'''Lightning''' (also called '''Electricity''' or '''Thunder''') is an element given to various attacks, items, and enemies in RPGs. In the ''[[Paper Mario (series)|Paper Mario]]'' series, it is closely linked to the [[Electrified]] status effect. In ''[[Mario + Rabbids Sparks of Hope]]'', it is linked to the [[Shock]] Super Effect. | '''Lightning''' (also called '''Electricity''' or '''Thunder''') is an element given to various attacks, items, and enemies in RPGs.

In ''[[Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars]]'' and [[Super Mario RPG (Nintendo Switch)|its remake]], lightning is one of the four elements assigned to Special attacks, alongside [[Jumping#Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars|Jump]], [[Fire (element)|Fire]], and [[Ice (element)|Ice]]. [[Mallow]]'s [[Thunderbolt (move)|Thunderbolt]] and [[Shocker (Super Mario RPG)|Shocker]] are designated with the lightning element. Attacking enemies or bosses weak to lightning will deal twice the damage; conversely, attacking enemies and bosses who are resistant to it will have no effect and inflict 0 damage instead. | In ''[[Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars]]'' and [[Super Mario RPG (Nintendo Switch)|its remake]], lightning is one of the four elements assigned to Special attacks, alongside [[Jumping#Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars|Jump]], [[Fire (element)|Fire]], and [[Ice (element)|Ice]].

Some enemies can be weak to thunder, which deals more damage to them as a Critical hit, or be immune to it and absorb the attacks to heal themselves. Others can be resistant to both Hand Powers, turning any thunder attack into a flat 1 damage. This is independent from the Critical and Heal effects and can be added to them, effectively dealing 2 damage and healing 1 HP respectively. This is changed in ''[[Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga + Bowser's Minions]]'', which only reduces the attacks' power instead, is not cumulative with other effectivenesses, and is applied to each element separately rather than both. | Some enemies can be weak to thunder, which deals more damage to them as a Critical hit, or be immune to it and absorb the attacks to heal themselves.
