'''Max-Mix Vortex''' is [[Luigi]]'s final [[Bros. Attack]] in ''[[Mario & Luigi: Brothership]]''. It is given to Luigi by [[Burnadette]] and [[Chilliam]] after collecting the power of their bond to fill the [[Bonding Can]]. Its icon resembles a cyan, orange, and yellow top with a golden rim. This Bros. Attack costs 14 BP to initiate, and targets all enemies on the field.

Upon starting the attack, [[Mario]] and Luigi transform into [[Fire Mario]] and [[Ice Mario|Ice Luigi]]. The player must press {{button|switch|A}} to make Mario throw [[Fireball]]s on the tornado, and press {{button|switch|B}} to make Luigi throw [[Ice Ball]]s on the tornado. If the balls hit another of the same type, they will bounce out, while if they hit one of the opposite type, they will cancel each other out. Once the tornado is filled, Mario and Luigi do a spin jump in the tornado so that they can then control and catch enemies in it to do damage. There are eighteen slots in the tornado. The tornado starts out quick, but slows down the longer the set-up takes. If the Bros. take too long, the Bros. start their Spin Jump regardless of how many balls are in the tornado.

Depending on the type and number of balls that make it up, the size and the type of the tornado will change. If it is mostly fireballs, it will become a fire tornado and have a Burn effect. If the tornado is mostly ice balls, it will become an ice tornado with an Ice effect. If there are a lot of both fire and ice balls, it will become a Bomb Tornado that deals extra damage.

The player can move the tornado towards the enemies with the {{button|switch|Stick}} to snatch them into the air to damage them. Tapping {{button|switch|X}} will keep the tornado going longer. The more balls that the tornado has, the greater the rating the player receives. If the Bomb Tornado has at least five balls being different from the others, it will be rated "Excellent". Filling in the tornado with all fire or ice balls will not result in this rating.

This attack functions virtually the same after the windup as [[Luiginary Typhoon]] from ''[[Mario & Luigi: Dream Team]]'', using the {{Button|3ds|stick}}/{{Button|switch|stick}} to move the typhoon/tornado around while mashing {{Button|3ds|B}} for the [[Luiginoid]]s to hammer enemies or {{Button|switch|X}} for both bros to throw fire and ice balls at them. After finishing the Bros. Attack, Mario and Luigi strike celebratory poses based on those from ''Mario & Luigi: Dream Team''. It also resembles [[Mix Flower]] from ''[[Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time]]'', since Mario and Luigi cast elemental balls.
