'''Attack Pieces''' are special puzzle piece items that were introduced in ''[[Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story]]'' and its [[Nintendo 3DS|3DS]] remake, ''[[Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story + Bowser Jr.'s Journey]]'' and reappear in ''[[Mario & Luigi: Dream Team]]''. They have four quadrants: red, blue, green, and yellow. In ''Bowser's Inside Story'', their shape is a big square with a square bite in all four of the corners and a rectangular bite on each side; the dividing lines cut through them straight. In ''Dream Team'', their appearance is slightly different, with their whole design being closer to a plus shape with the quadrants making them up being shaped like actual plus shapes. Both depict them with red in the upper left quadrant, with their ''Bowser's Inside Story'' design putting the blue quadrant in the upper right, the green quadrant in the lower right, and the yellow quadrant in the lower left; in ''Dream Team'', the green quadrant is in the upper right, with yellow in the lower right and blue in the lower left. They are usually found in singular areas throughout the game, and collecting ten of them in one area will grant [[Mario]] and [[Luigi]] with powerful [[Bros. Attack#Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story / Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story + Bowser Jr.'s Journey|Special / Bros. Attacks]] in ''Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story'', ''Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story + Bowser Jr.'s Journey'' and ''Mario & Luigi Dream Team'' (in [[Pi'illo Island|Real World]] locations). [[Mario & Luigi: Dream Team#Luiginary Attacks (Dream World)|Luiginary Attacks]] are also granted by collecting all 10 Attack Pieces in the [[Dream World]] locations from ''Mario & Luigi: Dream Team''.

Most Attack Pieces can be found in and collected by striking [[Attack Piece Block|blocks that resemble them]], though others can be obtained by different methods (usually from NPCs after completing certain objectives). At times, Mario and Luigi can get either one or multiple Attack Pieces at once.

Attack Pieces make their debut in ''[[Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story]]'', where they grant Mario and Luigi with a Special/Bros. Attack once all ten are collected in a single area. They are first found in the [[Trash Pit]] inside [[Bowser's body]], and are later found in areas both inside and outside Bowser's body (such as [[Pump Works]] and [[Toad Town]]). The locations of the Attack Pieces remain the same in ''[[Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story + Bowser Jr.'s Journey]]''.

[[File:MLDT AttackPieceReceived.png|thumb|185px|[[Mario]] obtaining an Attack Piece in ''Mario & Luigi: Dream Team''.]]
Attack Pieces make a return in ''Mario & Luigi: Dream Team'', but this time, they grant different types of [[List of moves|special attacks]]. In the Real World, Attack Pieces grant a Bros. Attack to one of the brothers once all ten are collected. In the Dream World, they instead grant a Luiginary Attack to Mario. The brothers obtain their very first Attack Piece in the Real World in [[Mushrise Park]], given by a [[Toad (species)|Toad]] after saving him from [[Thorb]]s, and in the Dream World in [[Dreamy Mushrise Park]].

Attack Pieces are usually named after the area they are received in. For instance, the Attack Pieces found in [[Dozing Sands]] are called '''Dozing Sands Pieces''' in the menu. However, if a character gives Mario and Luigi all ten Attack Pieces at once, then they are referred to "Character's Pieces." [[Brickle]] gives them '''Brickle's Pieces''', the Massif Bros. give them the '''Massif Bros. Attack Pieces''' or '''Massif Bros. Pieces''', and [[Eldream]] gives them '''Eldream's Pieces'''.
