This page lists all the weapons found in the games. Some are required to progress in the story, like the Hammer which is needed to detonate the explosives in the Blast the Rock! event, while others aren't.
By default, all weapons are used by pressing the button and can be charged by pressing the same button. The weaker weapons that are able to stun enemies can defeat them while charged up.
