'''Hammer Bros''' (also known as '''Hammer Brothers'''<ref>{{cite|publisher=Nintendo of America|language=en-us|title=''Super Mario Bros. 3'' instruction booklet|page=41|date=1990}}</ref><ref>{{cite|title=''Super Mario All-Stars'' Player's Guide|page=9|date=1993|publisher=Nintendo of America|language=en-us}}</ref> and sometimes formatted with a full stop in older material) are [[List of enemies|enemies]] introduced in ''[[Super Mario Bros.]]'' These [[Koopa (species)|Koopa]]s stand upright and throw [[hammer]]s at targets. They wear helmets that usually match the color of their shell. The "Bros." in their name refers to how they often appear in pairs, though this is not always the case. Hammer Bros. have several times been described as elite members of [[Bowser]]'s [[Bowser's Minions|Koopa Troop]]. They were originally designed by Kazuaki Morita.<ref>{{cite|url=iwataasks.nintendo.com/interviews/ds/zelda/1/0/|title=Iwata Asks - Volume 2 : The History of Handheld The Legend of Zelda Games|publisher=Nintendo|archive=web.archive.org/web/20220720191834/https://iwataasks.nintendo.com/interviews/ds/zelda/1/0|accessdate=May 14, 2024}}</ref>
==History==
===''Super Mario'' series===
====''Super Mario Bros.'' / ''Super Mario Bros.: The Lost Levels''====
[[File:SMB-Hammer Bro Art.png|thumb|left|Artwork from ''Super Mario Bros.'', depicting its original design]]
Hammer Brothers appear in ''Super Mario Bros.'' and ''[[Super Mario Bros.: The Lost Levels]]''. A total of 20 is 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 [[Impostor 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 normally starts chasing the player character if it is onscreen for about 50 seconds, but in Worlds 7 and 8 of the original version of ''Super Mario Bros.: The Lost Levels'', and in all worlds from World 7 on in ''Super Mario All-Stars'', they chase the player immediately. 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. Sometimes there is a chance a Hammer Brother will throw a hammer backwards when defeated, usually when hit from underneath with a Brick Block. 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.

====''Super Mario Bros. 3''====
{{multiframe|[[File:HammerBro-Map-SMB3.png]] [[File:HammerBro-Map-SMAS SMB3.png]]<br>[[File:Hammer Bro SMB3 NES sprite.png]] [[File:HammerBro-SMB3-SMAS.png]]|Hammer Brother sprites, from ''Super Mario Bros. 3'' and its remakes|size=60|align=right}}
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. There are 19 Hammer Brothers in total, a majority appearing in [[Enemy Course]]s in [[Grass Land]], [[Water Land]], [[Sky Land]], and [[Ice Land]]; the first {{world link|8|trap|World 8-Hand Traps#First Hand Trap}} is the only proper level to include them. Hammer Bros. and their varieties all share the same world map sprites in the [[Family Computer]] and [[Nintendo Entertainment System]] release. Under certain conditions, one of the Hammer Brothers is replaced by a [[Treasure Ship]]. Three more Hammer Brothers appear in [[World-e]] in the [[Super Mario Advance 4: Super Mario Bros. 3|handheld remake]]: In [[Bowser's Last Stand]], the first of three doors leads to a room with two Hammer Brothers; in [[Koopaling Confusion]], a Hammer Bro is at the start of the second section, stationed by two wooden platforms under the level's third [[Advance Coin]], Behaviorally, Hammer Brothers do not chase the player characters at all. 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.

A Hammer Bro was [[List of Super Mario Bros. 3 pre-release and unused content|originally planned]] to host a Dice game. This was implemented as late as testing, but was eventually cut.

====''Super Mario World''====
Hammer Brothers do not appear in ''[[Super Mario World]]'', though a variation of them named [[Amazing Flyin' Hammer Brother]] does appear. Hammer Brothers were considered for inclusion during development.<ref>As can be seen on the {{file link|SMW Preliminary Sheets.jpg|preliminary sprite sheets for ''Super Mario World''}}, which feature the sprites of Hammer Brothers and Sledge Brothers.</ref>

====''New Super Mario Bros.''====
[[File:NSMBHammerBro.png|frame|left]]
Hammer Bros. return in ''[[New Super Mario Bros.]]'' They are designed after their look in ''Super Mario Bros.'', also throwing claw hammers as before. They are encountered only in [[World 2-4 (New Super Mario Bros.)|World 2-4]], where two are in an area with the third [[Star Coin]]. A similarity with Hammer Bros. as in ''Super Mario Bros. 3'' is their appearance in [[Enemy Course]]s from [[World 5 (New Super Mario Bros.)|World 5]] onwards, where defeating them causes a power-up item to appear.

====''New Super Mario Bros. Wii''====
[[File:NSMBW Hammer Bro Render.png|frame|right]]
Hammer Bros. appear in ''[[New Super Mario Bros. Wii]]''. Hammer Bros. are encountered in [[World 1-3 (New Super Mario Bros. Wii)|World 1-3]] only; there are two individual ones and one pair of them. Hammer Bros. are the same as before. They cannot be eaten by [[Yoshi]], but he can catch their hammers with his tongue to spit it back at them. Besides Hammer Bros., the [[Boomerang Bro]]s., [[Fire Bro]]s., and [[Sledge Bro]]s. also return, and adds [[Ice Bro]]s., which throw [[Ice Ball]]s.
{{br}}

====''Super Mario Galaxy 2''====
[[File:SMG2 Platform Planet.png|thumb|Screenshot from ''Super Mario Galaxy 2'', showing Hammer Bros. in [[Bowser's Galaxy Generator]]]]
Hammer Bros. appear in ''[[Super Mario Galaxy 2]]''. They are encountered in [[Bowser's Lava Lair]], [[Bowser Jr.'s Fearsome Fleet]], [[Bowser's Galaxy Generator]], and [[Grandmaster Galaxy]]. Hammer Bros. attack by throwing two hammers aimed at the player character, before leaping elsewhere and repeating. A Hammer Bro is spun out temporarily on its shell if the player character either [[Star Spin|spins]] at or stomps it, giving an opportunity to defeat it on contact; a Hammer Bro can also be defeated from a [[Ground Pound]] or if Yoshi spits one of its hammers at it. Boomerang Bros. also return.

====''Super Mario 3D Land''====
Hammer Bros. return in ''[[Super Mario 3D Land]]''. They are encountered mostly in castle levels. Hammer Bros. behave identically as in ''Super Mario Galaxy 2'', though take only one hit to defeat and use the Boomerang Bros.' voice from ''Super Mario Galaxy 2''. Hammer Bros. with blue [[+ Clock]]s are encountered in [[Special 8-Bowser]]. Boomerang Bros. also return.

====''New Super Mario Bros. 2''====
Hammer Bros. return in ''[[New Super Mario Bros. 2]]''. They appear only in [[World 2-2 (New Super Mario Bros. 2)|World 2-2]], as well as four in the [[Third Course (Coin Challenge Pack A)|third course]] of Challenge Pack A, one at the start of the [[Second Course (Coin Challenge Pack B)|second course]] of Coin Challenge Pack B, fifteen in the [[First Course (Mystery Adventures Pack)|first course]] of the Mystery Adventures Pack, and four in the final section of the [[First Course (Impossible Pack)|first course]] of the Impossible Pack. Hammer Bros. act like they do in ''New Super Mario Bros. Wii'', though the effects of the [[Gold Ring]] turn them into [[Gold Bro]]s., giving them coins to throw instead of hammers.

====''New Super Mario Bros. U'' / ''New Super Luigi U'' / ''New Super Mario Bros. U Deluxe''====
Hammer Bros. are enemies in ''[[New Super Mario Bros. U]]'', ''[[New Super Luigi U]]'', and [[New Super Mario Bros. U Deluxe|their port]]. They are encountered in [[Rise of the Piranha Plants]] only in the former game and in [[Piranha Gardens]] and [[All Aboard!]] only, in addition to {{world link|coin|1|World Coin-1 (New Super Mario Bros. U)}} and {{world link|coin|2|World Coin-2 (New Super Mario Bros. U)}} in the [[Coin Courses]], plus other challenges. Hammer Bros. are the same as before.

====''Super Mario 3D World'' / ''Super Mario 3D World + Bowser's Fury''====
Hammer Bros. return in ''[[Super Mario 3D World]]'' and [[Super Mario 3D World + Bowser's Fury|its port]]. They behave like they do in ''Super Mario 3D Land'', but their hammers are thrown higher and closer to them, like in the 2D games of the ''Super Mario'' series. Boomerang Bros. and Fire Bros. also return, as well as cat variants in [[Lake Lapcat]] in ''[[Bowser's Fury]]''.

====''Super Mario Maker'' / ''Super Mario Maker for Nintendo 3DS'' / ''Super Mario Maker 2''====
Hammer Bros. are course elements in ''[[Super Mario Maker]]'', [[Super Mario Maker for Nintendo 3DS|its port]], and ''[[Super Mario Maker 2]]''. They can be placed as enemies in any of the game styles, being given unique sprites for the ''[[Super Mario World]]'' style. Hammer Bros. can be eaten by Yoshi, unlike before, with a hammer being spit out afterward. Hammer Bros. with wings applied to them can jump higher. Besides Hammer Bros. are the returning [[Sledge Bro]]s. and [[Fire Bro]]s., with the latter being in the ''Super Mario 3D World'' game style of ''Super Mario Maker 2'' only.

An [[List of Super Mario Maker pre-release and unused content|unused death animation]] for them in the ''New Super Mario Bros. U'' style can be found in the files of ''Super Mario Maker''.

====''Super Mario Odyssey''====
[[File:SMO E3 2017 screenshot 12.png|thumb|left|Screenshot from ''[[Super Mario Odyssey]]'', showing a regular and a captured Hammer Bro]]
Hammer Bros. are enemies in ''[[Super Mario Odyssey]]''. They are revealed to have blue spiky hair with yellow tips. Hammer Bros. are encountered in the [[Dark Side]]; [[Metro Kingdom]]; [[Luncheon Kingdom]], wearing chef hats and throwing frying pans; and [[Moon Kingdom]], wearing white top hats. The ''Super Mario Bros.'' iteration of Hammer Bros. appear in some 8-bit segments in the [[Cloud Kingdom]] and Luncheon Kingdom. A Hammer Bro is vulnerable to being [[capture]]d if its headwear is removed by [[Cappy]]. As a Hammer Bro, Mario can throw hammers to attack, not unlike the Hammer Mario form, and can hit [[? Block]]s; a captured Hammer Bro in the Luncheon Kingdom can destroy blocks of cheese with its frying pans.

====''Super Mario Bros. Wonder''====
Hammer Bros. reappear in ''[[Super Mario Bros. Wonder]]''. Like in the ''Super Mario Maker'' games, they can be eaten by Yoshi.

===''Super Mario Bros.: Peach-hime Kyūshutsu Dai Sakusen!''===
[[File:AnimeHammerBro.png|thumb|A Hammer Brother preparing to throw a hammer in ''Super Mario Bros.: Peach-hime Kyūshutsu Dai Sakusen!]]''
No Hammer Brothers are part of Bowser's invasion force at the start of ''[[Super Mario Bros.: Peach-hime Kyūshutsu Dai Sakusen!]]'', but one does appear later on. This Hammer Brother (which, depending on the selected scene, is inconsistently depicted as both rather large and completely to-scale) is assigned to guard a cave where a recurring pair of [[Goomba]]s trap Mario, Luigi, and [[Haru-ōji|Kibidango]]. However, Luigi (who was searching for [[coin]]s at the time) digs an escape tunnel, and they escape from the Hammer Bro without being caught. In a last-ditch attempt to retrieve the prisoners, the Hammer Bro throws hammers at a cliff that Mario, Luigi, and Kibidango are trekking across, and causes the top of the cliff that Kibidango and Mario are on to fall, smashing the area that the Hammer Bro is on and burying him beneath several rocks.

Robed, book-carrying Hammer Brothers are later seen acting as singers during Bowser and Peach's wedding towards the end of the film, and another Hammer Brother is seen applying makeup to Princess Peach for the said event.

===''Amada Anime Series: Super Mario Bros.''===
====''Super Mario Momotarō''====
[[File:Mario riding.png|left|thumb|Ojīsan and Obāsan]]
Hammer Bros. appear in the [[Amada Anime Series: Super Mario Bros.|''Super Mario'' anime series]]. In ''[[Super Mario Momotarō]]'', two elderly Hammer Brothers play the role as the adoptive parents of [[Mario]] and the parents of [[Princess Peach]]. They are called [[Ojīsan and Obāsan|''Ojīsan'' and ''Obāsan'']], the Japanese words for ''grandfather'' and ''grandmother''.

Super Show!'' writer's bible|publisher=WorthPoint|language=en}}</ref> appear in the episodes "[[Do You Princess Toadstool Take this Koopa...?]]" and "[[The Trojan Koopa]]" of ''[[The Super Mario Bros. Super Show!]]'' They resemble Koopa Troopas, but with pinker face, yellow spots, helmets, and hammers. The Hammer Brothers in "Do You Princess Toadstool Take this Koopa...?" accidentally hit each other on the head with their hammers while intending to target Mario and Luigi. The only episode of ''The Super Mario Bros. Super Show!'' where Hammer Brothers have a speaking role is "The Trojan Koopa," where they are guards of King Koopa's island fortress.

====''The Adventures of Super Mario Bros. 3''====
[[File:Hammer Brothers in TAoSMB3.png||left|thumb|Two Hammer Brothers in the ''Adventures of Super Mario Bros. 3'' episode "Oh, Brother!"]]
Hammer Brothers appear in the episodes "[[Oh, Brother!]]" and "[[Toddler Terrors of Time Travel]]" of ''[[The Adventures of Super Mario Bros. 3]]''. Their design was altered to resemble theirs in ''Super Mario Bros. 3''. Two Hammer Brothers in "Oh, Brother!" apprehend Mario after he is pulled into the dungeon. The Hammer Brothers in "Toddler Terrors of Time Travel" put onboard the [[Bowser's Airship|Doom Ship]]; one in particular struggles to carry the crate,<ref>{{cite|quote=I must be getting tired... This crate is 10 times as heavy as it was before!|author=Hammer Brother|title="Toddler Terrors of Time Travel" - ''The Adventures of Super Mario Bros. 3''|publisher=DIC Entertainment|language=en-us|date=September 29, 1990}}</ref> contrary to one carrying four at once. 
{{br}}

===Nintendo Comics System===
Hammer Brothers are antagonists in the stories "[[The Fish That Should've Gotten Away]]" and "[[The Kingdom Enquirer]]" of the ''[[Nintendo Comics System]]''. In the former, Hammer Brothers are part of the crowd of monsters who chase [[Mario]], and in the latter, several Hammer Brothers bother [[Toad]] at one point.

===Nintendo Adventure Books===
A pair of Hammer Brothers bring Luigi to Bowser in ''[[Koopa Capers]]'' after a [[magic carpet|flying carpet]] deposits him outside Bowser's Castle. If Luigi decides to look around the castle for clues about [[Wendy|Wendy O. Koopa]]'s disappearance, Bowser tries to call in a Hammer Brother to act as an escort for him, but Luigi declines the offer.

While traveling through the [[Koopahari Desert]] in ''[[Pipe Down!]]'', the Mario Brothers bring up a previous close call with some Hammer Brothers during a past visit to the region. 

In ''[[Dinosaur Dilemma]]'', two Hammer Brothers can be found sleeping in Bowser's Castle by Mario and Yoshi, and are woken up by their cuckoo clock as the two try to sneak out of the room. Depending on how the reader solves the accompanying puzzle, the Hammer Brothers either knock the heroes out and make a meal out of them, or their hammer blows keep missing, and weaken the floor to the point that they go falling through it while Mario and Yoshi escape.

In ''[[Flown the Koopa]]'', if the reader chooses to have Luigi be the head of a Brachiosaurus costume the Mario Brothers don, they run into a Tyrannosaurus Rex. Depending on how the accompanying puzzle is solved, the T-Rex can turn out to be two disguised Hammer Brothers, who see through the Mario Bros.' costume, use some rubber cement to seal them in it, and capture them with the intent of making a meal out of the two.

===''Mario the Juggler''===
[[File:HeartBroPic2.png|thumb|100px|Artwork of a Hammer Bro in ''Mario the Juggler'']]

{{quote|HEY! Are [[Mario|YOU]] lookin' at me? My hammer and I don't like you! Now ya got my hammer angry! Ya shouldn't have done that!|Hammer Bro|Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars}}
Hammer Bros. are enemies in ''[[Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars]]'' and [[Super Mario RPG (Nintendo Switch)|its remake]]. They have large bodies and hammers made of wood. The remake updates them to use their common design while retaining elements such as the black coloring of their shells and helmets, as well as the wooden hammers they wield.

A Hammer Bro appears at the end of [[Mushroom Way]], and [[Mario]] must battle him to proceed to [[Toad Town|Mushroom Kingdom]]. If [[Toad]] has been previously rescued from [[Goomba]]s and [[Koopa Paratroopa|Paratroopa]]s, the Hammer Bro also captures him in his rush to get to the castle, and needs to be saved by Mario. Although only one appears on the field, a second Hammers Bro appears in battle. During the battle, the Hammer Bros. pound Mario with their hammers, and occasionally use the special move [[Hammer Time]], throwing multiple hammers at him. When Mario defeats one of the brothers, the remaining brother uses the move [[Valor Up]] to increase his defense. When defeated, they yield a [[Flower Jar]], and leave a [[Hammer]] behind.

Later in the game, a green-colored Hammer Bro named [[Dr. Topper]] appears in [[Bowser's Castle|Bowser's Keep]], which has been taken over by the [[Smithy Gang]]; Dr. Topper is not an enemy. Instead, he blocks Mario's progress through Bowser's Keep unless Mario solves his various puzzles and riddles.

===''Super Smash Bros.'' series===
[[File:Hammer Bro SSBU.png|thumb|left|Artwork of a Hammer Bro for ''Super Smash Bros. Ultimate'']]
{{main-wiki|SmashWiki|Hammer Bro}}
In the first two games of the [[Super Smash Bros. (series)|''Super Smash Bros.'' series]], Hammer Bros. only make a background appearance. In ''[[Super Smash Bros.]]'', Hammer Bros. appear in the background of the [[Mushroom Kingdom (Super Smash Bros.)|Mushroom Kingdom]] stage. Similarly, in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]'', Hammer Bros. in the background of the game's version of [[Mushroom Kingdom (Super Smash Bros. Melee)|Mushroom Kingdom]].

Since ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'', a Hammer Bro has appeared as an [[Assist Trophy]] character throughout the ''Super Smash Bros.'' series Once released from the Assist Trophy, the Hammer Bro throws hammers at the opponents, damaging them. In ''Super Smash Bros. Brawl'', the Hammer Bro is invincible, like with most other Assist Trophy characters. In ''[[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS]]'' / ''[[Super Smash Bros. for Wii U|Wii U]]'' and ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]'', Hammer Bro can be attacked, and if it takes enough damage, Hammer Bro flips upside-down and falls off-screen, similarly to how they act when defeated in ''Super Mario Bros.''

Hammer Bros. appear in a few of the single-player campaigns throughout the series. In ''Super Smash Bros. Brawl'', Hammer Bros. are enemies in [[smashwiki:Adventure Mode: The Subspace Emissary|The Subspace Emissary]]. One appears to have helped steal [[Donkey Kong]]'s [[banana hoard]] and is tracked down by Donkey Kong and Diddy Kong. The Hammer Bros. can be damaged and defeated, unlike their Assist Trophy counterpart. In ''Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS'', Hammer Bros. are enemies in [[smashwiki:Smash Run|Smash Run]] mode, where they behave almost identically to their Assist Trophy counterparts, except defeating them in this mode causes them to bounce around rather than fall off-screen immediately.

In ''Super Smash Bros. Ultimate'', Hammer Bro appears as an Advanced-class Grab-type {{iw|smashwiki|primary spirit}}, which grants the user slightly increased jump height. In the corresponding spirit battle, the player has to fight [[Yoshi]] on the [[Golden Plains]] stage, with the Hammer Bro Assist Trophy appearing when the opponent is highly damaged. The core extracted from a Hammer Bro [[Spirit (Super Smash Bros. Ultimate)|spirit]] can be used with a Reporter & Wrestler core to summon {{iw|wikirby|Masked Dedede}}'s spirit.

===''Paper Mario'' series===

{{Quote|Nyuck yuck yuck... What took you so long, Mario? Ready to taste my hammer? Here it comes!!!|Hammer Bro|Paper Mario}}
In ''[[Paper Mario]]'', Hammer Bros., along with [[Koopatrol]]s and [[Magikoopa]]s, are the elite of Bowser's forces. In this game, Hammer Bros. attack Mario by either throwing one hammer at him or several, weak hammers at him. Hammer Bros.' attacks can occasionally [[Tiny (status effect)|shrink]] Mario on hit, reducing his Attack power for the duration. 

A Hammer Bro can be first encountered in ''Paper Mario'' in the [[Shy Guy's Toy Box]], if Princess Peach tells Bowser and [[Kammy Koopa]] that one of the things that Mario fears most is a Hammer Bro, Kammy Koopa later warps a Hammer Bro into the Shy Guy's Toy Box to guard a treasure chest. Hammer Bros. are also encountered throughout Bowser's Castle, where they act as guards, attacking Mario if he approaches. Additionally, a Hammer Bro by the name of [[Mr. Hammer]] runs a quiz called the [[64th Trivia Quiz-Off]], in which [[Princess Peach]] participates.

====''Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door''====
{{quote|My grandpappy's hammer is gonna strike you down, man! Here it comes!|Hamma Jamma|Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door}}
[[File:Hamma Jamma.png|thumb|A Hammer Bro from ''Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door''.]]
Hammer Bros. return in ''[[Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door]]''. They are encountered mainly in [[Rogueport Underground]] after beating Chapter 5, as well as in [[Twilight Town]], during Bowser and [[Kammy Koopa|Kammy]]'s attack on the area. Hammer Bros. attack identically as as in ''Paper Mario'', but lose the ability to shrink Mario. Also, in Bowser's first scenario, two Hammer Bros. converse, with one of them referring to something he witnessed where Bowser was apparently swooning over a portrait of Princess Peach, only for the other Hammer Bro to attempt to hint that he should stop talking as Bowser is right behind him. Although Bowser claims that the story was funny and beckons the surprised Hammer Bro to continue, both deny that he was funny. Hammer Bros. are sometimes part of the [[audience]], and if Mario fails the action command of a hammer attack, they can prepare to throw their hammer at him.

There are some other Hammer Bros. [[Hamma Jamma]] has a team at the [[Glitz Pit]] is with his two brothers, [[Hamma, Bamma, and Flare#Bamma|Bamma]], a [[Boomerang Bro]] and [[Hamma, Bamma, and Flare#Flare|Flare]], a [[Fire Bro]]. Hamma Jamma also speaks of his father and even his grandfather on occasion, the former of which he mentions is a [[List of implied species#Business Bro|Business Bro]].

====''Super Paper Mario''====
{{Quote|We'll miss you, Your Surliness! <small>Parrrrrty!</small>|Hammer Bro|Super Paper Mario}}
Hammer Bros. return in ''[[Super Paper Mario]]''. Most have been hypnotized by [[Nastasia]] into serving [[Count Bleck]]. A few in [[The Bitlands]] still serve Bowser. Hammer Bros. also appear in the [[Flipside Pit of 100 Trials]]. The game introduces a shadowy counterpart, [[Dark Hammer Bro]]. There is a specific [[Hammer Bro captain|Hammer Bro]] and a [[Private Koopa|Koopa private]] who help [[Princess Peach]] at [[Castle Bleck]].

====''Paper Mario: Sticker Star''====
Hammer Bros. return in ''[[Paper Mario: Sticker Star]]''. They are encountered in most worlds. Hammer Bros. attack by throwing hammers in the air to hit Mario from above or by throwing them straight at him. The hammer throw attack can come at Mario very fast so the player must be prepared for this attack. This attack as well can throw off timing by either blocking too early and the Hammer Bro waits for at least two seconds or Hammer Bros. can also throw the hammer before the player even has a chance to block for one second. Hammer Bros. also toss hammers outside of battle, which also damages Mario if he is hit. A glitch in the game has one Hammer Bro in [[Shy Guy Jungle]] standing in mid-air. Along with Hammer Bros., [[Snifit]]s, [[Spiny|Spinies]] and [[Scaredy Rat]]s are the enemies that can throw off timing.

====''Paper Mario: Color Splash''====
{{Quote|Need a general contractor?|Hammer Bro|Paper Mario: Color Splash}}
[[File:PMCS Hammer Bro.png|thumb|left|upright=0.45|Hammer Bro sprite from ''Paper Mario: Color Splash'']]
Hammer Bros. return in ''[[Paper Mario: Color Splash]]''. They are the same as in the previous game. The first Hammer Bro is encountered in [[The Golden Coliseum]], and one in the same area rides one of the three chariots during the [[Iggy|Iggy Koopa]] battle, called [[Chariot Bro]]. Two [[Small Hammer Bro]]s. attack Mario when he is about to get the second [[Mini Paint Star]] in [[Sacred Forest]]. Circus variations of Hammer Bros., called [[Juggler Bro]], and Boomerang Bros., called [[Circus Bro]], appear in [[Mossrock Theater]] and [[the Emerald Circus]]. A Hammer Bro is the third-round opponent in [[Roshambo Temple#Roshambo Temple #4|Roshambo Temple #4]]. The last Hammer Bro is fought in the [[black paint]] mixing room of [[Black Bowser's Castle]], also having another in the background. [[Fire Bro]]s., [[Ice Bro]]s., [[Boomerang Bro]]s., and [[Sledge Bro]]s. reappear.

====''Paper Mario: The Origami King''====
{{Quote|I can hammer all day, bro.|Hammer Bro|Paper Mario: The Origami King}}
[[File:PMTOK Origami Hammer Bro.png|thumb|x150px|An origami Hammer Bro in ''Paper Mario: The Origami King'']]
Hammer Bros. are allies, while origami Hammer Bros. are enemies, in ''[[Paper Mario: The Origami King]]''. A Hammer Bro attacks using either the usual Hammer Throw or the added Super Bro Throw, the latter involving it grabbing another enemy and using them as a projectile, defeating the Hammer Bro in the process. A friendly Hammer Bro in [[Shangri-Spa]] mentions that Hammer Bros.' hammers "aren't just for throwing", as it is using the hammer to fix part of a small bridge. [[Boomerang Bro]]s., [[Fire Bro]]s., and [[Ice Bro]]s. return, all of which can use Super Bro Throw.

===''Mario Kart'' series===
====''Mario Kart: Super Circuit''====
A Hammer Bro cameos in ''[[Mario Kart: Super Circuit]]''. It uses its design from ''Paper Mario''. The Hammer Bro is within the crowd at the awards ceremony.

====''Mario Kart Wii''====
[[File:HammerBro-MKWii-Icon.png|thumb|left|Unused character icon]]
Hammer Bro was originally planned to be playable in ''[[Mario Kart Wii]]'' along with Koopa Paratroopa, Petey Piranha and a Mii Outfit C (which in turn would have marked his debut as a playable character in the ''Mario Kart'' series), but was taken out of the final game. Hammer Bros. are spectators in courses such as [[Mario Circuit (Mario Kart Wii)|Mario Circuit]], usually with Shy Guys.

====''Mario Kart 7''====
Hammer Bros. are spectators on [[3DS Toad Circuit|Toad Circuit]] in ''[[Mario Kart 7]]''.
{{br|left}}
====''Mario Kart 8'' / ''Mario Kart 8 Deluxe''====
Hammer Bros. are spectators in [[Bowser's Castle (Mario Kart 8)|Bowser's Castle]] and {{classic link|3DS|Neo Bowser City}} in ''[[Mario Kart 8]]'' and ''[[Mario Kart 8 Deluxe]]''.

====''Mario Kart Tour''====
[[File:MKT Tour13 RosalinaCupChallenge.png|thumb|The course icon for the bonus challenge against Mega Hammer Bro]]
A Hammer Bro appears in ''[[Mario Kart Tour]]'' as the opponent in the [[Vs. Mega]] challenge of the [[Rosalina Cup]] in the [[Baby Rosalina Tour]]. He uses his [[Hammer]]s as his special item for the entirety of the race (although he did use a Mushroom at the very start).

He was also teased through the reflection of [[Baby Rosalina|Baby Rosalina (Detective)]]'s magnifying glass in the splash art and at the start of the trailer for the Baby Rosalina Tour.<ref>{{cite|url=x.com/kart_tour/status/1237845083770064896|title=News: Nintendo teased Hammer Bro in the Detective Rosalona render! #MarioKartTour Source: @Ep_stuff|publisher=X|author=kart_tour|accessdate=May 13, 2024}}</ref> Hammer Bro was added as a playable character since the [[Hammer Bro Tour]], which began on March 25, 2020, also including a playable [[Boomerang Bro]], [[Ice Bro]], and [[Fire Bro]]. He is classified as a Super character with his Hammers reprising their role as his special item. His emblem consists of a cartoon drawing of his head facing left, albeit lacking the eyes, similar to [[Dry Bones]]'.

Hammer Bro is the selected driver for some bonus challenges, including a [[Ring Race]] on [[RMX Rainbow Road 1]] and a [[Time Trial (Mario Kart Tour)|Time Trial]] on [[3DS Shy Guy Bazaar|3DS Shy Guy Bazaar R]].

===''Mario & Luigi'' series===
====''Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga'' / ''Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga + Bowser's Minions''====
{{multiframe|[[File:Superstar Saga Hammer Bros.png]] [[File:MLSSBMHammerBro.png]]|size=100|Original and remake|align=left}}
Hammer Bros. are enemies in ''[[Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga]]'' and ''[[Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga + Bowser's Minions]]''. The original version gives them white pupil-less eyes, a more hunched and somewhat portly posture, and no shoes. Hammer Bros. are encountered in [[Bowser's Castle]]. They assist [[Gunner Guy]]s and [[Boo]]s, which are the only ways of encountering them. Hammer Bros. are healed by fire whilst vulnerable to thunder. Hammer Bros. attack by throwing hammers, jumping if it targets [[Luigi]], otherwise it targets Mario. A Hammer Bro's hammer attack is countered with the targeted Mario Bro's hammer. After losing at least half of its HP, a Hammer Bro begins to throw two hammers while attacking. Variants debuting include [[Border Bro]]s., [[Beanerang Bro]] (named Boomerang Bro in the original), [[Yo Bro]], the [[Limbo Bro]] and their [[Elite Limbo Bro|Elite]] counterparts, and [[Chomp Bro]].

Hammer Bros. are enemies and allies in the ''[[Minion Quest: The Search for Bowser]]'' mode. Hammer Bros. are Ranged troopers and attack by throwing their hammers. Their [[Special Skill (Mario & Luigi series)|Special Skill]], Rain of Pain, involves them throwing multiple hammers at surrounding foes. They team up with the [[Hammerhead Bros.]] in their first encounter at "[[For the Love of Hammers]]." They fight [[Captain Goomba (Mario & Luigi series)|Captain Goomba]]'s squad to decide whether to join them or not. The Hammer Bros. are confident enough that their hammer crafting can create the [[Ultra Hammer]].

====''Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time''====
[[File:Mario, Luigi, and the babies meeting the Hammer Bros.png|thumb|The brainwashed Hammer Bros.]]
Only one pair of Hammer Bros. appears in ''[[Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time]]''. The [[Shroob]]s brainwash them with mind-controlling antenna and order them to guard the [[Vim Factory]]. While mind-controlled, the Hammer Bros. introduce themselves as the '''L33T HAMM3R BROZ.''', and speak in the Internet "language" known as "[[Wikipedia:Leet|1337-speak]]" (pronounced "leet speak"), as well as with capital letters. In the Japanese version, they speak completely in {{iw|wikipedia|katakana}}, as opposed to {{iw|wikipedia|hiragana}},<ref name=Japanese>{{cite|url=tcrf.net/Mario_%26_Luigi:_Partners_in_Time/Regional_Differences#Hammer_Bros.27_Dialogue|title=''Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time''|publisher=The Cutting Room Floor|language=en|accessdate=July 31, 2024}}</ref> and in the Korean version, their speech is full of spelling and spacing errors. In French versions, they drop the 1337 aspect of their speech (with the exception of their names, which still render the "L33T" part) in favor of SMS-like speech containing various spelling errors. In German versions, they do not speak in 1337, but in broken sentences. The Spanish translation of the game removes the 1337 aspect of the characters entirely, and the only different speech pattern is robotic all-caps. It is possible that this happened due to difficulties with localization, as 1337-speak is extremely uncommon among online Spanish communities. One of them introduces themselves as the "L33T HAMM3R BROZ." due to the way they speak in the English version.

When [[Mario]], [[Luigi]], [[Baby Mario]], and [[Baby Luigi]] arrive in the Vim Factory, they are instantly confronted by the "L33T HAMM3R BROZ." After Mario and Luigi are captured by the factory's automated defenses, Baby Mario and Baby Luigi are forced to battle the Hammer Bros. In battle, the Hammer Bros. have 100 [[Heart Point|HP]] (90 in non-American versions) and attack by using the [[Knockback Bros.]] technique, a [[Bros. Attack]] from ''[[Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga]]''. Using his hammer, one Hammer Bro smashes the other into a ball, then hits him into either Baby Mario or Baby Luigi. To avoid the attack, the babies have to jump over the ball Hammer Bro as he approaches. Sometimes, the Hammer Bro's hammer breaks, sending the ball bouncing towards a baby. In this case, the baby brother should not [[jump]], as the balled brother simply bounces over the baby's head.

[[File:Hammer Bros. Knockback Bros..png|thumb|left|The Hammer Bros. fighting the Baby Mario Bros.]]
After one Hammer Bro is defeated (or if one of the Hammer Bros. is unable to attack), the other one is forced to fight by himself. To attack, the sole Hammer Bro tosses spinning hammers that roll on the ground. To defend against this attack, the Baby Mario Bros. have to jump over the hammers as they approach. To determine which baby he is aiming for, the player needs to watch what he does before throwing. If he hops, he throws it at Baby Mario, and if he rolls his eyes around, he throws it at Baby Luigi. Ultimately, Baby Mario and Baby Luigi have to work together and defeat the second Hammer Bro. Unlike most bosses in ''Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time'', they use the same defeat animation of a normal enemy; the same thing happens with [[Junior Shrooboid]], the [[Shroob]]s, and [[Kamek]]. Also, in the [[Nintendo Power|Player's Guide]], the word "boss" is missing from the stat box.

In defeating the Hammer Bros., the Baby Mario Bros. destroyed their mind-control antennas. Free from Shroob influence, the Hammer Bros. begin to speak normally again. They also comment on the strange manner of speaking they were just using. Grateful for being released, the Hammer Bros. give the babies two spare [[hammer]]s they were holding, and teach them how to use the hammer and [[Baby Drill]].

When the babies go into the vents and encounter a [[Spiny Shroopa]], the Hammer Bros. teach them how to use the hammers in battle. Later, when the babies rescue Mario and Luigi and encounter two more Spiny Shroopas, the Hammer Bros. return and show how to use the hammer while piggybacking in battle.

====''Mario & Luigi: Dream Team''====
Hammer Bros. do not appear in ''[[Mario & Luigi: Dream Team]]'', but Boomerang Bros. and Fire Bros. are encountered as enemies in [[Somnom Woods]] and [[Neo Bowser Castle]].
{{br}}

====''Mario & Luigi: Paper Jam''====
Hammer Bros. are enemies in ''[[Mario & Luigi: Paper Jam]]''. Some Hammer Bros. [[Stuff Retrieval|steal all of the Trio's Battle Command Blocks]] at one point, prompting them to recover it. Hammer Bros. can only be counterattacked before receiving the [[Flee]] comman. Hammer Bros. are commonly encountered in the [[Twinsy Tropics Dungeon]], as well as stronger variants on the clouds above [[Sunbeam Plains]]. A Hammer Bro is also fought in [[Neo Bowser Castle]]. Hammer Bros. attack in battle by throwing hammers at the targeted player character, sometimes jumping while doing so; if not, the hammer is avoidable by jumping. After throwing hammers, the Hammer Bro charges at the target, and take damage if jumped on. A Hammer Bro sometimes attacks by throwing a hammer into the air with another of its kind or its introduced [[Paper Hammer Bro|paper counterpart]]; they sometimes swap hammers before throwing. If a Paper Hammer Bro helps, their hammer falls after the Hammer Bro's, unlike if two are present. The attack is countered by the targeted bro's hammer.

====''Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story + Bowser Jr.'s Journey''====
Hammer Bros. are enemies and recruitable allies in the ''[[Bowser Jr.'s Journey]]'' mode in ''[[Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story + Bowser Jr.'s Journey]]''. They are weak against [[Parabones]].

====''Mario & Luigi: Brothership''====
Hammer Bros. appear as enemies in ''[[Mario & Luigi: Brothership]]'', using voice clips for the first time in the ''Mario & Luigi'' series. One is first fought near the lighthouse on [[Skorcheen Island]] alongside a Fire Bro. and Ice Bro, and several appear in Bowser's Castle. In battle, Hammer Bros. attack by standing in front of a Mario Bro. and throwing hammers. If the Hammer Bro. jumps, the Mario Bro. must jump over the hammer, and if the Hammer Bro. does not jump, the hammer will bounce over the Mario Bro. who must not jump.

Hammer Bros. can team up with a Fire Bro. or an Ice Bro. and have each of them stand in front and behind of a Mario Bro. The Fire Bros.' and Ice Bros.' projectiles must be jumped over, whereas the Hammer Bros.' hammers bounce over the Mario Bro. Finally, a Hammer Bro. may throw a hammer high into the air which lands directly on a Mario Bro. a turn later. This attack must be countered with the hammer.

===''Dance Dance Revolution: Mario Mix''===
Two Hammer Brothers are enemies in ''[[Dance Dance Revolution: Mario Mix]]''. They block the entrance of [[Mushroom Park]] until the player wins in a dance-off against them.

===''Mario Baseball'' series===
[[File:HammerBro-Batting-MSS.png|thumb|A Hammer Bro prepares to bat in ''Mario Super Sluggers'']]
A Hammer Bro appears as a playable character in both games of the [[Mario Baseball (series)|''Mario Baseball'' series]]: ''[[Mario Superstar Baseball]]'' and ''[[Mario Super Sluggers]]''. Both games also feature a [[Fire Bro]] and a [[Boomerang Bro]] as playable character, though both of them are treated as palette swaps of Hammer Bro, and all three of them are teammates of [[Bowser]] in each game's Challenge mode. Hammer Bro uses a large hammer as his baseball bat. While Hammer Bro and Boomerang Bro use a hammer and boomerang respectively for batting, Fire Bro uses a standard bat with painted flames on it.

In ''Mario Superstar Baseball'', Hammer Bro can be unlocked by completing Challenge Mode as Bowser. Fire Bro and Boomerang Bro function as separate characters, but statistically are nearly identical to Hammer Bros. (barring Fire Bro's run speed, which is slightly lower than the other two). Boomerang Bro puts a noticeable curve on all his hits, much like Boo and King Boo.

In ''Mario Super Sluggers'', Hammer Bro, along with Boomerang Bro and Fire Bro, are now playable from the start, each exhibiting more varied stats than before. They have new fielding moves, during which they throw their weapon out a short distance and catch the ball. All of them use their standard voice introduced in ''[[Super Mario Strikers]]''.
{{br}}

===''Super Princess Peach''===
[[File:SPPHammerBro.png|frame|left]]
Hammer Bros. are enemies in ''[[Super Princess Peach]]''. They are led by [[Army Hammer Bro]], and kidnap [[Mario]] and the others at Peach's Castle in the opening. [[Amazing Flyin' Hammer Brother|A. F. H. Bro]]s. return, and both it and Hammer Bro received [[Calm Hammer Bro]] and [[C. A. F. H. Bro]] varieties, respectively.

===''Mario Strikers'' series===
====''Super Mario Strikers''====
Hammer Bros. are teammates in ''[[Super Mario Strikers]]''. They are billed offensive players, despite lacking distinction in gameplay.

====''Mario Strikers Charged''====
[[File:Hammer Bro Orange Yoshi MSC.jpg|thumb|left|x150px|Artwork from ''Mario Strikers Charged'']]
Hammer Bros. are teammates in ''[[Mario Strikers Charged]]''. They have hammers in a sling on their back. Hammer Bros. are billed offensive players, as before. Hammer Bros. have high shooting and passing capabilities, whilst lacking the ability to tackle and being slow. A Hammer Bro always uses a hammer when either shooting, tackling, hitting, faking, or using his [[Skillshot]], the [[Hammer Throw (Mario Strikers Charged)|Hammer Throw]]. Hammer Bro's [[Deke]] involves him smashing a giant hammer onto the ground, blasting away whoever is hit.

===''Mario Golf'' series===
Hammer Bros. appear only twice in the [[Mario Golf (series)|''Mario Golf'' series]], both times as non-playable characters. In ''[[Mario Golf: World Tour]]'', Hammer Bros. are featured in the [[Castle Club]] mode. In ''[[Mario Golf: Super Rush]]'', there are Hammer Bros. scattered around [[Bonny Greens]]'s practice area.

===''Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker''===
Hammer Bros. return in ''[[Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker]]'' and [[Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker (Nintendo Switch / Nintendo 3DS)|its ports]]. They are encountered in [[Drift-Along Canyon]], [[Battle Tower Blitz]] (one of them jumps between [[Goomba Tower]]s), and the port-exclusive [[Uptown, Downtown]]. If interacted with using a pointer/touch screen, Hammer Bros. jump to a new position immediately after being no longer stunned. A Hammer Bros. cannot be stunned while jumping. 

===''Mario Sports Superstars''===
Hammer Bro is a selectable sidekick in soccer and baseball in ''[[Mario Sports Superstars]]''. It is billed a Power type. [[Boomerang Bro]]s. are alternate colors in soccer and baseball while [[Fire Bro]]s. appear in baseball only.

===''Minecraft''===
In the Super Mario Mash-up for ''[[Minecraft]]'', Hammer Bros. replace {{iw|minecraftwiki|Zombie}}s, and Hammer Bros. in {{iw|minecraftwiki|Villager}}'s clothing replace the {{iw|minecraftwiki|Zombie Villager}}s. Hammer Bro is one of the usable {{iw|minecraftwiki|skin}}s.

===''Mario Tennis Aces''===
Hammer Bros. are opponents in ''[[Mario Tennis Aces]]''. They are encountered during the missions [[Sure Shot Challenge (Advanced)]] and [[Defeat Bowser's Minions!]] of [[Inferno Island]]; in the former, a Hammer Bro helps two [[Fire Bro]]s. with pitching, and in the latter, ten throw hammers at the player character as they deflect them, defeating the Hammer Bros. and causing Fire Bros. to appear afterward. Hammer Bros. are members of the audience, with some wearing caps and shirts for the participating characters.

===''Dr. Mario World''===
Hammer Bros. are assistants in ''[[Dr. Mario World]]''. Their stage mode skill increases the float time of floating objects such as [[capsule]]s, [[bubble]]s, and [[key]]s by a multiplier. Their versus mode skill grants a chance that a column is cleared in the player's stage when their opponent uses a skill.

===''The Super Mario Bros. Movie''===
Hammer Bros. appear in ''[[The Super Mario Bros. Movie]]'' as a part of [[Bowser]]'s army.

==General information==
===Physical description and traits===
{{multiframe|[[File:SMBDX - Hammer Bro (alt).png|120px]][[File:Hammer-Bro-2D.svg|120px]]|align=left|size=240|Early and modern Hammer Bros.; the main difference is them originally lacking shoes.}}
Hammer Bros. are yellow Koopas with green shells, cream-colored belly plates, and, since ''[[Mario Party]]'', green shoes (although they sometimes are barefoot), as well as green and white helmets (though the colors change depending on the variant). They look like Koopa Troopas, but have a taller stature, smaller blue eyes and a lighter-colored muzzle. Hammer Bros. are notably always armed with black or gray hammers tied to wooden handles with rope. In ''Super Mario Bros. 3'', Hammer Bros. wear black shells and helmets, while their hammers are slightly less detailed. In ''Super Smash Bros. Brawl'', Hammer Bros. are given a more realistic appearance than their ''Super Mario'' depiction, having a monotone appearance, as well as highly detailed hammers and helmets. In ''Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS'' / ''Wii U'' and ''Super Smash Bros. Ultimate'', however, Hammer Bros. have a vibrant, cartoonish appearance with less detailed hammers and helmets; in the latter, their helmets and shoes have a lighter green color. In the [[DIC Entertainment]] ''[[Super Mario (franchise)|Super Mario]]'' cartoons, Hammer Bros. have drastically altered appearances, due to appearing with much darker skin tones, smaller body proportions, gray goggles, and shinier hammers.

In the first three ''Paper Mario'' games, Hammer Bros. are given an altered design, which has them wear blue helmets instead of their standard green ones and have more rotund body proportions resembling those of Koopa Troopas. In ''Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door'', Hammer Bros. are given red shoes and spiked armbands, which reappear in ''Super Paper Mario''. From ''Paper Mario: Sticker Star'' onward, however, Hammer Bros. use their current-era design instead, while appearing with a paper outline.

===Powers and abilities===
Hammer Bros. possess superior agility, due to jumping as high as [[Mario]] (if not as high as [[Luigi]]) and quickly traversing small areas from hopping. Hammer Bros. hop very frequently, to the point where they hop while idling. In the way of weaponry, Hammer Bros. use black or gray construction hammers, though ''Super Mario RPG: Legend Of The Seven Stars'' and the ''Paper Mario'' games depict them with wooden mallets instead. In most games, Hammer Bros. throw their hammers at lower angles and farther distances, or higher angles at closer distances. The former games have Hammer Bros. smack their adversaries with their mallets as a melee attack; exclusively to the ''Paper Mario'' series, Hammer Bros. throw a barrage of smaller, weaker hammers, or a hammer with magical abilities like shrinking. Hammer Bros.' [[Skillshot|Skill Shot]] in ''Mario Strikers Charged'' has them attack the opposing team with a giant hammer, to daze them.

===Speech===
In most older ''Super Mario'' games, Hammer Bros. are completely silent due to technical limitations. Most of the ''Super Mario'' RPGs and spin-offs give Hammer Bros. in-game text so others can understand what they are saying; in ''Super Mario RPG'', Hammer Bros. appear to speak with Brooklyn accents, often saying "ya" instead of "you." In the DIC ''Super Mario'' cartoons, Hammer Bros. were given intelligible voice acting with [[Wikipedia:New York accent|Brooklyn]] accents. Hammer Bros. also speak intelligibly in various ''Super Mario'' comics, as well as ''[[Super Mario-kun]]''. In contemporary ''Super Mario'' games, Hammer Bros. (and their variants) are portrayed by [[Motoki Takagi]], who provided them with grunts, yells, and even a few lines such as "Let's go." While they generally have a high-pitched voice, they have a deeper voice in ''[[Super Mario Galaxy 2]]''.

-Hammer Bros. appear in ''[[Super Mario Galaxy 2]]''. They and Boomerang Bros. are only encountered in worlds' final stages. Hammer Bros. attack by throwing two hammers aimed at the player character, before leaping elsewhere and repeating. A Hammer Bro is spun out temporarily on its shell if the player character either [[spin]]s at or stomps it, giving an opportunity to defeat it on contact; a Hammer Bro can also be defeated from a [[Ground Pound]] or if Yoshi spits one of its hammers at it. Boomerang Bros. also return.
