'''Knockback Bros.''' is one of [[Luigi]]'s [[Bros. Attack]]s in ''[[Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga]]'' and ''[[Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga + Bowser's Minions]]''. It is based off of [[Mini-Mario (form)|Mini Hammer]]. In the original, the move costs five [[Bros. Point|BP]] on Modes 1 and 2, and three BP on Mode 3. In the remake, the move costs eight/ten BP for its regular variant, and ten/thirteen BP for its Super variant. When activated, the bros spin backwards, Luigi smacks [[Mario]] on the head with his [[hammer]], making him [[Mini-Mario (form)|Mini Mario]], and hits him like a golf ball, sending him into the selected enemy to damage them. The buttons pressed are {{button|gba|B}} to whack Mario, {{button|gba|B}} again to send him shooting toward an enemy, and {{button|gba|A}} to do damage to the enemy. The attack is able to hit flying enemies, even if all the [[Action Command]]s are missed and Mario does not leave the ground.

After successfully executing the attack forty-three times, Mario and Luigi learn the [[Advanced Command|Advanced]] version. In the Advanced version, more controls are added. The controls for the standard version are the same, but to execute the Advanced version, {{button|gba|A}} must be pressed immediately after the first {{button|gba|B}} press. Then the controls are {{button|gba|B}} to hit Mario and {{button|gba|A}} to do damage, which repeats indefinitely (though the move deals less damage over time) until the Action Command is failed. In the [[Nintendo 3DS|3DS]] remake, ''[[Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga + Bowser's Minions]]'', however, the move has been nerfed, as Luigi can only hit Mario up to five times for an "Excellent!" rating (doing so only once gives a "Good!" rating, and four times gives a "Great!" rating), and Luigi winds up for the last hit. It can also now hit multiple targets.

This move is also used by the brainwashed [[Hammer Bro (Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time)|Hammer Bros.]] fought by [[Baby Mario]] and [[Baby Luigi]] in the [[Vim Factory]] from ''[[Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time]]'', where they perform it exactly the same as the Mario Bros. did in ''Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga''. They use it when under influence of the [[Shroob]]s's mind-control helmets, and are only able to perform it together with both Hammer Bros. still alive on the battlefield. Occasionally, their hammer will break, causing the other Hammer Bro to bounce towards Baby Mario and Baby Luigi. To dodge the attack, the Baby Bros. must [[jump]] over the Hammer Bro that was hit at them, or stand still when their hammer breaks.
