Profile[]
Behavior[]
Amazing Flyin' Hammer Brothers hover around on two-block versions of Flying Platforms that continuously swing back and forth. Amazing Flyin' Hammer Brothers repeatedly attack by throwing hammers left and right from their swooping platforms.
In Super Mario series[]
Super Mario World[]
Amazing Flyin' Hammer Brothers are first encountered in Donut Plains 4. Mario or Luigi can defeat an Amazing Flyin' Hammer Brother through various means, most commonly by hitting its Flying Platform from below. Alternatively, an Amazing Flyin' Hammer Brother can be defeated with a stomp or fireball. Even when an Amazing Flyin' Hammer Brother is defeated, the platform remains onscreen and continues on its original flight path, often allowing Mario or Luigi to travel across wide pits, but if the Flying Platform's Amazing Flyin' Hammer Brother is somehow defeated before the platform itself starts to move, the Flying Platform instead stays in place. Defeating an Amazing Flyin' Hammer Brother rewards the player 200 points.
In the ending credits, during the enemy cast roll, the Amazing Flyin' Hammer Brother's platform resembles gray Empty Blocks instead of gray Rotating Blocks.
