'''Squeaky Hammer Machines'''{{title}} are enemies appearing in ''[[Kirby 64: The Crystal Shards]]''. Hence their name, a hammer comes out of the top of their head, allowing them to smash the conveyor belt that [[Kirby]] is walking on. The Factory of [[Shiver Star]] is the only area to feature them. [[Kirby]] cannot destroy them, partially because the robots are in the background. Their hammers can cause an instant death. Squeaky Hammer Machines return in ''[[Kirby: Triple Deluxe]]'' (more specifically in the Factory Tour stage of the [[Kirby Fighters]] sub-game), now with bevel gear in their mouth. The robots now alert the fighters as to when they will attack by belching steam from their mouth.
