'''Slingsniper''' is [[Luigi]]'s fourth available [[Bros. Attack]] in ''[[Mario & Luigi: Dream Team]]''. Like the [[3D Green Shell]], this Bros. Attack is mandatory to obtain as the [[Attack Piece]]s for it are given to Luigi by [[Big Massif]] and [[Lil' Massif]] after completing a [[Ball Hop]] puzzle on [[Mount Pajamaja]]. (The one closer to the Midpoint.) 9 [[Bros. Point|BP]] is required to use this attack. It deals damage with neither boots nor the hammer. Its name is a pun on "slingshot" and "sniper."

When the attack is initiated, a large slingshot is planted in the foreground of the battlefield. Once Luigi climbs inside the slingshot, the player has to hold down on the {{button|3ds|stick}} to allow [[Mario]] to stretch it further into the foreground. Once the slingshot is fully stretched, the player has to hold down the {{button|3ds|B}} button while tilting the 3DS to aim the slingshot. (The player can release the Circle Pad at this point.) Letting go of the {{button|3ds|B}} button launches Luigi in the direction the aiming reticle was pointing. The longer the player spends aiming, the more the slingshot will retract backward, reducing the power of the attack. If Luigi is launched soon enough, he will pass through small enemies, striking every enemy in a column. If the player takes longer, Luigi stops at the first struck enemy.
When the attack is initiated, a large slingshot is planted in the foreground of the battlefield. Once Luigi climbs inside the slingshot, the player will have to hold down on the Circle Pad to allow Mario to stretch it further into the foreground. Once the slingshot is fully stretched out, the player will have to hold down the {{button|3ds|B}} button while tilting the 3DS to aim the slingshot. Letting go of the {{button|3ds|B}} button will automatically launch Luigi in the direction the aiming reticle was pointing. The attack will fail if the player takes too long to aim or if Luigi misses the enemies. If the player lets go of the Circle Pad before pressing the {{button|3ds|B}} button to fire Luigi, it  will automatically fire and will deal a minimal amount of damage to a random enemy. It is possible to hit several enemies in a row with the attack.


This attack has multiple failure points. Releasing the {{button|3ds|stick}} before reaching the furthest point or before pressing {{button|3ds|B}} causes the move to fail, as does not pressing {{button|3ds|B}} after fully stretching the slingshot. The attack will fail if the player takes too long to aim. In these cases, the slingshot fires Mario and Luigi on its own. They land on one or two random enemies, dealing a minimal amount of damage. The player can simply miss the shot, dealing no damage.
The Slingsniper does critical damage to [[Pi'illodactyl]]s, [[Wiggler#Mario & Luigi: Dream Team|Wiggler]], [[Pi'illodactyl R]]s, [[Pi'illodium]], [[Grobot X]], [[Torkscrew X]], [[Mammoshka X]], [[Dreamy Bowser]] and [[Pi'illodium X]] if it strikes them where a star mark appears, presumably indicating their weak spot. This move is incredibly overpowered.
 
A shot fired fast enough to pierce enemies yields an "Excellent" attack rating. Slower shots offer progressively lower ratings of "Great", "Good", and "OK". If the move fails, either through the misfire or by Luigi missing all enemies, no rating is given.

In the [[Mad Skillathon]], the player repeatedly uses Slingsniper. The player has three lives. The "stretching" phase is automatic, skipping directly to aiming and shooting. and the player has to press B to shoot in the second phase, rather than holding it down and releasing to shoot. All shots in this game pass through enemies, regardless of speed.
 
Enemies consist of red grounded monsters and blue flying monsters. Many monsters will be moving, though they stop in place once Luigi is fired. However, the motions of the enemies skip ahead a little after each shot. In later rounds, some enemies can turn invisible. In all cases, one hit from the Slingsniper defeats any enemy. If Luigi and Mario are flung forward because {{button|3ds|B}} was not pressed in time, these monsters take damage but are not defeated. A shot that fails to defeat any enemies costs the player one life, and losing all lives is a [[Game Over]].
 
Luigi earns points when a monster defeated, with the number of points starting higher if the move is executed quickly. If multiple monsters are defeated in the same shot, each monster grants one more point for every previous monster defeated with that shot. After all enemies are defeated, the player gets bonus points. These are variable, but the maximum number of bonus points is 20, which appears to be rewarded when the final attack gets an Excellent rating. A new set of enemies will appear.

==Notes==
*Luigi has to walk back to the Bros. position after being fired from this attack. If the player shoots Luigi sufficiently far, the time taken for Luigi to return can be noticeably long.
*If Luigi is aimed at the ground, he will bounce off. If Luigi is aimed too close to the slingshot, he does not bounce.
*This attack is one of two [[Bros. Attack]]s in the ''[[Mario & Luigi (series)|Mario & Luigi]]'' series to use B but not A, the other being [[Thunder Bros.]] from ''[[Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga]]'' until the player learns the [[Super Attack]].
