The Hammer Attack (ハンマー攻撃 Hanmā Kōgeki?) is Amy Rose's signature attack. It first appeared in Sonic Adventure and has since then become Amy's primary offensive maneuver in the whole Sonic the Hedgehog series. It is a technique where the user attacks with the Piko Piko Hammer. It serves as the basis for many of her other moves like the Spin Attack does for many other characters.

Description[]

Unlike most other characters in the Sonic the Hedgehog series, Amy often lacks the ability to perform the Spin Attack and its variations. To compensate for this, Amy instead uses her skills with her personal weapon, the Piko Piko Hammer, to attack her enemies. In the Sonic series, the basic Hammer Attack is where Amy conjures her Piko Piko Hammer and whacks in front of her which damages enemies that come into contact with the hammer. The move sometimes leaves a trail of pink hearts. This is usually done in gameplay by tapping the Action button.

In Sonic Advance 3, if any of the lead characters (Sonic, Knuckles, Tails or Cream) have Amy as his/her partner, they can also perform the Hammer Attack with their own version of the Piko Piko Hammer.
