The Hammerhead Bros. attempting to make a hammer

TheHammerhead Bros. are two master blacksmiths fromMario & Luigi: Superstar Saga who resemble, forge, and upgradeHammers. The older brother,Sledge, is red, while his younger brother,Mallet, is green, much likeMario andLuigi. They are first encountered inHoohoo Village, after Mario and Luigi's path is blocked by a rock dropped byFawful. Mario and Luigi must supply the Hammerhead Bros. withHoohoo Blocks to create Hammers, which can then be used to destroy the rock. Before Mario and Luigi enterBeanbean Fields, the Hammerhead Bros. arrive to teach them how to use their hammer in battle.

Later, the Hammerhead Bros. are visited in their new homes atBeanbean Fields by Mario and Luigi after visitingOho Oasis anda stronger rock blocks their path toTeehee Valley. The Hammerhead Bros. gladly upgrade their hammers toSuper Hammers. The hammers are upgraded once more toUltra Hammers when Mario and Luigi are blocked byan even stronger rock towardsOho Ocean.

InMario & Luigi: Superstar Saga + Bowser's Minions, the Hammerhead Bros. reprise their role in the main story. Additionally, before Mario and Luigi go to Teehee Valley, they will appear near the entrance ofBeanbean Castle, telling them that they have moved to the caverns ofBeanbean Fields. They are also not there until then.

DuringMinion Quest: The Search for Bowser,Captain Goomba and his squad encounter the Hammerhead Bros. in the levelFor the Love of Hammers, where the bros. welcome a pair of Hammer Bros. into their family, and sing a song about their love for Hammers together. Captain Goomba asks the Hammer Bros. to join their squad, but they don't want to leave until they hear thatBowser is in danger. Sledge suggests to have a battle to decide the outcome, with Mallet adding that the loser should do what the winner says. As Captain Goomba emerges victorious, the Hammerhead Bros. say goodbye, while the Hammer Bros. encourage the two that they will be able to make the Ultra Hammer someday. For a parting gift, the Hammerhead Bros. wish to sing the hammer song again. Captain Goomba refuses when asked to hear the song again, which prompts Sledge to tell him how to view cutscenes he has already seen.

Notes[edit]

The Hammer tutorial in the original game (US) and remake
The Hammer tutorial in the original game (US) and remake
The Hammer tutorial in the original game (US) and remake
  • In Western versions of the original game, during the tutorial battle regarding hammer use, the battle background is ofBeanbean Outskirts. At this point in the game, Mario and Luigi have not yet made it to this area, though they are about to. In the Japanese version, as well asMario & Luigi: Superstar Saga + Bowser's Minions, the battle background is the correct area,Hoohoo Mountain.
  • If the Mario Bros. visit the Hammerhead Bros.' house in Hoohoo Village before seeing Fawful, aHoohooligan will be in the house instead, telling the Bros. they are out looking for rocks to make hammers.
  • Their wide heads and large, squinting eyes give them a resemblance to ancient Japanesedogū figures, fitting with how mostHoohooligans resemblehaniwa figures.
