In ''[[Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga]]'' and its [[Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga + Bowser's Minions|remake]], Hammers are crafted | In ''[[Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga]]'' and its [[Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga + Bowser's Minions|remake]], Hammers are crafted by the [[Hammerhead Bros.]] out of [[Hoohoo Block]]s. They are later upgraded to [[Super Hammer]]s and, ultimately, [[Ultra Hammer]]s, like in the ''[[Paper Mario (series)|Paper Mario]]'' series, though in the original game they are no stronger in battle, and in the remake they are a little bit stronger. Normal hammers are used to smash [[Brown Rock|tan-colored rocks]] (heavily-cracked grey rocks in the remake) in Mario and Luigi's path, though the upgraded hammers can destroy [[Gray Rock|grey-]] and [[Black Rock|black-colored rocks]] (slightly-cracked grey rocks and light brown rocks in the remake) respectively. They are also used to activate special buttons and switches. If the player hits an enemy with a [[First Strike]] using the hammer in the overworld, its party will be [[Dizzy|stunned]] at beginning of the battle (in the remake, doing this may [[SPD-Down|lower their speed]] instead). | ||
In battle, Mario or Luigi can do more damage by pressing their respective button when the hammer shakes; this attack has a chance of stunning the victim. Hammers are also used to [[counterattack]] certain foes' attacks like a [[Sharpea]]'s attack or the hammers [[Rookie]] throws. If the hammer is held for too long, its hammerhead will fall off; this mechanic was removed from the remake. Also, during the last two boss fights with [[Popple]], he can steal a brother's hammer and use it against them; this also [[Prohibited Command|prevents them from using any attacks involving hammers]] (with the exception of [[Fire Bros. (move)|Fire Bros.]] and [[ | In battle, Mario or Luigi can do more damage by pressing their respective button when the hammer shakes; this attack has a chance of stunning the victim.

The [[Boo]]s in [[Bowser's Castle]] can also disable Solo Hammer Actions as well with their attacks. | ||
After [[Cork and Cask]] teach them the advanced method of using their hammers, they can use more overworld and battle abilities. If Mario uses it behind Luigi, he [[Dunk Hammer|buries Luigi]]; if Luigi uses it behind Mario, he [[Mini-Mario|shrinks Mario]]. However, if the rear brother hits the lead brother over the head with the hammer prior to learning these moves, the latter will get angry at the former. The Mario Bros. also gain the [[Chopper Bros.]] and [[Knockback Bros.]] [[Bros. Attack]]s in battle after learning these moves. | After [[Cork and Cask]] teach them the advanced method of using their hammers, they can use more overworld and battle abilities.

In ''[[Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story]]'' and ''[[Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story + Bowser Jr.'s Journey]]'', Mario and Luigi gain a pair of hammers much earlier than in the previous ''Mario & Luigi'' games, finding them in [[Trash Pit]], the first area inside [[Bowser's body]]. Later, Luigi learns how to turn Mario into Mini-Mario by using his hammer in [[Pump Works]] to free [[Toadsworth]], and even later the bros learn how to use the [[Drill Bros.]] technique in the [[Energy Hold]]. The minigame in the [[Arm Center]] involves the use of the hammers in order to hit orbs at a muscle in Bowser's arm. | In ''[[Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story]]'' and ''[[Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story + Bowser Jr.'s Journey]]'', Mario and Luigi gain a pair of hammers much earlier than in the previous ''Mario & Luigi'' games, finding them in [[Trash Pit]], the first area inside [[Bowser's body]].

In battle, hammers are used | In battle, hammers are used differently in offensive. Mario or Luigi must press their button at the very last moment before the hammerhead falls. In doing so, an "Excellent" notice is shown on-screen. The hammerhead falls if the player guards for too long in the original game; in the remake, the hammer can be used to guard for an infinite amount of time. Hammers are also used during the [[Mighty Meteor]] [[Bros. Attack|Special Attack]] to hit a meteor at enemies. | ||
