History Main / HyperSpaceMallet

** In its first appearance in the [[RanmaAbridged abridged series]], Kodachi [[CallingYourAttacks calls out "Hyperspace mallet!"]] as she attacks with it.

* In Literature/TheStormlightArchive by Creator/BrandonSanderson, some of the most powerful weapons in the setting, Shardblades, can be summoned from thin air with an effort of will by their owner, they will appear after ten of the owner's heartbeats.

* The BeachEpisode of ''{{Mai-Otome}}'' shows Mashiro whipping out a squeaky mallet with which to assault Nagi.

* The Devil does this to [[PlutothePup Pluto]] several times during Pluto's trial in Hell in ''PlutosJudgementDay''.

* Some of the FinalFantasy games feature an attack called Magic Hammer, where the hammer literally appears out of nowhere and smacks the target on the head.

[[folder: Comic Books]]
* In ''{{Spiderman}}'' on occasion Carnage will form a mallet from his body and smash his enemies with it.
** Sandman does it with his hands on occasion. Sometimes he even creates spiked mallets.
* The titular character of ''ComicStrip/LeonardLeGenie'' often pulls hammers, anvils and other heavy, blunt objects from his beard to punish his clumsy assistant Basile.
* A modern western example / subversion / ShoutOut can be found in the ''ComicStrip/ScottPilgrim'' books where Ramona Flowers will often pull large weapons out of her [[BiggerOnTheInside subspace handbag]]. Including a hammer (+2 against girls!).
* This is [[TheAwesomeSlapstick Slapstick's]] primary method of attack.

* Lucca from ''VideoGame/ChronoTrigger'' attacks with a hammer if her target is too close for her guns. The hammer always has the same properties as the gun she's equipped with, too.
** Actually, it ''is'' [[PistolWhipping her gun]].
*** Not so sure, in her [[http://www.rpgplanet.com/chrono/images/ct/oaw-lucca.jpg official artworks]], she is depicted as carrying a mallet. Its no surprise at all that she carries one since she is a WrenchWench and hence, the mallet is unlikely to be a hammerspace one.

->''"[[NoOntologicalInertia If I hit you with a hammer which then disappears, you've still been hit with a hammer]]."''
-->-- '''Sam Simeon''', PhilFoglio's ''ComicBook/AngelAndTheApe''

* The sweet pacifist healer White Mage of ''WebComic/EightBitTheater'' carries a giant holy hammer (usually invisible) with which she smacks Black Mage around in response to his lewd pick-up lines. (Or when he kills people. Or when he suggests doing lewd things with dead people. Take your pick.)

For characters that use hammers for purposes other than comedy, see DropTheHammer, for when the Trope is enacted for comic effect but the actual reason the girl is supposed to be angry is missing from the context see UnprovokedPervertPayback.

* If someone knows, please fill in the name here. One short-lived character invoked this trope literally. Whenever he wanted something, he'd call out "Warp: Item X" where X was the item's number (such as 1 for a gun). If it was armor or something else worn, it would usually just appear on his body. Otherwise he'd reach out and his hand would vanish into a glowing portal in midair and when he pulled his hand out, it would be holding the item he'd called for.

* In the ''{{GURPS}}'' anime universe, one of the character abilities is the non-damage-dealing ten-ton hammer that can be pulled out of nowhere. It is ONLY available for female characters.
* In TeenagersFromOuterSpace, the Hyperdimensional Hammer is available to any student who pays a sum of $10.

* [[SonicTheHedgehog Amy Rose's]] signature weapon is a mallet that shows up out of nowhere. There's not a single TV show or video game she shows up in either in which she doesn't have the hammer at all (since VideoGame/SonicAdventure) or in which she keeps the hammer in a logical place. It gets {{lampshaded}} in SonicX.

* In the ''VideoGame/SuperSmashBros'' series, one of Peach's attacks strikes the target with a random blunt object from out of nowhere, such as a golf club.

* ''OnePiece'', in Usopp's fight against Mr. 4 he uses a gigantic hammer. But it turns out that the hammer is actually fake and can collapse for storage.
