{{quote|Hammer Throw lets you, you know, throw your hammer when you hit an Action Command. It bypasses Defense, and you can hit an enemy no matter where they are in the battle. If you're having trouble with a flier or whatever, give 'em the ol' Hammer Throw!|Battle Master|Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door (Nintendo Switch)}}

'''Hammer Throw''' is a [[badge]] in ''[[Paper Mario]]'' and ''[[Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door]]''. If Mario equips the badge, he gains access to the Hammer Throw move, a [[hammer]] attack that requires two [[Flower Point|FP]] to use. On use, Mario throws a hammer at the targeted opponent, dealing the same damage as a regular hammer attack. Unlike the regular Hammer attack, Hammer Throw is able to target any enemy on the stage regardless of their location and without going close to them, while most other hammer attacks can only attack the frontmost enemy on the ground while standing right next to them.

In ''Paper Mario'', [[Monty Mole (Flower Fields)|green Monty Moles]] take an extra 3 damage from a Hammer Throw attack.<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hsT2YvHIFb4 'Basic Battle Mechanics are Broken' by Stryder7x]</ref> In the [[Nintendo Switch]] version of ''[[Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door (Nintendo Switch)|Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door]]'', Hammer Throw now pierces defense and instead does a baseline of 2 damage regardless of which hammer Mario is using.

In ''Paper Mario'', it is on a roof in [[Goomba Road]], accessible if [[Mario]] knocks a [[spring]] out of a tree with his [[hammer]]. In ''Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door'', it is found inside a [[? Block]] halfway through [[Twilight Trail]], can be bought at the [[Pianta Parlor]] for fifty [[pianta token]]s with the [[Golden Card|Gold Card]], and can be rarely dropped after a battle by [[Hammer Bro]]s., [[Swoop]]ers, [[Swoopula]]s, and [[Swampire]]s.
