Controls
This event is played using the Wii Remote held vertically. The player presses the A button to start spinning the hammer, and builds up power by rotating the Wii Remote. The color of the hammer's arc represents the amount of power. Bronze represents the least amount of power. The color will become more silver-ish, when there is a higher amount of power. The highest amount of power is represented with silver-ish blue. Once the countdown is close to zero, the player presses the 'B button to throw the hammer, press 'A right after that to make a shout. Timing and power is the key to this event. If the player presses the B button to late, throws it past the foul line or hits the cage behind them; one of the judges will call a foul! Each player gets three tries and their best try counts as their final score, the player with the best final score wins!

Description
''Take the hammer in hand, spin on the spot to build up momentum, and release the hammer in the direction of the landing area before the countdown runs out. The further away it lands, the better your score. The best of three attempts is recorded.''
