The '''Golden Hammer''' ({{ja|ゴルデンハンマー}}, Goruden Hanmā) is an item in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'' and ''[[Super Smash Bros. 4]]''. It acts similarly to a regular [[Hammer]], but generally improved. It is more powerful, is swung faster, and can even let the user float in midair if the user taps A repeatedly. While the Hammer gives vertical knockback, the Golden Hammer gives more horizontal knockback. However, it is exceptionally rare. A platform under it spawns first, and then it will spawn the Golden Hammer with a very distinct sound effect. Also, like the Hammer's Headless Hammer, the Golden Hammer can become the Golden Squeaky Hammer.

The Golden Squeaky Hammer is a dud item. Although indistinguishable in appearance from a normal Golden Hammer, it is useless in terms of attacking; instead of the usual heavy damage and knockback, it simply squeaks when it strikes a foe, causing no damage. This is the Golden Hammer's parallel to the normal [[Hammer|Hammer's]] Headless form, except the Hammer head can deal damage when thrown. The Golden Squeaky Hammer does however grant the floating abilities of the normal Golden Hammer. Oddly enough, despite its hitbox producing no damage or knockback, it still activates [[counter]]s. The Golden Squeaky Hammer will return in ''SSB4''. [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=52g1MTvVFVw#t=3m33s]

Unlocking certain challenges will give players access to a limited supply of Golden Hammers to break some of the [[Challenge]] boxes. There are five in all to collect. Although some of the challenges can be broken open with a Golden Hammer (without having to meet the requirement to unlock that challenge), the Golden Hammer will sometimes be rejected, particularly on some of the more difficult challenges. All of the [[Boss Battles Mode]] challenges cannot be broken open with a Golden Hammer, except in the PAL version.

The Golden Hammer (ゴルデンハンマー, Goruden Hanmā) is an item in Super Smash Bros. Brawl and Super Smash Bros. 4. It acts similarly to a regular Hammer, but has its own distinctive properties to make it arguably more formidable in comparison.

Origin

The Golden Hammer as it originally appeared in Wrecking Crew.

The Golden Hammer originates from the NES game Wrecking Crew where it is a rare and temporary item that allows the player to swing faster. It is also more powerful than a normal hammer. When the hammer appears, a short tune can be heard, and when the hammer is acquired the "Power-Up Music" is played; this track can also play on Mario Bros.

Contrary to its depiction in the Smash games, the Golden Hammer cannot act "squeaky" in Wrecking Crew or otherwise malfunction.

Operation

As an item

When picked up, the Golden Hammer forces players to constantly swing the weapon back and forth, much like the standard hammer. Compared to the standard Hammer, characters wave it back and forth considerably faster, and it also has considerably higher knockback, hitlag, and damage output compared to the Hammer. While characters cannot use any attacks while swinging it, constantly tapping the attack button will cause the player to float in midair. If the Golden Hammer is dropped by its wielder, it will immediately disappear upon hitting the ground.

Wario remains unaffected by the Golden Squeaky Hammer.

Similar to how the Hammer can lose its head, the Golden Hammer also has the chance to backfire on is wielder. Called the Golden Squeaky Hammer, the item still allows players to float, but it does not inflict any damage or knockback to opponents; instead, it produces a squeaking noise upon striking them. Unusually, counters can still activate if hit by the Golden Squeaky Hammer.

In Challenges

Unlocking certain challenges will give players access to Golden Hammers to break other Challenge boxes. There are five in all to collect. Using the Golden Hammer allows the player to attain any rewards from the box, as well as revealing criteria for the two boxes next to it. However, some challenges cannot be broken with the Golden Hammers, particularly difficult challenges, as well those that involve plot elements from the Subspace Emissary. In PAL regions, this does not apply, and instead, Golden Hammers can open any box.

Trophy Description

The Golden Hammer trophy in Brawl.

The Golden Hammer Trophy is obtained by hitting 45,000 ft. (15,000m PAL) combined distance with all fighter's Home-Run Contest records.

A hammer that glows with golden light. It's easier to swing than a normal hammer, and more powerful too. If you tilt the Control Stick and press the attack button repeatedly, you float in midair. It's a very powerful item, but one that rarely appears. There's also a Golden Squeaky Hammer that does absolutely no damage at all. It's what you would call a fake.

NES: Wrecking Crew

Trivia

  • If Kirby eats a Golden Hammer, he can determine if it was a Squeaky or not. If it was a Golden Squeaky Hammer, it makes a slight squeak sound when he eats it.
