Template:Species-infobox Sledge Bros., or Elite Hammer Bros. (often incorrectly referred to as a Sumo Bro.) are large overweight versions of Hammer Bros. that throw sledge hammers instead of regular ones.

History

Super Mario series

New Super Mario Bros. 2

Sledge Bros. first appear in New Super Mario Bros. 2, acting just like they did in past games. However, only one exists in the main game, appearing in World 2-2. They also appear as common enemies in the third course of the Coin Challenge Pack A in Coin Rush. Several later appear in the first course for the Mystery Adventures Pack. While the effects of a Gold Ring are active, Sledge Bros. are unaffected physically, but still give coins when defeated.

Sledge Bros. are once again mistakenly referred to as Sumo Bros. in this game for unknown reasons.

New Super Mario Bros. U

Sledge Bros. make a return in New Super Mario Bros. U, appearing only in the level, Ludwig's Clockwork Castle, which is found at Meringue Clouds. Only three are seen in the game, and unlike in the previous installments, where the Sledge Bros. are erroneously referred to as Sumo Bros., they're called by their correct name in this game.

Trivia

  • In their original artwork for Super Mario Bros. 3, a Sledge Bro. has snot displayed flowing out of its nose. The in-game sprites also show this, though it is hardly visible. Their Super Mario Advance 4 sprites keep this as well, though the snot characteristic wasn't reused for the Sledge Bro. again.
  • An ordinary Hammer Bro. in Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga resembles a Sledge Bro.
