| | '''Firebrand''' is a [[abilities|move]] used by [[Mario]] during the events of ''[[Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga]]''. It is also the brother move of the [[Thunderhand]]. He is taught this by the [[Fire and Thunder Gods|Fire God]] in the [[Fire Palace]]. It is even further advanced after [[Gigi]] teaches him how to use it along with [[Luigi]]. |

| The '''Firebrand''' is one of the two types of [[Hand Power]]s that is used by [[Mario]] in ''[[Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga]]'' and its remake, ''[[Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga + Bowser's Minions]]'', the other being the [[Thunderhand]], which is used by [[Luigi]]. Mario is taught this power by [[Firebrand and Thunderhand|Firebrand]] in the [[Fire Palace]], and he is taught an [[Dash (Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga)|advanced technique]] by the [[Jellyfish Sisters]], allowing Mario to burn Luigi so he can charge ahead extremely quickly. This can be used to pass through fast-moving spiked barrels, as well as move cannonball-like objects and knock down [[Ankoopa]]s ([[Big Koopa Troopa]]s in the remake) blocking the path. To use this move, the player must have Mario as the lead brother, switch to the Firebrand command by using {{button|gba|R}}/{{button|gba|L}}, and hold down {{button|gba|A}}, which causes Mario to conjure up a fireball in his hand. After the player fully charges the move, releasing {{button|gba|A}} makes Mario create a fireball that can be used to light [[Torch (Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga)|Torch]]es.

|
| In battle, the Firebrand can be used offensively against enemies. Using the Firebrand on red [[Oho Jee]] in the overworld causes them to go wild and attack Mario and Luigi, forcing them into a battle. When using it, the player must press {{button|gba|A}} when Mario fully charges the fireball to perform the move successfully. Failure in doing so results in Mario scorching himself and the move dealing less damage. Some enemies, such as [[Glurp]]s and [[Spiky Snifit]]s, have a weakness to the Firebrand, and in a few cases, they can be damaged only by it. Other enemies (such as [[Bowletta]]'s normal form and [[Mom Piranha]]'s red form) get healed by it instead.
| | Firebrand can light [[Fire Lamp]]s and other ignitable objects. In battle it proves useful against certain enemies. They can also use [[Fire Bros. (Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga)|Fire Bros.]] after the [[Jellyfish Sisters]] teach Mario the advanced method. After the advanced method is taught, Mario can use it when behind Luigi causing him to run extremely fast in one direction and tow Mario behind him. This can be used to pass through fast-moving spiked barrels. It also can be used to knock down cannon ball-like objects and [[Ankoopa]]s. |

|
| Mario can also use the [[Fire Bros. (move)|Fire Bros.]] [[Bros. Attack]] once he and Luigi learn the Dash technique, which involves him flinging fireballs at Luigi, who then launches them at the enemy with his [[hammer]]; in the remake, Mario rapidly tosses fireballs into the air to create a huge fireball before Luigi launches it towards a single enemy with his hammer. A [[Advanced Command|more powerful variant]] is the Super Fire Bros., which uses up more [[Bros. Point]]s in the remake. Here, Mario can create a huge fireball when Luigi hits smaller fireballs back at him, and once the attack ends, Mario bounces off Luigi to spike it at the enemy for more damage and possibly inflict the [[burn]] status; in the remake, Luigi hits the huge fireball upwards so Mario can spike it, and it also creates a shockwave that damages other enemies. | | Besides Mario, Gigi, and the Fire God, it is possible that [[Cackletta]] also knows it. During the final battle, she can snap her left fingers, creating a fire ring, which circles Mario and Luigi. However, this may be one of the attacks she naturally knows. |
| | |
| | The move is also referenced in the final battle of ''[[Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time]]''. The boss had an attack where an energy ball would be fired at UFOs, and if the UFO was on fire, it would crash into Mario and [[Baby Mario]], and if it was emitting electricity, it would crash into Luigi and [[Baby Luigi]], a reference to Mario learning how to use fire and Luigi learning thunder. |
| | |
| | This power is not mentioned in any other games. |
|
| |
|
| Also in the remake, the Firebrand can be used to perform a [[First Strike]]. If this is done, enemies may be burned at the start of the battle.
