Hammer Bros (also known as Hammer Brothers[1][2] and sometimes formatted with a full stop in older material) are recurring enemies in the Mario franchise. They first appear in Super Mario Bros.
Profile[]
Physical description[]
Hammer Bros' modern appearance
Hammer Bros are yellow Koopas with green shells, cream-colored belly plates and green shoes (although they sometimes are barefoot), as well as green and white helmets (though the colors change depending on the variant). They look like Koopa Troopas, but have a taller stature, smaller blue eyes and a lighter-colored muzzle. Hammer Bros are notably always armed with black or gray hammers tied to wooden handles with rope. In Super Mario Bros. 3, Hammer Bros wear black shells and helmets, while their hammers are slightly less detailed. In Super Smash Bros. Brawl, Hammer Bros are given a more realistic appearance than their Super Mario depiction, having a monotone appearance, as well as highly detailed hammers and helmets. In Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS / Wii U and Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, however, Hammer Bros have a vibrant, cartoonish appearance with less detailed hammers and helmets; in the latter, their helmets and shoes have a lighter green color. In the DIC Entertainment Mario cartoons, Hammer Bros have drastically altered appearances, due to appearing with much darker skin tones, smaller body proportions, gray goggles, and shinier hammers.
In the first three Paper Mario games, Hammer Bros are given an altered design, which has them wear blue helmets instead of their standard green ones and have more rotund body proportions resembling those of Koopa Troopas. In Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door, Hammer Bros are given red shoes and spiked armbands, which reappear in Super Paper Mario. From Paper Mario: Sticker Star onward, however, Hammer Bros use their current-era design instead, while appearing with a paper outline.
Powers and abilities[]
Hammer Bros stand upright and throw hammers at the player. They possess superior agility, due to jumping as high as Mario (if not as high as Luigi) and quickly traversing small areas from hopping. Hammer Bros hop very frequently, to the point where they hop while idling. In the way of weaponry, Hammer Bros use black or gray construction hammers, though Super Mario RPG: Legend Of The Seven Stars and the Paper Mario games depict them with wooden mallets instead. In most games, Hammer Bros throw their hammers at lower angles and farther distances, or higher angles at closer distances. The former games have Hammer Bros smack their adversaries with their mallets as a melee attack; exclusively to the Paper Mario series, Hammer Bros. throw a barrage of smaller, weaker hammers, or a hammer with magical abilities like shrinking. Hammer Bros' Skill Shot in Mario Strikers Charged has them attack the opposing team with a giant hammer, to daze them.
Affiliation[]
Hammer Bros have several times been described as elite members of Bowser's Koopa Troop.
Speech[]
In most older Mario games, Hammer Bros are completely silent due to technical limitations. Most of the Super Mario RPGs and spin-offs give Hammer Bros in-game text so others can understand what they are saying; in Super Mario RPG, Hammer Bros appear to speak with Brooklyn accents, often saying "ya" instead of "you." In The Super Mario Bros. Super Show! and The Adventures of Super Mario Bros. 3, both produced by DIC Entertainment, Hammer Bros have intelligible voice acting with Brooklyn accents. Hammer Bros also speak intelligibly in various Super Mario comics, as well as Super Mario-kun. In contemporary Super Mario games, Hammer Bros (and their variants) are portrayed by Motoki Takagi, who provided them with grunts, yells, and even a few lines such as "Let's go." While they generally have a high-pitched voice, they have a deeper voice in Super Mario Galaxy 2.
Concept and creation[]
Hammer Bros. were originally designed by Kazuaki Morita.[3]
Main appearances[]
Super Mario Bros.[]

Two Hammer Bros in World 5-2 of Super Mario Bros.
Hammer Brothers are usually encountered in pairs. They jump between rows of Brick Blocks while throwing hammers to attack. Mario or Luigi can defeat a Hammer Bro by either running into him while invincible, shooting a fireball at him, hitting the Brick Block that the Hammer Bro is standing on, or by stomping the Hammer Bro. Otherwise, Mario or Luigi can avoid a Hammer Bro by simply running past them while they are mid-jump. If Mario or Luigi defeats a Hammer Bro, they earn 1,000 points. If a Hammer Brother is onscreen for a certain amount of time without being defeated, it begins to chase Mario.
Hammer Brothers are first encountered in World 3-1. They later appear in World 5-2, World 7-1, World 8-3, and World 8-4. A Hammer Brother serves as the Bowser Impostor at the end of World 7's castle. Like the other impostors, its true identity is only revealed if it is defeated by fireballs.
In the Super Mario All-Stars version, Hammer Bros throw hammers that are slightly slower and fly on a larger curve than before, meaning that Mario or Luigi is less likely to be hit by them.
Super Mario Bros.: The Lost Levels[]

Hammer Brothers return in Super Mario Bros.: The Lost Levels. Here, they are more common than they are in Super Mario Bros. While they remain unchanged for the first six worlds of the game, starting at World 7 (in Super Mario All-Stars; Worlds 7 and 8 only in the original), the Hammer Brothers always pursue Mario and Luigi, instead of staying at one location. They first pursue the Mario Bros. in World 7-1. Hammer Bros. even appear in some underwater levels, with their first underwater appearance being World 9-1.
Much like all green enemies in underwater levels, including the "green" Cheep-cheeps, Hammer Brothers are colored gray underwater in the Family Computer Disk System version only.
Super Mario Bros. 3[]
Hammer Brothers are given bigger roles in Super Mario Bros. 3. They essentially behave identically as in Super Mario Bros. Hammer Brothers now throw mallets instead of claw hammers like in previous appearances, but this has no effect on gameplay. The game also adds the Hammer Suit, a power-up that gives Mario or Luigi the ability to throw hammers like a Hammer Brother, enabling them to defeat stronger enemies like Boos, Dry Bones, and Thwomps.
Super Mario Bros. 3 introduces three Hammer Bro variants: the rare Fire Brothers, who spit fire like that of Fire Mario and are red, Boomerang Brothers, whose thrown boomerangs return to them and are green (light blue in artillery levels in the original version), and Sledge Brothers, who are huge and can pound the ground, temporarily immobilizing Mario or Luigi.
Additionally, Hammer Brothers and their variants patrol the map screens of all the worlds except for Pipe Land and Dark Land, which have Piranha Plant and Hand-Trap levels, respectively); touching one there results in a battle with them. The ones in Desert Land, however, trigger a battle with a Boomerang Brother (or two Fire Brothers in the secret area), and Giant Land has a Sledge Brother fought instead. This was changed in Super Mario All-Stars, where the map icons in Desert Land were changed to reflect a Boomerang Brother and a Fire Brother, and the icon in Giant Land was changed to a green Hammer Brother, since Sledge Brothers are green in all versions of Super Mario Bros. 3. Furthermore, in Super Mario Advance 4: Super Mario Bros. 3, the map icons in Giant Land were modified again to resemble a Sledge Brother.
Besides the enemy Hammer Brothers, it was originally intended that there be a Hammer Brother that hosted a Dice game. This was implemented as late as testing, but was eventually cut.
Super Mario World[]
Although regular Hammer Bros. do not appear in Super Mario World, the game introduces two varieties of them, the Amazing Flyin' Hammer Brother and the Sumo Bro appear. Amazing Flyin' Hammer Brothers each stand atop a Flying Platform while throw sledgehammers. Meanwhile, Sumo Bros. walk around, stomping the ground and producing shockwaves that Mario has to avoid.
New Super Mario Bros.[]
In New Super Mario Bros., Hammer Bros. appear once again as infrequent enemies. Hammer Bros. appear only in one regular level, World 2-4. Like in Super Mario Bros., Hammer Bros. attack Mario or Luigi by hopping up and down in place on rows of Brick Blocks and lobbing their hammers. Mario or Luigi can defeat a Hammer Bro to produce either a Fire Flower, a Mini Mushroom, a Mega Mushroom, a 1-Up Mushroom, or a Blue Shell.
Starting in World 5, Hammer Bros. start to appear on the map in a method similar to Super Mario Bros. 3. Unlike said game, Mario or Luigi do not get forced into an Enemy Course upon going to the same area as a Hammer Bro on the world map, but the Hammer Bro rather appears at the start of the level it is at on the map if Mario or Luigi access that same level, much like a Flying Question Block. Hammer Bros never stop at castles on the world map.
Boomerang Bros., Fire Bros., and Sledge Bros (misidentified as Sumo Bros. in the game). all return as enemies. Boomerang Bros. are still uncommon, with one found in World 2-5, and two found in World 7-3, and World 8-7. Sledge Bros. are even rarer, appearing only in World 8-7. The Fire Bro is the rarest variety, with the only two found in World 8-7.
New Super Mario Bros. Wii[]
The characters encounter Hammer Bros. in New Super Mario Bros. Wii.
Hammer Bros. appear in New Super Mario Bros. Wii. They appear exclusively in World 1-3. Yoshis, which appear in the same level, can catch a Hammer Bro's hammers with his tongue and spit them back out at the Hammer Bros, defeating them. However, Yoshi cannot eat a Hammer Bro itself, nor any variation of its species. If a Hammer Bro is defeated by a hammer spat at it, it drops coins. Other ways they can be defeated include stomps, as well as the effects of a Fire Flower or Starman. An Ice Ball thrown by Ice Mario or Penguin Mario can freeze a Hammer Bro.
Boomerang Bros., Fire Bros., and Sledge Bros. all return. Aside from this, the game introduces another variety, the Ice Bro, which throw Ice Balls to attack.
Super Mario Galaxy 2[]

After an absence from Super Mario Galaxy, Hammer Bros. and Boomerang Bros. return in Super Mario Galaxy 2. It is their first appearance in a 3D title of the Super Mario series. Hammer Bros. are commonly found, but not exclusive to, the Bowser and Bowser Jr. galaxies such as Bowser's Lava Lair, Bowser Jr.'s Fearsome Fleet, and Bowser's Galaxy Generator. Hammer Bros. do also appear in other galaxies such as the Grandmaster Galaxy.
A Hammer Bro attacks by throwing three hammers toward Mario or Luigi before leaping elsewhere and repeating the same action. As in New Super Mario Bros. Wii, Yoshi can eat the Hammer Bros.' hammers and spit them out as weapons. Mario can instantly defeat a Hammer Bro by either spinning at him or Ground Pounding him. Alternatively, Mario can stomp on a Hammer Bro, except this now knocks the Hammer Bro on his shell temporarily, leaving the Hammer Bro vulnerable to Mario or Luigi either walking into or stomping him, defeating the Hammer Bro. Hammer Bros. are slightly larger than before, which could be the cause of their added resistance than in the 2D titles of the Super Mario series.
Super Mario 3D Land[]
Hammer Bros. appear along with Boomerang Bros. in Super Mario 3D Land. They act the same as in Super Mario Galaxy 2, except they require only one stomp to defeat, making them as weak as in the 2D games. Other ways to defeat Hammer Bros. include the effects of the Fire Flower, Starman, Super Leaf, Statue Leaf, Boomerang Flower, and the Invincibility Leaf. Hammer Bros. also reuse the Boomerang Bros.' voice from Super Mario Galaxy 2.
Hammer Bros. appear in several levels, especially those at a castle. In Special 8-Bowser, Hammer Bros. hold blue + Clocks and must be defeated to extend the level's short time limit.
New Super Mario Bros. 2[]

Hammer Bros. return in New Super Mario Bros. 2, having the same role as they did in New Super Mario Bros. Wii. If Mario or Luigi activate a Gold Ring, Hammer Bros are among the enemies to change form during its effects, becoming Gold Bros, which throw three Coins in place of hammers. Hammer Bros. can be defeated either from being stomped or from the effects of either the Fire Flower, Super Leaf, Starman, Mega Mushroom, Gold Flower, or the Invincibility Leaf.
Like in New Super Mario Bros. Wii, Hammer Bros. appear in only one level during the adventure, World 2-2. They also appear in a few downloadable courses, including Coin Challenge Pack A Third Course, Coin Challenge Pack B Second Course, Mystery Adventures Pack First Course, and Impossible Pack First Course.
New Super Mario Bros. U[]
Hammer Bros. return in New Super Mario Bros. U along with many varieties, including the Boomerang Bros., Fire Bros., Ice Bros., Sledge Bros., and Sumo Bros. They retain their role from the previous two New Super Mario Bros. titles. Just as before, Hammer Bros. can be defeated from either being stomped, a fireball produced by a Fire Flower, or the effects of a Starman. In addition, Hammer Bros. can also be defeated from the bubbles produced by a Bubble Baby Yoshi, unlike other games. Like with New Super Mario Bros. Wii, a Hammer Bro can be frozen by an Ice Ball, produced by either an Ice Flower or a Penguin Suit, and a Yoshi can swallow a Hammer Bros'. hammer and spit it back out at him. Yoshis are still unable to eat Hammer Bros, nor can Baby Yoshis.
In the main story like in New Super Mario Bros. Wii and New Super Mario Bros. 2, Hammer Bros. appear only in one level, Rise of the Piranha Plants. However, they are also found in two Coin Courses in World Coin
-1 and World Coin-2 and also appear in several challenges.
New Super Luigi U[]
Hammer Bros. also appear in New Super Luigi U, behaving exactly as in the previous games. They first appear in Piranha Gardens and later appear in All Aboard!.
Super Mario 3D World / Super Mario 3D World + Bowser's Fury[]
Rendered artwork from the digital Super Mario 3D World Prima Games guide
Hammer Bros along with Boomerang Bros and Fire Bros reappear in Super Mario 3D World and its Nintendo Switch port Super Mario 3D World + Bowser's Fury acting the same way as in Super Mario 3D Land. However, their hammers are thrown higher and closer to them, like in the 2D games, rather than lower and farther. Hammer Bros are very common and can be defeated either from being stomped or from the effects of either the Fire Flower, Invincibility Leaf, Super Bell, Super Leaf, Starman, Boomerang Flower, Invincibility Bell, or the Cannon Box. Hammer Bros. are first seen in Fire Bros. Hideout #3.
In the Bowser's Fury campaign, Cat Hammer Bros appear in Lake Lapcat.
Super Mario Maker subseries[]
Hammer Bros. reappear in Super Mario Maker, Super Mario Maker for Nintendo 3DS, and Super Mario Maker 2 as enemies that can be placed into levels. The Hammer Bro, along with the Sledge Bro, have new sprites for Super Mario World. Unlike their past appearances, Yoshi is now capable of eating Hammer Bros. and spitting their hammers out. The player can apply wings to a Hammer Bro to turn it into a Para Bro, which can hop as well as jump higher. Hammer Bros. have uniquely designed sprite for Super Mario World style, since they do not appear in that source game.
An unused death animation for Hammer Bros. in the New Super Mario Bros. U style can be found in the files of Super Mario Maker.
Super Mario Odyssey[]
Two Hammer Bros. in Super Mario Odyssey, one of which is controlled by Mario.
Hammer Bros. along with Fire Bros appear in Super Mario Odyssey as enemies found in the Dark Side, Metro Kingdom (where they don their traditional helmets), Luncheon Kingdom (where they don chef hats and throw frying pans instead of hammers), and Moon Kingdom (where they don white top hats). The game reveals that Hammer Bros. have blue spiky hair with yellow tips underneath their helmets, similar to that of a Chargin' Chuck. Hammer Bros. also appear in certain 8-bit segments in the Cloud Kingdom and Luncheon Kingdom, where they act and look the same as they did in Super Mario Bros.
Mario can capture a Hammer Bro by first removing their headwear with Cappy, and then throwing Cappy at the Hammer Bro a second time. As a Hammer Bro, Mario can throw an unlimited supply of hammers (as in his Hammer form) and jump higher than normal. In the Luncheon Kingdom, by capturing a Hammer Bro, Mario throws pans instead. He can throw even faster and farther if the player shakes the controller. The hammers can be used to hit ? Blocks, and in only the Luncheon Kingdom, the frying pans can destroy blocks of cheese to reveal items hidden underneath.
