Hammer Bro

Turtle throwing tools

Hammer Bro is an enemy character in Nintendo's Mario video game series—a turtle-like creature that stands upright and hurls an endless supply of hammers at the player.

First appearing in Super Mario Bros. (1985), Hammer Bros are known for being particularly difficult to dodge or defeat.

The name follows the Mario franchise convention of "Bro" enemies: Fire Bro, Boomerang Bro, Ice Bro.
