| “ | Smash the ground with thisGIANT-SIZEDhammer! Wiggle +Control Pad to charge it up and reach3 power levels.FlattenHUGEstakes too! | ” | — Grand Hammer flavor text fromKirby's Return to Dream Land Deluxe |
Grand Hammer is aSuper Ability that is currently exclusively available inKirby's Return to Dream Land andits remake. It is an extremely powerful variation ofHammer Kirby, and is obtained by defeating themid-bossSuper Bonkers.
Grand Hammer Kirby's appearance changes with a large blue and red rope ribbon around his head, as well as a hammer.
Moveset[edit]
When Grand Hammer is executed, the hammer enlarges slightly, and if the player shakes the controller (or repeatedly mashes directions inDeluxe), the hammer becomes larger and more powerful in up to two additional stages.
- The first stage of the Grand Hammer appears as a slightly larger version of the hammer that is carried.
- The second stage, named Hammer Plus, becomes a florally designed purple hammer with many differently-colored stars painted on it.
- The final and most powerful stage, named Super Hammer Plus, is an extremely large golden hammer with jewels on the rims, as well as large star emblems that point out.
Each size of hammer swing, though more powerful than the last, is also slower than the last. Once the hammer is used, it emits a large shock wave that defeats any enemies in its path; this shockwave gets larger the more the hammer was charged up before use.
The Grand Hammer is primarily used to hammer down giantstakes and stumps that usually result in shifting the ground, but it may also be used to activate springs that will launch Kirby up, and defeat certain enemies like theStrike Box.

Trivia[edit]
- Magolor can also obtain the power of Grand Hammer from theMaster Crown. He uses it as one of his Super Ability attacks during the battle withMagolor Soul in Extra Mode andThe True Arena only. Unlike Kirby, Magolor Soul will add an ice element to his Grand Hammer (possibly due to the absence ofSnow Bowl in his Super Ability arsenal), freezing the ground and dropping large icicles from the sky when slamming down.
