The Hammer Suit is a power-up that was featured in Super Mario Bros. 3.
Information[edit]
The Hammer Suit is the suit worn by the Hammer Bros., which consists of a black Koopa shell matched with a shell-like helmet. When Mario or Luigi gain the suit, it can give them the ability to throw infinite amounts of hammers. These hammers are the most powerful weapons in the game and can take down any enemies, including enemies such as Boos, which cannot be beaten through any other means. The suit also shields the wearer from fire when he is ducking, which is likely due to the durability of the shell armor. The only drawback is that Mario and Luigi can no longer slide down hills.
Trivia[edit]
- If Mario or Luigi defeats a Koopaling with the Hammer Suit, the king will be compliment the suit and ask to borrow it.
- In the original version of game, the suit also changes Mario and Luigi's skin tones, possibly to make them look closer to the Koopas.
- It is considered to be somewhat of a secret power-up within Super Mario Bros. 3 and so is not mentioned with the other power-ups in the instruction manuals for most versions of the game.
