Hammer Slammer

Hammer Slammer is an Item minigame found in Space Land in Mario Party 2. It is also a regular item minigame in Mario Party Superstars.

Gameplay
The player has to hit the target spot hard enough with a hammer to bring the pointer up to the desired item. If the player hits the target too hard (resulting in the pointer bouncing back and picking the Baby Bowser item), does nothing at all throughout the game (resulting in the pointer falling off the pole), or lands the pointer on the Baby Bowser item, they get nothing. It is possible, however, to hit the target too hard and still get an item.

In Mario Party Superstars, Bowser Jr. takes the place of Koopa Kid, and the space theme in the background is removed in favor of a cloudy theme.

Controls

In-game text
