Bros. Attack: Difference between revisions

'''Bros. Attacks''' are special methods of attacking, which require Mario and Luigi to work together. These moves are used in ''[[Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga]]'', ''[[Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story]]'', ''[[Mario & Luigi: Dream Team]]'', ''[[Mario & Luigi: Paper Jam]]'', ''[[Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga + Bowser's Minions]]'', and ''[[Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story + Bowser Jr.'s Journey]]''.

{{see also|Advanced Command}}

Bros. Attacks use up Mario and Luigi's [[Bros. Point]]s, or BP. Each Bros. attack costs three to eight Bros. Points, which can be replenished with [[Syrup Jar]]s, other BP restorative items (like [[Golden Mushroom]]s), and/or certain [[List of badges in Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga|badges]].

After executing a Bros. Attack successfully (i.e. pressing all of the buttons correctly) a certain number of times, [[Advanced Command]]s are learned. Advanced Bros. Attacks are generally harder to perform than regular ones, but Advanced attacks often have added bonuses such as stealing [[List of items|items]], making the enemy [[Dizzy]], or simply doing more damage to it.

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. 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.

The concept of Bros. Attacks was replaced with [[Bros. Item]]s in the sequel, ''[[Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time]]''.

In ''Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story'', Bros. Attacks are referred to as '''Special Attacks''' and they use up [[Special Point]]s. Unlike in other installments, all Special Attacks can be activated by both Mario and Luigi. They are unlocked by collecting ten [[Attack Piece]]s in a given area or by completing certain quests to obtain all ten pieces at a time. Advanced Commands are absent in this game, along with both successors. [[Bowser]]'s equivalent to the Bros. Attack is the [[Brawl Attack]].

In the remake, ''[[Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story + Bowser Jr.'s Journey]]'', "Special Attacks" and "Special Points" are renamed back to "Bros. Attacks" and "Bros. Points," respectively. Just like in ''Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga + Bowser's Minions'', the "Easy" difficulty mode for Special Attacks can be toggled on or off in the remake.

Bros. Attacks return in ''Mario & Luigi: Dream Team'', and can be used in battles in the Real World. Mario & Luigi have five Bros. Attacks each, making a total of 10. They are unlocked by collecting 10 [[Attack Piece]]s in various places in the Real World for each attack, similar to how Special Attacks are unlocked in the preceding game. In the Dream World, [[Luiginary Attack]]s are used instead of Bros. Attacks, though they are acquired the same way as Bros. Attacks in the Real World; by collecting 10 Attack Pieces in a certain area. Two Bros. Attacks are also available for [[Dreamy Luigi]] in [[Giant Luigi|Giant Battles]].

Bros. Attacks return for the fourth time in ''Mario & Luigi: Paper Jam'', where like in ''Mario & Luigi: Dream Team'', Mario and Luigi have five Bros. Attacks each. When the player uses a Bros. Attack, Mario and Luigi will execute the attack while [[Paper Mario (character)|Paper Mario]] cheers for the duo; as a result Bros. Attacks can even be used if Paper Mario is knocked out or absent entirely. Paper Mario instead has the option to use [[Trio Attack]]s that work similarly to Bros. Attacks; but require Mario, Luigi, and Paper Mario to cooperate with each other. Unlike in ''Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story'' and ''Mario & Luigi: Dream Team'', Bros. Attacks are not gained by collecting Attack Pieces; they're instead gained by getting them back from [[Nabbit]] who stole them at the beginning of the game, with the exception of [[Toad Trail]] which is obtained after gaining access to [[Neo Bowser Castle (Mario & Luigi: Paper Jam)|Neo Bowser Castle]].
