Amazing Flyin' Hammer Bro.

From the Super Mario Wiki

“That's it! I'm throwin' hammers!”
—Amazing Flyin' Hammer Bro.

An Amazing Flyin' Hammer Bro. is a variety of Hammer Bro. found in Super Mario World.

An Amazing Flyin' Hammer Bro. hovers around on a platform composed of two blocks with a wing on each side that swings back and forth. This enemy tosses hammers from his helicopter-like tool, attempting to attack Mario. He can be defeated by hitting him from below or from the side with a projectile attack.

When the Amazing Flyin' Hammer Bro. was defeated, the flying platform would remain and continue on its original flight path, allowing for an extra platform on which to stand; however, if the platform's rider was defeated before the platform itself began to move, it would not have a set path and would instead stay in place.

Amazing Flyin' Hammer Brother made a reappearance in Super Princess Peach, with a new "Calm" version that sleeps. This variation is called a Calm Amazing Flyin' Hammer Bro.

[edit] Trivia

• One of these enemies makes a cameo in the Nintendo Monopoly.
