The Dunk Hammer inMario & Luigi: Superstar Saga and the remake

Dunk Hammer[1] is aBros. Action that appears inMario & Luigi: Superstar Saga and its3DS remake,Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga + Bowser's Minions. In the former, this move is known asLuigi Dunk.[2] It is taught byCork and Cask inChateau de Chucklehuck along with theMini-Mario technique. Both of them are techniques passed down to Cork and Cask from generations past. WhenMario whacksLuigi from behind with hishammer, Luigi will be buried into the ground, unless the two are above certain surfaces such as metallic plating. Luigi's hat sticks out from the ground. While in this state Luigi can move underground, allowing him to pass under obstacles and jump intobarrels from beneath, though he cannot pass through some surfaces.

If Luigi passes through an obstacle in which Mario cannot follow, like a metal gate, he will be separated from him. Luigi can also be used to findbeans hidden in underground spots marked with an "X", and alsoBean Fruit andBeanstones. Once Luigi has emerged from the ground, he cannot go underground again without Mario's help. If this is used over aSurfing Spot, Luigi will be turned into asurfboard that Mario can use to surf acrossOho Ocean to reachJoke's End later in the game. The in-battle equivalent to this move isChopper Bros., and it is also used in theadvanced version of theThunder Bros.Bros. Attack. If Mario surfaces Luigi under certain enemies and pop out of the ground in the field, the enemy will be launched into the air and fall back downstunned, which allows the bros to either escape orFirst Strike them more easily.

Dunk Hammer from Mario & Luigi: Dream Team
Mole Mario in action

InMario & Luigi: Dream Team, Mario and Luigi switch roles and the move is aBros. Move namedMole Mario. Mole Mario is taught by twoShelltops working forBritta inDozing Sands along withMini-Mario, which is used instead of Mole Mario if the move is attempted above hard surfaces. One of the Shelltops mentions they saw Mole Mario in a movie.

There are some tweaks compared to Dunk Hammer. Mario is fully underground, so his position is indicated by a pointing glove. Mole Mario cannot be used if Luigi is standing in the same space as Mario, or if Mario is standing over a ledge. The hammer swing has to hit Mario; it is possible for a wall or object to block the swing. Mario is not allowed to dig out from below enemies. With Mario underground, Luigi can still jump or use his Hammer, enabling him to use First Strikes with the Hammer. Mole Mario is additionally used to flip over panels in the field by having Mario pop up from below them, while no Bean Fruit, Beanstones, barrels or Surfing Spots appear. The hard surfaces that are used for Mini-Mario additionally serve as boundaries for the underground Mario.

Mole Mario is the focus of theMole Hunt minigame, where it is used to dig up hermit crabs to score points.
