The dancer is a man with short red hair. He wears a red and blue suit and red glasses, which is similar the one that MC Hammer wore in his music video for the song. He has red hair and a red bracelet on his wrist.
Remake

Background
The routine takes place in what seems to be a brick alley. On the wall, there is white-colored graffiti that is just scribbles on a wall. OnJust Dance Wii, the graffiti has been changed to purple and red lights have been added to the floor. On the XBOX versions ofJust Dance 3 and Just Dance: Greatest Hits/Best Of, the graffiti has been changed so that it now says 'JUST DANCE'. There are also lights and spinning records that appear throughout the song. In the Wii versions of Just Dance 3 and Greatest Hits, as well as in Just Dance Now, the background is simplified and the graffiti is just random drawings (more similar to the original version).
Gold Moves
There are 3 Gold Moves for this song from Just Dance Wii onward, all of which are the same. All Gold Moves: Make a stop sign with your right hand in front of you and your left hand by your hips during the line "Stop! Hammer time". The third Gold Move is the final move for the routine.

Trivia
The song in its entirety clocks in at a total of four minutes and seventeen seconds. It has been shortened for the game.
It is cut off right after when "Stop! Hammer time" is sung a third time.
In Just Dance 2014 and Just Dance 2015 mash-ups and party master modes, as well as in the remake, the pictograms are blue with red arrows instead of red with pink arrows.
Along with Hot Stuffand TiK ToK, this song was temporarily removed from Just Dance Now on March 26, 2015. However, they returned later that day.
In the Just Dance Now menu, the song was mistakenly placed between Can't Take My Eyes Off You and Cercavo Amore, probably because its code name in the files is CantTouchThis. This was later fixed.
Since v1.3.4 of Just Dance Now, some cheering sounds can be heard both at the start and the end of the song.
Starting with the Wii version of Just Dance 3, this song is covered by Groove Century instead.
A caption for this song is called "Hammer Time", in a reference to the lyrics.
In the remake, the line "What's it going to take in the 90s to burn the charts?" is misinterpreted in the lyrics as "What is it going to take and now it's gonna burn the charts", and "wipe" in the line "Singers are sweating, so pass them a wipe" is misinterpreted in the lyrics as "mic".
