The '''Piko Piko Hammer''' (ピコピコハンマー, ''PikoPiko Hanmā'') is [[Amy Rose]]'s signature weapon. She uses it to crush her enemies and its power is capable of making tornadoes and huge shockwaves.

==General==
[[image:Piko Piko Hammer 2023-02-23.jpg|thumb|190px|Classic Amy holding the Piko Piko Hammer, drawn by [[Yui Karasuno]].]]

First appearing with the pink hedgehog in ''[[Sonic the Fighters]]'' as the "''Magical Hammer''", Amy's mallet is a destructive force that fills even [[Sonic]] with dread (''[[Sonic X]]'', ''[[Sonic Riders]]''). How Amy manages to carry the massive thing around and whip it out at a moment's notice is a mystery, occasionally played with for comic effect (''[[Sonic X]]'', Amy's ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl|Brawl]]'' profile).

While Amy is capable of pulling off the [[spin attack]] in some games, usually she relies on her hammer as a means of subduing enemies. It can also be used to catapult her further off [[spring]]s in ''[[Sonic Advance]]''. In both ''[[Sonic Heroes]]'' and ''[[Sonic Battle]]'' Amy can use the weapon to generate a cyclone with the moves [[Tornado Hammer]] and [[Pink Typhoon]].

In ''[[Sonic & Sega All-Stars Racing]]'', Amy's All-Star move gives her a gigantic Piko hammer which she can use on the other racers.

==Other Hammers==

The [[Long Hammer]] is an upgraded version of the Piko Piko Hammer in ''[[Sonic Adventure]]'', available for Amy to acquire for beating her high score in the Whack-a-mole game within the [[Egg Carrier (Sonic Adventure)|Egg Carrier]] [[Adventure Field]].

Although the Piko Piko Hammer is best known as Amy's signature weapon, various other characters have used hammers as well. [[Miles "Tails" Prower|Tails]] uses a hammer in ''[[Tails Adventure]]''. Also, in ''[[Sonic Advance 3]]'', when selecting Amy as either leader or sidekick, her partner will also have a Piko Piko Hammer.
