Bros. Attack (Mario & Luigi)



Bros. Attacks are attack moves which can only be performed with Mario and Luigi in battles, with the exception of Mario & Luigi Partners in Time which work as Bros. Items, those moves cost amounts of BP (SP in original Mario & Luigi Bowser's Inside Story) and can be unlocked while progressing in Mario & Luigi games.

Why Those Attacks Are Super

 * 1) The idea of attack moves which require teamwork with the brothers to get excellent results is incredibly fun.
 * 2) Bros. Attacks can make any battle end faster by the cost of BP (or SP), and of course the player's performance for enough damage.
 * 3) Each one of the attacks have their unique ways of using each character's button commands.
 * 4) Before Mario & Luigi Bowser Inside Story introduced the most used formula of Bros. Attacks, Mario & Luigi Superstar Saga (and it's remake) has really fun and clever attack moves related to the brothers' action commands from the overworld.
 * 5) * It's possible to unlock more Bros. Attacks, the method to unlock them work different than other games.
 * 6) Bros. Pieces are a good way of unlocking them as a reward for exploring the areas.
 * 7) Missing some of the commands can result in hilarious fails (especially in the first game) that fits well with the series' comedy tone.
 * 8) A few Bros. Attacks like Green / Red Shell, Fire Flower and Mega Thwonk are not only a nice addiction, but great tribute to (overall) Super Mario franchise.

Bad Qualities

 * 1) While not a big deal, Shells and Fire Flowers did overstay their welcome as the first 2 Bros. Attacks with barely any difference in the later entries, also aplies to a few from Mario & Luigi: Dream Team.
 * 2) Mario & Luigi Superstar Saga + Bowser's Minions lacks the option to make Bros. Attacks faster by less cost of BP from the original game.
 * 3) Both remakes don't allow infinite hits until miss for certain Bros. Attacks.

Trivia

 * Popple and Rookie can do duo attacks similar to Bros. Attacks in the second battle.
 * Snack Basket is required to beat Mario & Luigi Bowser's Inside Story and it's remake.
