The Hammer Bro (ハンマーブロス, Hammer Bros.), or Hammer Brother, are enemies from the Mario series.
OriginEdit
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 Troopas 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 Boomerang Bro, Fire Bro, and Ice Bro.

As an Assist Trophy and in The Subspace EmissaryEdit
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.

- Hammer Bro
- 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 Koopas and Buzzy Beetles, Hammer Bros. don't reduce to their shells when jumped on. As the name suggests, most Hammer Bros. are found in pairs.

In Super Smash Bros. 4Edit
As a background characterEdit
The 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 and in Smash RunEdit
The Hammer Bros. return as an Assist Trophy and an enemy in Smash Run, reprising their behavior in Brawl.
As an Assist Trophy, like most of the on-stage Assist Trophies that are invulnerable to attack, the Hammer Bros. can be attacked and KO'd. When they are KO'd, they act as they do in Super Mario Bros., falling through the stage while upside down.
TrophyEdit
The Hammer Bro trophy appears in both versions. In Super Smash Bros. for Wii U, it is part of the Bowser's Minions Trophy Box.
- Hammer Bro
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.- : Super Mario Bros. (10/1985)
: Super Mario Galaxy 2 (05/2010)
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!- : Super Mario Bros. (05/1987)
- : Super Mario Galaxy 2 (06/2010)
In Super Smash Bros. UltimateEdit
As an Assist TrophyEdit
The Hammer Bro return as an Assist Trophy, reprising their behavior in Brawl and Super Smash Bros. 4.
The Hammer Bro Assist Trophy can be attacked and KO'd, which earns the player an extra point. Training Mode describes their Assist Trophy: Throws hammers. Lots and lots of hammers. They cannot be summoned on the Mute City SNES stage.
SpiritEdit
The Hammer Bro also appears as an Advance-class primary spirit.
The Hammer Bro uses a Yoshi puppet fighter and is fought on the Golden Plains stage's Battlefield form, referencing the Hammer Bro's Enemy Course in the first world of Super Mario Bros. 3, which takes place on a grassy stage with hills in the background. During the battle, the Hammer Bro appears as a hostile Assist Trophy when Yoshi reaches high damage while Yoshi favors Egg Throw, referencing how the Hammer Bro throws their hammer and appears multiple time on-screen.

TriviaEdit
- 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).
