Hammer Flip

Hammer Flip (simply called Hammer in the PAL region) is Kirby's side special move in Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS / Wii U, based upon the Hammer Flip move used by the Hammer ability in the Kirby series and replacing his Hammer side special from the previous Super Smash Bros. games. When used, Kirby pulls out a hammer and holds it before swinging it; the move can be charged like in the Kirby series by holding down the special move button, and Kirby can move while charging. After some time, the hammer catches fire, and by charging it too much Kirby starts to be damaged one point at a time, though it does not if Kirby's damage is above 100%. If used in the air uncharged, Kirby swings twice horizontally, like the Hammer in Super Smash Bros. Brawl.

Like other special moves Hammer Flip also has two custom variants in Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS / Wii U. The first is Hammer Bash, which works similarly to the Hammer in Super Smash Bros. Brawl; Kirby instantly swings the hammer which knocks opponents straight up, and cannot be charged. The second is Giant Hammer, which is slower but the hammer is larger and deals more damage.
