Hammer Brothers were one of the many recurring ''Super Mario'' enemies introduced in ''[[Super Mario Bros.]]'' More often than not, they are encountered in pairs, hindering the player's progress by tossing claw hammers and jumping up and down one or two rows of [[Brick Block]]s and the ground. | Hammer Brothers were one of the many recurring ''Super Mario'' enemies introduced in ''[[Super Mario Bros.]]'' More often than not, they are encountered in pairs, hindering the player's progress by tossing claw hammers and jumping up and down one or two rows of [[Brick Block]]s and the ground. The player can defeat them by any means of attack ([[jump]]s, hitting the block they are standing on from below, [[fireball]]s, or contact with players made invincible by a [[Super Star|Starman]]), or avoid them by simply running past them while they are mid-jump. If a Hammer Brother is onscreen for a certain amount of time without being defeated, it starts to chase after the player. | ||
A total of 20 Hammer Brothers appear in the game: a pair in [[World 3-1 (Super Mario Bros.)|World 3-1]], two pairs in [[World 5-2 (Super Mario Bros.)|World 5-2]], two pairs in [[World 7-1 (Super Mario Bros.)|World 7-1]], one in [[World 7-4 (Super Mario Bros.)|World 7-4]] | A total of 20 Hammer Brothers appear in the game: a pair in [[World 3-1 (Super Mario Bros.)|World 3-1]], two pairs in [[World 5-2 (Super Mario Bros.)|World 5-2]], two pairs in [[World 7-1 (Super Mario Bros.)|World 7-1]], one in [[World 7-4 (Super Mario Bros.)|World 7-4]] disguised as a [[fake Bowser]], eight in [[World 8-3 (Super Mario Bros.)|World 8-3]], and one in [[World 8-4 (Super Mario Bros.)|World 8-4]] before the true [[Bowser]]. | ||
In the ''[[Super Mario All-Stars|All-Stars]]'' version of the game, their hammers make a whistling sound whenever they are thrown, are slightly slower, and fly on a larger curve compared to the original, making them easier for the plumbers to pass through. In all versions of ''Super Mario Bros.'', regardless of what direction the Hammer Brothers face and attack, their hammers would always have the claw side face left, and the hammers would always rotate counterclockwise. | In the ''[[Super Mario All-Stars|All-Stars]]'' version of the game, their hammers make a whistling sound whenever they are thrown, are slightly slower, and fly on a larger curve compared to the original, making them easier for the plumbers to pass through.

Hammer Brothers | Hammer Brothers act the same in ''[[Super Mario Bros. 3]]'', though they hurl mallets as opposed to the claw hammers they wielded in previous appearances (a mere aesthetic difference), and they no longer chase after the player after some time. In this game, three new species of Hammer Brothers appear: [[Boomerang Bro]]thers, semi-common green (light blue in artillery levels in the original version) variants the throw boomerangs that can return to them; [[Fire Bro]]thers, rare, red-skinned variants which spit bouncing fireballs like those of [[Fire Mario]]; and [[Sledge Bro]]thers, huge versions of the standard Hammer Brothers that can immobilize the player by causing earthquakes whenever they land after a jump. Unlike Hammer Brothers, however, none of these new variants are capable of jumping between rows of [[Brick Blocks|bricks]] and the ground, a skill that remained unique to the main species in most (but not all) of their future appearances. | ||

A total of 19 Hammer Brothers appear in the game, though they are never seen in any actual level except for the first [[World 8-Hand Traps|Hand Trap]] (which features all Hammer Brother species). Instead, they and their variants [[Enemy Course|patrol]] the map screen of every world except [[Pipe Land]] and [[Dark Land]] (which instead have Piranha Plant and Hand-Trap levels, respectively, that serve a similar purpose); touching one there results in a battle with them. Upon defeat, they leave behind a treasure chest that yields an item. Hammer Brothers are encountered in the following worlds and can reward one of the following items: | A total of 19 Hammer Brothers appear in the game, though they are never seen in any actual level except for the first [[World 8-Hand Traps|Hand Trap]] (which features all Hammer Brother species).
