Hammer Flip: Difference between revisions

'''Hammer Flip''' is an attack which was introduced in ''[[Kirby Super Star]]''. It is usually one of the strongest attacks which [[Hammer]] [[Kirby]] can perform.

Hammer Flip is usually performed by pressing ↑ + attack button (or simply by holding the attack button and releasing in ''[[Kirby Battle Royale]]'' and ''[[Kirby and the Forgotten Land]]''). The user charges up their hammer as it sets on fire in a second or two, which can be interrupted by enemy's attacks during the startup. If the preparation is successful, the user does a powerful flip (usually an uppercut) with their now flaming hammer, dealing heavy [[damage]] to enemies. Flame versions can light Cannon [[Fuse]]s, burn grass, etc. like other [[Fire]]-element attacks do.

*[[Bonkers]] as a [[mid-boss]] (since ''[[Kirby's Return to Dream Land]]'');

*Playable [[King Dedede]] (since ''[[Kirby's Return to Dream Land]]''; his version has no flame in ''Kirby's Return to Dream Land'', ''Kirby Star Allies'' and ''Kirby's Return to Dream Land Deluxe'', but does in other games);

*[[Smash Bros.]] Kirby (''[[Kirby: Planet Robobot]]'');

Hammer Flip is [[smashwiki:Kirby|Kirby]]'s [[smashwiki:side special move|side special move]] in ''[[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS / Wii U]]'' and ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]'', replacing his no-element Hammer from ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]''. Hammer Flip in these games can be charged to increase power, and Kirby can move and jump slowly while charging. The uncharged version has no element and only the charged version does [[smashwiki:flame|flame]] damage. However, Kirby will receive recoil damage if it's over-charged up to a certain limit.

''[[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS / Wii U]]'' also has two custom moves that can be used in place of the Hammer Flip. The first, '''Hammer Bash''', functions much the same way as his Hammer side-special in ''Super Smash Bros. Brawl.'' The second, '''Giant Hammer''', deals more damage and has a longer reach but takes longer to attack opponents with. In these games' British English translations, the uncharged version is called Hammer, like in prior games, whereas the charged version specifically is called Hammer Flip.

Starting with ''[[Kirby Star Allies]]'', [[Hammer]] Kirby, [[Bonkers]] and [[King Dedede]] receive the Charge Hammer Flip attack instead. Its button execution remains the same (↑ + attack button).

As its name suggests, Charge Hammer Flip is chargable and the user can move and jump slowly while charging, just like the [[Smash Bros.]] version in ''[[Kirby: Planet Robobot]]''. However, if the hammer is over-charged, it will break, leaving the user with only the handle, which can still be swung for very little damage. The hammer returns to normal after this. In ''Star Allies'' exclusively, Charge Hammer Flip has no [[Power Effect|element]] by default (i.e. to reprise the traditional flame effect from the Hammer Flip in prior titles, the user has to be enchanted the [[Sizzle]] element).

*In ''[[Kirby Super Star]]'' and ''[[Kirby Super Star Ultra]]'', three [[mid-boss]]es can be one-hit KO'd by the 80 [[damage]] Hammer Flip: [[Poppy Bros. Sr.]] (80 [[Health|HP]]), [[Mr. Frosty]] (110 HP, ×2 weakness to fire) and [[Bugzzy]] (160 HP, ×2 weakness to fire).

*The name of the Charge Hammer Flip move in most languages still keep the fire element despite it having none by default in ''[[Kirby Star Allies]]''.
