| An '''Amazing Flyin' Hammer Brother''' (alternatively spelled '''Amazing Flying Hammer Brother''',<ref>{{cite|date=August 1991|title=Nintendo ''[[Mario Mania]]'' Player's Guide|publisher=Nintendo of America|language=en-us|page=50}}</ref> and also occasionally shortened to '''A. F. H. Bro''') is a special variety of [[Hammer Bro]] that first appears in ''[[Super Mario World]]''. | |
| ==History==
| |
| ===''Super Mario'' series===
| |
| ====''Super Mario World'' / ''Super Mario World: Super Mario Advance 2''====
| |
| Amazing Flyin' Hammer Brothers are first encountered in [[Donut Plains 4]] in ''Super Mario World'' and [[Super Mario World: Super Mario Advance 2|its reissue]]. They hover around on two-block versions of [[Flying Platform]]s that swing back and forth. Amazing Flyin' Hammer Brothers attack by tossing [[hammer]]s from their swooping platforms, and the enemies can be defeated by various methods, most commonly hitting the platforms from below; they can also be defeated with a [[stomp]] or [[fireball]], though the hammers make it somewhat difficult to do so without taking damage. When an Amazing Flyin' Hammer Brother is defeated, the platform remains onscreen and continues on its original flight path; however, if the platform's rider is somehow defeated before the platform itself begins to move, it instead stays in place.
| |
|
| |
|
| During the enemy cast roll in the game's credits, the Amazing Flyin' Hammer Brother's platform resembles gray [[Empty Block]]s instead of gray [[Rotating Block]]s.
| | An '''Amazing Flyin' Hammer Bro.''' is a variety of [[Hammer Bros.|Hammer Bro.]] found in ''[[Super Mario World]]''. |
|
| |
|
| ====''Super Mario Advance 4: Super Mario Bros. 3''====
| | An Amazing Flyin' Hammer Bro. hovers around on a platform composed of two blocks with a wing on each side that swings back and forth. This enemy tosses hammers from his helicopter-like tool, attempting to attack [[Mario]]. He can be defeated by hitting him from below or from the side with a projectile attack. |

| |
| In ''[[Super Mario Advance 4: Super Mario Bros. 3]]'', a lone Amazing Flyin' Hammer Brother appears near the beginning of the [[World-e]] level [[Slip Slidin' Away (Super Mario Advance 4: Super Mario Bros. 3)|Slip Slidin' Away]]. It retains its appearance and behavior from ''Super Mario World''.
| |
|
| |
|
| ===''Super Mario-kun''===
| | When the Amazing Flyin' Hammer Bro. was defeated, the flying platform would remain and continue on its original flight path, allowing for an extra platform on which to stand; however, if the platform's rider was defeated before the platform itself began to move, it would not have a set path and would instead stay in place. |

| |
| A singular Amazing Flyin' Hammer Bro appears in the [[Super Mario-kun Volume 1|first volume]] of ''[[Super Mario-kun]]'', in chapters 10 and 11. He is a hammer smithy and works with his Flying Platform's sentient blocks. He reveals to them that he made a plan to defeat [[Mario]], [[Luigi]], and [[Yoshi]], and he created a lot of little hammers and one big hammer for them. The Hammer Bro, riding his platform, attacks the trio by tossing the big hammer. From its head, the little hammers come out, pound the three protagonists, and trap them inside the big hammer's head. Taking the big hammer, Amazing Flyin' Hammer Bro instructs the platform to take them to [[Bowser's Castle]], but the two blocks, which cannot take the weight and are angry at their boss that is shouting at them, throw both the Hammer Bro and the big hammer down, releasing the prisoner. Angry, the Hammer Bro brawls with the blocks, but Mario tries to stop them, telling them that friends should not fight, at which point the Hammer Bro and the platform realize Mario and his friends are free and proceed to attack them. Amazing Flyin' Hammer Bro then throws a flying homing hammer to Mario, and it pounds him into a block. Using the [[Block Mario|block as an armor]], Mario tries to attack the Hammer Bro, but the Hammer Bro attacks him with the little hammers, destroying his block-armor. Inside the destroyed block, Mario finds a [[Dragon Coin]], which Yoshi eats, transforming him into [[Shield Yoshi]]. With the [[Cape Mario|cape]] back, Mario grabs Shield Yoshi and tries again to attack the Hammer Bro, protecting himself with Yoshi. Amazing Flyin' Hammer Bro then tries to stop Mario with the big hammer as a last resort, but the Hammer Bro ends up sticking it into Yoshi's mouth, allowing Mario to punch the Hammer Bro, defeating him.

|
| |
|
| In the very next chapter, Amazing Flyin' Hammer Bro returns to Bowser's Castle, where he gets brutally punished by [[Bowser]] for his failure. Later, when Bowser tries to prove to [[Princess Peach|Peach]] that he is strong, by ordering [[Kamek]] to turn him into a block so that the minions can attack him and he can show he can withstand the pounding, Amazing Flyin' Hammer Bro joins the pounding, shouting, "Revenge time!"
| | Amazing Flyin' Hammer Brother made a reappearance in ''[[Super Princess Peach]]'', with a new "[[Calm]]" version that sleeps. This variation is called a [[Calm Amazing Flyin' Hammer Bro.]] |

| ===''Dinosaur Dilemma''=== | | == Trivia == |
| One Amazing Flyin' Hammer Brother appears in the [[Nintendo Adventure Books|Nintendo Adventure Book]] ''[[Dinosaur Dilemma]]'', capturing the remaining [[dinosaur]]s in [[Dinosaur Island]] while they, Mario, and Yoshi are looking for food near Lake Trilobite. The Amazing Flyin' Hammer Brother threatens to capture Yoshi as well but is scared off by Mario.

| ===''Super Princess Peach''===
| | *One of these enemies makes a cameo in the [[Nintendo Monopoly]]. |
| Amazing Flyin' Hammer Brothers, their name shortened to A. F. H. Bros., make a reappearance in ''[[Super Princess Peach]]'', retaining their appearance and behavior from previous games. They appear only in [[Giddy Sky]]. The game also introduces a sleeping "[[Calm]]" variant called a [[C. A. F. H. Bro]], which is comparatively more common. Strangely, Peach can instantly defeat the enemy by simply touching it if it is close enough to the ground.
