The Golden Hammer made its appearance in ''{{iw|mariowiki|Wrecking Crew|Wrecking Crew}}'' as a stronger, golden variation of a normal hammer. It can be acquired by swinging the player's hammer a number of times, adding the stage number, dividing it by eight and then leaving a remainder of one. When used, it allows the player to swing faster, easily demolish walls with a single hit, and attack enemies and send them to the bottom of the screen. When it appears, it is accompanied by a short tune. When it is acquired, it is accompanied by a unique [[List of SSBU Music (Other_series)#Power-Up Music - Wrecking_Crew|power-up theme]].

Contrary to its depiction in the ''Super Smash Bros.'' series, the Golden Hammer cannot act "squeaky" in this game, nor can it otherwise malfunction.

When the Golden Hammer spawns, only its podium will appear before the actual hammer itself grows from it. It cannot be picked up until it is fully grown from the podium. When picked up, it forces the player's fighter to constantly swing the weapon back and forth, much like the standard [[Hammer]]. Unlike the Hammer, the fighter swings it twice as fast, and it also has considerably higher knockback, hitlag, and damage output. The knockback is also diagonal, as opposed to the Hammer's vertical knockback. While the fighters cannot use any attacks while swinging it, constantly tapping the jump button will cause the player to float in midair, for a limited time.

Like the Hammer, getting hit by attacks that inflict knockback can cause the wielder to drop the Golden Hammer. In addition, it is impossible to manually let go of the Golden Hammer unless the wielder is [[tumbling]]. If the Golden Hammer is dropped by its user, however, it will immediately disappear upon hitting the ground. Golden Hammers that are dropped can be grabbed by air-dodging players.

Similar to how the Hammer can lose its head, the Golden Hammer also has the chance to backfire on its wielder. In one case, the Golden Hammer will become the '''Golden Squeaky Hammer''' ({{ja|ゴルデンピコピコハンマー|Goruden Pikopiko Hanmā}}, ''Golden Squeaky Hammer''), which allows the fighters to float, but it does not inflict any damage or knockback to opponents; instead, it produces a squeaking noise upon striking them. Unusually, [[counter]]s can still activate if hit by the Golden Squeaky Hammer, and in ''[[Smash 4]]'', Golden Squeaky Hammers that are dropped and recaught have a chance of turning into regular ones.

===In [[Challenges]]===
Unlocking specific challenges will give players access to Golden Hammers to break other [[Challenge]] boxes. Each Golden Hammer can only be used once, and in the 3DS version of ''Smash 4'', they can only be used on the grid section they have been unlocked on. Using the Golden Hammer allows the player to attain any rewards from the box without having to meet (or do) its unlock criteria for the two boxes next to it as usual. When a Golden Hammer is used once on a challenge, it's permanently erased from the player's Golden Hammer total and can't be unlocked again.

When a Golden Hammer is used once on a challenge, it's permanently erased from the player's Golden Hammer total and can't be unlocked again. Challenges cleared with a Golden Hammer are marked with a hammer symbol, which is removed when and if the unlock condition is eventually met in normal play.


In ''Brawl'', some challenges cannot be broken with the Golden Hammers, particularly those that involve plot elements from the [[Subspace Emissary]]. In the [[PAL]] version of ''Brawl'', this does not apply, and instead, Golden Hammers can unlock all challenges (without having to meet its unlock criteria).

In ''[[Ultimate]]'', new Golden Hammers are unlocked as challenges are completed. They still cannot break some challenges related to [[Adventure Mode: World of Light]], or the more difficult challengers on the other challenge pages.
