'''Ultra Hammer''' is a move used by [[Mario]] in ''[[Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door]]'' and its [[Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door (Nintendo Switch)|Nintendo Switch remake]]. It acts as a stronger variant of the [[Super Hammer (move)|Super Hammer]] move, and is unlocked when Mario obtains the [[Ultra Hammer]]. It fully replaces the Super Hammer move in the overworld once it is learned, though the Super Hammer move can still be used in battle.

Like Super Hammer, Ultra Hammer causes Mario to twist himself up before swinging his [[Hammer]] while spinning. In the overworld, it is performed by holding down {{button|gcn|b}}, rotating the {{button|gcn|stick}} a number of times, and then releasing {{button|gcn|b}}. In addition to Super Hammer's effects, Ultra Hammer can be used to destroy [[Stone Block|Big Stone Block]]s. Hitting an enemy with it in the overworld allows Mario to use Ultra Hammer as a [[First Strike]] without consuming any [[Flower Point]]s.

In battle, Ultra Hammer costs 4 FP. Its [[Action Command]] closely resembles that used for normal Hammer attacks and Super Hammer, but nine lights light up before the star, requiring {{button|gcn|stick}} to be held for slightly longer than Super Hammer. It has mostly the same effects as Super Hammer, dealing 6 base damage to the targeted enemy and smacking it backward, but enemies behind the target that the target is smacked into take 3 piercing damage instead of 1, which isn't affected by Mario's attack modifiers. Like Super Hammer, Ultra Hammer can knock body segments off of [[Pokey]]s and [[Poison Pokey]]s, and if one of these enemies is the target of the attack, a segment is smacked back in place of the entire enemy, dealing damage equal to the damage of the respective Pokey's body segment-throwing attack.
