This form is not to be confused with Mario or Luigi wielding a hammer, with the difference being the infinite disposable supply of hammers and the black shell armor.
==History==
===''Super Mario'' series===
====''Super Mario Bros. 3'' / ''Super Mario Advance 4: Super Mario Bros. 3''====
In this form, Mario and Luigi resemble a [[Hammer Bro]]ther and, like one, are able to throw an infinite supply of [[hammer]]s in a short upward arc (which can be lengthened or shortened with the {{button|nes|Pad}}). Hammers can defeat most enemies, even those that cannot be defeated with [[fireball]]s, such as the [[Angry Sun]], [[Buzzy Beetle]]s, [[Boo]]s, [[Bullet Bill]]s, [[Chain Chomp]]s, [[Dry Bones]], [[Fire Snake|Firesnake]]s, [[Hot Foot]]s, [[Lava Bubble|Podoboo]]s, [[Para-Beetle]]s, [[Stretch]]es, and [[Thwomp]]s; they can also defeat [[Boom Boom]] and [[Bowser]]. As such, this form can be considered a stronger version of the [[Fire Mario|Fire form]]. They cannot defeat [[Roto-Disc]]s, [[Jelectro]]s, [[Muncher]]s, or the [[Koopalings]], however. As with fireballs, only two hammers can be thrown at a time, but hammers can fly through ceilings, walls, and floors. Mario and Luigi can also block enemies' fireballs in this form by crouching, but they cannot [[slide]] down slopes. However, they can slide down a slope if they get a Hammer Suit while already sliding, though only in [[World 6-10]]'s bonus room.

Despite the official artwork depicting Hammer Mario with his normal complexion and outfit colors underneath, his [[Family Computer]] and [[Nintendo Entertainment System]] sprite depicts him with tan skin in levels, a white shirt, white shoes, and black overalls; his skin color is normal on the world map, in [[castle]]s after saving one of the [[kings]], and in the ending roll. His 16-bit sprites depict him with a brown shirt and gray overalls.

''Super Mario Advance 4'' adds a new utility to this form: its hammers can break [[Rock Block]]s.

====''Super Mario Maker'' / ''Super Mario Maker for Nintendo 3DS'' / ''Super Mario Maker 2''====
In ''[[Super Mario Maker]]'', its [[Super Mario Maker for Nintendo 3DS|Nintendo 3DS version]], and ''[[Super Mario Maker 2]]'', knocking on a [[Warp Door]] in the ''Super Mario Bros. 3'' theme may cause [[Weird Mushroom (item)|Weird Mario]] to appear in this form. In the latter game, [[Builder Mario]]'s hammer swing can break Hard Blocks (similar to the Rock Blocks in ''Super Mario Advance 4'') and defeat most usually unbeatable foes, like this form.

===''WarioWare: Twisted!''===
Hammer Mario appears in the second [[Super Mario Bros. 3 (power-up microgame)|Super Mario Bros. 3]] microgame from ''[[WarioWare: Twisted!]]'', where it is one of the power-up forms that can be selected.

==Trivia==
[[File:ReptilesintheRoseGarden6.jpg|thumb|200px|Mario and Luigi disguised as Sledge Brothers]]
*In the ''[[The Adventures of Super Mario Bros. 3]]'' episode "[[Reptiles in the Rose Garden]]", Mario and Luigi wear [[Sledge Bro]]ther disguises that make them resemble the Hammer form, in an attempt to hijack the [[Airship|Doom Ship]], but the disguises do not trick the Sledge Brothers piloting the ship.
*In ''[[Super Mario Odyssey]]'', Mario can throw hammers to attack similarly to the Hammer form when he [[capture]]s a Hammer Bro.
*This is the only form from ''Super Mario Bros. 3'' that has yet to reappear in a later ''Super Mario'' game (barring reissues).
