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 between surrounding platforms.

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!

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).
