Dash, also known as Fire Tickle,[1] is a Bros. Action in Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga and its remake, Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga + Bowser's Minions. It is taught by the Jellyfish Sisters to Mario and Luigi at their Relaxation Room in Gwarhar Lagoon. After Mario and Luigi sign up for a massage session, the Jellyfish Sisters accidentally trigger the Mario Bros.' Hand Powers, which then motivates them to teach the brothers how to use the Tickle and its counterpart, the Dash.

Dash is performed by first setting Mario as the rear brother using Start Button, switching to the move using the shoulder buttons (L Button or R Button), and holding B Button. Mario has to tickle Luigi with Firebrand until Firebrand reaches maximum power. This sets Luigi's back on fire, and when the button is released, both brothers dash forward faster than normally possible. This technique can be used for reaching certain areas under a limited time frame; passing through fast-moving obstacles; knocking over or pushing heavy objects, such as Ankoopas (Big Koopa Troopas in the remake); and breaking down cracked walls in a certain room in Bowser's Castle. The move can be immediately stopped by moving in any direction other than forward or by pressing A Button.

In Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga + Bowser's Minions, Mario and Luigi switch positions automatically to match the selected Bros. Action. Switching between Bros. Actions is done with the Touch Screen or by using L Button and R Button. The A Button button is used to start Dash, and it is also used to end it early.
