The Piko Piko Hammer (ピコピコハンマー Piko Piko Hanmā?) is an object that appears in the Sonic X anime series and its comic series published by Archie Comics. It was a large hammer, and the personal melee weapon of Amy Rose.
Description[]
Appearance[]
The Piko Piko Hammer resembled a double-faced sledgehammer or mallet. It had a larger, cylinder-shaped red head with raised rectangular sections on the middle and thick yellow face disks. The handle was brown at the bottom, golden like the hammer itself on the middle, and was seemingly made of metal where it met the head.
Features and traits[]
The Piko Piko Hammer was a powerful weapon, capable of crushing robots and metal alike with seemingly little effort,[1] though it could not match the strength of persons like Sonic and Knuckles. Amy could also use her hammer to create yellow shockwaves by striking the ground with it.[2] It could change its size as well, ranging from having heads light enough for the pink hedgehog to wield with one hand, to heads that were so massive that she needed to use both arms to swing them.
When not using it, Amy kept the Piko Piko Hammer in an unknown hiding spot, but she was able to inexplicably pull it out of thin air at will. In addition, she possessed a seemingly endless supply of Piko Piko Hammers, seeing that she was able to conjure up another one of them out of nowhere by just by waving her hand after throwing the first one into the Grand Egg Imperial.[3]
It was suggested that Amy had some sort of connection to her Piko Piko Hammers; when the hedgehog was trapped in a virtual reality by Dr. Eggman, she said that she could not "feel" her hammer while she was within the illusion.[4]
Trivia[]
- The Piko Piko Hammer is based on the object of the same name from the Sonic the Hedgehog series. Its design in specific is taken from Sonic Adventure.
