| | '''Thunderhand''' is a move used by [[Luigi]] during the events of ''[[Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga]]''. It is also the brother move of the [[Firebrand]]. He is taught this by the [[Fire and Thunder Gods|Thunder God]] in the [[Thunder Palace]]. It is even further advanced after [[Jellyfish Sisters|Merri]] teaches him how to use it along with [[Mario]]. |

| The '''Thunderhand''' is one of the two types of [[Hand Power]]s that is used by [[Luigi]] in ''[[Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga]]'' and its [[Nintendo 3DS|3DS]] remake, ''[[Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga + Bowser's Minions]]'', being the opposite of the [[Firebrand]], which is used by [[Mario]]. Luigi is taught this power by [[Firebrand and Thunderhand|Thunderhand]] in the [[Thunder Palace]], and he is taught an [[Tickle|advanced technique]] by the [[Jellyfish Sisters]], allowing Luigi to shock Mario so he can be stuck to him and move slower while facing one direction. This can be used to pass through slow-moving spiked barrels and activate [[Boo Statue]]s by moving into them while facing the opposite direction. In the case when Mario [[Pump Mario|fills himself with water]], Luigi can tickle him so he can spit out all the water on the ground, making certain sprouts in the ground grow. To use this move, the player must have Luigi as the lead brother, switch to the Thunderhand command by using {{button|gba|R}}/{{button|gba|L}}, hold down {{button|gba|B}}, and release it when they fully charge the thunderbolt, which can power [[conductor]]s.

| In battle, the Thunderhand can be used offensively against enemies. Using the Thunderhand on blue [[Oho Jee]] in the overworld causes them to go wild and attack Mario and Luigi, forcing them into a battle. When using it, the player must press {{button|gba|B}} when Luigi fully charges the thunderbolt. Failure in doing so results in Luigi shocking himself and the move dealing less damage. For some enemies, the Thunderhand is either a weakness or their only vulnerability, such as with [[Sharpea]]s and [[Troopea]]s; other enemies (such as [[Bowletta]]'s dark form and [[Mom Piranha]]'s blue form) absorb the attack and get healed instead. Mario and Luigi can also use the [[Thunder Bros.]] [[Bros. Attack]], which involves Luigi charging up a thunderbolt, jumping on Mario, and launching it downwards at enemies, [[DEF-Down|lowering their defense]]. It also has a [[Advanced Command|more powerful version]], Super Thunder Bros., which consumes fewer [[Bros. Point]]s in the remake. Here, Mario [[Dunk Hammer|pounds Luigi into the ground]] with his [[hammer]] so Luigi can move beneath a single enemy to perform an electrified uppercut, which can also [[POW-Down|lower their attack power]].
| | Thunderhand can power [[Lightning Orb]]s and defeat thunder-prone enemies. It was the only way to defeat the [[Piranha Plant]]s that cover the runway on the [[Beanbean International Airport]]. In battle it proves useful against certain enemies. They can also use [[Thunder Bros.]] after the [[Jellyfish Sisters]] teach Luigi the advanced method. After the advanced method is taught, Luigi can tickle Mario causing them to "stick together" and move faster. This can be used to pass through slow-moving spiked barrels and activate [[Boo Statue]]s. |
|
| |
|
| Also in the remake, the Thunderhand can be used to perform a [[First Strike]]. If this is done, enemies may become [[dizzy]] at the start of the battle.
| | Besides Luigi, [[Jellyfish Sisters|Merri]] and the Thunder God, it can be said that [[Cackletta]] also knows it. One of Cackletta's moves during the final battle, when Cackletta snaps her right fingers, she will create a ball of thunder. Because the Thunder God tells Luigi that no one has visited the Thunder Temple in 3000 years, Cackletta is possibly at least that old. However, this may also be just a normal power of Cackletta, just like shooting energy balls or creating a fake [[Fawful]]. |

| | This power has not been mentioned since this game, although in ''[[Mario Strikers Charged]]'', Luigi's Mega Strike involves him using electricity. In ''[[Super Paper Mario]]'', [[Mr. L]] referred to himself by the nickname '''The Green Thunder'''. |
