Editing Hammer Slammer

This minigame operates similarly to a {{wp|High striker|strength tester}}. The player has to hit the target spot hard enough with a [[hammer]] to bring the pointer up to the desired item. If the player hits the target too hard (usually resulting in the pointer bouncing back and picking [[Koopa Kid|Baby Bowser]]), does nothing at all throughout the minigame (resulting in the pointer falling off the pole), or lands the pointer on Baby Bowser, they get nothing. It is possible, however, to hit the target too hard and still get an item.

In ''Mario Party Superstars'', [[Bowser Jr.]] takes the place of Baby Bowser, and the space theme in the background was removed in favor of a cloudy theme. Also, if the player hits the target too hard, instead of the pointer bouncing back, it flies off the pole onto the character, exploding and stunning them on contact and granting them nothing.
