They are deadly long-distance attackers, hurling hammers non-stop at their enemies. However, they are also vulnerable to attack in close range. Hammer Bros. also rarely attack solo and are usually backed up by a nearby "bro". It is certain if any of them are actually biologically related, or if it is just a title. They seem to have inspired similar-looking Koopas with "Bro" in their names, such as the [[Boomerang Bros]]. and the [[Fire Bros.]]. |

They originally appeared in ''[[Super Mario Bros.]]'' and ''[[Super Mario Bros.: The Lost Levels]]''. In ''[[Super Mario Bros. 3]]'', Hammer Bros. are found wandering in the overworld map in each world. Whenever [[Mario]] or [[Luigi]] comes to one, he will engage one or two Hammer Bros. (or a different type of Bro, depending on the world) in a short quazi-boss battle. After the Hammer Bros. are defeated, the winner would get a new item. It was possible to skip the fights entirely by putting all the Bros. to sleep with a Music Box. The [[Hammer Bros. Suit]] appeared as an item in the same game. | They originally appeared in ''[[Super Mario Bros.]]'' and ''[[Super Mario Bros.: The Lost Levels]]''.
