Squeaky Mallet
Template:Powershot Squeaky Mallet is Luigi's Offensive Power Shot in Mario Power Tennis and Mario Tennis: Power Tour. Luigi pulls out a huge Hammer similar to Mario's Iron Hammer and hit the ball with great force, leaving a path of small green, yellow and pink stars. This will knock the opponent back about a quarter of the court and cause the opponent to lose whatever Power Shot they may have stored. The opposing player will also have reversed controls for about one second after returning a Squeaky Mallet shot unless he or she used a Defensive Power Shot. Luigi will not suffer knockback from an opponent's Offensive Power Shot if he uses Squeaky Mallet, even against Iron Hammer, Fire Breath, and Barrel Cannon Blast.
Although not as fast and powerful as Mario's Offensive Power Shot, it has better recovery time and is a bit more curved. The stun time after contact is also greater. However, on rare occasions, the ball could go out of bounds by this power shot, which would hinder Luigi more than help him.
The Hammer that Luigi wields may be a Mini-Mega Hammer from Mario Party 4 with a star painted in the center instead of a Mushroom. The green and pink stars may also represent the Super Mega Mushrooms and Super Mini Mushrooms.
Trivia
- It is even more possible that Luigi's Hammer is a popular Japanese toy often called the "squeaky hammer" (or just "toy hammer") in the United States. The squeaky hammer is rather famous for often being an anime gag where it is pulled out of nowhere and crushes someone.
