Hammer-Bot
Hammer-bots[1] are enemies commonly found in Wario Land 3.
The Hammer-bot is a blue, cylindrical robot that rides on continuous tracks. If Wario gets near, it starts swinging its hammers. If it lands a hit on Wario, he turns into a spring, which allows him to reach greater heights than he would with normal jumping. The Hammer-Bot is considered a large enemy, roughly the size of Wario himself. They can be destroyed in one hit with an upgraded pair of overalls, an upgraded pair of gloves or a powered-up shoulder charge. Otherwise, it takes two hits to knock them off-screen.
In Dr. Mario 64, the Hammer-bot is one of the villains that is encountered throughout Mario and Wario's journey to retrieve the Megavitamins from Mad Scienstein. This is the first and only game where the Hammer-bot is playable, excluding the port in Nintendo Puzzle Collection.
Hammer-bots are similar in appearance to Spear-bots and their relatives.
