The Hammer Bro (ハンマーブロス, Hammer Bros.), or Hammer Brother, is a common enemy found in the Super Mario series and is a member of the Koopa Troop.

Origin

Hammer Bros. as they originally appeared in Super Mario Bros.

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.

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.

As an Assist Trophy

Hammer Bro as an Assist Trophy in Super Smash Bros. for Wii U.

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.

Trophy

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.

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!

In Super Smash Bros. Ultimate

As an Assist Trophy

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.

Spirit

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

Hammer Bro uses a 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 when Yoshi reaches high damage.

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).
