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. The characters also gain a fireball-proof shell when ducking, but lose their ability to [[slide|slide down hills]]. If Mario or Luigi ducks while in the Hammer Suit, they resemble a [[Buzzy Beetle]].


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

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.

Trivia[edit]

  • The Hammer Suit (as well as Hammer Mario) is not mentioned in the original NES or 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 Houses, though in later versions, it is made to consistently appear in certain Toad Houses.
