The Hammer Bro debuted in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'' as an Assist Trophy and an enemy in The Subspace Emissary.  
Hammer Bros. appears in ''Brawl'' as an [[Assist Trophy]]. They are invulnerable and attack by throwing hammers at opponents, and occasionally jump.
 
They also appear as enemies in [[Subspace Emissary]] with the same behavior, but this version can be attacked and defeated.
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.

Hammer Bros. first appeared in ''[[Super Mario Bros.]]'' and have 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.
