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. The characters also gain a fireball-proof shell when ducking, but lose their ability to [[slide|slide down hills]]. If Mario or Luigi ducks while in the Hammer Suit, they resemble a [[Buzzy Beetle]].


In the original ''Super Mario Bros. 3'', retrieving a Hammer Suit will make Mario and Luigi's skin turn a darker, yellowish tone, while no other power-ups in the game do so. 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 Troopa]]s and Hammer Brothers themselves. On the map screen and in remakes, Mario and Luigi's skin colors stay the same when they wear the suit.

Koopa|Kootie Pie]] back home before she can take over [[United States of America|America]], and before Koopa can use the beam to attack other countries as well. They attempt to use them to trick a group of Sledge Brothers into thinking they are one of them, but the disguises fail.

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.
