Trivia

  • The Super Hammer command in Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door battles will always deal one damage to enemies attacked behind the front enemy, regardless of attack-enhancing effects and enemy defense.
  • According to Podler, the commercial for the Super Hammer say that the hammer "chooses its user", which appears to reference Thor's hammer, the Mjolnir, which also chooses its wielder and is gray in color.
