because there was a request in graphic request
gif
download (comes as a test level and its folder)
UPDATE July 30th: the platform speed was slow so I multiplied it by 1.5.
UPDATE August 1st: the platform no longer moves while the player is powering down or powering up.
previous releases:
Pretty straightforward: place the platform and the hammer bro. You can also copypaste the setup from the test level so that, in-game, the hammer bro doesn't wander off the center of the platform by a few pixels.
have fun!

Due to SMW players thinking the platform was slow, I updated the download with a faster one. (x1.5 speed)

While I was playing SMBXFanBoi's level which included this NPC, I found a small, irritating misbehavior, which was that the platform kept moving while the player was powering down or powering up. As this post is being made, the download has been updated (and now includes the previous versions because why not).

EDIT: WOOPS! A second later I realized that there was an unnecessary function printing the powering-up/down timer. Fixed.

It's great, but originally in Super Mario World, you could hit the bottom of the block to defeat the AFH Bro.

I felt that missing too, however, I don't really have much of an idea on how to implement that. So, until I do, no bonking. :(

You could probably ask on the Codehaus Discord server. I'm sure they would be able to help.

you can code a block I'm pretty sure. The npc itself could just be the hammer bro itself

It's very tricky. Blocks in the engine were never designed to move, and the platform acts like 2 blocks despite being a single sprite. It's probably easier to keep it an NPC and re-code the bump event by drawing a custom bump and detecting it manually. NPCs on the platform must be harmed with HARM_TYPE_FROMBELOW once a bump that affects them is detected.
