The '''Hammer Suit''' (also referred to as '''Sledge Bros.' Suit''') is an item found in ''[[Super Mario Bros. 3]]''. This item transforms [[Mario]] or [[Luigi]] into [[Hammer Mario]], which gives him the ability to throw [[Hammer]]s. He also gains a fireproof shell when ducking, but loses his ability to slide down hills.


Hammers are an excellent weapon at defeating just about everything, including [[Bowser]]. But like all the suits, just one hit from an enemy will cause Mario to lose this costume.
In the original ''Super Mario Bros. 3'', retrieving a Hammer Suit will make Mario and Luigi's skin turn a darker, yellowish tone which resembles the appearance of Hammer Brothers in this game, while no other power-ups in the game do so. On the map screen, in [[castle]]s after saving one of the [[kings]], in the ending roll, in official artwork, and in other versions, Mario and Luigi's skin colors stay the same when they wear the suit.

The suit never made an appearance in ''[[The Adventures of Super Mario Bros. 3]]''. However, Mario and Luigi do similarly disguise themselves as [[Sledge Bro.|Sledge Bros.]] in the episode "[[Reptiles in the Rose Garden]]", although they gain no special abilities by doing so, and their costumes fool no one.

*In non-remake versions of ''Super Mario Bros. 3'', retrieving a Hammer Suit will make Mario and Luigi's skin turn a darker, yellowish tone, a feat that no other power-ups perform. It is unknown what purpose this skin color change has, but it is possible that [[Nintendo]] placed the odd effect in to make the textures of Mario and Luigi's skin bear more resemblance to that of the [[Koopa]]s and Hammer Brothers themselves. As aforementioned, Mario and Luigi's skin color stays the same when they wear the suit in remakes.
*The Hammer Suit (as well as Hammer Mario) is not mentioned in the original version's or the ''[[Super Mario All-Stars]]'' version's instruction booklet, nor is it in the [[Virtual Console]] re-release's Operations Guide, based on the two aforementioned manuals.

The Hammer Suit[1][2] (alternatively Hammer Bros. Suit,[3][4] Hammer Brothers Suit,[5] or Hammer Brother Suit[6]) is an item in Super Mario Bros. 3 and its remakes. It transforms Mario or Luigi into their Hammer transformation, giving him the ability to throw hammers, like the Hammer Brothers. Hammers thrown by Hammer Mario or Hammer Luigi can defeat almost everything, including Bowser, but as with other power-ups, one hit from an enemy causes them to lose their power. They also gain a fireball-proof shell when ducking (like Buzzy Beetles, which they resemble), but cannot slide down hills. Super Mario Advance 4: Super Mario Bros. 3 adds a new utility to this suit: its hammers can break Rock Blocks.

In the original Super Mario Bros. 3, retrieving a Hammer Suit will make Mario and Luigi's skin turn a darker, yellowish tone which resembles the appearance of Hammer Brothers in this game, while no other power-ups in the game do so. On the map screen, in castles after saving one of the kings, in the ending roll, in official artwork, and in other versions, Mario and Luigi's skin colors stay the same when they wear the suit.
