'''Hammer-Bots''', originally parsed as '''Hammer-bots''',<ref>''Wario Land 3'' English instruction booklet, pg. 26.</ref> are enemies commonly found in ''[[Wario Land 3]]''. They are functionally similar to the [[Pogo Guy]]s from ''[[Wario Land II]]''. A Hammer-Bot also appears in ''[[Dr. Mario 64]]''. The Hammer-Bot is a blue, cylindrical robot that runs on continuous tracks, and has hammers for arms.
==History==
===''Wario Land 3''===
[[File:Hammerbot.PNG|left|frame]]
In ''Wario Land 3'', a Hammer-bot moves back and forth on a platform. if [[Wario]] is in a Hammer-bot's line of sight, it moves faster and starts swinging its [[hammer]]s until it reaches a wall or the edge of a platform. If it lands a hit on Wario, he turns into [[Bouncy Wario]], which allows him to reach greater heights than he would with normal jumping. The Hammer-bot is considered a large enemy, roughly the size of Wario himself. As large enemies, they are more durable than the smaller enemies in this game if Wario is not powered-up when attacking them, but can easily be defeated if he uses a powered-up attack. Hammer-bots are immune to the earthquakes induced from Wario's powered-up [[Ground Pound|smash attack]], where they won't be stunned, but instead, they stop in their tracks to move in the other direction.
 
Hammer-bots appear in the following levels, in the following quantities:
*[[The Peaceful Village]] (1)
*[[The Tidal Coast]] (4)
*[[Desert Ruins]] (7)
*[[Beneath the Waves]] (1)
*[[The West Crater]] (2)
*[[The Grasslands]] (1)
*[[Cave of Flames]] (2)
*[[Castle of Illusions]] (2)
*[[The Warped Void]] (1)
*[[Forest of Fear]] (1)

In the game's ending, a Hammer-bot is seen turning into a construction worker, having been cursed by [[Rudy|a hidden figure]].
===''Dr. Mario 64''===
[[File:Hammer-Bot DM64 icon.png|left|frame]]
In ''Dr. Mario 64'', the Hammer-Bot is one of the opponents that is encountered throughout [[Dr. Mario]] and Wario's journey to retrieve the [[Capsule#Dr. Mario 64|Megavitamin]]s from [[Mad Scienstein]]. After [[Spearhead (enemy)|Spearhead]] and [[Webber]] reported about Mad Scienstein being pursued by Dr. Mario and Wario for the Megavitamins, Rudy is confident that Hammer-Bot is able to stop them. As both Dr. Mario and Wario approach Rudy's castle, a Hammer-Bot stands in their way with Mad Scienstein behind the robot. This results in a battle between the chosen character and Hammer-Bot for Easy mode, or a four-way battle between Dr. Mario, Wario, Mad Scienstein, and Hammer-Bot in either story for other difficulties. Once all other opponents, including Hammer-Bot, are beaten by the player, Mad Scienstein runs off to Rudy's castle with Wario in pursuit (and Dr. Mario if he is the chosen character), leaving the broken Hammer-Bot behind. Hammer-Bot is also playable in the game's Vs. modes, where its AI difficulty is in the middle, alongside [[Helio (Wario Land 3)|Helio]] and [[Lump]]; this is the only game where the Hammer-Bot is playable, excluding the port in ''[[Nintendo Puzzle Collection]]''.
