'''Bros. Points''' (commonly abbreviated as '''BP''') are a special stat found in ''[[Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga]]'', ''[[Mario & Luigi: Dream Team]]'', ''[[Mario & Luigi: Paper Jam]]'', ''[[Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga + Bowser's Minions]]'', and ''[[Mario & Luigi: Brothership]]''. Their symbol is a red and green circle in ''Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga'' and a [[Koopa Shell]] (lifted from [[Special Point]]s in ''[[Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story]]'') in other games in the series where they appear. Bros. Points behave similarly to the [[Flower Point]]s of ''[[Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars]]'' and the first two [[Paper Mario (series)|''Paper Mario'']] games in that they are used to perform [[List of moves|special moves]], which in the [[Mario & Luigi (series)|''Mario & Luigi'' series]] are known as [[Bros. Attack]]s. Bros. Points are increased each time [[Mario]] or [[Luigi]] [[level up]]. Mario starts most games with more Bros. Points than Luigi. Recovering Bros. Points can be done with certain items, with [[Syrup Jar]]s offering the most basic form of recovery. Various healing services in each game can fully restore both HP and BP.

Bros. Attacks have to be learned in each game, and the characters start out with no Bros. Attacks. Regardless, Bros. Points are always present in the user interface during battle. Bros. Points are absent in ''[[Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time]]'' as Bros. Attacks are replaced with [[Bros. Item]]s, which are consumable items.
In ''Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga'' and ''Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga + Bowser's Minions'', the meter in the image with the red and green ball shows how many Bros. Points Mario and Luigi have. Mario or Luigi must drink [[Syrup Jar]]s or use a similar item in order to regain lost Bros. Points. The Mario Bros. receive their [[Splash Bros.|first]] [[Bounce Bros.|two]] Bros. Attacks in [[Stardust Fields]] along with [[Spin Jump (Mario & Luigi series)|two]] [[High Jump|field commands]].


In ''Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga'' and ''Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga + Bowser's Minions'', the meter in the image with the red and green ball shows how many Bros. Points Mario and Luigi have. Mario and Luigi start with an equal number of Bros. Points in the original ''Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga''.
Bros. Points are absent in ''[[Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time]]'' as Bros. Attacks are replaced with [[Bros. Item]]s. Bros. Points were renamed "[[Special Point]]s" (SP) in ''[[Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story]]'', due to Bowser having [[Brawl Attack|his own Special Attacks]] involving [[Koopa Troop|his minions]], though this was renamed back to Bros. Points in its [[Nintendo 3DS]] remake, ''[[Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story + Bowser Jr.'s Journey]]''.


In ''[[Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story]]'', Bros. Points are renamed "[[Special Point]]s" (SP), due to Bowser having [[Brawl Attack|his own Special Attacks]] involving [[Bowser's Minions|his minions]]. The [[Nintendo 3DS]] remake, ''[[Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story + Bowser Jr.'s Journey]]'', went back to using Bros. Points for Mario and Luigi and introduced [[Brawl Point]]s for Bowser.  
Bros. Points return in ''Mario & Luigi: Dream Team'', behaving exactly like the first game, with the exception that they are also used for [[Luiginary Attack]]s while in the [[Dream World]]. The [[Green Shell]] icon used for representing Special Points in ''Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story'' is used to represent Bros. Points in this game.


Bros. Points return in ''Mario & Luigi: Dream Team'', behaving exactly like the first game. In the [[Dream World]], [[Luiginary Attack]]s replace Bros. Attacks, so Bros. Points are additionally spent for Luiginary Attacks. The [[Green Shell]] icon used for representing Special Points in ''Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story'' is used to represent Bros. Points in this game and future titles (aside from ''Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga + Bowser's Minions'').
Bros. Points reappear again in ''Mario & Luigi: Paper Jam'', where they function the same way they did in the previous two games. They can also be used for [[Trio Attack]]s controlled by [[Paper Mario (character)|Paper Mario]].
 
In ''Mario & Luigi: Paper Jam'', Bros. Points reappear again, where they function the same way they did in the previous two games. They can also be used for [[Trio Attack]]s controlled by [[Paper Mario (character)|Paper Mario]]. Trio Attacks cost more Bros. Points than Bros. Attacks, but Paper Mario starts the game with the most Bros. Points out of the three characters.
 
''Mario & Luigi: Brothership'' is the first game where the Bros. can take damage to Bros. Points. During his boss battle, [[Zokket]] can bring a [[Glohm]]-infected brother to his side, and the Bros. lose Bros. points to signify their bond being forgotten.
