'''Prohibited Command'''<ref>{{cite|title=''[[Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga + Bowser's Minions]]'' digital manual|page=9}}</ref> is a status ailment in most [[Super Mario (franchise)|''Super Mario'']] [[Genre#Role-playing|RPG]] games. Its effect entails preventing the player from using specific commands. It first appeared in ''[[Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars]]'', and has appeared in every ''[[Mario & Luigi (series)|Mario & Luigi]]'' game as well as the first four ''[[Paper Mario (series)|Paper Mario]]'' games.

==History==

[[File:NoskillsSMRPG.png|thumb|Bowyer disables the Special command.]]

In ''[[Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars]]'', after [[Mario]] and [[Mallow]] join [[Geno]] while he is fighting [[Bowyer]], Bowyer will retort that a three-on-one fight is unfair. To compensate for this, the {{button|snes|Y}}, {{button|snes|X}} and {{button|snes|A}} buttons will appear in front of him. Bowyer will then fire an [[Aero]] at one of the buttons, which will effectively lock the ability to use that button's commands (magic, [[List of items|item]]s or attacks). In the original game, only one button can ever be locked at once, although Bowyer will continually fire Aeros at the buttons every few turns until he is defeated. Bowyer's [[Machine Made]] counterpart does this as well. In the [[Super Mario RPG (Nintendo Switch)|remake]], he concludes the battle by locking all three buttons, leading to a cutscene featuring the [[Triple Move]] that takes him out. During [[Johnny]]'s post-game rematch, the items button is disabled for the entire battle. [[Culex|Culex 3D]]'s crystals are also able to lock one of the three buttons.

This ailment in ''[[Paper Mario]]'' is inflicted by [[Spy Guy]]s when they attack Mario with their [[hammers]]. The impact will dislodge one of Mario's action commands ([[jump]], hammer or item) from the menu. Two boss fights also feature this status effect - [[Fuzzipede]]'s tackle and [[Bowser]]'s jump attack both disable one of Mario's commands. Lost commands are restored after a couple of turns.

In the [[Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door|second installment]] of the series, this ailment returns with the same effect as the previous game, but now [[partner]] abilities can be disabled as well. It is once again inflicted by Bowser's jump. The [[Nintendo Switch]] [[Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door (Nintendo Switch)|remake]] includes a counter of how many turns until the ailment wears off. Additionally, using the badge [[Jumpman (Badge)|Jumpman]] increases Mario's jumping attack by 1 at the cost of disabling his hammer command, and [[Hammerman]] has the opposite effect.

In ''[[Super Paper Mario]]'', this effect, under the name "No Skills", is inflicted by [[Tech Cursya]]s. When affected by it, the playable characters cannot use their special abilities for a period of time. [[Mario]] loses the ability to [[flip]], [[Luigi]] loses his [[Super jump (Super Paper Mario)|super jump]], Bowser is unable to [[Fire Breath|breathe fire]], and [[Princess Peach]] loses her [[Peach's Parasol|parasol]] abilities. If [[Mario]] gets this ailment while already in 3D, he will be stuck in 3D until the ailment wears off, the timer runs out, or the player switches characters.

 

In ''[[Paper Mario: Sticker Star]]'', the only time this effect occurs is in [[Rustle Burrow]], where Mario is unable to use his hammer after losing it here. He is also unable to use any of the hammer [[sticker]]s he has in his [[album]]. Due to the loss of [[Kersti]], the [[Battle Spin]]ner and [[Paperize]] are unavailable as well, which also occurs when she is eaten by [[Petey Piranha]] in [[Rumble Volcano]].

====''Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga'' / ''Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga + Bowser's Minions''====

In ''[[Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga]]'' and ''[[Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga + Bowser's Minions]]'', the [[Boo]]s in [[Bowser's Castle]] can steal [[Command Block|command block]]s with their attacks, stopping the brothers from using them. During the last two boss fights with [[Popple]], he can steal one of the Bros.' hammers, preventing them from using any attacks involving their hammers. In the [[Prima Games]] guide for ''Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga'', Prohibited Command is listed as four different effects: '''Jump X''', '''Hammer X''', '''Hand X''', and '''Item X'''.<ref>{{cite|author=Stratton, Stephen, and Levi Buchanan|date=2003|title=Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga Prima's Official Strategy Guide|publisher=[[Prima Games]]|isbn=0-7615-4423-2|page=17}}</ref>
