The Hammer Bro., or Hammer Brother, is a common enemy found in the Super Mario series.

Character Description

The Hammer Bro. made its first appearance in the original Super Mario Bros. and has appeared in most Super Mario platformers since then. In almost all its appearances, the Hammer Bro. attacks by throwing hammers at Mario, Luigi, or other characters. However, a few games have demonstrated that not all Hammer Bros. are evil.

In Super Smash Bros. Brawl

A Hammer Bro. appears in Brawl as a helper which can be released from an Assist Trophy. It throws its famous hammers at its enemies and is invulnerable. It also appears as a common enemy in Adventure Mode, where it acts similar to its Assist Trophy role but can be hit by attacks. It appears as both a collectible trophy and sticker.

Trophy Description

A character who throws a seemingly endless stream of hammers. Hammer Bros. have also been known to jump every so often. Since they throw their hammers in a high arc, if you manage to get in close, the hammers can't hit you. Unlike Koopas and Buzzy Beetles, Hammer Bros. don't reduce to their shells when jumped on. As the name suggests, most Hammer Bros. are found in pairs.

  • Super Mario Bros.
  • New Super Mario Bros.

Stragies

The hammers thrown travel in high arks, making it possible to avoid them by standing right next to the Hammer Bro.
