'''Hammer''' ({{ja|ハンマー|Hanmā}}, ''Hammer''), known as '''Hammer Flip''' ({{ja|鬼ごろし火炎ハンマー}}, ''[[wikipedia:Oni|Oni]]-Slaying Flame Hammer'') in the [[NTSC]] version of ''[[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.  

 

 

===In ''[[Super Smash Bros. 4]]''===

 

Kirby's Hammer retains its function in ''Smash 4''. However, it can now be charged with functionality like [[Jet Hammer]], allowing Kirby to move around and jump while charging the move. Also like the Jet Hammer, Kirby will receive [[recoil damage]] if the move is charged for too long, though this damage is not inflicted if Kirby's damage reaches or is above 100%. The move now uses a [[flame]] effect. When fully charged, it can reliably KO at 40%. It has less knockback when used in the air, but Kirby still swings twice if the attack is not fully charged.

 

In the [[NTSC]] version of ''Smash 4'', the move is called '''Hammer Flip''', the same name as a different move usable by Hammer Kirby in the {{uv|Kirby}} series that is his Up+{{button|3DS|B}} attack in its respective games. The move is still called '''Hammer''' in [[PAL]] regions, and the name "Hammer Flip" refers only to the fully charged version of the move.

 

The way Kirby moves while charging the move is similar to unused animations found in the files for the character in ''Brawl'', suggesting that Hammer Flip was intended for inclusion in ''Brawl''.

 

Special Move customization was added in ''[[Super Smash Bros. 4]]''. These are the variations:

# '''Giant Hammer''': The hammer is giant, making it much slower, but also much stronger.

 

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), rather than swinging downward from above his head, like it the ''Kirby'' series. His midair version of the attack in ''Melee'' resembles the midair attack done with the ability, Giant Hammer Swing, though Kirby would only swing the hammer once in midair.
