Hammer Bros, and their variants, are kind of a delight in this series. They're so easy to categorize and work with, and it was a genuine delight seeing all the various types come back this time around. We had Hammer Bros, Boomerang Bros, Fire Bros, Sledge Bros, and Sumo Bros all return, all acting more or less the way they did before, with the exception of Sumo being upgraded to a boss and sending out electricity when he stomps instead of fire. We also got to see a brand new type introduced: the Ice Bro. Sadly, however, none of this adds really anything to the moveset, as Fire hadn't been included in the previous lineup, and Ice likely will not either, both probably being worked into some of his standard and smash moves, rather than his specials. (And of course, we have color swap options with all of these).

Here is the moveset so far:

Standard B: Hammer Toss

Side B: Boomerang

Up B: Sledge Jump

Down B: Sumo Stomp

Final Smash: Amazing Flyin' Hammer Bro

Entrance: Floats down on its platform

Taunts: Jumping around and tossing a single hammer would fit maybe. Maybe something reflecting how hyper they are in Odyssey.

Next up: Let's work with Chargin' Chuck once again.
