Ultra Hammer is a move used byMario inPaper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door and itsNintendo Switch remake. It acts as a stronger variant of theSuper Hammer move, and is unlocked when Mario obtains theUltra Hammer. It fully replaces Super Hammer in the overworld once it is learned, though Super Hammer can still be used in battle.

Like Super Hammer, Ultra Hammer causes Mario to twist himself up before swinging hisHammer while spinning. In the overworld, it is performed by holding down, rotating the a number of times, and then releasing. In addition to Super Hammer's effects, Ultra Hammer can be used to destroyBig Stone Blocks. Hitting an enemy with it in the overworld allows Mario to use Ultra Hammer as aFirst Strike without consuming anyFlower Points.

In battle, Ultra Hammer costs 4 FP. ItsAction Command closely resembles that used for normal Hammer attacks and Super Hammer, but nine lights light up before the star, requiring to be held for slightly longer than Super Hammer. It has mostly the same effects as Super Hammer, dealing 6 base damage to the targeted enemy and smacking it backward, but enemies behind the target that the target is smacked into take 3 piercing damage instead of 1, which isn't affected by Mario's attack modifiers. Like Super Hammer, Ultra Hammer can knock body segments off ofPokeys andPoison Pokeys, and if one of these enemies is the target of the attack, a segment is smacked back in place of the entire enemy, dealing damage equal to the damage of the respective Pokey's body segment-throwing attack.
