In ''[[Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars]]'' and [[Super Mario RPG (Nintendo Switch)|its Nintendo Switch remake]], the Super Hammer appears as a weapon that can be bought from the shop in [[Marrymore]]'s hotel or the [[Shaman]] merchant at the [[sea]] or [[Sunken Ship]] for 72 [[coin]]s. In the game itself, it looks exactly the same as the normal Hammer, but in the official artwork for, the words "SUPER" can be seen on the hammerhead's side. | |||

In ''[[Paper Mario]]'', it can smash [[Stone Block]]s and deals more damage to enemies. In battle, a [[Action Command|timed]] Super Hammer attack deals four points of damage to a defenseless enemy without attack-raising [[Badge]]s (while Mario's normal [[Hammer]] only delivers two). It is found in [[Dry Dry Ruins (Paper Mario)|Dry Dry Ruins]] inside a small room with a stone block blocking the way out. When Mario finds the [[Ultra Hammer]] in [[Mt.

In ''[[Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door]]'', it can be used to break large [[Yellow Block]]s in addition to ordinary ones (it cannot break Stone Blocks unlike in the first game, however). In this game, it is alternatively referred to as the '''HAMMAWHACK 2005''', and is given to Mario in [[Glitzville]] by [[Podler]], who in turn received it from [[Jolene|X]], so that he could use it to smash the huge Yellow Block in the minor league locker room. Podler says that the commercials for it claim that the hammer "chooses its user", and that "they aren't cheap". In this game, the Super Hammer's hammerhead has a darker shade of grey.

In ''[[Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga]]'' and its [[Nintendo 3DS|3DS]] remake, ''[[Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga + Bowser's Minions]]'', the Super Hammer is an upgrade to the regular hammer, which can be acquired from the [[Hammerhead Bros.]] inside the caverns of eastern [[Beanbean Fields]] after mastering the [[Firebrand|Hand]] [[Thunderhand|Powers]] from [[Firebrand and Thunderhand]] in [[Oho Oasis]]'s [[Fire Palace|Fire]] and [[Thunder Palace]], though in the remake, they can only acquire them after defeating [[Mom Piranha]] in [[Beanbean International Airport]] and when [[Princess Peach]] arrives at the [[Beanbean Kingdom]] on her plane, where the Hammerhead Bros. will inform Mario and Luigi about them moving in the caverns of eastern Beanbean Fields after leaving Beanbean Castle. | |||
Super Hammers allow the brothers to smash [[Gray Rock|gray-colored rock]]s (chinked gray-colored rocks in the remake) in the overworld, one of which happens to be blocking the entrance to [[Teehee Valley]], and another blocks the entrance to the first room of eastern Beanbean Fields' caverns, which allows the brothers to acquire the [[Secret Scroll 1]] and learn the [[Swing Bros.]] [[Bros.

Unlike the Super Hammers in the ''Paper Mario'' series, they are not significantly stronger in battle in the original game, but they do increase the hammer attack's damage variance slightly, similar to its succeeding upgrade, the [[Ultra Hammer]]. | |||

The Super Hammer is a powerful upgrade to the regular hammer appearing mostly in some of the role-playing games.
History[edit]
Donkey Kong (Game Boy)[edit]
Super Hammers are items introduced in the Game Boy version of Donkey Kong. Super Hammers can defeat enemies as well as break through brick walls and some floors. Super Hammers are first encountered in Stage 5-1. Mario cannot jump while holding a Super Hammer, but he can still throw one upward, allowing him to take the Super Hammer to a higher platform.
Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars[edit]
In Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars and its Nintendo Switch remake, the Super Hammer appears as a weapon that can be bought from the shop in Marrymore's hotel or the Shaman merchant at the sea or Sunken Ship for 72 coins. In the game itself, it looks exactly the same as the normal Hammer, but in the official artwork for, the words "SUPER" can be seen on the hammerhead's side.
Paper Mario series[edit]
Paper Mario[edit]
In Paper Mario, it can smash Stone Blocks and deals more damage to enemies. In battle, a timed Super Hammer attack deals four points of damage to a defenseless enemy without attack-raising Badges (while Mario's normal Hammer only delivers two). It is found in Dry Dry Ruins inside a small room with a stone block blocking the way out. When Mario finds the Ultra Hammer in Mt. Lavalava, it replaces the Super Hammer.
Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door[edit]
In Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door, it can be used to break large Yellow Blocks in addition to ordinary ones (it cannot break Stone Blocks unlike in the first game, however). In this game, it is alternatively referred to as the HAMMAWHACK 2005, and is given to Mario in Glitzville by Podler, who in turn received it from X, so that he could use it to smash the huge Yellow Block in the minor league locker room. Podler says that the commercials for it claim that the hammer "chooses its user", and that "they aren't cheap". In this game, the Super Hammer's hammerhead has a darker shade of grey. The Super Hammer in this game grants Mario a new move, also known as the Super Hammer, that can be used both on the field and in battle. Holding while the player does not have the Super Hammer prevents Mario from moving, though this was rectified for international releases.
Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga / Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga + Bowser's Minions[edit]
In Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga and its 3DS remake, Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga + Bowser's Minions, the Super Hammer is an upgrade to the regular hammer, which can be acquired from the Hammerhead Bros. inside the caverns of eastern Beanbean Fields after mastering the Hand Powers from Firebrand and Thunderhand in Oho Oasis's Fire and Thunder Palace, though in the remake, they can only acquire them after defeating Mom Piranha in Beanbean International Airport and when Princess Peach arrives at the Beanbean Kingdom on her plane, where the Hammerhead Bros. will inform Mario and Luigi about them moving in the caverns of eastern Beanbean Fields after leaving Beanbean Castle.
Super Hammers allow the brothers to smash gray-colored rocks (chinked gray-colored rocks in the remake) in the overworld, one of which happens to be blocking the entrance to Teehee Valley, and another blocks the entrance to the first room of eastern Beanbean Fields' caverns, which allows the brothers to acquire the Secret Scroll 1 and learn the Swing Bros. Bros. Attack by playing a minigame hosted by a Thwomp for 300 coins. Unlike the Super Hammers in the Paper Mario series, they are not significantly stronger in battle in the original game, but they do increase the hammer attack's damage variance slightly, similar to its succeeding upgrade, the Ultra Hammer.
