The '''Golden Hammer''' ({{ja|ゴルデンハンマー|Goruden Hanmā}}, ''Golden Hammer'') is an item in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'', ''[[Super Smash Bros. 4]]'', and ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]''. It acts similarly to a regular {{b|Hammer|item}}, but has its own distinctive properties to make it arguably more formidable in comparison.
The '''Golden Hammer''' ({{ja|ゴルデンハンマー|Goruden Hanmā}}, ''Golden Hammer'') is an [[item]] from {{uv|Wrecking Crew}}.
 
The Golden Hammer has been considered part of the {{uv|Mario}} universe since its debut in ''Brawl'', despite {{uv|Wrecking Crew}} later getting its own proper universe in ''Smash 4''.

The Golden Hammer originates from the [[nwiki:NES|NES]] game ''[[mariowiki:Wrecking Crew|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, then when the hammer is acquired the [[List of SSBB Music (Nintendo series)#Power-Up Music|Power-Up Music]] track is played; this track can also play on the [[Mario Bros.]] stage.
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 ''Smash'' games, the Golden Hammer cannot act "squeaky" in ''Wrecking Crew'', nor can it otherwise malfunction.

When the item spawns normally, only its podium will appear. A second later, the actual Golden Hammer will grow from it. The hammer cannot actually be picked up until it is fully grown from the podium. 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 (about twice as fast as the standard Hammer), and it also has considerably higher knockback, hitlag, and damage output compared to the Hammer. Its knockback is also diagonal, as opposed to the Hammer's vertical knockback. While characters cannot use any attacks while swinging it, constantly tapping the jump button will cause the player to float in midair, for a limited time.
The Golden Hammer debuts as a duration/battering item in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]''.
 
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 wielder, 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. Called the '''Golden Squeaky Hammer''' ({{ja|ゴルデンピコピコハンマー|Goruden Pikopiko Hanmā}}, ''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, [[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 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.

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 hammers are unlocked as challenges are completed. They still cannot break some challenges: the [[World of Light]] plot-related ones, and the hardest ones on the other challenge pages.

''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.''
