History[edit]
Wrecking Crew[edit]
InWrecking Crew, to obtain a Golden Hammer, the player must swing their hammer a number of times so that the number of swings plus the stage number divided by eight leaves a remainder of one; the earliest a Golden Hammer can appear is thePhase 4. In addition, the player must also strike a certainbomb to obtain the hammer. While using the Golden Hammer, the player can also temporarily hover in midair by pressing
and
fast enough. The player holds onto the hammer until a life is lost or if the player is trapped and has to restart the phase. It can be taken into theBonus Stages.
Super Smash Bros. series[edit]

The Golden Hammer is an item in theSuper Smash Bros. series, in which it first appears inSuper Smash Bros. Brawl. It stands on a pedestal, and when picked up, the player starts swinging the hammer up and down, similarly to the regularHammer item. The Golden Hammer is swung faster than a normal Hammer, each hit does 30% damage, and it launches characters at a more horizontal angle than a regular Hammer. In addition, repeatedly tapping the attack button will allow the player to float in mid-air while holding this item, like with the Golden Hammer inWrecking Crew and unlike the normal Hammer. Although the head does not fly off like the regular Hammer, it can instead become aSqueaky Hammer[1]. The Squeaky Hammer will only squeak if it hits someone instead of doing damage. However, it can still allow the player to float in midair.
The Golden Hammer can also be used to open most challenge windows in Challenges. InBrawl and3DS /Wii U, they can be earned by completing challenges that have windows containing Golden Hammers; inUltimate, they can be earned by completing a certain number of challenges. There are five Golden Hammers inSuper Smash Bros. Brawl andSuper Smash Bros. for Wii U, three per panel inSuper Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS, and nine inSuper Smash Bros. Ultimate. Golden Hammers cannot break windows that pertain to specific challenges in the NTSC versions ofSuper Smash Bros. Brawl and all versions ofSuper Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS /Wii U andSuper Smash Bros. Ultimate.

| 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. | ||

| This special hammer is several times stronger than the regular hammer. While wielding it, jumping repeatedly will let you float in the air. It doesn't appear often, so grab it when it does! However, watch out for the squeaky version. It looks like the normal one but is really useless.(American English) | ||
| This special hammer is much stronger than the normal one. And on top of that, it has a special ability - press the jump button repeatedly while holding it to float in the air. These things don't show up often, though, so if you see one, grab it fast! Just watch out for the Golden Squeaky Hammers–they look the same, but do exactly zero damage.(British English) | ||
