'''Hammer''' ({{ja|ハンマー | '''Hammer''' ({{ja|ハンマー}} ''Hanmā''), known as '''Hammer Flip''' in ''[[Super Smash Bros. 4]]'', 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, 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. | When used in the air, the attack takes on a new form, where Kirby swings the hammer in a vertical forward-somersaulting circle.

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. | 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]].

===In ''[[Super Smash Bros. 4]]''=== | |||
Kirby's Hammer, now the "Hammer Flip", is confirmed to retain its function in ''Smash 4''. It can also be charged on the ground with functionality like [[Jet Hammer]], allowing Kirby to move around while charging the move. Also like the Jet Hammer, Kirby will receive recoil damage if the move is charged too long. The move now uses a [[flame]] effect. The way Kirby moves while charging the move is similar to the [[#Trivia|unused animations]] found in the files for the move in ''Brawl''. | |||

Hammer is one of Kirby's many copied abilities from his various adventures. It is often one of the most powerful ones, dealing massive damage to enemies. The hammer is almost identical in appearance to King Dedede's. The way Kirby swings his hammer is almost similar to the Hammer Flip move from the said ability (where Kirby swings upward/inwards with a flaming hammer), which is one of the most powerful attacks in the series. His midair version of the attack in Melee resembles the midair attack done with the ability. In SSB4, the Hammer Flip is based on the move of the same name in the the Kirby series. | |||

''Swing a mighty hammer vertically in the air or side-to-side on the ground.'' | |||
==Description from the ''Brawl'' Instruction Booklet== | |||
''Attack with a giant hammer. The attack strikes horizontally in the air and on the ground.'' | |||

==Trivia== | ==Trivia== | ||
*In the E3 2006 movie of ''Brawl'', Kirby is seen using the vertical spin version of the aerial Hammer (as in ''Melee''). The reason for the change in the hammer's mechanics and why the hammer acted the way it did at E3 2006 is unknown. | |||
*In the E3 2006 movie of ''Brawl'', Kirby is seen using the vertical spin version of the aerial Hammer | *''Brawl'' contains two unused animations for the Hammer: one for walking while holding the Hammer at the ready, and another labeled "Max" that would have likely hit on frame 76. It is possible that at some point in development, the move could be charged akin to [[Jet Hammer]]. | ||
