Hammer (item)

Hammer.

For Kirby's Side B, see Hammer (move).

The Hammer is a close-range item that sends whoever grabs it into a clobbering frenzy for 7.5 seconds. It is one of the most "feared" weapons in the game, as it often KO's a player instantly. It originates from the Mario series, or the original Donkey Kong game.

• The Hammer has a lot of knockback.
• Characters cannot do anything except move and single jump while holding the Hammer.
• The Hammer does 22% damage every hit.
• Sometimes the head falls off and becomes a Hammer head. This leaves the swinger vulnerable, swinging just the handle for no damage.
• In SSB, it has even more knockback and deals 30%, as well as no worries about the head falling off. Also, the Hammer will glow an orange color just before the time for its use runs out.
• In SSBB, the Hammer Head might fall off once again.
• When Dedede grabs the hammer, he will also swing his own Hammer back and forth. In spite of this, he will not do damage if the Hammer head comes off.
