Hammer Brothers appear in ''Super Mario Bros.'' and ''[[Super Mario Bros.: The Lost Levels]]'' | Hammer Brothers appear in ''Super Mario Bros.'' and ''[[Super Mario Bros.: The Lost Levels]]'' A total of twenty are encountered in the former game, mostly in pairs, including a pair in [[World 3-1 (Super Mario Bros.)|World 3-1]]; two pairs in [[World 5-2 (Super Mario Bros.)|World 5-2]]; two pairs in [[World 7-1 (Super Mario Bros.)|World 7-1]]; one in [[World 7-4 (Super Mario Bros.)|World 7-4]] that is [[Fake Bowser|disguised as Bowser]]; eight in [[World 8-3 (Super Mario Bros.)|World 8-3]]; and one in [[World 8-4 (Super Mario Bros.)|World 8-4]] before the true [[Bowser]]. Hammer Brothers throw claw hammers, which always face left and rotate counterclockwise, and jump between the ground and one or two rows of [[Brick Block]]s. Hammer Brothers give 1,000 points when defeated, either from a [[stomp]], being hit from beneath the block they are on, being hit by a [[Koopa Shell|shell]] or a [[fireball]], or contact with [[Invincible Mario]]. A Hammer Brother starts chasing the player character if it is onscreen for about 50 seconds, though Hammer Bros. in ''Super Mario Bros.: The Lost Levels'' begin chasing the player more evidently from [[World 7-1 (Super Mario Bros.: The Lost Levels)|World 7-1]] onwards, and they are encountered underwater in [[World 9-1 (Super Mario Bros.: The Lost Levels)|World 9-1]], sporting a gray depiction in the [[Family Computer Disk System]] release because of the underwater palette. In the ''[[Super Mario All-Stars]]'' release of both games, the hammers thrown by Hammer Brothers are done slightly slower, fly on a larger curve, and make a whistling sound. | ||

Hammer Brothers return in ''[[Super Mario Bros. 3]]''. Their design depicts them with more yellow skin, black helmets, black [[Buzzy Beetle]]-like shells, and throwing mallets instead.

They can be defeated from the same methods as before, in addition to a hammer from [[Hammer Mario]] or the tail of [[Raccoon Mario|Raccoon]] or [[Tanooki Mario]]. Hammer Brothers have a point value of 100, unless they are [[stomp]]ed, giving 1,000 points instead. Variants debuting in the game include [[Boomerang Bro]]thers, which throw boomerangs; [[Fire Bro]]thers, which throw fireballs; [[Sledge Brother]]s, which are large and can create tremors upon landing. None of the variants jump between rows of blocks. | Hammer Brothers return in ''[[Super Mario Bros. 3]]''.
