'''Hammer''' is an ability which provides Kirby with a wooden mallet to wield against foes and obstacles. Its mechanics work similar to the [[Sword]] ability, though Hammer is slower, yet more powerful. First appearing in ''[[Kirby's Adventure]]'', it is one of Kirby's oldest copy abilities in the series. Oddly, while most Copy Abilities were given a hat in ''[[Kirby Super Star]]'', Hammer Kirby's sprite remained unaltered, except for the hammer itself. This was changed in ''[[Kirby: Nightmare in Dream Land]]'', which depicts Hammer Kirby with a white-blue striped headband. Hammer is a somewhat rare ability, since it can only be obtained from the mini boss [[Bonkers]], [[Dygclops]], an enemy which exclusively appears in the boss fight against [[Heavy Mole]], and from bubbles in [[Kirby: Squeak Squad]]. It is one of the few abilities that can be used underwater, and it is also one of the two abilities that can push wooden [[Post]]s into the ground and destroy metal blocks. | '''Hammer''' is an ability which provides Kirby with a wooden mallet to wield against foes and obstacles.

Hammer reappears in ''[[Kirby Super Star]]'' and its remake ''[[Kirby Super Star Ultra]]''. Like most Copy Abilities its moveset has changed and improved from its previous incarnation. Aside from regular attacks, the Hammer can now be charged and release a flame attack, which can even light fuses, and it can even be thrown at enemies, which, however, causes Kirby to lose the Hammer ability. Hammer Kirby can also summon Bonkers who then acts as a [[Helper]]. | Hammer reappears in ''[[Kirby Super Star]]'' and its remake ''[[Kirby Super Star Ultra]]''.

The Hammer ability also plays a somewhat special role during Kirby's fight against Masked Dedede in ''Kirby Super Star Ultra''. Before the fight begins, King Dedede offers Kirby a Hammer to battle, which is a spoof of [[Meta Knight]]'s habit to give Kirby a Sword before the battle begins. Kirby can ditch the hammer after collecting it, though, and fight Masked Dedede the regular way. Hammer Kirby makes another appearance during the introduction cutscene of The True Arena. | The Hammer ability also plays a somewhat special role during Kirby's fight against Masked Dedede in ''Kirby Super Star Ultra''.

*Hammer is almost universally regarded as the best Copy Ability for inflicting [[damage]] quickly. Hammer Flip in particular is one of the most damaging attacks in the entire series that isn't single-use. | |||
