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.
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 around surrounding platforms.

===As a [[background character]]===
[[File:Koopa Cameo WiiU.png||thumb|left|100px|Hammer Bro (center) in the background of [[Super Mario Maker]] in ''Super Smash Bros. for Wii U''.]]
Hammer Bros. appears as a background character in the [[Super Mario Maker]] stage riding a [[Lakitu]] cloud. Their appearance changes depending on the game style, matching their designs in ''Super Mario Bros.'', ''Super Mario Bros. 3'', ''Super Mario World'', and ''New Super Mario Bros. U''.

===As an [[Assist Trophy]]===
[[File:Hammer Bro. SSBB AT.png|thumb|left|200px|As an Assist Trophy.]]
Hammer Bros. debuted in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'' 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.
 
In ''Brawl'', like most Assist Trophy characters that appear on-stage, the Hammer Bro is 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.

Trivia

  • 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 in Smash as an Assist Trophy.
  • Hammer Bro's artwork pose in New Super Mario Bros. U resembles its artwork pose in Brawl (albeit with its mouth closed).
