* In ''[[Dark Souls]]''
* In the ''[[Total War]]'' series, Venetian Heavy Infantry wear plate armor, use warhammers, and carry shields. Just to be realistic, they have quite a bonus against highly-armored enemies.
* [[Super Mario (franchise)|''Super Mario'' franchise]]:
*
** The Hammer Brothers are recurring enemies and high-ranking Koopa Troop members that made their debut in [[Super Mario Bros. (video game)|''Super Mario Bros.'']], where they fling hammers at Mario, and very often appear in pairs.
*** In
** In ''Wrecking Crew'', Mario's (and Luigi's) ordinary hammer was good against walls but not enemies, but the secret Golden Hammer could stun enemies and demolish any wall in a single hit.
* ''[[Mortal Kombat]]'' franchise:
▲** In the original ''[[Super Mario Bros. (video game)|Super Mario Bros]]'' game, [[Big Bad|Bowser]] (and to a much lesser extent, his last two fakes) for some reason had the ability to throw hammers at Mario/Luigi as well as [[Breath Weapon|breathing fire.]]
** Shao Kahn
** Although Raiden usually used a staff for a weapon, in MK4 he used a hammer, then left it on top of a tower the size of the Empire State Building, where anyone who wants to can use it.
** Noob Saibot uses a [[A Worldwide Punomenon|Troll]] Hammer in ''Armageddon''.
* ''[[Silent Hill 1]]'' features a huge emergency hammer that's the best melee weapon. It resembles a medieval war hammer, and Harry sensibly uses the huge, pointy spiked peen [[For Massive Damage]] instead of the flat side.
* Amy Rose of ''[[Sonic the Hedgehog]]'' has
* The Pow Hammer moves from the ''[[Tales (series)]]''.
** And variants, like [[Game Breaker|Toss Hammer]], which poisons instead of stuns, the Pow Pow Hammer, which drops a ''giant'' hammer from the sky that stuns every enemy in a pretty big radius (or is a bunch of Pow Hammers in [[Tales of Symphonia|Colette]]'s case), and Hammer Rain, which does [[Exactly What It Says on the Tin]]. There's also Anise's Miracle Hammer from ''[[Tales of the Abyss]]''.

** [[Disgaea 4: A Promise Unforgotten]] lets the Eryngya and Gargoyle monsters magichange into hammers, and these hammers will be ''very'' large if a giant monster transforms into one.
* ''[[Legend of Dragoon]]'' gave the frail-looking little dancer girl the big-ass hammer, and she did fall over after swinging it in one of her attack animations.
* A hammer is a recurring weapon in the [[The Legend of Zelda (Franchise)|''Zelda'' games]]:
** The Magic Hammer in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past
** The Megaton Hammer in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time
** The Skull Hammer in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: The
** A
** There's also the hammer in ''[[Zelda II: The
* In the roguelike game ''[[Angband]]'', [[Church Militant|priests]]
* ''[[Hammerin' Harry]]'' featured a construction worker with a hammer bigger than his head, but there was a power up that made it even bigger than his body.
* ''[[EverQuest]]''
* ''[[Super Smash Bros.]]'' series:
* The ''[[Super Smash Bros.]]'' series have Mario's black hammer from ''[[Donkey Kong]]'', and ''Brawl'' added a Golden Hammer from ''[[Wrecking Crew]]'', another Mario game. A character's size has absolutely no effect on whether they can wield the hammers, meaning a Super/Poison Mushroom can result in the user wielding a comically under/oversized hammer.▼
** The ''[[Ice Climbers]]'' both wield mallets to break ice
** Mr. Game and Watch uses them for his downward smash attack and Judgement special. In the case of the former, it actually knocks foes farther if the hammer hits ''near'' them as opposed to hitting them directly, though a direct hit launches foes at a low angle that can be difficult to recover from.

** Hammer Bros. appear as Assist Trophies from ''Brawl'' on.
* King Dedede uses a hammer as his weapon in the ''[[Kirby]]'' games. And Kirby can also get a hammer [[Power-Up]] by inhaling some opponents. They both use them in ''[[Super Smash Bros.]]''.
** One of Kirby's abilities as Yo-yo is called Hammer Drop, although it doesn't have anything to do with a hammer, besides looking like a single-hit [[Metronomic Man-Mashing]].
