In this game, three new species of Hammer Brothers appear: [[Boomerang Bro]]thers, semi-common green-skinned (light blue in artillery levels in the original version) variants the throw boomerangs that can return to them; [[Fire Bro]]thers, rare, red-skinned variants which spit bouncing fireballs like those of [[Fire Mario]]; and [[Sledge Bro]]thers, huge, green-skinned versions of standard Hammer Brothers that can immobilize the player by causing earthquakes whenever they land after a jump. Unlike Hammer Brothers, however, none of these new variants are capable of jumping between rows of [[Brick Blocks|bricks]] and the ground, a skill that remained unique to the main species in most (but not all) of their future appearances. | In this game, three new species of Hammer Brothers appear: [[Boomerang Bro]]thers, semi-common green-skinned (light blue in artillery levels in the original version) variants the throw boomerangs that can return to them; [[Fire Bro]]thers, rare, red-skinned variants which spit bouncing fireballs like those of [[Fire Mario]]; and [[Sledge Bro]]thers, huge, green-skinned versions of standard Hammer Brothers that can immobilize the player by causing earthquakes whenever they land after a jump.

A total of 19 Hammer Brothers appear in the game, though they are never seen in any actual level except for the first [[World 8-Hand Traps|Hand Trap]] (which features all Hammer Brother species). Instead, they and their variants [[Enemy Course|patrol]] the map screen of every world except [[Pipe Land]] and [[Dark Land]] (which instead have Piranha Plant and Hand-Trap levels, respectively, that serve a similar purpose); touching one there results in a battle with them. Upon defeat, they leave behind a treasure chest that yields an item.

The game also introduces a power-up, the [[Hammer Suit]]. This power-up gives Mario or Luigi the ability to throw hammers like a Hammer Brother, taking out stronger enemies like [[Boo]]s, [[Dry Bones]], and even [[Thwomp]]s. They are also invulnerable to fireballs while crouching. | The game also introduces a power-up, the [[Hammer Suit]].
