Hamma, Bamma, and Flare

“My grandpappy's hammer is gonna strike you down, man! Here it comes!”

—Hamma Jamma, Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door

The trio, Hamma, Bamma, and Flare

Hamma, Bamma, and Flare (a.k.a the Big Bad Brute Bros.), is a team fought by Mario in the Glitz Pit in Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door. This group is made up of three fighters: a Hammer Bro, a Boomerang Bro, and a Fire Bro. The Hammer Bro, known as Hamma Jamma, is the only member encountered outside of the ring. Bamma and Flare are the only members of their respective species to appear in the game. Before Mario defeats them, they rank third overall.

Tattle Log #: 24	Log	Well - known for their vicious and relentless hammer jobs, Hammer Bros. have a reputation as one of Mario's toughest enemies...
	Tattle	That's a Hammer Bro. You know him. He throws hammers. Hence the name. Max HP is 7, Attack is 4, and Defense is 1. When his HP drops and he thinks he's in trouble, he'll toss a hammer barrage.

Trivia

• Bamma is the name of an unseen character mentioned on a score-chart in Mario Golf: Toadstool Tour; however, it is unlikely to be the same character, as Mario Golf: Toadstool Tour came out almost a year prior to Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door's release.
