When a cartoon character needs to inflict some Amusing Injuries on their foes, they can somehow pull a weapon of their choice from nowhere. Comically oversized hammers, anvils, and dynamite are common choices. The weapons (and the injuries they cause) then disappear as easily as they appeared, often as soon as they leave the screen. Of these weapons, hammers are likely the most commonly used, to the point where the mysterious place they come from was named Hammerspace. Sometimes, the character has an explicit ability to access Hammerspace, but the Hyperspace Mallet usually runs on pure Rule of Funny. In addition to using Hammerspace as a gag in its own right, it also lets animator or cartoonist create whatever Slapstick gag they want without worrying about what a character has on hand. It's a Dead Horse Trope in the West, where it originated, but it's well alive in Anime and Manga. There, it commonly appears when a short-tempered schoolgirl enters Pervert Revenge Mode, and she attacks the source of her ire with a giant hammer or a Paper Fan of Doom. Modern Western examples are usually references to Anime or the original Western cartoon shorts. This is a subtrope of Hammerspace where the retrieved object is used for Slapstick. Harsh Word Impact is for when the injuries are just a metaphor for emotional impact. Frequently overlaps with Humongous-Headed Hammer, which is about the size of the weapon's head. |

Ranma ½ uses it on occasion. Fanon makes it far more prominent and always has Akane TendÅ� to be the one to use it; this actually varies depending on continuity. In the anime, Akane only uses a hammer four times: the 3rd and 5th season episodes "RyÅ�ga's Miracle Cure!" and "Into the Darkness" respectively, the OAV "Team Ranma vs. The Legendary Phoenix", and the 1st movie "Big Trouble in Nekonron, China". It's only slightly more prominent in the manga, and just about everyone has used it, from Kodachi (the first person to wield it) to SÅ�un TendÅ� to HappÅ�sai to Ranma Saotome himself. In the manga Akane most frequently uses her fists, samurai weaponry such as shinai and bokken, or usually any blunt object at hand. She doesn't really use a mallet more than anyone else. In the manga, Ranma actually uses one too — on RyÅ�ga, when this one is trying to get rid of a powerful, yet shameful painting on his tummy. |

The classic Looney Tunes shorts are probably the Trope Maker or at least Trope Codifier. It seems to be a fundamental law of physics in the Looney Tunes world that mallets will always and only exist in situations when someone deserves to be hit with one. Mind you, the Looney Tunes can pull anything from behind their backs if it would be amusing at the time. | |

Wakko Warner from Animaniacs used a mallet as needed...of course, definitions of "as needed" are flexible on that show. The sizes of mallets he uses are also quite flexible, ranging from the semi-sensible, to the ridiculously-large. In one short, the Warners are filling in for Plotz's sick secretary and Wakko has trouble with the photocopier. His solution is to smash the offending machine with a mallet that's about half the size of the room. |

Kodocha parodies the mallet cliché by having its characters use squeaky plastic mallets with collapsible heads. From Hayama asking Sana to take out her hammer (and then stealing it and hitting her with it) to Hayama showing off his martial arts skills by dodging it (prompting Sana to pull out another one and smack him with it with an obligatory "Too slow!"). | |

In the second issue of Ninja High School, ninja heiress Ichikun Ichinohei whips a big hammer out of nowhere when she gets angry at the sight of her rival Asrial flirting with Jeremy Feeple. Unusually, despite being so heavily inspired by mangas like Urusei Yatsura and Ranma ½, Ichikun uses it to hit Asrial for flirting, instead of hitting Jeremy for being flirted with. | |

Sunako in The Wallflower has the ability to materialise a Grim Reaper's scythe in times of... fragile sanity. It isn't metaphorical either — she occasionally uses it as a tool and other characters react somewhat understandably when the already scary Sunako is suddenly holding a scythe that's taller than she is.◊ This is apparently a genetic trait, as Sunako's father also materialises a wooden sword in a lightning bolt when he is angry. |

In the Kirby anime, much like in the games, King Dedede has a hammer like this. However, it's far more likely to be used for comedy in the anime than the games. Additionally, in one episode of the anime, a group known as the Otakings decide to create a Show Within a Show about Fumu (aka Tiff). The show in question is intensely Fanservice-laden, creeping everyone out. True to this trope, Fumu is so uncomfortable with the show (as well as the fact that they followed her around and recorded her actual voice in order to take phrases out of context and use them for the show) that she pulls a large hammer out of nowhere and chases the Otakings with it. |

Bludgeoning Angel Dokuro-chan uses this as one of its central gags; the whole focal point of the anime is the title character producing a giant spiky club from nowhere and brutally killing the protagonist, only to revive him seconds later.

Reborn! (2004) apparently uses this several times: Reborn's shape-shifting chameleon turns into a mallet which he hits people with (most notably Tsuna and Lambo) when they don't answer his questions correctly, or when he's technically annoyed with them. He's also done that to the Arcobaleno Skull, too, when in the filler arc, Skull screwed up his Trial, and Reborn ticked off about that Don't forget that Colonello added his fists into this, and the Skull asks for Lal's mercy, and she just simply gives the cold shoulder. |

In El Goonish Shive not only do the currently female characters pull hammers out of nowhere, but Dr. Germahn, at one point, gives a lengthy, Techno Babble-laden explanation of the spatial anomalies that make this possible (in particular, only female characters can do it, and only in comedic scenes). Susan is particularly adept at using the hammers, having demonstrated (offscreen, admittedly) the ability to juggle 3 Hyperspace Mallets and a food-tray at the same time. In one twist of the trope, Susan once hammered the local Jerk Jock not because he did something to her, but because he pushed aside Tedd. Elliot and Sarah are left wondering why she was able to do so. "He's just that androgynous." In a later more serious turn Susan told she was taught how to use the hammers in more dangerous circumstances (though non-lethal, it's still a magical weapon). And later was rather surprised to discover their original purpose. During that revelation it was revealed Hyperspace Mallets would henceforth no longer be accessible but Susan could still access special versions of them using her own magical abilities. |

Amy Rose in Sonic X has the ability to pull her Piko Piko Hammer out of nowhere. She has this ability in most depictions; however, this is the depiction which most frequently shows her using her hammer for comedic purposes instead of just using it in fights against her actual enemies. She can even use multiple hammers if one gets destroyed, and use them while in her spaceship in the third season. You can even watch the hammers materialize out of thin air on some occasions. It gets lampshaded. | |

In Pearls Before Swine, Rat once had a "Mallet o' Understanding" which he'd whip out to use on other characters who displeased him. | |

Kaori in City Hunter; She pulls an over 100t iron hammer out of nowhere to beat Ryo up. In one of the anime episodes, Kaori is shown to have purchased a new hammer at a boutique before the action of the episode started. | |

Second Wind: In Chapter 10, Usopp, Johnny, Yosaku, and Nojiko all use these to hit Zoro when he makes his intention to fight the fishmen clear. Zoro is not amused, especially when he remembers how he was captured last time; the Death Glare and Slasher Smile he gives them in response are terrifying. | |

When Alvin and the Chipmunks appeared on the The Ed Sullivan Show in 1958, it was in puppet form. While Ed and Dave (Played by Ross Bagdasarian Sr.) talked, Alvin whipped out a hammer to bonk Ed with. Luckily for Ed, Dave saw it and stopped the Chipmunk with his typical, "ALVIN!" | |

Ah... and Mm... Are All She Says: When Oshigiri gropes her boobs from behind at Comiket, Toda whacks her on the head with a giant mallet saying "100 T" (presumably tons). Tanaka lampshades this, saying it and the resulting Cranial Eruption are a little dated. | |

GURPS Mecha, which covers quite a bit of anime material (because that's where a lot of mecha appear), has rules for this trope, which it refers to as "Shojo Mallet". The ability to produce such a mallet is only available to female characters. | |

Misty used such a mallet in a few occasions in Pokémon: The Original Series, especially on Brock. She seems to be particularly talented, as she once even produced a gong to wake Ash and Pikachu up. | |

Kaname from Full Metal Panic! often uses a hyperspace Paper Fan of Doom to punish Sousuke. (Actually, she can be seen sometimes in Full Metal Panic? Fumoffu actually carrying said Paper Fan of Doom in her school portfolio.) | |
