Hammer Bro: Difference between revisions

Hammer Brothers are given bigger roles in ''[[Super Mario Bros. 3]]''. In this game, they essentially do what they do in ''Super Mario Bros.'' Additionally, three new species appear: the rare [[Fire Bro]]thers, who spit fire in a manner similar to that of [[Fire Mario]], [[Boomerang Bro]]thers, whose thrown boomerangs will return to them, and [[Sledge Bro]]thers, who are huge and can pound the ground and temporarily immobilizing Mario or Luigi. Their hammers are now mallets in this game as opposed to their first appearance. Additionally, Hammer Bros. patrol the map screens. Touching one there will result in a battle with them. In [[Giant Land]], it appears that regular Hammer Bros. are patrolling the map but when a player runs into one, he will battle a Sledge Brother instead. A similar effect happens in [[Desert Land]] where Hammer Bros patrolled the map screen, but Mario and Luigi will battle with a Boomerang Bro (or a Fire Bro in the secret area) instead. This was changed in ''[[Super Mario All-Stars]]'', where the map icons in Desert Land were changed to reflect a Boomerang Bro and a Fire Bro, and the icon in Giant Land was changed to a green Hammer Bro (since Sledge Bros. are green in all versions of ''Super Mario Bros 3''). A further change was made in ''[[Super Mario Advance 4: Super Mario Bros. 3]]'', where the map icons in Giant Land were changed to reflect a Sledge Bro.
