Amazing Flyin' Hammer Brother

An Amazing Flyin' Hammer Bro. is a special variety of Hammer Bro. found in Super Mario World and its remakes. An Amazing Flyin' Hammer Bro. hovers around on a platform composed of two gray Rotating Blocks with a wing on each side that swings back and forth. This enemy tosses hammers from his helicopter-like tool, attempting to attack Mario. He can be defeated by hitting him from below, from the side with a projectile attack, or on top.

When the Amazing Flyin' Hammer Bro. is defeated, the flying platform remains and continues on its original flight path, allowing for an extra platform on which to stand; however, if the platform's rider is defeated before the platform itself begins to move, it will not have a set path and instead stays in place. In the game's credits, an Amazing Flyin' Hammer Bro. appears, yet the gray Turn Blocks are replaced with gray Blocks.

One Amazing Flyin' Hammer Bro. appears in the Nintendo Adventure Book Dinosaur Dilemma, capturing the remaining dinosaurs in Dinosaur Island while they, Mario and Yoshi are looking for food near Lake Trilobite. The Amazing Flyin' Hammer Bro. threatens to capture Yoshi as well, but is scared off by Mario.

Amazing Flyin' Hammer Bros. make a reappearance in Super Princess Peach, with a new "Calm" version that sleeps. This variation is called a Calm Amazing Flyin' Hammer Bro. Amazing Flyin' Hammer Bros., shortened to A. F. H. Bro. in the game's enemy glossary, have Koopa-like skin.

An Amazing Flyin' Hammer Bro. makes a cameo in the Nintendo Monopoly.
