This item transforms [[Mario]] or [[Luigi]] into [[Hammer Mario|Hammer Mario or Hammer Luigi]], which gives them the ability to throw [[hammer]]s, like the [[Hammer Bro]]s.

Hammers thrown by Hammer Mario or Hammer Luigi can defeat almost everything, including [[Bowser]], but as with other power-ups, one hit from an enemy causes them to lose their power. They also gain a fireball-proof shell when ducking (like [[Buzzy Beetle]]s, which they resemble), but cannot [[slide|slide down hills]]. ''[[Super Mario Advance 4: Super Mario Bros. 3]]'' adds a new utility to this suit: its hammers can break [[Gray Brick Block]]s.

In the original ''Super Mario Bros. 3'', retrieving a Hammer Suit will make Mario and Luigi's skin turn a darker, yellowish tone which resembles the appearance of Hammer Bros in this game, while no other power-ups in the game do so. On the map screen, in official artwork, and in remakes, Mario and Luigi's skin colors stay the same when they wear the suit.
