A tilt or smash attack with this brutal weapon will KO opponents who have high damage. |

![]() |
Once you start, you just can't stop swinging this item, even if the hammer's head pops off. Oops! |

![]() |
Hold this out and bathe your foes in flame. The fire doesn't last forever, though, so don't waste it. |

![]() |
A bomb that creates a massive explosion, hurting anyone caught in the blast. Unless it's a dud. Then nothing happens. |
