Request Hammer Bro as a playable character dicussion.

I think he should be in the game, here are my ideas: (watch out its a long post)
Forms:
Basic form: SMB 1 form (green);
Mushroom form: SMB castle form (dark green);
Fire flower form: SMB3 form

Features:
Basic form: 1 hammer toss, slow
Mushroom form: 2 hammer toss + boomerang toss OR fireball toss, a bit faster
Fire flower form hammer toss + Fireball toss OR boomerang toss, twice as fast

Music: (following themes are from SMB3)
Character selection: Enemy battle theme (beginning only, like mario)
Overworld: Overworld theme
Night: Athletic theme
Underground: Underground theme
Water: Underwater theme
Castle: Fortress theme
Coin heaven: Music Box or P-switch theme or Warp island theme
Level clear: Fireworks Fanfare
Castle clear: King's room
Invincible: Star theme
Life lost: Life lost theme
Game over: Game over theme
Ending: Ending theme

And how would you make it cross wide pits? Hammers brothers are slow as hell.

Maybe we can just make them jump high or make it faster than usual hammer bros?

Just make him double jump

I'd rather say a triple jump.
Anyway, I don't think it'd be fun to play as a Hammer Brother 'cause they haven't got much animations. In the 2 first SMB (SMB and the Lost Levels), they have only 4 sprites.

Meh I rather keep him as a enemy.

You know what id Like to see? SMB3 Hammer suite of some sort

In my mind enemies should just stay as enemies, not playable characters.






(Well, except Bowser. Maybe)

lets make lakitu playable

Dude, read the Info for Newcomers. This isn't the place for what you've said.

yes hammer bro

i know hamer bro snow bro boomerang bro fire bro

This is some forward thinking. Especially if the sprites from SMB3 or SMW were used. Though I have to agree with everyone else, they would need to sped up.

hammers? lol

You forgot the big, bad, Sledge Bros too (those that hang out in Giant Land in SMB3).

But yeah, Hammer Bros may not have the same foot-speed as some characters, but hell, they can jump THROUGH bricks.
