Hammer Bros. made their debut in ''[[Super Mario Bros.]]'' as a common enemy, and has become a common enemy in later ''Mario'' games. They are [[Koopa Troopa]]s with larger shells and helmets. They attack by throwing hammers at the player while jumping between surrounding platforms. Some games allow Hammer Bros to throw their hammers in different trajectories, making them difficult to approach. Variants of Hammer Bros. include the {{s|mariowiki|Boomerang Bro}}, {{s|mariowiki|Fire Bro}}, and {{s|mariowiki|Ice Bro}}.

===As an [[Assist Trophy]]===
Hammer Bros. debuted in ''[[Brawl]]'' as an Assist Trophy.
 
When the Hammer Bro. is summoned, they remain stationary at the area where they are summoned and throw hammers at the opponents. They jump occasionally to give their thrown hammers extra distance. In ''[[Brawl]]'', like most Assist Trophy characters that appear on-stage, Hammer Bros. are invincible; however, in ''[[Smash 4]]'' onward, they can be attacked and even KO'd. When they are KO'd, they act as they do in ''Super Mario Bros.'', falling through the stage while upside down. In ''[[Ultimate]]'', KO'ing the Hammer Bro. Assist Trophy earns the player an extra point.
 
''Ultimate's'' [[Training Mode]] describes the Hammer Bro. Assist Trophy: ''Throws hammers. Lots and lots of hammers.'' They cannot be summoned in the [[Mute City SNES]] stage.

[[File:Hammer Bro. SSBB AT.png|thumb|left|200px|As an Assist Trophy.]]
The Hammer Bro debuted in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'' as an Assist Trophy and an enemy in The Subspace Emissary.
 
As an Assist Trophy, when the Hammer Bro is summoned, they remain stationary in the area where they are summoned and attack by throwing hammers at the opponents. They occasionally jump, which can give their thrown hammers extra distance.
 
As an enemy in The Subspace Emissary, the Hammer Bro functions similarly as an Assist Trophy. They remain in one area, throw hammers at the players, and jump between platforms occasionally.
