In the [[Super Mario (franchise)|''Super Mario'' franchise]], '''Hammers''' are items commonly used as weapons. They first appear in [[Donkey Kong (game)|''Donkey Kong'']], in which they are used to smash [[barrel]]s and [[List of enemies|enemies]]. Hammers are usually thrown by the [[Hammer Bro]]s and other enemies. However, [[Mario]] and [[Luigi]] have been known to effectively wield hammers in combat. The item has appeared in every single [[Genre#Role-playing|role-playing game]] of the ''Super Mario'' franchise to date, and in the ''[[Paper Mario (series)|Paper Mario]]'' and ''[[Mario & Luigi (series)|Mario & Luigi]]'' games, hammer attacks are used as a counterpart to [[jump]] attacks. Some enemies cannot be damaged by jump attacks (usually due to having a spiky top), requiring the Mario Bros. to use their hammers instead.

In ''[[Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars]]'', Mario's first and weakest weapon is a Hammer. After Mario beats the Hammer Bros. blocking the exit of [[Mushroom Way]], Mario receives a Hammer apparently dropped by them with the Hammer Bros. insignia on it. When equipped, the weapon adds ten attack points to Mario's attack rating, though each attack can have a variance of one point above or below this. When Mario uses it with a [[Action Command|timed hit]], he swings it up and down twice. This hammer can be sold for 35 [[coin]]s, but cannot be replaced.

Another hammer, which can be bought in [[Seaside Town]] for 123 coins once [[Speardovich]] is defeated, has no additional attack power, but instead has an added effect of giving a Lucky [[Bonus Flower]] if Mario defeats an enemy with a timed hit with the hammer equipped.
Other hammers can be found, being the [[Super Hammer]], [[Masher]], [[Lucky Hammer]], and [[Ultra Hammer]].

The Hammer from ''Donkey Kong'' is a powerful item in the ''[[Super Smash Bros. (series)|Super Smash Bros.]]'' series. The player swings the Hammer back and forth repeatedly, and strikes anything upward in its path. The character cannot double jump with it. Very rarely, in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]'' onwards, the head of the Hammer can fall off, and the character swings the Hammer's handle back and forth, leaving them completely vulnerable. However, the head acts as an item, and has the same power as the regular thrown item. When the Hammer is used, the Hammer theme from the NES version of ''Donkey Kong'' plays. The original arcade music is used in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]].'' In ''Super Smash Bros. Ultimate'', the visual effect that appears when a hammer collides with an enemy or obstacle in the original game can be seen when an opponent is hit. A much stronger variant originating from ''[[Wrecking Crew]]'', the [[Golden Hammer]], also appears as an item from ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'' onward.

When [[King Dedede]] grabs a Hammer, he will swing both the item and his own hammer, though only the Hammer item deals damage. [[Pit (character)|Pit]] and [[Dark Pit]] swing the Hammer with only two frames of animation, referencing their animations when using a hammer in their original games (though Dark Pit's is due to being an Echo Fighter of Pit). This also applies to [[Mr. Game & Watch]], although it is because of the way he moves. [[Wario]] swings the Hammer from side to side instead of back and forth. [[Mewtwo]] uses its telekinetic powers to make the Hammer revolve around it with the head pointed forward. All these quirks apply to the Golden Hammer as well.

The hammer returns in ''[[Paper Mario: The Origami King]]'', once again being used as an alternative to [[Mario]]'s [[Boots]]. Mario finds a spare hammer in the dungeon of [[Peach's Castle]] after being trapped down there at the start of the game. Its strength gradually increases over the course of the adventure, namely as Mario collects more [[MAX UP Heart]]s, but by default, it is slightly stronger than a jump attack. In the overworld, it can be used to rescue folded-up [[Toad (species)|Toads]] and retrieve confetti from the environment, which can then be used to fill in [[Not-Bottomless Hole|holes]].

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 [[Super Attack|Advanced]] [[Thunder Bros.]]) for a few turns or when they take it back from Popple in the remake. 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.

In battle in the real world, the hammer attack stays relative to how it was in ''Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story''. Unlike the other games, though, Mario and Luigi can hold their hammers indefinitely when counter-attacking. In the [[Dream World]], the hammer attack is amplified in power as after Mario hammers the ground with his hammer, a group of [[Luiginoid]]s appear and smash the ground in unison with their own hammers, sending out a wave that damages the enemies at the front the most, and the ones at the back the least. During Giant Battles, the hammer is split into two forms of attack, those being the [[Hammer Chop]] and [[Hammer Uppercut]] techniques, each requiring a slightly different Action Command to execute successfully.

Hammers appear in ''[[Mario vs. Donkey Kong]]'' and work the same way as in the Game Boy ''[[Donkey Kong (Game Boy)|Donkey Kong]]'', functioning as a temporary power-up. They are found above the ground, and Mario is able to grab them by jumping. After acquiring a Hammer, he starts banging it on the ground repeatedly, destroying any enemy encountered on the path. However, as in previous games, Mario is unable to jump while carrying the Hammer. He will throw the Hammers up in the air whenever he begins climbing a [[Ladder]] or falls from a great height, with the Hammer rising and falling down slowly in mid-air to allow the character to pick it up again. This period of time when the Hammer is not in use is actually included in the time it takes until it despawns. When in use, the Hammer's characteristic tune from the original ''Donkey Kong'' game also plays.

In the rest of the [[Mario vs. Donkey Kong (series)|series]], Hammers only come in pairs and are wielded by Minis in a similar fashion, swinging them on the ground as they march. They can be used to destroy enemies and fragile [[Rock (Mario vs. Donkey Kong series)|rock]]s. Just as in ''Mario vs. Donkey Kong'', the Hammers eventually wear off after a while of being used and respawn where they were originally found. Also like in the previous game, Minis will throw the Hammers upward when they start climbing a Ladder or a [[Blue Lift]], so that they can catch and continue using them shortly after. However, the time the Hammers spend in mid-air no longer adds to their lasting time, and when picked up again, their time limit resets.

**''Once you grab this hammer, you can't help but keep swinging and swinging. Who needs special moves when you've got a hammer? And forget your second jump—use that time to deliver a second lump! Oh, but the hammerhead isn't attached very well, so watch out if it pops off or something...'' (American English)

**''This is something you just can't stop swinging. At all. You'll do a lot of damage with it, but... you won't be able to jump in mid-air or use special moves, so if you fall off the stage, good luck getting back on! Oh, and if the head pops off, you'll be left waving the handle around. If that happens... man, you are going to look ridiculous.'' (British English)

**''A hammer is just a stick until you add the top. That's where this item comes into play. Sometimes, however, the top comes off. If that happens, just grab this loose part and throw it at your enemies. For some poetic justice, make the guy swinging the hammer handle your first target.'' (American English)

**''If the head of a hammer should happen to fall off while someone's waving it around, don't let it go to waste! It's great for launching people, so pick it up and throw it at someone! How about that wally waving the hammer handle around? He's just asking for it!'' (British English)
