— Figure description from Kirby and the Forgotten Land

Masked Hammer is an Evolved Copy Ability based on Hammer that appears in Kirby and the Forgotten Land. Kirby wields a mask and two hammers akin to Forgo Dedede that are both fast and have the capability to deal heavy damage. These hammers also give Kirby the ability to launch fiery twister projectiles when using certain attacks that home in on enemies.

The blueprint for Masked Hammer is given to Kirby by Minion Waddle Dee on behalf of King Dedede after he appears in Waddle Dee Town (after the main Story Mode is completed). Masked Hammer is required to unlock and play the Treasure Road stage Attack! Masked Hammer Trial.

Masked Hammer moveset
Move	Button execution	Description	Damage
ハンマーたたき Hammer Strike Hammer	B	Kirby slams a hammer in front of him.	25 8 (stamp wave)
ワイルドスタンプ Wild Stamp	B + B after Hammer	Kirby bashes the ground with his other hammer, and then bashes a third time with both hammers. The third hit produces 2 homing fire tornado projectiles which travel through enemies.	25 (Hammer hit) 8 (stamp wave) 51 (Wild Stamp hit) 12 (shockwave) 25 per hit (tornadoes)
だいしゃりん Giant Swing	B in midair	Kirby spins in a circle with both hammers out to harm enemies ahead.	25
ワイルドメテオスタンプ Wild Meteor Stamp	Hold B after Giant Swing	Kirby holds his hammers out, and boosts off the ground with them upon landing. Doing so produces 4 fire tornados radially which travel in an arc.	25 8 (stamp wave) 25 per hit (tornadoes)
ワイルドトルネイド Wild Tornado	Hold B and release	Kirby charges up and spins around with his hammers, creating a twister and hitting multiple times for high damage. If charged more, it creates an orange twister effect, and deals more damage. If charged to the max, it creates a fire twister which has more range, and deals enormous fire damage. When reaching this charge level, the hammer heads will catch fire, dealing minor fire damage to enemies that touch them. Like in Kirby Star Allies, if the Hammer is charged for too long, the hammers will burn out and Kirby will be left holding the handles which only deal minor damage. Unlike the Hammer Flip present in the other variations of the Hammer ability, this attack deals continuous damage over time.	51 per hit (uncharged) 102 per hit (mid-charged) 8 (Lv. 3 charge hits) 204 per hit (fully charged) 12 per hit (fire/overcharged)

Unlike the other evolutions of the Hammer ability, Masked Hammer's Wild Tornado is a wind elemental attack (plus fire at level 3 charge), which can solve wind-related puzzles.
