Editing Bros. Attack

[[File:Mlsssplashbros.png|frame|[[Mario]] and [[Luigi]] performing the Bros. Attack, [[Splash Bros.]]]]

==History==

===''Mario & Luigi'' series===

In ''Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga'', [[Mario]] and [[Luigi]] learn eight Bros. Attacks during the adventure, four for each brother; the required moves are based off their overworld Bros. Actions, ex. the [[Bounce Bros.]] attack, which is based off of the [[High Jump]], and are obtained at the same time. In addition, there are [[Swing Bros.|two secret]] [[Cyclone Bros.|Bros. Attacks]] that they can learn by acquiring the [[Secret Scroll 1|two]] [[Secret Scroll 2|Secret Scrolls]] in the [[Hammerhead Bros.]]' caverns in eastern [[Beanbean Fields|Beanbean Outskirts]]. A very small selection of enemies can use attacks similar to Bros. Attacks, such as the bosses [[Popple]] and [[Rookie]] in their second battle.

To perform Bros. Attacks, buttons must be pressed in the right order, at the right time. If a button is missed, the attack will do far less damage, possibly even less than a regular [[Jump]] or [[Hammer]] attack. Each Bros. Attack also has three Modes: 1, 2, and 3. Mode 1 is the most basic; the game goes into slow motion when buttons need to be pressed, to give the player ample time to press the correct buttons. In addition, button icons that show which button needs to be pressed are clearly displayed. In Mode 2, slow-motion is taken out, but the button icons remain. Mode 3 has no slow-motion, or button icons, but Bros. Attacks performed in Mode 3 are more powerful and cost less BP than those performed in the other Modes.

In ''Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga + Bowser's Minions'', Modes 1, 2, and 3 no longer exist for the Bros. Attacks, instead they are replaced by "Normal" or "Easy" difficulty, with the Easy difficulty being more lenient in timing but with the downside of costing more BP to perform. The slowed down pace of Mode 1 is also removed. Additionally, all battle backgrounds now scroll whenever Mario or Luigi use a Bros. Attack. The "Advanced" Bros. Attacks have been given their own separate category of "Super Bros. Attacks". Even if the Bros. fail to obtain an "Excellent!" rating for the original attacks, it still counts towards the number of times that the move is performed, meaning that there is no penalty for failing to perform the attack properly. Furthermore, the Bros. have a chance to practice their Bros. attacks if they lack knowledge on proper timing during "Practice" mode or watch a "Demo" of the attacks in order to learn how to perform them properly, both of which are accessed during combat. Some attacks, such as Swing Bros., have had their inputs changed.

|''Use the A Button for Mario and the B Button for Luigi, and kick that shell!''

|Mario and Luigi kick a [[Red Shell]] at enemies, first targeting one enemy before moving to the next. If the targeted enemy is in the back, the Bros. will fire the shell at any enemies in the enemy's way. It ends with Mario using a charged kick upon Luigi kicking it to him.

|Mario and Luigi jump into a cannon. A randomized sequence of them being fired out of the cannon starts. The player must hit the {{button|3ds|a}} and {{button|3ds|b}} Buttons in the same sequence Mario and Luigi came out, and if successful, must do the same sequence backwards for maximum damage.
