Amazing Flyin' Hammer Brother



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

An Amazing Flyin' Hammer Bro. hovers around on a platform composed of two gray Turn 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 or from the side with a projectile attack. It looked almost nothing like a Hammer Bro., in fact looking more like a human than a Hammer Bro.

When the Amazing Flyin' 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 was called a Calm Amazing Flyin' Hammer Bro. Amazing Flyin' Hammer Brother, who was shortened to A.F.H.Bro., had Koopa-like skin, and could now be stomped.
