| ハンマーたたき Hammer Strike Hammer | B/Y | Kirby slams a hammer in front of him. | 25 8 (stamp wave) |
| ワイルドスタンプ Wild Stamp | B/Y + B/Y after Hammer | Kirby bashes the ground with his other hammer, and then bashes a third time with both hammers. The third hit produces 2 homing fire tornado projectiles which travel through enemies. | 25 (Hammer hit) 8 (stamp wave) 51 (Wild Stamp hit) 12 (shockwave) 25 per hit (tornadoes) |

| ワイルドトルネイド Wild Tornado | Hold B/Y, then release or B/Y afterdodging an attack | Kirby charges up and spins around with his hammers, creating a twister and hitting multiple times for high damage. If charged more, it creates an orange twister effect, and deals more damage. If charged to the max, it creates a fire twister which has more range, and deals enormous fire damage. When reaching this charge level, the hammer heads will catch fire, dealing minor fire damage to enemies that touch them. Like inKirby Star Allies, if the Hammer is charged for too long, the hammers will burn out and Kirby will be left holding the handles which only deal minor damage. Unlike the Hammer Flip present in the other variations of the Hammer ability, this attack deals continuous damage over time. | 51 per hit (uncharged) 102 per hit (mid-charged) 8 (Lv. 3 charge hits) 204 per hit (fully charged) 12 per hit (fire/overcharged) |
Unlike the other evolutions of the Hammer ability, Masked Hammer's Wild Tornado is a wind elemental attack (plus fire at level 3 charge), which can solve wind-related puzzles.
