'''SPD-Down''' is a status ailment appearing in the ''[[Mario & Luigi (series)|Mario & Luigi]]'' series. It stands for '''"Speed-Down"''' and is the opposite of [[SPD-Up]].

==History==
===''Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga'' / ''Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga + Bowser's Minions''===
The status ailment first appears in ''[[Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga]]'', some enemies have attacks that can lower the Mario Bros.' speed, which may allow them to attack before [[Mario]] or [[Luigi]] on subsequent turns. The ailment is indicated by a streaking blue flash with an arrow pointing down.

In ''[[Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga + Bowser's Minions]]'', a [[First Strike]] with a hammer can cause enemies to begin battle with lowered speed.

===''Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time''===
The status ailment also appears in ''[[Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time]]'', where it serves the same function. It is indicated by a shrinking blue circle around the afflicted. [[Ice Flower]]s can randomly inflict this status ailment on enemies.
