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 [[Rock Block]]s.
The '''Hammer Suit''' (also referred to as '''Sledge Bros.' Suit''') is an item found in ''[[Super Mario Bros. 3]]''. This item transforms [[Mario]] or [[Luigi]] in [[Hammer Mario]] which gives him the ability to throw [[Hammer Bro.|Hammer Bros.]] [[Hammer]]s. They also gain a fire-proof shell when ducking just like [[Buzzy Beetles]], but taking away his ability to slide down hills.


Hammers are an excellent weapon at defeating just about everything, including [[Bowser]]. But like all the suits, just one hit from an enemy will cause Mario to lose this costume.
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 other versions, Mario and Luigi's skin colors stay the same when they wear the suit.

The suit never made an appearance on ''[[The Adventures of Super Mario Bros. 3]]'', the television adaption of ''Super Mario Bros. 3''. However, Mario and Luigi do similarly disguise themselves as [[Sledge Bro.|Sledge Bros.]] in the episode "[[Reptiles in the Rose Garden]]", although they gain no special abilities by doing so, and their costumes fool no one.

==Trivia==
*The Hammer Suit (as well as Hammer Mario) is not mentioned in the original [[Nintendo Entertainment System|NES]] or ''[[Super Mario All-Stars|All-Stars]]'' versions' instruction booklets. The [[Virtual Console]] re-release's Operations Guide, which is based on them, also has no reference to it. In the original game, it is something of a "secret" powerup, as it only shows up in hidden areas and randomly from [[Toad House]]s, though in later versions, it is made to consistently appear in certain Toad Houses.

==Trivia==
==References==
*In non-remake versions of ''Super Mario Bros. 3'', retrieving a Hammer Suit will make Mario and Luigi's skin turn a darker, yellowish tone, a feat that no other power-ups perform. It is unknown what purpose this skin color change has, but it is possible that [[Nintendo]] placed the odd effect in to make the textures of Mario and Luigi's skin bear more resemblance to that of the [[Koopa]]s and Hammer Brothers themselves. As aforementioned, Mario and Luigi's skin color stays the same when they wear the suit in remakes.
<references/>
*If Mario or Luigi destroy an airship with a Hammer Suit, the [[Mushroom King]] will say, "Hey, how about lending me your clothes? No dice?! What a drag."
*If [[Mario]]/[[Luigi]] ducks when in a Hammer Suit, he resembles a [[Buster Beetle]].
*In the [[Virtual Console]] re-release, the Hammer Suit is not mentioned in the Operations Guide.
