TheSuper Hammer, originally known asSpin Smash and also referred to asSpin Hammer, is a move in the first two games of thePaper Mario series. It costs 2FP and allows Mario to smack the front enemy, which receives the same amount of damage as with a regular Hammer attack, into any enemies located behind it, dealing a fixed 1 point of damage to each of them. Certain enemies are immune to being pushed back by Super Hammer, such asB. Bill Blasters (inPaper Mario only) andDark Wizzerds.

History

Paper Mario

InPaper Mario, the move can be used by equipping the Spin Smash Badge, which can be bought fromRowf's Badge Shop for 75coins. TheAction Command for the move is identical to that of a standard Hammer attack. When the move is used against aPokey orPokey Mummy, Mario smacks one of the Pokey’s segments back instead of the entire enemy. It can also be used to knock offShy Stacks one by one, and causecoins to fall fromKent C. Koopa in his flipped state.

Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door

The move reappears inPaper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door, alongside a stronger variation known as theUltra Hammer. It is instead permanently unlocked whenPodler givesMario theSuper Hammer inChapter 3. Its Action Command has been changed, with six dots lighting up before the star, requiring a slightly longer wait before releasing the. In this game, Pokey segments knocked away by Super Hammer deal increased damage to the enemies behind the first equal to the damage dealt by the Pokey’s segment-throwing attack (3 in the case of an ordinary Pokey, or 4 for aPoison Pokey).

The Super Hammer can now also be used on the field, by holding down, rotating the a number of times, and then releasing. When used, Mario twists himself up and then swings his hammer while spinning, which can be used to destroyBig Yellow Blocks. It can also be used to get theFirst Strike on enemies, which allows Mario to use the move without spending FP.
