What challenges should I use my golden hammers on?

[doodmahn]

The real question is: What are the hardest challenges?

 

[Mario & Sonic Guy]

I'd use the Golden Hammer on the tasks below.

Clear 100-Man Brawl with all characters
Clear All-Star on Intense difficulty

However, the Golden Hammer is useless on the tasks below.

Tasks involving the Boss Battles game mode
Clear Classic on Intense difficulty

Actually, you can clear All-Star on Intense using continues and still get the Mewtwo trophy.

I strongly recommend using it on the Cruel Brawl challenges (Beat 5 enemies/ 10 Enemies)

I stupidly used mine on the ones that involved beating Target Smash at High Speeds that aren't even that high.

 

[renshai117]

I recommend using them on challenged that do not require any skill and do not reward you. The only such challenges are the "break the targets level _ with all characters." I used all my hammers on those because they are stupid wastes of time. At least classic with all characters gives you a trophy each time, same with all star, you get nothing for break the targets, its just a not-fun zero-reward grind that by completing it proves nothing about your skill. I personally have completed all the other challenges except for stickers, of which I need two more, and I also only need 2 more trophies.

P.S., using it for the time trials is not recommended, that requires some skill, isn't that hard, doesn't take long, and is actually kind of fun. You can beat all the time trials in the time it would take to grind through break the targets level 1 with all characters.

Cruel brawl is rediculously easy, just use jiggly-puff and float back and forth under the level while lureing out the enemies, you will have it beat in 2 or three minutes. Here is a vid

You must be joking. NEVER use any Golden Hammers on the Target Smash tasks. They're a cake walk once you know where the targets are.

I didn't say they were hard, I said they were boring. I already finished every challenge and had fun with all of them except those. ( I still need two more stickers, which admitedly, it is no longer fun to sticker farm ) But like I said, to do break the targets requires about zero skill (as you said, it's a cake walk) and provides zero fun and zero reward. All of the other challenges were either fun or big milestones or learning opportunities. So like I said earlier, save yourself some time grinding (grinding is sitting in front of a game going through a repetitive task that generally isn't any fun btw) and go do something more fun. I reiterate, the timed tasks are a fun challenge, the "use every character" tasks are just stupid and long and you get no tangible reward for them that you wouldn't get using the hammer. Really, I can't think of a better task to use them on because you would be cheating yourself out of fun.

Don't know about anyone else but I'm kind of tempted to use a hammer on the last challenge I have left which is collecting all the stickers I already completed all the other challenges without using the hammers. Just because I'm tired of spectating when wifi actually works and tired of the factories.

Well, this is a personal decision really, how many stickers do you have and how long have you been working on it? How much do you actually care about getting the seven-hundred stickers as opposed to the single trophy. Also, there is the small matter of whether a hammer will even work on that challenge, I don't believe that it does though i didn't try myself. My goal is equally the sticker trophy behind the glass and the seven hundred stickers themselves, so gold-hammering it wouldn't cut it for me. If you don't have any fun going after the stickers and the hammer works, then your only option is to break the glass. Video-games exist to be fun, right?

 

[Chamiso]

For awhile now alternating between the main methods of spectating for coins/stickers, sticker factory and intense sse. I only have around 15 more stickers to go and about 5 trophies I probably won't hammer it at all it's just the only one that is tempting me since it is the last challenge that I have left lol. Most of the others I saw no point in using the hammer just because the process of getting one of them also sent you on the path if not completing another challenge at the same time.

 

[GoldA]

I would recommend not using the hammer at all,
the way I see it, I'll complete all the challenges eventually.
Plus, there's nothing better then the satisfaction that you were able to complete every last challenge and still have all the gold hammers unused.

 

[doodmahn]

I've beaten Classic Mode and All-Star on Intense, btw. :D Man, those "Team <insert character here>" matches are hard.

EDIT: God, that's a strict word filter. Can't even say the "D- word". This feels like second grade all over again.

EDIT 2: Oh, also Cruel Brawl. Lucas's ^B recovery ftw. Got 15 kills.

 

[RedMage8BT]

I used them on
15 minute Brawl
Get all Final Smash Trophies
100-man Brawl with every character
(I don't remember, but it was another multi-man thing)
I plan to use the last one on "beat All-Star with every character", because I have nothing else to use it on

You only have 5-6 hammers, so do everything you can do in the "Serious challenges" section. If you REALLY can't complete them, then use an hammer. If you have completed everything in "Serious challenges" and still have some hammers left, now you can choose whatever you want to use them on in the "Time consuming" section

 

[Firus]

I'd use them on:

• 100 Man Brawl with every character
• All-Star with every character
• Get all Final Smash Trophies

...and the other two of your choosing. That's what I'd use them on if I weren't trying to beat them without using a hammer.

 

[kirbario7]

i personally used 2 on the play 50-100 hours of brawl and thats because of how you had to unlock mewtwo on the last i didn't want to do that again!

 

[XalchemistX]

use the golden hammer on the 15min multi-man brawl

 

[Fox P McCloud]

I haven't used any hammers yet, and there's only 9 challenges left....pretty much all the ones left are "only a matter of time" trophies; ie: play Brawl mode a lot (I figure if I play it long enough, I'll get all the stickers and songs)...the only one that's been a repeated challenge for me is "Clear Boss Battles on Intense"...I've been tempted to use 1 Golden Hammer on that challenge and that challenge only, but I absolutely refuse to...I've gotten to Tabuu 4 times on Intense mode, and I've withered him down to 3/4 of his health...I just need to calm down and learn to take his wings-of-death in stride (once I am able to do that, I think I can beat him).

 

[meresilence0]

I personally don't care about much of the prizes except for CDs. I am a music freak, so that's pretty self explanatory. And some of them I guess I need to wait before I attempt, on the account of I totally suck.

 

[RoyalBlood]

Beat Boss Battle Mode with all characters

 

[Just A Gamer]

I'd use (if i hadn't wasted some of them >.<)

A. Cruel Brawl: 10 kos (I'd wasted hammers, so I had to do this one, dont reccomend)
B. 100-man with all characters. (nope, not going anywhere near this one)
C. 15 man minute if you dont enjoy running from a pair of alloys for 15 minutes
D. 100 hours...its not good for your wii to be left on overnight.
E. Whatever (*Wishes he could use this on his stickers, he's still stuck at 693)

 

[AbsoluteZero255]

Clear target smash level __ in under ___ seconds

 

[Izak29]

OMG...use one on beating 100-man melee w/everyone challenge. So many times have i gotten to the final 10- and died...

 

[Rapid_Assassin]

My little sister used the hammers on completely random challenges on me... Oh well.

A lot of the 1p mode things are more time consuming than they are hard. Beating All star, classic, boss battles with every character is pretty time consuming. But I've basically done it like this: do one random 1p mode thing a day. Eventually you'll beat them all.

 

[TehBo49]

You shouldn't use any golden hammers if you really want to beat the game. But if you must, use it on Clear 100 Brawl with All Characters. By the way, to those of you saying to use it on Boss Battles stuff, you can't use hammers on them.

 

[Ixnay]

Basically, I used the hammers on challenges that I figured that I wouldn't get eventually, like the 100-man melee challenges. If you think that you can get one of them even if it would take awhile (i.e. 50 hours of brawl, all star with every char), you definitely shouldn't waste a hammer on it.

 

[Uncle_Donkey]

I used my hammers on:
Beat Target Smash Level 4 with all characters
Beat Target Smash Level 5 with all characters
Collect all stickers
Beat 100-Man Brawl with all characters
Get 2000 KOs in Brawls

All I have left to do otherwise are Beat Boss Battles with 10 characters, 20 characters, and on Intense

 

[SirKibble]

Personally, I don't like to use the hammers, I like to think every challenge is do-able and reasonably so, at least by someone with a little dedication. However, my brother did use one of our hammers on the 10 KOs in Cruel Brawl challenge, and I find this acceptable. I plan to do the 100-Man Brawl with all characters eventually, and I've come within 19 seconds of the 15-Minute Brawl (cursed Smart Bombs...). After that, I just have to actually take the time to do Classic, All-Star, and Boss Battles with everyone, but it won't be hard.

 

[91780]

just use them on the ones that are hard for you............ i think
