form, where Kirby swings the hammer in a vertical forward-somersaulting circle. This version of the attack strikes multiple times and can be used to slow Kirby's fall. Not only that, said midair version can be used to rack up decent damage via its wide hitbox after moves like Kirby's forward throw, regardless if it misses or not.

The sourspot from ''Melee'''s grounded version has been strengthened and is now harder to hit with. Overall, the move is one of Kirby's best KO moves.

When used in the air, Kirby swings the hammer horizontally twice, with the first hit being stronger with diagonal knockback and the second hit being a [[semi-spike]]. This version of the attack is useful against [[boss]]es, as it can deal a total of 32% damage when both hits connect, and it can be used multiple times in one jump. It also decreases Kirby's falling speed, and can aid Kirby's horizontal recovery by a small distance. However, it does not provide any distance when used without moving horizontally.

The '''non-bouncing Kirby glitch''' is a glitch that prevents Kirby from bouncing on springs. It is accomplished by using Hammer just before landing on any non-item spring.
