themselves appear only in one regular stage as enemies, World 2-4. (along with their cousins the Sledge Bros., Fire Bros., and Boomerang Bros.) appear once again as infrequent enemies. They are also invulnerable to fireballs while crouching. This power-up gives Mario or Luigi the ability to throw hammers like a Hammer Brother, taking out stronger enemies like Boos, Dry Bones, and even Thwomps. The game also introduces a power-up, the Hammer Suit. This was implemented as late as testing but was eventually cut. 3, where the map icons in Giant Land were changed yet again to properly resemble a Sledge Brother.īesides the enemy Hammer Brothers, it was originally intended that there be a Hammer Brother that hosted a Dice game. A further change was made in Super Mario Advance 4: Super Mario Bros. This was changed in Super Mario All-Stars, where the map icons in Desert Land were changed to reflect a Boomerang Brother and a Fire Brother, and the icon in Giant Land was changed to a green Hammer Brother (since Sledge Brothers are green in all versions of Super Mario Bros. The ones in Desert Land, however, trigger a battle with a Boomerang Brother (or two Fire Brothers in the secret area), and Giant Land has a Sledge Brother fought instead. Additionally, Hammer Brothers and their variants patrol the map screens of all the worlds except for Pipe Land and Dark Land (which instead have Piranha Plant and Hand-Trap levels, respectively, that serve a similar purpose) touching one there will result in a battle with them. Their hammers in this game are mallets, instead of the claw hammers used in previous appearances. The main species of Hammer Brother is yellow in this game, and three new species appear: the rare Fire Brothers, who spit fire like that of Fire Mario and are red, Boomerang Brothers, whose thrown boomerangs will return to them and are green (light blue in artillery levels), and Sledge Brothers, who are huge and can pound the ground, temporarily immobilizing Mario or Luigi. In this game, they essentially do what they do in Super Mario Bros. Hammer Brothers are given bigger roles in Super Mario Bros. Hammer Brother sprites, from Super Mario Bros. In the All-Stars version of the game, their hammers are slightly slower and fly on a larger curve compared to the original, making them easier for the plumbers to pass through. Like the other impostors, its true identity will only be revealed if it is defeated by fireballs. A Hammer Brother serves as the Bowser Impostor at the end of World 7's castle. If a Hammer Brother is onscreen for a certain amount of time without being defeated, it will start to chase after Mario. The player can defeat them by running into them while invincible, shooting fireballs at them, hitting/breaking the Brick Blocks directly underneath them, or jumping on their heads, or avoid them by simply running past them while they are mid-jump. More often than not they are encountered in pairs, attacking Mario or Luigi by tossing hammers and jumping between rows of Brick Blocks. They also appear in World 5-2, World 7-1, World 8-3, and World 8-4. Hammer Brothers made their debut appearance in World 3-1 of Super Mario Bros., for the Nintendo Entertainment System.
