The '''Hammer Bro''' ({{ja|ハンマーブロス|Hanmā Burosu}}, ''Hammer Bros.''), or '''Hammer Brother''', is a common enemy found in the [[Mario (universe)|''Super Mario'' series]] and is a member of the [[Koopa Troop]].

Hammer Bros. first appeared in ''[[Super Mario Bros.]]'' and have since gone on to appear frequently throughout the ''Mario'' series. They primarily act as enemies that throw hammers at the player while jumping around surrounding platforms. They appear as enemies in the [[Subspace Emissary]] in ''Brawl'' and in [[Smash Run]] for ''Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS'', and in both ''Brawl'' and ''SSB4'' as an Assist Trophy. They have similar attack patterns as they use in ''Super Mario Bros.'' with a reliance on throwing hammers and jumping. Their design is based on the Hammer Bros.' appearance in more recent games.

===As an [[Assist Trophy]]===

Hammer Bros. appear in ''Brawl'' as an [[Assist Trophy]]. They are invulnerable and attack by throwing hammers at opponents, and occasionally jump.

;Hammer Bros.

:''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 [[Koopa Troopa|Koopa]]s and {{s|mariowiki|Buzzy Beetle}}s, Hammer Bros. don't reduce to their shells when jumped on. As the name suggests, most Hammer Bros. are found in pairs.''

===As an Assist Trophy===

Hammer Bros. reprise their ''Brawl'' role as Assist Trophies and enemies, this time in [[Smash Run]]. Their behavior is unchanged, but unlike in ''Brawl'', their Assist Trophy version can be attacked and defeated. If defeated, they act as they did in the original ''Super Mario Bros.'', falling through the stage while upside down.

The Hammer Bro trophy appears in both versions. In {{forwiiu}} it is part of the ''Bowser's Minions'' [[Trophy Box]].

:{{Flag|North America}} ''These elite trooper turtles usually appeared in pairs in Super Mario Bros., wearing helmets and chucking hammers at Mario. When summoned, they'll advance on the nearest opponent and lob hammers in a graceful arc. Sometimes they'll throw in a jump to mix things up.''

:{{Flag|Europe}} ''Hammer Bros. usually appear in pairs in Super Mario Bros. games. With helmets on heads and hammers in hand, Bowser's elite troops never leg it when Mario shows up. In this game, they appear solo, flinging hammers at the nearest target. They can also jump and throw, so stay sharp!''

Hammer Bros. once again reprise their ''Brawl'' and ''Smash 4'' roles as Assist Trophies. Their behavior appears to be unchanged from ''Smash 4'', although KOing them earns a point. [[Training Mode]] describes their Assist Trophy: ''Throws hammers. Lots and lots of hammers.'' Hammer Bros. can't appear in [[Mute City SNES]].

Hammer Bro also appears as an Advance-class [[support spirit]].

Hammer Bro uses a {{SSBU|Yoshi}} puppet fighter and is fought on the [[Golden Plains]] stage's [[Battlefield form]]. During the battle, the Hammer Bro appears as a hostile Assist Trophy after Yoshi is at high damage.

*The Hammer Bro trophy is the only [[Assist Trophy]] that can only be obtained by using a [[Trophy Stand]] on it, due to its appearance in The Subspace Emissary. It is also the only Assist Trophy to appear in The Subspace Emissary.

*Despite Hammer Bros (and their variants) having voices in various ''Mario'' spin-off games (provided by Motoki Takagi), they are completely mute as an Assist Trophy.
