A given Nooz can switch between the two forms. They attack by "sneezing" at Mario or Luigi. Unfortunately, this attack cannot be jumped on and will instead hurt the Mario Bros. should they try to do so. This attack also has a possibility of giving them the [[Trip]] status effect. Like Mario and Luigi, they have a [[Bros. Attack]]. A red Nooz gets on top of a green Nooz and jumps into the air. It then flies to Mario and tries to land on him. Sometimes the Nooz "sneezes" to slow its descent, likely causing Mario to counter with his hammer too quickly. Afterward, the green Nooz will attempt to charge Luigi. This bro attack resembles the advanced [[Splash Bros.]] attack from ''[[Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga]]''. Noozes can also sing the first few notes of the ending theme from ''[[Super Mario Bros.]]'' during battle to summon Noozs. Its color indicates which of the Mario brothers it will attack similar to [[Thwack]]s and [[Wonder Thwack]]s from [[Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time|the previous game]]. They can also call in reinforcements when they sing.

A given Nooz can switch between the two forms. They attack by "sneezing" a small cloud at Mario or Luigi. This cloud cannot be jumped on, as it will hurt the Mario Bros. should they try to do so. It also has a possibility of giving them the Trip status effect. They also have an attack resembling a Bros. Attack, where a red Nooz bounces off of a green Nooz into the Top Screen. It then flies above Mario and tries to land on him. Sometimes the Nooz "sneezes" to slow its descent, which can cause Mario to counter with his hammer too quickly. Afterward, the green Nooz will attempt to charge Luigi. This attack resembles the advanced Splash Bros. attack from Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga. Noozes can also sing the first few notes of the ending theme from Super Mario Bros. during battle to summon other Noozes. Its color indicates which of the Mario brothers it will attack, similar to Thwacks and Wonder Thwacks from the previous game.

A Nooz is one of the enemies contained in a Junker Can in the battle with Junker. In the original, it is always green, but will attack Mario if he destroys the Junker Can the Nooz was hidden in; the remake has it match its proper color when attacking Mario.
