'''Thunder Bros.''' is one of [[Luigi]]'s [[Bros. Attack]]s in ''[[Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga]]'' and ''[[Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga + Bowser's Minions]]''. It based off of Luigi's [[Thunderhand]] move in the game. The move costs six [[Bros. Points|BP]] on Modes 1 and 2, and four BP on Mode 3. In the remake, the move costs fourteen/ten BP on Normal, and seventeen/thirteen BP on Easy. Luigi will charge up a ball of electricity in his hands. When fully charged, pressing the {{button|gba|B}} results in Luigi jumping on Mario. Another press on {{button|gba|B}} at this time will send Luigi flying into the air, and one more {{button|gba|B}} hit will allow Luigi to cast a thunderbolt below him, causing some damage to all enemies on the ground. The attack, if performed correctly, always [[DEF-Down|lowers the enemies' defense]]. Thunder Bros. cannot hit airborne enemies unless the player fails the second [[Action Command]].  
'''Thunder Bros.''' is one of [[Luigi]]'s [[Bros. Attack]]s in ''[[Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga]]'' and ''[[Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga + Bowser's Minions]]''. Using Thunder Bros. costs six [[Bros. Points|BP]] on Modes 1 and 2, and four BP on Mode 3. In the remake, the move costs fourteen/ten BP on Normal, and seventeen/thirteen BP on Easy.


Once the attack has been successfully executed eighteen times, the [[Super Attack|Advanced Command]] is learned. In the Advanced version, Luigi damages only one enemy with more damage. To execute it, the player should press {{button|gba|B}} after the initial charge. Before Luigi lands on Mario, press {{button|gba|A}} to make Mario step backwards. Press {{button|gba|A}} again to make Mario [[Dunk Hammer|pound Luigi into the ground]] with his [[Hammer]]. Luigi moves over to the target. By pressing {{button|gba|B}} again when Luigi is underneath the target, Luigi attacks with a blue electrifying uppercut that can even hit airborne enemies. The Advanced version, when performed correctly, will also [[POW-Down|lower the enemy's attack power]].
When using Thunder Bros., Luigi first charges a ball of electricity in his hands, similarly to [[Thunderhand]]. The player should then press {{button|gba|B}} for Luigi to jump on Mario, then press {{button|gba|B}} again to send Luigi into the air, and lastly press {{button|gba|B}} a third time to make Luigi create a blue lightning bolt that strikes all enemies on the ground below and inflict them with [[DEF-Down]]. Thunder Bros. does not affect enemies in midair unless the player fails the second [[Action Command]].
 
The [[Super Attack|Advanced Command]] can be learned after using Thunder Bros. eighteen times in total successfully. The Advanced Command allows Luigi to inflict more damage, although only toward one enemy, which could be why the remake requires the use of fewer Bros. Points. The player can activate the move by pressing {{button|gba|B}} once Luigi's [[Thunderhand]] is charged. They must then press {{button|gba|A}} to move Mario back, then press {{button|gba|A}} again to have Mario use [[Dunk Hammer]], slamming Luigi into the ground. Lastly, the player must press {{button|gba|B}} when Luigi is below the target. Coming afterward is the move itself, where Luigi does an electrifying blue lightning strike, not only damaging the enemy but also inflicting [[POW-Down]] upon them.


In ''Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga + Bowser's Minions'', the attack's animations are different. The first {{button|3DS|B}} press is for fully charging the orb instead of jumping, the latter occurs automatically. Instead of a thunderbolt, Thunder Bros. ends with Luigi casting the orb down, and it explodes upon contact with the ground. This explosion means the attack now hits airborne enemies. Failing the second Action Command instead has Luigi unleashing the electric energy from his hand to a single enemy, dealing moderate damage to that enemy. Instead of learning an Advanced Command, Luigi learns the [[Super Attack]] '''Super Thunder Bros.''' In Super Thunder Bros, Luigi charges up the ball of electricity in front of Mario. {{button|3ds|B}} is used to finish charging, as with Thunder Bros. but this means the jump over Mario and {{button|3DS|A}} press to have Mario step backward are removed. The final uppercut has three purple lightning bolts instead of blue.

==Notes==
*Interestingly, the Bros. Attack in ''Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga + Bowser's Minions'' costs less Bros. Points to use its Super version than its regular version. This is possibly due to the former only targeting one enemy as opposed to latter targeting all enemies.
