Hammer Bro Orb

The Hammer Bro Orb is an orb in the Mario Party series. It starts as the Hammer Bro Capsule in Mario Party 5, where it can be thrown onto a space on the board. Whoever lands on a space holding the Hammer Bro Capsule makes a Hammer Bro appear and throw two hammers at them, making them lose ten coins. In Story Mode, Hammer Bro steals five coins instead. The player can also use the Hammer Bro Capsule on themselves, costing five coins to do so for little strategic benefit. After the effect of the Capsule is performed on the player, the total cost the player must pay is fifteen coins in Party Mode or ten coins in Story Mode. In Mario Party 7, it is renamed the Hammer Bro Orb. Opponents that land on a space containing the orb also lose ten coins to the Hammer Bro; however, unlike in Mario Party 5, the coins are given to the player that placed the Orb. In Mario Party 6, it was briefly replaced by the Spiny Orb.
