Hammer Bros. are Koopas that stand upright and throw hammers at passer-bys. They have been around since Super Mario Bros..
In Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars, Hammer Bros. were made completely different. Like their predecessors, these Hammer Bros. had yellow skin. However, instead of green shells with green armor, SMRPG Hammer Bros. had black shells with black armor. They are also significantly larger than a normal Hammer Bro. (but presumably not larger than a Sledge Bro.). Additionally, these Hammer Bros. speak fondly of their hammers, as if their wooden weapons were sentient, living beings. (Interestingly enough, Smithy’s minions are, in fact, sentient, living weapons.) There are only two Hammer Bros. in the game (excluding Dr. Topper).
During the events of Super Mario RPG, the Hammer Bros. were the leaders of the Koopa Troop’s forces in Mushroom Way. They were ordered to capture any intruders, which they did when the fungus Toad tried to pass through Mushroom Way to the Mushroom Kingdom. However, Mario showed up to rescue his friend. As a result, a battle erupted between the hero of the Mushroom Kingdom and the two Hammer Bros. During the battle, the Hammer Bros. pounded Mario with their hammers, and even threw multiple hammers at the plumber. When Mario defeated one of the brothers, the remaining brother used the move Valor Up to increase his defense. However, even though his defense was boosted, the second Hammer Bro. was defeated by Mario. After the fight, Toad was freed, Mario earned a Flower Jar, and the hero even picked up his defeated enemy’s Hammer to use in battle.

Paper Mario Stats
HP: 12, Attack: 5, Defense: 1
Tattle: These are the Hammer Bros. You've seen these punks before, haven't you? Be careful of that hammer! If it hits you, you'll get shrunk in a wink. When the Hammer Bros. get desperate, they'll hurl a ton of hammers, so watch it. These guys have been a pain for ages, so let's give 'em an old-fashioned whopping. As always, they're not to be underestimated.
Paper Mario 2 Stats
Boomerang Brother
HP: 7, Attack: 2, Defense: 1
Tattle: That's a Boomerang Bro. This relative of the Hammer Bros. prefers boomerangs. Max HP is 7, Attack is 2, and Defense is 1. He attacks twice with his boomerangs: on the way out AND on the way back. When his HP starts getting low, he fights all the harder. Prepare for multiple attacks!
Fire Brother
HP: 7, Attack: 3, Defense: 1
That's a Fire Bro. This relative of the Hammer Bros. spits out fire. If you get hit by a fireball, you might catch on fire, so guard well, OK? When his HP gets low, he gets desperate and totally starts attacking like a fiend.
Hammer Brother
HP: 7, Attack: 4, Defense: 1
That's a Hammer Bro. You know him. He throws hammers. Hence the name. When his HP drops and he thinks he's in trouble, he'll toss a hammer barrage. Nothing about these guys has changed: they're tough as ever, so brace yourself! Dang! This book always skips the important stuff! How do they carry endless hammers!
