Amazing Flyin' Hammer Brother



An Amazing Flyin' Hammer Brother is a type of Hammer Bro. found in Super Mario World.

An Amazing Flyin' Hammer Bro. flies around on a platform composed of two blocks with a wing on each side. This enemy tosses hammers from his helicopter-like tool, attempting to attack Mario. He can be defeated by hitting him from below or from the side with a projectile attack.

When the Amazing Flying Hammer Bro was defeated, the flying platform would remain and continue on its original flight path, allowing for an extra platform on which to stand; however, if the platform's rider was defeated before the platform itself began to move, it would not have a set path and would instead stay in place.

Amazing Flyin' Hammer Brother made a reappearance in Super Princess Peach, with a new "Calm" version that sleeps. This variation is called a Calm Amazing Flying Hammer Brother.
