Ability in the field[]
Press and hold the B button. Rotate the control stick to make Mario twist, then release the B button to spin the hammer. The new ability can break big blocks. Depending on how much the control stick is twisted, Mario will spin faster and complete between three and five spins. This, however, has no effect on the actual field performance.

In addition, to the increased power, a new attack named the "Super Hammer" is granted that is based on its field ability. For 2 FP, the hammer is spun at the front enemy and if timed correctly, this forefront enemy will be knocked back past all ground-level enemies behind it, damaging them in the process for more damage than the regular attack.
