Super Smash Bros. Brawl Music identification.

What game is the "golden hammer" play from?

by on (#32134)
Second song in Wrecking Crew. Check an NSF player near you.
It also says so inside the game itself when you look around in the sound test mode, assuming you've unlocked that song (for the Mario Bros stage).

That's the only thing I don't have in the game sadly. And some of the songs should not have been remixed.

Was this music actually "played" in the game? I don't remember hearing it.

It's the golden hammer in both games, Wrecking Crew and Super Smash Bros. Brawl.

Okay, I found a vid showing it in Wrecking Crew. Seriously, I didn't remember it being in the game.

I encountered it with Nesterj on my PSP by exploding a bomb on stage 6 (I think it was 6 5 or 7.)

What does the golden hammer actually do in Wrecking Crew?

The hammer in Wrecking Crew.. is tricky. Back when the game was first out I played it a LOT determined a couple things:

- You need to explode 3 bombs - the last being the most important and does not change from game to game.
- You need to swing the hammer XX amount of times to explode those 3 bombs. This in my discovery varies from 3 to 10 swings.

The best/easiest example of this I can give is obtaining the hammer in 3 swings on level 6:

Smash the bombs in that order - it doesn't really matter with the first two, but number 3 should be last. You can only take 3 total swings to do this.

If all goes well, you'll get this:

Simply swing on the hammer icon that comes out and you'll have the Golden Hammer. This is a fast swinging hammer will break all walls with one swing (even the darker ones that require 3 hits normally). It can even disable and knock down enemies if timed correctly. The hammer will stay with you until you die and can be used for multiple levels.

Enjoy!
