In ''Super Mario World'', Amazing Flyin' Hammer Brothers are first encountered in [[Donut Plains 4]]. They hover around on two-block versions of the [[Flying Platform]] that swings back and forth. Amazing Flyin' Hammer Brothers attack by tossing [[hammer]]s from their swooping platforms, and the enemies can be defeated by various methods, most commonly hitting the platforms from below; they can also be defeated with a [[stomp]] or [[fireball]], though the hammers make it somewhat difficult to do so without taking damage. When an Amazing Flyin' Hammer Brother is defeated, the platform remains onscreen and continues on its original flight path; however, if the platform's rider is somehow defeated before the platform itself begins to move, it instead stays in place.

During the enemy cast roll in the game's credits, the Amazing Flyin' Hammer Brother's platform resembles gray [[Empty Block]]s instead of gray [[Rotating Block]]s.

Amazing Flyin' Hammer Brothers make a reappearance in ''[[Super Princess Peach]]'', retaining their appearance and behavior from previous games. They appear only in [[Giddy Sky]]. The game also introduces a sleeping "[[Calm]]" variant called a [[Calm Amazing Flyin' Hammer Brother|C. A. F. H. Bro]], which is comparatively more common. Strangely, Peach can instantly defeat the enemy by simply touching it if it is close enough to the ground.
