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]] into [[Hammer Mario]], which gives him the ability to throw [[Hammer]]s. He also gains a fireproof shell when ducking, but loses his ability to slide down hills.

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 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 the power.
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 suit never made an appearance in ''[[The Adventures 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.
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.

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.

The Hammer Suit[1][2] (alternatively Hammer Bros. Suit,[3][4] Hammer Brothers Suit,[5] or Hammer Brother Suit[6]) is an item found in Super Mario Bros. 3 and its SNES and Game Boy Advance versions. This item transforms Mario or Luigi into Hammer Mario or Hammer Luigi, which gives them the ability to throw hammers, like the Hammer Bros.

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 Beetles, which they resemble), but cannot slide down hills. Super Mario Advance 4: Super Mario Bros. 3 adds a new utility to this suit: its hammers can break Rock Blocks.

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.
