Baby Cakes
Baby Cakes is a Bros. Action in Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time. In the move, the adults, in Bros. Ball form, roll over the babies, flattening them into disk-shapes. In this temporary state, the babies can ride air currents and fit into very thin passages. It wears off after a certain amount of time, but going into a passage with a small roof that they can only fit under when flat or entering an air current will stop them from getting bigger. On the other hand, touching several objects like spikes and 4-Person Panels results in the babies wear off the state immediately. Baby Mario cannot use his hammer in this form, and Baby Luigi cannot use the Baby Drill when in this form. The adult Bros. cannot give them a piggyback or do a Baby Spin until the babies are normal size.
The move is taught by Toadsworth the Younger after he and Toadsworth teach the Baby Spin move after Mario, Luigi and the babies clear the Gritzy Caves and before they head for Thwomp Volcano. The Toadsworths create the move when Toadsworth the Younger forces them to roll over Baby Peach to entertain her after Bros. Ball fails to have the same effect. Toadsworth is so distraught that Toadsworth the Younger does the lesson himself. After the tutorial, Baby Peach is blown by a wind to a cave in the castle. Toadsworth the Younger then asks Mario, Luigi and the babies to rescue her, which serves as an opportunity to practice both Baby Cakes and Baby Spin.

- Instruction manual description: "The big Bros. can flatten the babies if they roll into them while in ball form. The wafer-thin babies can then slip into tiny spaces and float about on strong winds. The babies will return to normal shape after a few moments."
