—Huey,Paper Mario: Color Splash

Hammer Scraps are collectible items found inPaper Mario: Color Splash. They serve the role ofExperience Points (or EXP) for increasing the capacity of Mario'spaint reserves, being depicted as cardboard pieces shaped like hammers. Similar toPoints inSuper Paper Mario, each subsequentMAX Paint Up requires more Hammer Scraps than the last. Unlike Points andStar Points however, they are not earned automatically, as Hammer Scraps are dropped physically after battles.

Values[edit]

There are four types of Hammer Scraps, each with increasing embellishments and Experience Points rewarded. The amount of experience dropped from a battle will be compacted into the most valuable forms of Hammer Scraps when possible. For example, six EXP would result in a one basic and one second-level Hammer Scrap being dropped.

	5	A thicker and more colorful hammer which rewards more EXP
	10	An even thicker hammer with a flashy texture on the sides and a lot of EXP
	20	A hammer with a flashy texture on the whole head, yielding the most EXP

Notes[edit]

• Certain enemies with post-battles cutscenes, particularly theKoopalings andBlack Bowser, have defined Hammer Scrap amounts to drop despite none dropping after combat. Since Hammer Scraps have to be physically collected post-battle unlikeStar Points, it is possible Hammer Scraps were originally rewarded automatically during development, leading to this discrepancy.
