10 Ridiculously Overpowered Melee Weapons

10. DK Hammer - Smash Bros.

Smash Bros. has always been a series that involves a great deal of skill and knowledge of placement in order to get the upper hand. Whether dashing through enemies to launch them off ledges or using the environment to bounce foes into oblivion, it's a game that is much deeper than simply trying to hammer your opponent into submission.

Unless you get the literal hammer power up, that is.

If you are so lucky as to pick up this tent peg thumper, you'll be gifted a glorious eight seconds of near unstoppable pounding (we've all been there right, lads?) which will see you mulch opponents left, right, and centre. With its chaotic amount of knockback and hefty percentage damage, this Mighty Mallet will result in the echoing screams of your opponents as they sail off the sides of the map again and again. And to make matters worse, the cheery music that accompanies this rampage - lifted straight from the original Donkey Kong - makes it all the more terrifying.
