“Hey you! How about lending me your clothes? No dice!? What a drag!” —Kings, Super Mario Bros. 3 Hammer Suit Description A Hammer Bro-like suit. First appearance Super Mario Bros. 3 (1988) Latest appearance Super Mario Maker for Nintendo 3DS (cameo) (2016) Effect on player Turns Mario or Luigi into Hammer Mario / Hammer Luigi. Mario in the Hammer Suit The Hammer Suit (alternatively Hammer Bros. Suit, Hammer Brothers Suit, or Hammer Brother Suit) is an item found in Super Mario Bros. 3. This item transforms Mario or Luigi into Hammer Mario or Hammer Luigi, which gives him the ability to throw hammers. He also gains a fireball-proof shell when ducking, but loses his ability to slide down hills. If Mario or Luigi ducks, he resembles a Buzzy Beetle. Hammers defeat almost everything, including Bowser, but like all the suits, one hit from an enemy causes Mario to lose the power. Super Mario Advance 4: Super Mario Bros. 3 adds a new utility to this suit: its hammers can break Gray Brick Blocks. In the original Super Mario Bros. 3, retrieving a Hammer Suit will make Mario and Luigi's skin turn a darker, yellowish tone, while no other power-ups in the game do so. It is unknown what purpose this skin color change has, but it is possible that Nintendo placed the odd effect in to make the textures of Mario and Luigi's skin bear more resemblance to that of the Koopa Troopas and Hammer Brothers themselves. In remakes, Mario and Luigi's skin color stay the same when they wear the suit. Additionally, in Super Mario Maker, knocking on a Warp Door in the Super Mario Bros. 3 theme in Edit Mode may cause Weird Mario to appear in a Hammer Suit.
