The Hammer Suit looks like a little dude, but it's a powerful item. Upon using this item, the user gains a helmet and a protective shell that'll block most things thrown at it. Sliding down slopes with it is difficult, but it's no dealbreaker as the hammers that come with this power-up makes up for everything. They're the same hammers the Hammer Bros. toss at Mario, which means they're really strong. Hammer Bros. can respect a fellow hammer tosser, but it just makes their job of throwing hammers more fun.
